Songs that give you shivers

In a reflective/contemplative mood and would like some music to match...

Currently listening to The Night We Met by Lord Huron on repeat and it is suitably giving me the feels.

Appreciate that some songs will have individual emotional associations, but what are your favourite haunting songs that transcend that and give you shivers regardless?

How Long Will I Love you has me in pieces! An Irish guy songs it as well I think.
Also that song about his wife dying of cancer breaks my heart. If anyone can remember it please remind me.

Can't remember who it's by but I'm sure the title is 'I wasn't expecting that '....?
