A song that literally gave you chills

[Means2nEnd]

Like it was yesterday..I remember exactly where I was..what i was driving..and the goosebumps and chills and my mind exploding. It just came out and it was the first time I heard it Tool The Pot JC Killing it

 

[Pdaddy1978]

Hocus pocus by Focus..... God I love that song

[MBauer]

Man...some great stuff in here. I'll have to agree with the Zevon and Earle's "Johnny Come Lately"

For me, the biggest one is probably Thinh Lizzy's Cowboy Song. When they rip in to that second solo after the break...man....it's all kinds of awesome.

But I think the biggest one for me is this...no bass, obviously. I first heard it as a cover, and it's great - but the original...and the lyrics on this one just get me every single time:

 

[bassstrangler]

Elegia by New Order, especially the 17 minute version.

 

[QweziRider]

Bass content? That last note. Chills.

 

[Hamish MacCleod]

^This

^And This
Rondo

 

[bassstrangler]

^+10000000 with Johnny

 

[Kcarlson]

"Back against the wall" by cage the elephant, the guitar solo near the end hits all the buttons in my brain!

 

[steamthief]

 

[BurningTheAltar]

This song....every damn time. I consider YOB to be the Rush of metal.

 

[Logic_11]

Amazing bass line! at 2:55 "Get your chicken out your corn"
This song is super groovy

 

[AshInAmsterdam]

I highly recommend Radiohead's exit music for a film.

Specifically the cover by Scala and Kolacny brothers. It sets my neck hairs off as it crescendos towards the end.

 

[anton72]

Maybe Tomorrow by Stereophonics

 

[5StringBlues]

Most of Beethoven's 9th symphony

 

[veebass]

In a good way.

While not as vocally accomplished as some more famous versions, this version gets me every time because of the context.

 

[aguacollas]

A forest - The Cure.

 

[Double E]

The first song I remember that gave me chills while actively listening was "Spread Your Wings" from Queen - News of the World



More recently I was pleasantly surprised to come across this group of youngsters playing with some real heart... Phox "Slow Motion" & "Blue and White" in a live performance which is very good!

For some reason this song just grabs me in a bunch of hard to describe ways, first time I heard it, it captured my entire attention.

Lots of songs do, but this memory strikes me hard. Might want it played at the end of my funeral.
