The song that sends a chill down your spine:

"Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" from Yellow Brick Road by Elton John.

YES! :music: Ever since I was a boy, this one gave me the chills.

Actually, I have a soft spot for Elton John, and practically EVERY TRACK on his "Elton John" album from 1970 gives me the chills. Not only the recording quality is excellent, but the music...ohh the sadness of it :tears:. Listen to "Border song" (the part where the drums and the vocals kick in) - it is absolutely genius.

Listen to "I need you to turn to", and you'll understand why BS :bs:(Britney Spears) will never be Elton John, although they often compete for the same spot on the evening news :p:.

"Fade into You" - Mazzy Star. Even though it's relatively recent it has an aura of the depressing side of the 60's.

Great song, great band! I think Mazzy Star will be in the CD player tonite :thmbsp:

I thought of one of my own... Joe Satriani's Always With Me, Always With You. That one I never got down "just right" even when I could play well :no: Awesome instrumental song :thmbsp:

The guitar solo in Rush's Limelight still does it for me. Comfortably Numb comes in at a close second.

Long time Rush fans will recognize Lifeson's feedback/harmonics solo during By-Tor and the Snow-Dog off their first double live album All The World's a Stage as a spine tingler. It's trippy, to say the least!

A lot of Rush's stuff is amazing, Neil Peart is my second favorite drummer behind Carter Beauford from Dave Matthews Band.

Alex Lifeson ain't a shabby guitar player either :music:
 
Interesting Thread

I have two:

John Coltrane's "Naima" as performed by Cal Tjader and "Chocolate Fog" by Andy Narell. They both some kind of deep, almost maudlin emotion in me. I can listen to both for hours on end. :music:
 
LIghtfoot and Edmund Fitzgerald
When the waves
Turn the minutes
To hours.

Been there, done that, got the medal. You're running on a different time schedule than the rest of the world and you are very alive.

And on a brighter note:
Carly Simon..Come Upstairs...gives me some pleasant tingles..p

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgeral ~ Gordon Lightfoot. The music is haunting, echos, and strikes deep. And the tale followed me across many oceans in my Navy career.

The imagery in this song is what gets me, The line "does anyone know where the love of god goes whan the waves turn the minutes to hours" If you have ever been at sea in a wild storm. You will understand.

Additionally, when he sings of the cook coming on deck and tellin 'em "its to rough to feed ya" You can just picture the ol' cook sayin that with despair in his eyes.

I love this song, also follows me throughout my sailing in the Navy. :music:
 
There really WAS a guy named "Edmund Fitzgerald"-and IIRC, he was alive when the boat sank & when the song came out like 18 months later...I wonder what HE thought about all of it...THAT would be weird, having a boat named after you, having that awful tragedy, & then having a hit song made about it...
 
Another one that "does it" for me-and has all my life- is "I Can't Get Started" by Bunny Berigan, from 1936.

From the "Poet Laureate of the 2oth Century", Mr. Zimmerman's "BALLAD OF A THIN MAN".
You raise up your head
And you ask, "Is this where it is?"
And somebody points to you and says
"It's his"
And you say, "What's mine?"
And somebody else says, "Where what is?"
And you say, "Oh my God
Am I here all alone?"

Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?

And Johnny Winter version of Highway 61

"God said Abraham kill me a son
Abe said man you must be puttin' me on
God said no
And Abe said what
God said you can do what you want Abe but now
Next time you see the coming man you got to run
Abe said where you want this killing done
God said Out On Highway 61"

Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Saw them in concert in the late 70's about a month before the plane crash. Still haunts me...

Uriah
 
There are quite a few Pat Metheny Group songs that I can listen to again and again and they still have this same effect on me.

One I'm listining to right now is Tell It All from First Circle. Whenever I audition new gear, I have to hear this song. First of the three most Brizilian influenced Metheny -First Circle, Still Life Talking and Letter From Home.

If I'm stuck on an island I better be able to play these :tresbon:

One that's not in my usual genre is Barbra Allen by Simon and Garfunkel. It was never released and is on the CBS Box Set. It think the Everly Brothers did it too. Beautiful folk song done by the best in their prime.
