I forgot 10,000 Days. Amazing song.

Ohh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down
without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun
other than tremble incessantly?


EDIT: OH I almost forgot... The Highwayman by Loreena Mckennitt.

I am not much of a country/western fan, but:
Midnight in Montgomery by Alan Jackson.

Way too many to name. Adagio for Strings is a popular one. Can't forget Beethoven's Symphony 9. Surprisingly Everytime by Britney Spears sends chills down my spine.

haha, that was one of my first thoughts as well. Seriously though I love music so much that there are hundreds, if not thousands of songs that can give me goosebumps, chills, etc.

Listening to Dark Side of the Moon all the way through (has to be the full album) and then hitting the crescendo where "Eclipse" kicks in, that does it every time. Sometimes it's like 90 full seconds of chills/goosebumps, I feel dirty afterwards :laugh:

There was an arrangment of America the Beautiful that we played in high school band that lit me up too, heh. Hairs standing on end and everything, every single time we hit the big crescendo leading into the end.

Sunshower from Chris Cornell, that's another pretty powerful song.

and Civil War by Guns n' Roses used to do it for me... not so much anymore but the lyrics are still genius.

Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley :)
