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?

All Fix you reminds me of is Gavin and Stacey.

That’s No Way to Say Goodbye. by Leonard Cohen

It was played at my friend’s funeral, which I had to attend by streaming, during lockdown. We used to listen to Leonard Cohen lots when we shared a flat at university

l loved you in the morning
Your kisses soft and warm
Your hair upon the pillow
Like a sleepy golden storm………

Another vote for Into the West, Annie Lennox.

Actually VERY SUPRISED now one has mentioned 'youll never walk alone'. Uplifting yet sad at the same time. As well as the association with Hillsborough and Covid 19. Prefer Dropkick Murphys version, which they did in response to the opioid epidemic in USA.

David Sylvian is one of my favorite singer/songwriters so most of his songs give me shivers, in a good way.

I was 14 when I heard "Brilliant Trees" for the first time and I had never been so moved by a song before that one. It still shocks me that a 26-year-old could write such a beautiful piece of music.

My second favorite of Sylvian's is "Orpheus". I honestly cannot listen to the song if I'm doing anything else. I will actually gasp when it comes on and I feel it commands all my attention to listen. The vocals are gorgeous and lush and the music it just takes me to some other place.
