Songs that truely give you gooseybumps

Nice song twizzle, beautiful string section and I can understand why it gives you goosebumps.

This song always gives me goosebumps, (it really does) every time I hear it but I have no idea why as it is a stupid song. Maybe it's because it's from the 80's and reminds me of times long gone.

Wiping your snot on the arm of a chair ain't exactly conducive to gooseybumps

Vangelis - The Bounty (Opening Theme)

Cocteau Twins - Alice

In hundreds of years time people will finally realise how utterly unique Elizabeth Fraser was in the 1980/90s .

Chariots of fire


Vangelis is class!

I'm well aware it's a cover version Mac but fits the tune much better & prefer the sad tone of it to the original, it's a completely different vibe

also a great little video to go along with it , one of my fav tunes

Josh Groban singing I Believe..wonderful vocals and orchestral sounds..give your lugs a treat and have a listen




He also sang a solo on the recording of We Are The World 25 for Haiti (2010). Inspired by a visit with Nelson Mandela during a 2004 trip to South Africa, he established the Josh Groban Foundation to help children in need through education, healthcare and the arts. Mandela appointed Groban as an Official Ambassador for Mandela's Project 46664, a campaign to help raise Global awareness of HIV/AIDS in Africa



^. Guess this puts you right off him now  -,eh twazzle .....?

The Blower's  Daughter - by Damien Rice

A beautiful, beautiful song. He always sings with such conviction and passion.

The film Closer is good too.

Pachelbels's canon in d major. I arranged a string quartet to play it as my wife walked down the aisle on our wedding day.

Spanish Sahara by Foals - the way it builds to a crescendo. Magnificent song:

Good call on Elizabeth Frazer, attitude adjuster.

Any track off the Cocteaus' Treasure fills the room with ghosts from the time of that LP, as does Song To the Siren.

lfc1971...ya big copycat.

I remember seeing the Cocteaus mid 80`s i`d guess, great night.

Great song, brilliant version, a poem by Shel Silverstein and put to music by (It's said by )Dr Hook in 1975 4 years before MF's brilliant version, Dr hook made a fair fist of it, and the vocalist on their version Dennis Locorriere had great feeling for the song, the studio version or a later live version worth a listen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0KsK-Ftzpg

^^^^^^^The Ballad of Lucy J
