Goose bump songs

[dave]

A few more to add to the mix,
Who'll Stop the Rain by Creedence
America, Simon and Garfunkel
Goodbye to Love, The Carpenters. This one give me chills because of the way Karen was calling out. Very SAD situation there
Islands in the Stream, Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton, Paying honor to my wife of 28 years here!!!
Your my Soul and Inspiration, The Rightous Brothers

One thing though, all of these must be played at a substancial volume to get the most out of them

Just heard it yesterday and it brought goose-bumps:

Cherish by the Association

[rotel&energy]

a few choices from a young guy...

Paper Tiger by Beck from Sea Change
- for me, this is one of the best sounding songs in my collection. it can give me goose bumps.

The Scientist by Coldplay from A Rush of Blood to the Head
- some songs take you back to a time in your life (good or bad). The Scientist takes me back to a very difficult stretch I had w/ my girlfriend (now fiancee). To this day it gives me chills, it makes my fiancee cry.

Let Down by Radiohead from OK Computer
- IMO, one of their best songs. i've listened to this song countless times and it still gets me.

probably a cliche, but the intro to Time by Pink Floyd gives me goose bumps. - this is probably due to the fact that it was the first song i played once i had my system hooked up. the anticipation of how it would all sound and the buyer's remorse combined to raise the little hairs on the back of my neck.

[Bam!]

I have to agree with Let down by Radiohead.....good pick....

[Chris D]

You may laugh, but "Solitaire" redone by Clay Aiken. and a few others.

[Bam!]

no Chris...what makes me laugh is that Celine Dion has the most albums ever sold.....

and......

(and what Bam!?)

and....not one person put her on the goose bump list.....

she gives me goose bumps alright...LOL

[David Meek]

Ohhh, Bam has a "thing" for Celine Dion! :alol:

[Burke Strickland]

what makes me laugh is that Celine Dion has the most albums ever sold...

... and McDonald's has the sold the most hamburgers ever, but that doesn't mean they're good. I guess I should add her to my list, though, since Celine Dion gives me goose bumps, too -- the same way as fingernails scraping a blackboard (only the fingernails on blackboard tend to be more melodic.) :>)

Actually, the female singer we both really like, whom I neglected to include before, is Patricia Barber -- now there's someone who can raise goosebumps for real. Hmmm... gotta go play "Cafe Blue" or "Modern Cool" or "Verse" or "companion" or "A Distortion of Love" or "Split" or "nightclub" or maybe all of the above -- TTYL :>)

Burke

[Bam!]

Burke!

That's pretty much how I get goosebumps off of Celine.....like finger nails on a chalk board! LOL...I wasn't sure when I wrote that how people would react......I was hoping I wouldn't get a :F

That being said....

Burke! :T

[jimmyp58]

Has anyone mentioned the theme from "Rocky"?

[JonMarsh]

"Cliffs of Dover" - Ah Via Musicom

Now Playing - Ah Via Musicom, Eric Johnson, "Cliffs of Dover". Defintely guitar god material, with more than a small amount of influence from great classical violin players, and from Arron Copeland. Brings tears to my eyes. Literally.

[NMyTree]

[Alaric]

I'm at it again

Do you folks hate when a new guy digs up old threads ? :roll: If so , sorry! Soon as I go back to work I'll be less of a pest...
Goose bump songs!
Break Your Heart-Natalie Merchant
Because The Night-Patti Smith
Crazy On You-Heart
Simple Man-Lynrd Skynrd ( I have the version they demoed for MCA)

I could go on for another week or so but I'll spare everybody.

[Burke Strickland]

Do you folks hate when a new guy digs up old threads ?

Actually, I think it's a GOOD thing... shows that people are taking advantage of the complete archive we have on line here, checking out stuff that remains as interesting now as the day it was posted. Even better, it gives you the opportunity to add something new to share with the rest of us framed in a "conversation" that many of us are already familair with.


All of your choices are "winners". I hadn't thought about Heart and "Crazy On You" in years, but thinking back to when I first heard it, the magic is still there.

Patti Smith has a fascinating body -- of work. :>) Her albums kind of grow on you with repeated listening, even if the individual songs don't all give goose bumps on first hearing.

Although I lived in Alabama right about the time when "Sweet Home Alabama" was popular nation-wide, you deserve extra credit for picking one of Lynrd Skynrd's OTHER songs. :>)

Thanks for reviving the thread. You're on a roll ... don't stop now!

Burke

My sister spent many years learning to sing opera. About 6 years ago she was going to perform Ave Maria for a local choir ( yes she taught opera as well). Ironically, this was right after our dad passed on. When she was practicing,..... man,..... inexplicable. ops:
Also, Amazing Grace performed on bagpipes always draws me in and gives me goosebumps.

[Alaric]

Yup. Amazing Grace done well on the 'pipes is one of my favorites.
