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?

Louis Capaldi - Someone You Loved. It was being played everywhere the year I had my beautiful, beautiful, dear old dog put to sleep. She had been with me through everything. I have to turn it off if it comes on the radio.

I don’t even like Louis Capaldi.

That's a great song but what about Bridge by them. That on always gets me as it's such a true personal story about the dad wanting to reconnect after decades of walking out.

Same but for a different 'end of an era/life will never be the same' reason.

There's so many on this thread that in desperate to check out. But I'm away from steady WiFi/streaming at the moment, so will have to wait until I'm home and can find an evening to myself

I was going through a very difficult period in regards to my health and at my lowest, Mad Love by Mabel was playing on the radio after hearing about my diagnosis.

Whenever I hear it now (I’m fine now), I just shudder

I had been with my late DP six weeks when his illness was diagnosed... This song came on the radio as we were driving home from the hospital... I turned it off. Can't listen to it now without feeling 😪😚

Can't remember the title of the song, bit it was by Baby-face and features Stevie Wonder. Song is about domestic violence and implies this woman was killed by her husband. On the video, she kills him. "How come how long? Not right, so wrong". In 1997
