Creating this as some kind of an opposition to Chris' and George's Song Lyrics thread Wink
Here's something for a start.

Apollo 440 - For Forty Days (5:30)

Yesterday, I was listening to it again and again. Couldn't help myself but have the feeling that I'm nearby a waterfall, or a fountain, or a stream in the forest. Very pleasant and cheerful music, and I hope, not very known here. Smile

Hm, so the rules are just to post a song that doesn't have lyrics? Seems easy enough. Smile

Dagdamor
You're right, that song does give you the feeling of being in nature somewhere, and although it gets a little repetitive toward the end, it's a great track. Kind of like meditation mixed with dance music. Wink

Well, I've got a few songs I can post here... first of all one of my favorite instrument-only songs by, yes, the one and only... Pink Floyd. Tongue

"Any Colour You Like" -by Pink Floyd

This is probably the most psychedelic song I've ever heard. Did my best to find a YouTube video of the album version, the live ones are good too, but somehow don't do it enough justice.

*knows what kind of thing to expect from Marco and Casper on this topic* Wink

Whenever people mention their fav instrumental music,..my mind immediately jumps to The Lion King..
Yes I am that obsessed Big Grin but I always have loved the backing music and instrumental scores of the film for the movie AND the musical...
They're very soothing, and some are very lively that they make you feel happy, some are more classical than others, but all are very "African" and feature a lot of rhythm, woodwind etc...

My fav is probably "This Land" cos, it just sends shivers up my spine every time I hear it..
Here's a video I found, not the best ever, but I have mainly linked it for the music if anyones interested:

Hehe, now this is my kind of thread. Tongue In my book: Lyrical < Instrumental

Dagdamor
Yes, that is a cheerful tune indeed! I love that kind of music. Wink *downloads to drive* Really reminds me of typical SimCity music, those tracks are always a bit different, in the same sense as this one. Kind of an inspirational tune that just seems to tell you to push on. (Strangely not in a stressful way.)

GeorgeHarrison
I think that's a pretty good tune actually, but I think the word "trippy" works better for this one. Smile

Black_raven
Not a big fan of the Lion King but I do like orchestrated songs like this. Wink

lizard_queen
Haha, yeah I saw that kid do the super mario theme, real funny looking tbh. XD

I do hate the sound quality of youtube, but for a good starter tune, let's kick it off with...

Final Fantasy VII AC - Those Who Fight

(Oh, yes! I LOVE the piano.)

WARNING: Don't listen to the following song if you're depressed. But do if you lik traveling with your mind Smile

I have heaps of favourite instrumentals, but lately this one is without doubt the one that touched my soul the most. It's part 1 and 2 of the Agalloch trilogy "Our fortress is burning". I took out art three because it's definitely not what you'd call music, although it has its meaning. Smile

There's a little vocals in the end of the song, last minute or so, but it's definitely not singing and the lyrics lose importance to the actual voice at that point, so it's like an instrument. See you in the desolate lands...

Not usually into "remixes" of classical stuff but i really love the following track:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMtmomHeXvA

William Orbit vs. Ferry Corsten - Barbers Adagio for strings.

There is something about it that appeals to me, quite often use it as an intro song when i do live shows online, i then usually play something like classic rock after it lol.

Marco beat me to it! Big Grin If I'd have posted any instrumental Agalloch song, that would have been it. Even if it has some very slight words in it, its a very great experience in the right circumstances.

The guy playing the Simpsons tune is very impressive, even more so that its one person playing two instruments  Eek


And ouh! 'Adagio For Strings', I like. Smile My brothers into this kinda stuff, and I bet its more Andreas' taste too Wink I dont mind it at all, its very soothing, reminds me of 'Binary Finary' which I used to listen to day in day out... ah... the good ol' days of trance...

You know Binary Finary? Wow. Smile And yes, I like the Ferry Corsten Mix of "Adagio For Strings" a lot as well, I even bought the CD when it was published. I had to preorder it, since it wasn't out in Germany when it was already hitting the charts in the UK.

Well, I think I may have posted this in the song lyrics thread already as a supplement to another set of lyrics. It really deserves a place here though, it's one of the most soulful and moving instrumental songs I've ever heard. Although the memories it awakes are somewhat painful and bitter, it's definitely earned a special place in my archive of music.

"Marooned" -by Pink Floyd

Take the time to listen. Somehow I don't think you'll regret it. Smile

Yeah, Pink Floyd, good pieces...

David Gilmour - Red Sky At Night

Those scenes are from the movie "Children of men" one of my favorite. So is the song...

Ah goodness, Gilmour can certainly write good instrumental Tongue And I believe that he just recently was beginning to learn saxophone. "Red Sky At Night" certainly shows his talent and knack for music of all kinds.

Anyway... I see your Red Sky at Night, and raise you one Castellorizon.

"Castellorizon" -by David Gilmour

Almost reminds me of a shortened, percussionless version of Marooned.

Here's probably Green Day's best instrumental; Last Ride In. It's a calm surf rock song, and it gives you a perfect mental image of a beach at sunset. At least, for me it did.

One of Dream Theater's best instrumentals to date. You might find it boring in the middle but i think it's a great blend of technical musicianship and melody. The last 2 minutes where the climax is reached are to die for. Smile
