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?

Just give me a reason by pink - it gives me goose bumps. When I first heard it haunted me a bit… I don’t know why as I am happily married but it spoke to me so much

Mad world and Pale Shelter - Tears for Fears

OMD - Joan of Arc

Chris De Burgh - Girl with April in her Eyes, the Tower, Just Another Poor Boy

He sang a lot of ballads

The song which says, I wasn’t expecting that at the end of each line. It’s beautiful, and heartbreaking at the same time.

Lots of brilliant songs here. I will add Rainbow Eyes by Rainbow.

I’ve just seen that someone has linked to mine. Thanks- I’m crying already.

It's Over - Roy Orbison - so sad

Love Wicked Game, but Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton and The Ghost of Sex and You by Mike and the Mechanics of all people are my real shivers songs.

Nothing compares 2 u
When doves cry
Anything by Portishead

Ciaras version of Paint It Black. I'd not long lost my mum when I first heard it, and, to me, it sums up perfectly the grief of losing a loved one. It can still make me tear up four years later.

Aw I've never met anyone else who finds that song emotional. Makes me weep every time, for family/memory reasons.

Bridge over troubled water Simon and Garfunkel. Just beautiful.

anywhere away from here rag and bone man - so poignant.

and I am telling you - cat remember artists name but favourite version was sung by young girl on X factor a few years ago she had the most amazing voice I still get goosebumps listening to it.

O Holy Night sung by Celine Dion
Streets of Philadelphia

Hazard by Richard Marx makes me cry every time
Groovy Kind of Love by Phil Collins
Too Much Love Will Kill You by Queen

Fix you. Coldplay, Sadly I could not fix my lovely DS :-(

“Somewhere a clock is ticking” Snow Patrol.

Somewhere Out There by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram. Ben by Michael Jackson.

Citizen Erased by Muse
Superstar by Luther Vandross
He's My Boy from Everybody's Talking About Jamie

Youth by Daughter.

It reminds me of the last winter we spent together before my little boy died, we would spend hours cuddled on the sofa as he was so poorly.

I can't describe in words how it makes me feel now but I often play it for some strange mix of torture/comfort.

I see another Kiwi has said, 'Glad I'm not a Kennedy' - me too!
Op Shop - One Day

But, oh, so many!

Another vote for Wicked Game.
Silent all these years - Tori Amos
Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell
Cafe del Mar - Energy 52
All the Lovers - Kylie Minogue
Talk Tonight - Oasis

Living Years - Mike and the Mechanics- not creepy but hits you in the heart

All I wanna do is make love to you by Heart gets me every time - not the music but the story the lyrics tell.

Precious Annie Lennox If I'm not mistaken she wrote it for her longed for baby

flying without wings by westlife, the first time my husband heard this he asked me to play it at his funeral, he died 5 years later he was older than me and his sibling who was a minister (my hubby was an athiest) said it was not suitable. other songs are boyz 11 men and mariah carey one sweet day. monsters james blunt and tears in heaven eric clapton.
there is lots of songs that i get shivers or tear up.
