Unchained Melody.

I only get real goosebumps from a song with some dynamics.

Hitting the crescendo in the long drawn-out America the Beautiful we used to do in band got me every time.

Other example I can remember off the top of my head, after listening to Dark Side of the Moon all the way through, Eclipse sometimes gets me if it's cranked.

They play taps on most Army installations at 10pm every night. If you're lying in bed with your windows open, it always sends chills down your spine thinking of all the people that song has been played for.

Likewise, if you ever have the opportunity to attend a military funeral, you should. The final roll call followed by taps will turn the hardest human into emotional mush.

Besides Taps, here's the rest of mine:

Amazing Grace, bagpipes
Pearl Jam, Jeremy
Billy Joel, Goodnight Saigon
SGT Barry Sadler, Ballad of the Green Beret
Hymn to the Fallen (Saving Private Ryan theme), John Williams
Duel of the Fates, John Williams
What a Wonderful World, Louis Armstrong
The Lady in Red, Chris de Burgh
 
Garth Brooks - The Dance

has a world of meaning, and just about anybody that's lost something or someone they loved can identify with this song. Probably some of his other songs too, many of them have a strong message/meaning as well.

Also I'll agree with a couple other posters on More than Words - Extreme, & Black - Pearl Jam

Maurice Ravel's Bolero.

It has to be a good recording. If so, it floors me everytime. THere are definitely far greater pieces, as this one is highly repetetive etc, but at high volume, I stand in awe of its majesty....

I am truely caught off guard everytime I hear it....I stop what I am doing, or if driving, lay off the gas, and just let it all in....during the "precession," I swear I can hear the elephants camels, and the king's chariot roll by...😀
