Music from Meditation Spa, especially the album "Piano Relaxation Music For Stress Relief And Healing". I know, they probably couldn't have picked a more new age title, but I think it's really beautiful. It's on Spotify if you have it, otherwise you might have to buy it off of iTunes (I'm not sure, though, it might be on YouTube or somewhere else, but I'm too tired to check )

I'm a little late but here are some calmer things I love:

Inception soundtrack: [link] (ok maybe you have to skip the last 1 to 2 minutes)
Muse, Bedroom Acoustics: [link]
Spirit, The Long Road Back (can't give you a youtube link, it is blocked in my country)
The International, End Titles : [link]
The whole Blood Diamond Soundtrack. I'm pretty sure that most if not all lyrics there are African. And it's really awesome!
Moonlight, Saving Josh: [link]
X-Ray Dog, The Prophet: [link] (does this count as lyrics?)

That's all I can think of at the moment, maybe there is something new.

Here are some suggestions of music I like to listen to:
Dragon Age (game soundtrack): [link]
2 Steps from Hell: [link]
Immediate Music: [link]

and my absolutely favourite is: Lux Aeterna by Clint Mansell: [link] (slightly different version: [link])
