Any Songs Give You A Chill?

tbar220 · Thu Jun 12, 2003 1:19 pm

So are there any songs that when you listen to them, there's something about them that gives you a chill? That feeling up and down your spine? Something so good about it that every time you hear it the song still does it to you?

Here's two that do it to me:

U2 - "Where The Streets Have No Name"
Goo Goo Dolls - "Iris"

CPH-R · Thu Jun 12, 2003 1:43 pm

For me, there are 2 songs:
"Celtic Bagpipes - Amazing Grace" - I remember hearing for the first time (that is, Amazing Grace being played on a bagpipe) when the English Queen Mother wa buried, and it just gave me chills.
"Patty Smith - Alive (Live at Roskilde Festival 2001)" - It was the last song that I heard at that festival, and I really got the shivers when the intro was played. Because my mind went straight back to the previous festival, where 9 young men had been crushed to death during a concert with Pearl Jam.

"Space Between" by Dave Matthews Band gets me good cause it reminds me of someone that has brought a combination of joy and sorrow to my life and I'll never forget her for it.

Also...

"Kite" by U2
"I've Been High" by R.E.M
"Stood Up For Love" by Live

Several others...but these certainly give me the goosebumps so to speak.

Aerosmith - Dream On

Ever since it was played in our limo on grad night. *shivers*

Okay, I'm probably older than you guys, but "Invisible Sun" by the Police sent shivers up my spine when I heard it in high school (~1980) and still does the odd time I hear it.

"Space Between" by Dave Matthews Band gets me good

Yeah.....that one (more than any other) gets on my brain and I can't get it out. It's addictive and haunting.

Also, "Drops of Jupiter" by Train.

It's raining men- by Geri Haliwell.

It doesn't give me chill, but rather gets my thighs burning!

Marco V vs Paul Van Dyk-For a revolt

Sophie Ellis Bextor-I'll get over you (?) (Don't laugh!, it's a really good song)

U2-Beautiful day

Amongst others that i can't think of right now.

aloges · Thu Jun 12, 2003 6:40 pm

Every once in a while, "Adiemus", that Delta song (no pun), gives me one. But there are some songs that can get me messed up because they make me remember great passed times, like "You're Just Too Good To Be True" by Andy Williams or "Giulia" by Capital Inicial (Brazilian). "Velvet" by a-ha feels strange, too.

bobrayner · Thu Jun 12, 2003 6:46 pm

Massive Attack, "Unfinished sympathy". If this doesn't make hairs stand up on the back of your neck, you're probably not a mammal. Smile/happy/getting dizzy

Ooooeers,

ANYTHING TRANCE - That is uplifting.

Better than sex.

Play me a good Trance track and I'm yours .. lol

"No more tears" by Ozzy Osbourne. Heavenly piece of music in the middle. Smile

But in general I like the way the song is built up.

"Short Dick Man" - Gillette

It gives me a complex. Sad

Shamrock_747 · Thu Jun 12, 2003 9:09 pm

I have to add U2 'Where The Streets Have No Name' as well. The first time I heard it was on a beautiful clear day looking down on the West Coast of the USA when I was on board a Virgin 744 cruising at FL390. The combination of such a brilliant song, the awesome view and the excitement I had at the start of the holiday was just amazing. I always think back to that moment whenever I hear that song.

AA727 · Fri Jun 13, 2003 2:26 am

"In A Little While" and just about anything from the Joshua Tree. U2 seems to be able to give that "chill" with just about any song they record.

No, but anything by Kylie Minogue makes me vomit.
Does that count?

Stevie Ray Vaughns' instrumental cover of 'Little Wing'. Man, can that guy play guitar. Also the beginning of 'Since I've been Loving You' by Led Zeppelin.

MSYtristar · Fri Jun 13, 2003 9:08 am

I also have to add "Learn to Fly" by the Foo Fighters into this list...gets me pumped up every time. Smile

Westjet_737 · Fri Jun 13, 2003 9:16 am

Gloria and Kite by U2. Both are very powerful to me.

SWA TPA · Fri Jun 13, 2003 9:51 am

Creed-My Sacrifice, describes a past relationship that got revisited, perfectly. Space Between is also great!

I don't know if this counts, but try this music video out.

Very 1960's Campy....You might recognize the singer.

It is a decent sized file so be warned.

Abba's "Fernando" is a song I have been listening to since April and I cannot get enough. Every time I listen to it, it brings back memories of flight 8F 2202 from MLA to PRG which I took on 24th March, probably the best flight ever in my life.
(Just for the record, the song was played as boarding music.)

Guest · Sat Jun 14, 2003 4:14 am

"Every Generation's got it's own Disease" - Fury in the Slaughterhouse
"Inside Out" - Anthrax
"I'll fall on Your Knife" - Peter Murphy
"The Pass" - Rush
"Blood Brothers" - Iron Maiden
"Prime Mover" - Rush

Needless to say I have an eclectic taste in music Nuts

mika · Sat Jun 14, 2003 6:38 am

eclectic

Pardon my igorance but isn't it ecleftic?

Correct me if i'm wrong. I'm not trying to be a wise a$$ or anything, i'm just curious how it's correctly spelled.

sleekjet · Sat Jun 14, 2003 6:47 am

"Eclectic" is correct.

"O Canada" does it to me.

Anything by Enya.

When my congregation sings the final verse of "When Peace Like a River".

Guest · Sat Jun 14, 2003 6:48 am

According to spell check it's eclectic....... That's how I've always known it. Oh well, everyone's got their own way of pronouncing stuff Smile

mika · Sat Jun 14, 2003 7:29 am

The reason i wondered about the spelling is that Wyclef Jean's last album was called "The Ecleftic". "ecleftic" probably was a spinn off on his name Wyclef then i guess.

ra-85154 · Sat Jun 14, 2003 11:50 pm

ABBA - "The Visitors"
Coldplay - "The Scientist"
from the Hannibal Movie Soundtrack - "Vide Cor Meum"

MSYtristar · Sun Jun 15, 2003 10:48 am

"Who Wants to Live Forever" - Queen, from the Highlander soundtrack

GREAT tune!

fly_yhm · Sun Jun 15, 2003 12:01 pm

This is very tough

"Drops of Jupiter" Train

"Bring me to Life" Evanscence

"you won't be mine" Matchbox Twenty

"Trouble" Coldplay

Im sure I have more but I would really have to think.

kaitakfan · Sun Jun 15, 2003 2:24 pm

With or without you as well as New York from U2. I think U2 is the overall highest vote getter in this thread for sure!

Notar520AC · Sun Jun 15, 2003 3:07 pm

"Cry, and some others" by Faith Hill- she has such a beautiful voice.

"Don't Speak" by No Doubt

"Wicked Ways" by Garbage

"Heart of Glass" by Blondie

"Hold On" by Good Charlotte

jessman · Mon Jun 16, 2003 10:14 am

Adagio for Strings - Samuel Barber; This one is just simply beautiful. It was used in Platoon when the chopper is lifting off leaving the lone American soldier to be shot. That scene is moving, but to me the song brings back memories of good people in my life who have passed away. When the music climaxes it's like a soul breaking free into a higher existance.

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus - Newsboys; Actually a lot of praise music will do it, but this one was the first that came to mind.

sushka · Mon Jun 16, 2003 11:26 pm

It happens to me so much when I listen to Russian "Popsa" that It makes me want to cry. It just brings back so many memories.

EA CO AS · Tue Jun 17, 2003 6:58 am

About as far apart in the spectrum as you can get, but here goes:

"Unchained" by Van Halen

"Love is on the Air" by Lou Rawls

POSITIVE RATE · Tue Jun 17, 2003 1:48 pm

I second what someone else said above. "Cry" by Faith Hill does it for me. What a honey she is. There's also "Jump" by Van Halen i think - the one with the Blue Angels film clip in the background-Awesome!

EA CO AS · Tue Jun 17, 2003 2:00 pm

Van Halen i think - the one with the Blue Angels film clip in the background-Awesome!

The name of the song eludes me, but it was Van HAGAR, not Van Halen.

dinker225 · Tue Jun 17, 2003 2:19 pm

"Dust in the Wind" This song really makes me think.

I don't know why, but Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio reminds me of immigration at LAX!

"Spirit in the Sky" by Norman Greenbaum - always gave me a chill especially if I was about to go flying.
