Chilling Music . . .

magikev

So we all have 'em . . . songs that we listen to and they stir up some emotion, and send that little chill right up the back up our spines. Although typically slow and melodic, these can range really all over the spectrum. So what are your top ten, in no specific order? Try not to say "Evenflow, because it's the first Pearl Jam song I ever heard and it makes me happy to hear" or any crap like that. Just think of the ten songs that speak directly to you the most. Here are mine . . .

Black - Pearl Jam
Sad - Pearl Jam
Lover You Should Have Come Over - Jeff Buckley
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
Let it Be - The Beatles
Covered in Rain - John Mayer
Amsterdam - Coldplay
Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits
Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton
Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own - U2

It's an ever changing list, but these are the 10 as of now.

Street Spirit(Fade Out) - Radiohead
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
Lady So Devine - Shinedown

For the ultimate chillin out album, check out The In Sound From Way Out by the Beastie Boys. Its all instrumental, some from older albums and some unreleased. Either way, the entire thing flows so well and has an amazing groove.

anything & everything off Mark Lanegan's "Scraps at Midnight" & "Whiskey for the holy ghost"

If we speak of bone chilling music..i must say I want to represent Soundgarden and the work on Badmotorfinger. Listen to Slaves and Bulldozers, Jesus Christ Pose, Holy Water, New Damage, and so many other tracks and tell me that doesn't send chills. Absolutely chilling. Also on Superunknown, to this day that first 3 measures of black hole sun..the entrance..it just sends you off..beautiful..then the verses when it sounds so beautiful and serene yet hopeless..definitely chilling.

There are plenty of other bands/songs that do this to me but i felt the need to show soundgarden here.

Yep, I have to agree with:
Brothers in arms
Black
Hallelujah (but I heard the Cohen version first so it’s my favourite)
You raise me up
Street spirit


Gonna add:
Nessun Dorma – the Three Tenors

Ahh, I know there’s loads more but I can’t really think right now.

I'm not going to dive into a list, although I will say Black right off the top of my head. But the song that sent chills down my spine and dug up the deepest emotion was Lightning Crashes, I was driving down I-81 back in 2004 on my home for my grandmother's funeral when this song came on. Listening to the words just rang so true, because just a day or so earlier my grandmother passed away from a 10 year struggle with Alzheimer's, but just a few weeks prior to that my sister gave birth to her first child. Just hearing the words of the song brought all the emotion to the top on that trip home.
