To ask what song gives you goosebumps or

[thelistisendless]

Takes you back to a moment?

Mine is Barcelona by Freddie Mercury and Monsterrat Caballe

I was 6 when the Barcelona Olympics were on and I remember being stunned at how powerful this song was even at age 6. It made me stand and watch. When I hear it I still get goosebumps and can remember the moment I heard it.

This one, Try Me by UFO.

I had a real unexpected moment last week that made me sob, listening to some music from my yoof. 'A little bit of luck' by DJ Luck and MC Neat came on. I closed my eyes and was vividly transported back to the dance floor of our teenage hang out, dancing with my cousin who was my best friend in the world. Her older brother (my other cousin), dancing with us. The sobs came from the fact that said older cousin died unexpectedly almost three years ago and this vivid memory completely overwhelmed me with the realisation I'll never see him again.

Also, anything from the Lifehouse album No Name Face. Every one makes my heart pound with memories.

YY Lifehouse!!!!

Everything and Breathing both have incredibly special meanings for me

Great escape - Pink

Perfect Day, the charity version. 1997. Takes me back to the time of the one I left and shouldn't have.😢😢

Birdie - Wings
Coldplay - Sky full of scars
Both because they were played at funerals

Do They Know It's Christmas

The bells at the start send shivers down my spine. I was 14 when the Ethiopian famine happened and it's stayed with me ever since.

Days of our lives - Freddie Mercury
Wind beneath my wings- Bette Midler
Bitter sweet symphony- The Verve

Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.
Trash-suede
Singing to me in my sleep- semisonic
Soft as snow (but warm inside)- my bloody valentine.
3 libras- A perfect Circle...quite possibly the best song ever written.

Vapour trail- ride

And my wedding dances... she is love- oasis
I believe in a thing called love- the darkness.

There's loads of songs that transport me back to a time in my life.

Excellent thread.

Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello
Tranquillise by The Killers
Dust from a Distant Sun by Crowded House
Night swimming by REM

The Prettiest Eyes by The Beautiful South and Walk The Last Mile by Love And Money

Amazing Grace especially on the bagpipes

Heroes by David Bowie
D'Yer Wanna Be a Spaceman by Oasis
Dog Days Are Over by Florence + the Machine

Right here waiting - Richard Marx, especially in the intro.
Heaven - Bryan Adams
One day like this - Elbow

I'm sure there's loads more, but these immediately sprang to my mind.

Oooh Stars by Simply Red always makes me tingly after the film Jack and Sarah

So many songs give me goosebumps, mostly 90’s britpop stuff. I’m really nostalgic about music.

I agree on Annie’s Song but because I’m a Sheffield United fan and we sing a version called Greasy Chip Butty 😂

Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits. I'm immediately picturing the West Wing episode Two Cathedrals, with Jed in the church yelling at God for being such an arsehole and letting Mrs Landingham die.
It doesn't help that the friend I used to watch West Wing with has since died. She was a devout Christian and I'm still pissed off at her God for doing that.
So that music just leaves me sobbing wherever I am.

So in love by chrisette Michelle
Why her and not me by Grace Carter
Hello by Adele

Her by The Scruff. I cried my eyes out when I first heard that!!

Love of my life - Queen

And (notnsure what it’s actually called)

Tonight, we are Young
We can set the world on fire.......

I get scalp-clenching goosebumps listening to the finale of Swan Lake - in fact I just had it happen whilst typing this sentence.

Yesterday the beetles, my nans funeral song

After laughter Wendy Renee tear jerker

Barbara Streisand duck sauce song reminds me of day drinking with a friend who passed away

Caramel - John Grant (words are just beautiful and I would have had it as my wedding song if it would have been out at the time)
