The song that sends a chill down your spine:

"this is usually a really long song, but we're going to play it kind of slow tonight"
Southern Man - live version off of CSNY Deja Vu

I know it is not the best, but I just absolutely, 100% love the guitar work they do in that song.
It honestly does send chills thru my whole body....

Lots of great music send a chill down my spine, make my neckhairs erect and puts a tear or twenty in my eyes....

Wings - Mull Of Kintyre Do that to me,
and
Willie Nelson - Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain
and
The Beatles do that do me with many songs

Johnny Cash certainly... (live @ san quentin)

Certain WHO albums and videos (damn, i cant get enough keith moon!!!? what a character! amazing!)

Judas Priest/Rob Halford, Steely Dan, Mary Black, Rainbow (Temple Of The King, damn, can you really turn the volume up LOUD ENOUGH on that song?? even eleven aint enough on that one.. same with "catch the rainbow)...

I`m easily "touched" by music... thats why I love music so much.. It can be a melody, lyrics.. dual lead gitars etc... awesome RIFFS... I have no problem admit i`m a musicaholic and that certain music makes me behave in a way I prefer to not display to just anyone :) thats what late night listening are for (after the family "have left the building") ;)
:banana:

I have a couple of Telarc reordings of this on CD. When I have the Altecs running loud, there is no substitute. The goosebumps start at the top of my head and run straight down my back.

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald has never given me chills. I can either listen and appreciate, or just cry. I've never actually heard this song on a good system and I'm not sure I want to.
 
Luciano Pavarotti - Ava Maria - play it at Christmas - cranked - fortunate to see him before he passed - I am not an opera fan by any means - but Luciano had a set of pipes!!
 
OK Guys, the original thread was 'Sings that send shivers up your spine...' And certainly my list devolved into simply "Songs I just adore"....

Back on track guys. Let's aim at songs that stop you in your tracks and bring you too your knees.... Absolutely no Yoko Ono. Also, if you can, tell us why...

My short list:

Joe Jackson -
Slow Song (The mornful wail just exhaustion and need, just nails me)

Pink Floyd -
Comfortably Numb ( The feeling in my soul while healing from the death of my wife )

Mike and the Mechanics -
"In the Living Years" (Good one ugornot, I adore my father and the thought of losing him...)

Simon & Garfunkle -
The Boxer (Brilliant poetry that I can sing... and well too)

Tennesee Earnie Ford -
Oh Holy Night (his is the definitive version)

Joe Jackson -
Slow Song (reminds me of my wife, now dead)

Paul Gross -
Robert MacKenzie
(I remember Paul's heart wrenching description of the final minute of the Robert MacKenzie as it floundered on Six Fathom Shoal (seporate from the song) and the refrain: 32 down on the Robert Mackenzie)
