Which songs give you goosebumps?

[olderguy 5797]

Going to show my age here. Con te Partino by Andrea Bocelli.

And for a little Canadian content, the insanely talented Walk off the Earth, doing a version of Adele's Someone Like You. Check out their other stuff, they just released an originals album on itunes (I don't know them personally or professionally, I just think they are worth a plug as I think they still have day jobs):

 

Walk Off the Earth is absolutely ridiculous...I love their version of Little Boxes too. Such a talented group.

We are the world, does it to me every time.

I just saw this thread and I thought I would contribute...

 

Street Spirit - Radiohead

[the passenger 399]

A lot of great songs here. Kudo's to 'At Last' (Etta James owns this one).

 

Times change and there's always my favorite song de jour but time and again i always come back to some of my old friends like this classic by Steve Earle

 

[ajd20000 655]

Here's mine. Chokes me up every time: The Pogues performing "And the Band Played Waltzing Mathilda". Youtube video

.

 

I'm not Australian, and not old enough to remember the First World War, but you don't have to be to be affected by this song. There's even a synergistic effect if you have seen Peter Weir's film Gallipoli (with added Mel Gibson bonus).

[Touch 57501]

There are so many!

 

Joni Mitchell's A CASE OF YOU -- in fact most of her BLUE album.

[Nathalie L 112512]

- by Daughter

[kerrixoxo 33719]

Lenny Kravitz - it ain't over til it's over <3

[FootFetishTess 1261]

I love "At Last". :-D

 

As for goosebumps... "Never Let Me Go" by Florence + the Machine.

Look it up on youtube if you haven't heard it. The instrumentals are lush and rich, her voice is so evocative, and her lyrics... Sucide as redemption, or a different kind of surrender?

Gives me shivers!

[Touch 57501]

ALONE TOGTHER

 

Jo Stafford 1946

 

a TRUE goosebump song if there ever was one!

 

[thedriver 6179]

The ones that really stick with me are Santana with Everlast "Put your lights on"

 

Blue October "Hate Me"

[Wolf Knight 29667]

Well, saw this thread and thought I'd contribute.

 

I used to be a hard ass and in fact for years I was often refered to as being dead inside. I always just felt I was stoic, oh well. A few years ago my daughter was born and a switch was flipped in me and now I get goosebumps and even choaked up over all kinds of stuff. So now there are many songs that have an effect on me.

 

Although I'm not much of a country fan, "Remember When" by Alan Jackson has given me goosebumps.

 

 

Another is, "Kathy's Song" by Simon and Garfunkel it's a beautiful love song and my most favorite song to play and sing.

 

 

Another is "Fields of Gold" by Sting

 

 

Another is a cover, "Time after time" Eva Cassidy but I find alot of stuff by Eva haunting maybe cause she's gone.

The last one for this post comes from the dad in me so don't laugh but it's "Butterfly fiy away" by Miley Cyrus (I danced with my daughter so many times to this song)

 

[Motorbykerider 4754]

Great thread.

 

It's been a while since I have experienced goose bumps for any song. Not sure why.

Years ago it was quite frequent. Maybe because music was less accessible?

Today we are bombarded with content and choices. When was the last time you bought a whole album/CD

and listened to it from start to finish? Not it seems it's just the hit from hundreds of bands.

 

Genesis, Yes, Rush, Gabriel and Queen were constantly giving me the bumps.

 

The last time I got them were for this band, but only this one song, and it's a cover.

Somebody that i used to know [Walk off the Earth]
