Could be classical, modern, or from TV Shows, Movies, Video Games, or any form of media, but instrumental only.

I need a list of good music to help me cope with depression. Thanks

    Tool - Triad
    Faith No More - Woodpecker From Mars
    Star Trek II soundtrack
    Batman (1989) soundtrack

    Stick Figure (reggae) has some of his albums as instrumentals only on youtube. I can also say you might try listening to his regular albums. It certainly helped me get through a rough patch recently. I find his music and lyrics to be very uplifting.

    I’m not sure if these will help, when I listen to instrumental stuff it’s usually just a (personal) productivity thing.

    David Bergeaud (Ratchet and Clank (1) OST) (some of the other games too, but for me less so the newer stuff games that have more action-movie orchestral music) (listen also: Spyro OST, different type of groove)

    On the other hand, Journey for Tuba - II. Ballad has that mystery/free-roaming sound at the start (listen also: Bully OST)

    I also like radio.garden with my local NPR stations (2 channels, often classical and jazz, so if you want to skip news… not always instrumental though) also ouch. There once was Radio Riel (in Detroit, MI), but it doesn’t currently work on garden, they seem to have changed names. You might want folk or reverie, depending on what’s playing. (though is non-english voice an instrument?)

    The Over The Garden Wall OST is good, but not all instrumental. I did find an instrumental version, so maybe? Also, this is an autumn vibe.

    For more game OST stuff, maybe something from Oddworld (if you can appreciate the atmospheric without it seeming too dreary), or Tomba is more cheery. Maybe even the Sims (Sims 2 is cheery and complex, Sims 1 is simpler, also there seems to be diff music for PC and consoles).

    You probably could also go even simpler than instrumental, for instance searching ‘piano solo music’.

    Oddball here. I like mod files and midi files :)

    Booka Shade is also good.

    Oh, and also Theatre Organ stuff if you have a subwoofer.

    You could try The Endless River by Pink Floyd

    From wikipedia

    The Endless River comprises mainly instrumental and ambient music

    I haven’t kept up with David Gilmours solo efforts but I think his post-floyd recordings are in the instrumental genre.

    I don’t see Explosions in the Sky mentioned yet but they’re definitely worth a listen.

    I’m not sure how to describe my instrumental music taste. Maybe engaging epic fantasy music?

    My top 3 are:

    • The Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks
    • How to Train Your Dragon soundtracks
    • Anything by Antti Martikainen - he’s a composer who has a variety of albums in different music styles that range from orchestra to celtic to rock/metal. ‘The Sound of Courage’ is probably my favorite, followed by ‘Sonic Savior’

    Boards of Canada for some lofi nostalgia

    Streets of Rage soundtrack, Sonic 1-3, donkey Kong country aquatic something is a killer

    Commix - call to mind is some classic dnb, some lyrics but often looped and mixed to be more of just another instrument

    Sasha - airdrawndagger, more ambient slower melodies

    Tycho - dive

    Anything by Philip Glass or John Williams

    Cloudkicker - Beacons, progressive metal band instrumentation kinda like animals as leaders

    2010 Toyota Corolla - 2003 Toyota Corolla is the new national anthem

    Bohren & der club of gore for some slow noir jazz
