Songs that give you goosebumps

[4mula1]

Immortality by Pearl Jam from my Live at Soldier Field bootleg gets me every time. I was at that show and that is the only track that really pulls all the memories back from that day.

The "Ticketmaster sucks!" chant was pretty cool, too!

Off the top of my head:

Mary Gauthier - I Drink
Peter Hammill - A Way Out
Peter Gabriel - Lay Your Hands on Me
Neil Young - The Needle and the Damage Done
CSNY - Ohio
The Residents - Caring

As much for the lyrics as the vocals... though most of these songs are completely uncoverable: there is no point in trying to cover Ohio, for example, not even a point to trying to recapture that song.

Anything from Amon Tobin, but especially "Foley Room". On youtube:

Bloodstone: watch?v=ZUHqFg-F5ts
Esther's: watch?v=Ru46QPzWvlQ

Every time I hear Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work" I get a chill when she first sings the lines "I know you have a little life in you yet. I know you have a lot of strength left." Even when I brace myself for it... still happens.

There are a few very good covers of this, one by a guy named Maxwell and another by Sally Anthony. Worth checking out.

For me:

Faithless - Insomnia
Springsteen - The River
Springsteen - Blood Brothers
Simple Minds - Don't Your Forget About Me
Don Henley - The Boys of Summer
The Connells - 74/75
Counting Crows - Mr Jones
The Beatles / Sean Connery - the lyrics to this are beautiful
