What is some great instrumental music to listen to while writing?
I'm looking for some energetic music with no lyrics in any language. Any vocalization tends to cause my mind to wonder. I like acoustic guitars. I don't like too many synthesized sounds, but a little is okay. I like a variety of music, so suggest anything, and I'll see if I'm game. If you know where I can listen to a sample online, too, that would be great.

I listen to music from the video game "The Longest Journey" quite often when I write. The music is available free for download. See the link. I like the longer pieces especially because they are very repetitive. Music that is too improvisational distracts me when I'm writing.
I also think the "Grizzly Man" soundtrack is excellent as well. It's available on iTunes.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a great band like this. The only vocals that are in any song that I've heard is a brief monologue in the beginning of "Dead Flag Blues," but the rest of that song is simply amazing. I would recommend them if you are willing to listen to a 16-20 minute song.

If you're looking for energy, I would look at some more upbeat classical music, first to come to mind is "Canon in D Major" by Pachebel. "1812 Overture" by Tchaikovsky is a good, upbeat one too.
If you're looking for more modern stuff, maybe find some bluegrass/folk melodies. Those tend to be upbeat and have an acoustic guitarish sound to them.

Roy Ayers. Vibe player, some of his songs do have lyrics, but usually just a chant or something.
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
John Coltrane - Love supreme

the kareoke version of My Immortal by Evanescence is a good one to get thinking. unfortunately there are about some faded lyrics in the background but they blend with the song so much! put it on repeat.its very good. hope my suggestion helps!

Try something like "ocean waves" or something. It is just insertmental. It is suppossed to put you to sleep but it just keeps me up so it might do the same for you.
