Songs that give you chills.

[DarkSovereignty]

Dream On by Steve tyler (or Aerosmith, though Tyler wrote it). song gives me chills every time. it's just so powerful, not to mention that man's voice defies the laws of physics.

 

[Project862006]

Final Fantasy VII - One Winged Angel


personification of Evil this theme represents song gives me the creeps!!

 

[maenalus]

Sky Pilot - Eric Burden & the Animals

 

[Spider-Who?]

It's totally not my typical style of music, but I've recently heard "Africa" by Toto and Seals "kiss from a Rose" again after many years. Both songs make the hair on my arms stand up. The harmony in the chorus to Africa is stellar, and I just dig the vibe to Kiss from a rose.

[Mandalore464]

OK, one song everybody should just try and listen to if they don't know it :

I'm a big 80s music and film music nut, so a lot of them send shivers down my spine but I'm not actually gonna bother making a list of them all.

Best song ever made :

God is an Astronaut - Suicide by Star.

I'm serious. Find the highest quality version out there, close your eyes, imagine yourself floating in space, play the track. You'll never come back from it.

The Alan Parsons Project - Old and Wise
The Arcade Fire - Cold Wind
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
NIN - The Day the Whole World Went Away
NIN - The Great Below
NIN - Ruiner
NIN - Beside You In Time


Also, a lot of songs that were part of movie soundtracks, whether they were actually created for the film or just used in it, like :

Moby - God Moving Over the Face of the Water (from Heat finale)
Lisa Gerrard and Hans Zimmer - Now we are free (from Gladiator)
Tyler Bates - Returns a King (from 300)
Clint Mansell - Death is the Road to Awe (from The Fountain)

and more recently :

Desire - Under Your Spell
College feat. Electric Youth - A Real Hero
Chromatics - Tick of the Clock

all from Drive

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Philip Glass- Prophecies


[YT]zsOPR9659Ww[/YT]

Epic.

It's just a shame the song is so long, it's hard to find it in its complete form online. The above clip is ten minutes, but only encompasses about half of it.

 

[Mandalore464]

Koyaanisqatsi is a great film for anyone who likes the association of music and pictures, the whole soundtrack is amazing, but Prophecies definitely is one of its highlights.

I couldn't help but notice we have a lot of songs we like in common JJJ's Ulcer (Paranoid Android, Stan, Bliss, Cash's Hurt and A Perfect Circle's Imagine, plus Moby's God Moving... which I already mentioned, and now Prophecies)

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Great minds think alike.

To your NIN list, I'd also add 'Right where it belongs', which is very somber and haunting.

 

[iunic]

indeed, you can't leave that one out

[SpideyInATree]

A Warm Place by NINE INCH NAILS

Definitely. I bought Downward Spiral when it first came out and to this day that song ALWAYS sends shivers up my spine. Such a great instrumental!
