Songs that give you shivers

[Thenightwemet16]

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?

The Waterboys do a great version of How long Will I Love You.

Harvest moon

Space by Biffy Clyro. Particularly the orchestral version. Beautiful and haunting in equal measures.

Goddess on a Hiway by Mercury Rev

Wish you were here was one that my boyfriend refused to listen to after we split up as he had introduced me to Pink Floyd. It's such a beautiful melody but the lyrics are genius. I can't listen to that song anymore.

I've got this one earmarked for my funeral. If they don't cry for me, they'll cry for the song.

Somewhere only we know (Keane)
Don't fear the reaper (BOC)
Backstreets (Springsteen)
Barcelona (Freddie/Montserrat Caballe)

Stay by Rihanna. It reminds me of when my Uncle was in a coma and I was so desperate for him to wake up because I never said thank you for buying me salt to sprinkle over my metal steps in the frost. Love you Jim x

Beautiful south- a little Time

The story by brandi carlile. I've just discovered her and I'm obsessed. I think that sometimes you discover an artist just when you need what they're offering and that's certainly the case for me with BC. Also right on time by the same artist.

Alexa misheard me when i was listening to spotify and offered me a song called In Dreams by someone called Jai-Jagdeesh recently and it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

Blackbird by Alter Bridge gives me shivers. Such a powerful song.

True Colours- Cyndi Lauper
Love and Affection- Joan Armatrading
Songbird- Eva Cassidy

I Can by Chronixx
Optimistic by Sounds of Blackness
Save Me by Sean C Johnson

Not expecting anyone to know these but yes all the tears and streaming bogey when I listen to these

My Immortal by Evanesence
Love song for a vampire by Annie Lennox
In a lifetime by Bono and Clannad
Only time by Enya
Drive by The Cars
I'm not in love by 10cc

Forgot to mention pink Floyd- comfortably numb and us and Them

I agree! Also Sinead O'Connor Nothing Compares, and The Green Fields of France by Finbar Furey.

I Get Along Without You Very Well - especially the Chet Baker version. One of the saddest love songs ever written.

Aubrey - Bread
orchard road - Leo Sayer

Amoureuse by Kiki Dee
Susan's House by Eels

Some great ones on here…

Also - More Than This - Roxy Music
17 Going Under - Sam Fender
Books from Boxes - Maximo Park

There is something about the chord changes in that song which have a visceral effect on me. It also invokes a nostalgia feeling as I used to sing it aged 5 in my nana's front room!

Leonard Cohen; Suzanne. Leo Sayer; The Dancer.

The Wind Cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix

I was thinking the same -very creepy

Oh yes, that's a beaut.

Disturbed - The sound of silence

Hozier - Take me to church
