Songs that give you 'goosebumps!'

[Sonea Fifer]

Guns n Roses - November Rain

my all time favorite song

As for giving goosebumps:

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms

Edit / Had to add this for the ultimate in goosebumps. The fact that the poor bloke is so nervous but goes on and blows away the judges. The standing ovation was well deserved imo

 

[Dr.EM]

I would say dynamics play a big part in this, both of volume and pitch. Although an excellent lead melody can create this effect.

Heres a track you might recognise (used on PoP trailer );

When I did my research, this song came up loads and interestingly every person who included this song in the survey was female... Just a little fact for you there! haha

This change of gender comes as no end of a surprise to me and probably quite a few other people too.

Having thought about it a bit more Wilco - Jesus Etc is another one of those songs, it is simply a beautiful song.

 

[Swordfish]

U2 - One

Class

Sanvean by Dead Can Dance. Never has a song given me goosebumps like this. And to think it's live as well...fantastic.

 

[DampCat]

Jeff Buckley, Hallelujah

and;

The Pixies, Where Is My Mind

 

[Fubsy]

Radiohead this year, both Karma Police and Lucky had all my hair doing head stands, there was like an electric charge throughout the whole of the cricket ground originating from the stage.

 

[titchard]

The Streets - Turn the Page

Bit of an odd choice but such an epic opening track for me.

Rich

 

[dante6491]

Lisa Gerrard: Aria
Diana Vickers: With or Without Chuuuuuuu

 

[Dracata]

Definately Hide and Seek for me too, and strangely 'Crawling through Knives' off of Come Clarity, In Flames.

The devastatingly raw tone of his voice at points in that song are awesome

 

[MikeHunt79]

Jamie Woon - Wayfaring Stranger (Burial Remix)

Nothing beats this for me...

 

[Deep]

Last song i can remember is Muse - Showbiz (live at reading 2006)

Watching the video online makes me wish i was there! When he is on his knees playing the riff is just amazing!

Now Muse is a band I definitely need to see live, I can imagine the buzz you would feel watching them!

Greatest band to watch live ever. It is truly immense! The atmosphere is just intense!

I wish i could go and see them live, don't know when their next tour is

They are making their next album now, so probably 2010. A damn shame!

Jamie Woon - Wayfaring Stranger (Burial Remix)

Nothing beats this for me...

Wow MikeHunt79, this is a great track, I love Eva Cassidy's version too. In fact most of Eva Cassidy's music gives me the chills. Thanks for posting the video, what a great remix and a wicked video. Love it!

 

[WILD9]

Michael Nyman - The heart asks the pleasure first

From The Piano.

Lisa Gerrard - Now we are free

From Gladiator

And that Hide and seek is brilliant, thanks for sharing it with us.
