  • Too many to mention, but most recently I heard Bridget St John's Ask Me No Questions, produced by John Peel in 1969, and the chills were quickly followed by tears.

    I was just listening to my streaming radio here at work and it played Sunday Bloody Sunday from the Live at Red Rocks album. It reminded me of the first time I'd heard it performed and how it gave me chills. So now I'm thinking, what other songs have had that effect on me? Let compile a short list.

    Luka - Suzan Vega
    Black - PJ
    What's the Matter Here - 10,000 Maniacs
    Into the Mystic - Van Morrisson
    Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton

    PJ covering Love Reign O'er Me did it for me

    everyone's mentioning hurt by johnny cash, but when trent reznor performed it last year at bridge school i got chills...also only by NIN.

    my pj ones are the same as everyone's: release, footsteps, given to fly, reign over me, black....and actually that scream in the beginning of evolution still gets me every time. for real. :)

    oh, and on my own from les mis. :)

    i'm sure there are more....
  • Too lonely - The Mavericks, what a great song.
    I feel very close to you all now; so close I could almost... loan you money. Really. it goes that deep.
    -Tom Waits-

    Everybody should believe in something...I believe i'll have another drink - anonymous -

    Ah that's just drunk talk, sweet beautiful drunk talk.
    -Barney Gumble-

    Long Road and Release usually give me the chills, especially live.

    However, the ultimate chill I've felt was the first time I heard Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company's rendition of Ball and Chain at Monterey Festival. Wowwwwww

    Say Hello to Heaven - ToTD
    Possession - Sarah McLachlin
    In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel

    I love On My Own also from Les Mis ... my fav musical. Great call nfanel.

    As for PJ, Black live - especially the Benaroya version or any with the We Belong Together Tag, Release live to open a show, and I was shaking after Love Reign O'er Me at the Vic so I guess that qualifies. ;)

  • I don't remember the first time I heard most of the early Pearl Jam songs...I was only two when Ten was released, but apparently I loved it from the beginning according to my mother. But definitely Given To Fly and Come Back...I remember just sitting there, drinking them in, and thinking both times, "Oh, so THIS is why this has been my favourite band since before I can remember!"

    Also, Seasons by Chris Cornell, the acoustic version of Everlong from the Foo Fighters' Skin and Bones release, Walk On by U2.

    Also, Summoning of the Muse by Dead Can Dance.

    In fact, several by Dead Can Dance, specifically songs sung by Lisa Gerrard.

    Mojo
    "A consistently good band works all the different elements well. A song has to appeal sentimentally, intellectually, physically, viscerally, and dig deep down into your soul and suck you into it. And after that, of course, it'd be a matter of taste." ~ Kim Thayil from Soundgarden

    Storm, Dead Flag Blues and Moya by Godspeed You! Black Emperor
    (pretty much the most mindblowing music I've ever heard)

    Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley

    Release by PJ
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
