Let Down, Exit Music (For A Film), No Surprises, Lucky and perhaps The Tourist all have this uncanny ability to send shivers down my spine.
Not only that, they also have that emotional discharge effect, you just free yourself from everything that's troubling you and gaze into infinity, it's quite magic.
