The song that sends a chill down your spine:

The two that really do it for me are The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and In the Year 2525.

I havent heard of them when did they play and was it the same Hallelujah as sung by Lenord Cohan?

No, its a different song, actually titled "Allelujah" now that I've pulled out the CD.

Fairground Attraction were a late 80s, mostly acoustic (they used a guitarrón instead of electric bass) British band, that only managed one studio album before breaking up. They had some hit singles in the UK, but were rather unknown in the states. Singer Eddi Reader went on to a solo career, and songwriter/guitarist Mark E. Nevin became a Morrissey sideman. Besides the one studio album The First of a Million Kisses, there's a B-side collection Aye Fond Kiss and a live album Kawasaki: Live In Japan 02.07.89 which includes several songs they had prepared for a second album that was never recorded. There's also far too many, all quite unnecessary, greatest hits collections.

The lights on the westway go on
A million cars hurry home
An ice cream van shuts off its tinsel bells
Winter won’t be long

I see you every day
I watch as you walk down this way
We pass on the stairs of this council block
Too shy to find words to say

But your smile is a prayer that prays for love
And your heart is a kite that longs to fly
Allelujah here I am
Let’s cut the strings tonight

So meet me on the corner at eight
Let’s get out of this place
We’ll kiss the first of a million kisses
And let the past fall away

'Cause your smile is a prayer that prays for love
And your heart is a kite that longs to fly
Allelujah here I am
Let’s cut the strings tonight

Neko Case - Twist the knife
one of the strongest female voices in the biz today...simply an amazingly perfect song.

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!

Oh yeah. Rush's finest among a huge collection of very, very fine.

Great bass solo during Lifeson's enigmatic solo as well.
 
I gotta go with "Ave Maria" sung by Pavarotti and "Like To Get To Know You", by Spanky and Our Gang, particularly the ending refrain.

And for reasons I cannot possibly explain:

Foreigner - Juke Box Hero - "Standing in the rain... With his head hung low..."

I've perminently given up figuring out how my sub-conscience works.

x2 on Juke Box Hero. I thought I was the only person in the world that got chills from that song. I've actually gotten choked up a little when it came on the radio while driving. "Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day...".

Weird, huh?

Also, Pink Floyd's Eclipse I find to be very moving. I'm pretty sure I want it played at my funeral.

And strangely, Doc Watson's Tennesse Stud gives me chills. I remember being about 10 years old and me and my Grandpa are in his garage messing around and listening to his Doc Watson records.

I remember Tennesse Stud coming on and always giving me the chills. Something about that chord progression is just haunting, and a horse the color of the sun with green eyes is quite a picture for a kid to imagine. That song has always stuck with me and I guess it always will.

Music elicits such an emotional response. I can't imagine living without it. :music:
 
Since I've been loving you by Led Zepp......Specifically the live version on How the West was Won. There was a bootleg version that was WAY better a friend of mine used to have....don't remember when or where that was recorded but i get a little chub just thinking about.
 
This is really a tough one but I have to go with "Have A Cigar" by Pink Floyd. I listen to much harder music normally but that song has always freaked me out.
