Moments in music that gave you goosebumps..
 

1:05-1:33 (The soft vocals and harmony really makes me melt every time I hear that part of the song.)

Stone Temple Pilots and Chester Bennington - Wonderful ( Live At Family Values Tour 2001 ) HD - YouTube



1:03-1:48 (When he lets the beat comes in it feels so dreamy and peaceful like nothing can go wrong from that point on. Brian Wilson would be so proud of this.)

Tears For Fears - Brian Wilson Said - YouTube

Most recent one was when I heard this song for the first time...


she found now - m b v - my bloody valentine - YouTube

No not the whole song I mean a certain moment in the song that touched you..It could be a lyric or instrument arrangement or something.

Oh right, the part where the vocal drops 25 seconds in. I was blown away!

A timeless piece from P!NK.
Never knew she had this in her and my opinion of her was immediately redefined and humbled.

Profound symbolism. Oh and flawless vocals.

You actually posted a good song :p

Not a full song ..I'm talking about a certain part of a song.

The part of this song that changes to "For a minute there, I lost myself..."


Radiohead - Karma Police - YouTube

Also since Po brought up My Bloody Valentine, the moment when listening to Loveless when To Here Knows When fades out and the first second of When You Sleep hits always gives me goosebumps, especially if I'm hearing it from good speakers on high volume.

good thread idea!

one that always gives me the chills me is the solo in Mastodon's Pendulous Skin(3:03-4:09) especially those last notes from 4:01-4:09. Hell, the whole song gives me goosebumps:



it's still my favorite guitar solo ever.

Thank you :) and thank you for posting this song..I never heard it before but I love what I'm hearing. (added it to my favorites) :D

If you like Radiohead you have to check out this beautiful solo..
1:20-1:48

Blow Out - Radiohead - YouTube

Just thought of a few more scrolling through my iPod...

Time - Pink Floyd - the guitar solo
Heroin - the Velvet Underground - when the tempo speeds up during various parts of the song
Ashes of American Flags - Wilco - can't really explain this one, but the ending lyrics and outro will give me chills if I haven't heard it in a really long time

That's it for now. If you want links to the songs I'll post them but most people have heard of the first two so I'm too lazy to copy & paste those haha.

EDIT; oh yeah I love that song too, although I've gotta say I like OK Computer far more than Pablo Honey. All great stuff though! :D

I was on LSD, but that doesn't invalidate the experience.

Oooh, let me hop on this Radiohead train.



"Because we separate, like ripples on a blank shore."

I heard 2 of those songs that you posted and love both :) but I need you to post the songs so everyone can hear how beautiful they are and don't forget to post the minute marks as well.

You gotta love Radiohead :) It took me a while to get into their music but it was worth it..You ever heard this gem?

Ah alright then. Here you go!

Wilco - Ashes Of American Flags (HD 1080p) (Lyrics) - YouTube[/SPOILER]

People listen to these now they're all great songs!! :)
Every time I listen to VU I feel like I'm in a dark factory in new york with a bunch of junkies around me "waiting for the man". lol

Haha same here, at least with the first album.
Loaded puts me in a good mood though.

Out of everything that's been posted I think Radiohead best fits the "songs to give you goosebumps" category. There's so many more of their songs I could post lol

Don't be afraid to post them :p I already like all of the songs you've posted so just keep the good ones coming and don't let me down lol..

Even though VU had one of the best debut albums of all time I still prefer White Light/White Heat over VU any day. Sister Ray is a song I can relate to on so many levels...(hooking up with trans,orgys,shooting up with my boys)
What is your favorite Radiohead album and your top 3 RH songs?

White Light/White Heat is awesome too. I can never decide my favorite VU album. I mean, the first one is probably the greatest because of its experimental sound and content, but it's not an album that I listen to often. I still love them though!

Favorite Radiohead album is definitely OK Computer. The Bends album is what got me into their music, but OK Computer still blows me away every time I listen to it start to finish. Top 3 songs is a difficult question, but at the moment I'll go with Subterranean Homesick Alien, Separator, and Just.

What about you?

Dude that album was decades ahead of it's time and the only debut album I feel is much better than VU is Piper at the gates of dawn by Pink Floyd. That pushed experiment pop music like no other..It came out the same year as Sgt. Pepper but didn't received that much attention because they were still the new kids in town... You see other albums like Pet Sounds and The Jimi Hendrix Experience which are awesome get way more shine then this..I feel like it should be mentioned with the other PF masterpieces like Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. Well anyways the same thing can be said for me The Bends is what got me into the group's music ..(that's good morning music for me and I always listen to that album before I work out turn to the album on my ipod when I'm driving to work. (starts my day off perfectly) However my all time favorite RH album has to be Kid A because I love absolutely every song on it and I have many memories of those songs with my current girlfriend. (That's the first album I turned her onto and that made her an RH fan as well.) My top 3 songs by Radiohead are ...

Radiohead - Optimistic - YouTube

Dollars & Cents - YouTube

Radiohead - India Rubber - YouTube

Yeah I agree with you there. Musically and lyrically it's easily as good - or better - than any of those albums. It's just a shame they never sold many albums or gained any of the popularity those bands had. With so many famous rock albums released those same years I feel like there wasn't a place for their music at the time, unfortunately, at least not mainstream like those other bands you mentioned :/

All those are good, my favorite of your three is India Rubber. Kid A is great, not my favorite, but I can see why it's a favorite of a lot of people. I loved their last album and they're supposed to release a new one late this year. Looking forward to that!

Other moments in songs that give me goosebumps...

I remember the first time I heard this song. 1:08 gave me chills at the part where he sings "And when she lets me slip away..."

Blur - Beetlebum - YouTube

This song is known for the extended bass intro and it feels like everything leads up to the moment at 3:00

The Cure-Fascination Street (With Lyrics) - YouTube

When the bass begins to fade in around 0:38

The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored - YouTube

I have not heard this. Thanks for sharing!

Dir en grey - Obscure [[UNCUT]] - YouTube

2:53- 3:31


thats what i like to call the silent Evil sound i love it !!!!!!!!

Andrea Bocelli every time

This song's introduction gives me goosebumps every time, it's incredible.

You're welcome it's a hidden gem..Something that I fell in love with the first listen. :)

1:20


Jeff Beck - Lilac Wine - YouTube

Sometimes I tear up a bit... like now.

It's very very silent hill-esque. No goosebumps though.



6:30! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

When I first heard these:

There are so many, but this is the greatest of them all!
From 1:32, till the end (When Gilmour kicks in, the whole audience is in goosebumps)

Ooh, Pink Floyd! I forgot...

Ian Curtis on Unknown Pleasures.

That's an awesome one. Glad you posted it.

I posted in another thread about the incredible 9/12/2006 Ditty Bops concert here in Portland OR (I'm on the road having coffee & waiting for my bus back to Seattle), but what I haven't talked about (yet, I've intended to all along) was the opening act, Austin, TX's Datri Bean.

I spent the first 5-10 minutes of the opening set fiddling with my camcorder, checking settings, so forth. Then, as I I did so, some unknown force (call it the musical gods if you want) rapped me on top of my noggin and said F*CKING LISTEN TO THIS, DUMBASS!!! That's when I forgot all about my camcorder and started paying attention to this wonderful woman on the stage.

She had a girl playing drums for her, that was it. She set up her songs, explaining in anecdotal, charming funny ways how they came to be. I utterly loved everything she did and immediately after the end of her set I litterally RAN to the merch table and bought a CD of her first album, "Slow Down Summertime" from her (she signed it for me too, I must've come off as a drooling fanboy because she was pretty clearly embarrassed).

And as much as I loved every single moment of every song, one stood out. "Big Jim's Giant Truck Stop" was written about an epiphany she had on a cross country road trip.

In the midwestern US, there are truck stops that the truckers use to freshen up, they frequently have shower stalls, restaurants, fuel stations, all that. Well, Datri finds herself in one of these establishments, she's tired, dirty, a LONG way from home, and a thought hits her like a ton of bricks...

IS THIS WHERE MY LIFE WAS HEADING????


These lyrics make me bawl nearly without fail. There was no YouTube video for this so I posted my own (I contacted Datri and received her permission to post it, we'd struck up a bit of correspondence after that Ditty Bops concert, I *couldn't* have been hard to remember...)

I remember listening to Holland 1945 for the first time within the context of the whole of ITAOTS and I got some goosebumps. Can't remember any other times.

I'd say theres been many songs that touch me on that level. I'd say Peter Gabriels [HERE COMES THE FLOOD] is one, I get this sense of dread in the lyrics and vocals. I usually am touched by something I find sad rather then joyous.

Another song that always make me melt when I hear it is...
It's usually the outro's that does it for me..
3:23 - 4:11

My Last Chance - Marvin Gaye - YouTube

that moment at around 3:00, dayum



This song reminds me of being a kid



"One day I'm gonna lose the war" =/
