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.

Slow Motion Suicide - Ferocious Dog- espicially the instrumental at the end sends shivers down my spine.

Geno - Dexys Midnight Runners takes me immediately back to being a teenager realising music is the heartbeat of life.

Most of fairport convention

If I Should Fall Behind by Bruce Springsteen.

Papa Don't Preach by Madonna - especially along with the video. It makes me cry.

The Circle Game by Joni Mitchell.

The Grass Is Blue by Dolly Parton.

PS You Rock My World by Eels.

Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac.

And Days Of Our Lives by Queen. Poor Freddie 

Purple Rain
Has to up loud

Thought of another:
Don't take away my music by the Tavares, from my era but the words are lovely and music has indeed always been the one thing lve got when all else has gone. Love my music.

Mael Susan Boyle? Really?!

The initial audition? Hell, yeah!

Thank you Ozzy for posting the video! The songs of Nick Drake are so fragile and lovely. I wish more people knew of his talent. He was a beautiful soul

Oh guys I’m so glad I started this thread

There are some belters on here

A thousand years - piano guys

It was my walking down the aisle song and it was the last song my husband and I danced to at our wedding. Just makes me feel such an abundance of love for him every time I hear it

Scorpions - Wind of Change (reminds me of the fall of the Berlin Wall)
Gerry Marsden - YNWA (think I'm the third to mention it. Still gets me)
Proclaimers - Cap in Hand

I Find Your Love by Beth Nielsen Chapman

Singing You Through by All Angels

Oddly for me, one song that gives me goosebumps is Will Smith - Will2k

Also:
The Other Woman - Nina Simone
All The Ways You Wander - John Spillane
Fake Plastic Tree - Radiohead
Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime - Beck

This

You can let go now daddy.

The Fear - Lily Allen

Sweet thing can morrison

Nantes- Beirut. The line “it’s been a long time, long time since I’ve seen you smile....” is particularly meaningful as I first heard it when someone very special to me sent me it at a very low point in my life.

I love the song so much. I plan to play it at my wedding should I ever have one.

Another one is Auld Lang Syne played on the bagpipes. We had it playing at my grandmother’s funeral and I always end up sobbing. I don’t even like bagpipes that much at all but that totally gets to me.

Count on me by Whitney Houston and CeCe Winans
Reflection by Christina Aguilera

Both remind me of a friend who isn't a friend any more. We had a very close and very intense friendship.

The hymn How Great Thou Art makes me cry every time. It reminds me of my Nan.

Somebody to Love by Queen just gets me. For no specific reason.

I’m from further North than you - Wedding Present
Missing - Everything but the Girl
I would die 4 U - Prince
Sorrow - Bowie

Oh yes and Never Went to Church by The Streets. Such a raw, honest song.

Live Twice - Darius
Vincent - Don McLean

I'll get along without you very well. By Nina Simone. I listened to this a lot last year during a very difficult time. Haunting.

There are loads that give me goosebumps, some already mentioned like ‘tears in heaven’ - Eric Clapton and ‘in the living years’ - Mike and the mechanics. ‘Dance with my father’ - Luther Vandross and ‘all
my life’ - K-Ci and JoJo are another couple of tearjerkers.

Paul Young’s ‘love of the common people’ gets me with “daddy’s going to buy you a dream to cling to, mama’s going to love you just as much as she can”.

Katy Perry’s ‘one that got away’ is another one. Her version does nothing for me, but there’s a version by May arcade on YouTube that I think is just lovely.

More recently Lily Allen’s ‘Three’ has had me sobbing, and Arctic Monkeys’ ‘one for the road’ was played at a friend’s funeral and will always give me goosebumps.

Also got goosebumps at Glastonbury 2016 to Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott doing ‘caravan of love’ after the brexit vote. That might have been the vodka though.

Last one I can think of is Sebastian Tellier, ‘la ritournelle’. Gorgeous piece of music.

Sorry, got a bit carried away . Loving this thread and I’m off to youtube the ones I don’t know

Queen - All Dead, All Dead

Lost a pet anytime...? This is for you
