Powerful songs that just send shivers down your back

[Fingers]

[chuckywang]

The only song that completely scared me when I first heard it was:

The Beatles - Day In The Life

The "musical orgasm" part freaked me out.

Hanzel Und Gretyl - Third Reich From The Sun
Hanzel Und Gretyl - Ich Bin Uber Alles

 

[quakefiend420]

metallica - fade to black
pantera - suicide note part 1
led zeppelin - goin to california(well not really one that makes you shiver but one of my favorite songs anyway

 

[Schrodinger]

Mazzy Star - Fade Into You

When I'm thinking about my girl

Edit: Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's "Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" is good too.

Bad Company - Gone, Gone, Gone
Paul Rogers tears me up with this shyt.

Well, I been havin a litlle trouble lord
But I'm keepin it together yeah
My baby just walked out the doors
She said this time forever

It ain't the first time baby
Baby it wont be the last
I'd better get the boys round
And do some drinkin fast

Cause she's gone, gone, gone
I dont know if I'm happy
I don't know if I'm sad
She's gone gone gone
I dont know if i'll cry
I dont know if I'll die laughin

Well I'm gonna miss your lovin
And your perfume and your smile
I'm gonna miss your stealin all my booze
And talkin all the while
I'm gonna miss you cleanin round the home
And helpin with my blues
You know I think I'll get myself a maid
And take her on a cruise

It ain't the first time baby
Baby it wont be the last
I'd better get the boys round
And do some drinkin fast

Cause she's gone gone gone
AI dont know if I'm happy
I don't know if I'm sad
She's gone gone gone
I dont know if I'll cry
I dont know if I'll die laughin

It ain't the first time baby
Baby it wont be the last
I'd better get the boys round
And do some drinkin fast
Cause she's gone gone gone
I dont know if I'm happy
I don't know if I'm sad
She's gone gone gone
I dont know if I'll cry
I dont know if I'll die laughin

Alice in Chains - Heaven Beside You
Alice in Chains - Over Now

...and what Aphex posted :thumbsup: (I just got done listening to #9...)
