Songs that make you hairs stand on end...

Just heard this one the radio and thought of this thread. That piano. So simple...

Depends on mood, but for some reason, tonight I am really, really feeling the doom metal vibe, to the point it's almost meditative.

Not for everyone, but that's hitting me like a tonne of bricks at the moment.

That's good, but this is better

Scott Walker - Farmer in the city

Could list hundreds but a few off the top of my head:

Dry the River - Weights and Measures (specifically from 1:20 to 2:05)

Dry the River - No Rest

Pearl Jam - Come Back (Live at Arena di Verona)

Pearl Jam - Porch (unplugged)

Foo Fighters - Walk - (specifically from 3:17 to 4:20 - ace in the gym)

Pink Floyd - Breathe - always reminds me of floating on a lilo

Zooey Deschanel - Tonight you belong to me ('cos I want her to sing it to me )

Here's a weird one. Polish singer called Czesław Niemen. Even though I don't really understand the words, it has an effect on me, which is a reflection on the power of music I think. It's a stunning song. Czesław Niemen - Dziwny jest ten świat

Not a song as such but definitely makes the hairs stand up

...and not forgetting our very own

Agreed. I like it too.

Evanescence - My Immortal

Ludovico Einaudi - Divenire

Dire Straits - Telegraph Road

To name but a few!

I agree.
Don't even have the song on my iPod, but when I hear it.....funny how some music can strike a nerve.

Was going to post this. Brilliant song .. To me it's powerful and emotional.. every time it reduces me to tears!

Another is My Chemical Romance - Cancer

Newton Faulkner recorded an amazing version of Teardrop - in a lift. Playing all 4 parts (vocal, percussion, left hand strings, right hand strings). Sometimes I think I'd like to take up guitar playing, then I see playing like that and know that I could never even attempt it.

It is amazing how artists who are perhaps total tossers, or have a pink and fluffy image can make stunning music which really provokes strong emotions. Morrissey is one, but Elton John is another. Song for Guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXgfAXy6Qws

New Order - Elegia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LY3ftiLqmE

Duran Duran - Ordinary World (acoustic): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTtusl2ShY4

I remember first hearing Abba's Visitors as a kid and hearing the emotions come through. I sometimes wonder if younger people (hark at the old giffer here) who haven't lived through the cold war understand the meaning of some of the 70s/80s music.

The one guaranteed to make the room dusty is REM's Everybody Hurts, but that doesn't get the hairs on the back of my neck to stand up.

Pink Floyd - When The Tigers Broke Free - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKfwwlEcowk - This video is a bit poignant too...maybe its the motes of dust floating around in my office?

A lot of Roger Waters' stuff makes my hairs stand on end. He just has a way with sounds and lyrics.

A few more Floyd while Im here:

Cluster One - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRqrpfzpTaA - So relaxing, not a hard note in the entire song. Flows wonderfully

Echoes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KMpZaEF6g0 - I love the lyrics in this song, first verse sends the shiver away down my spine.
