- I love the lyrics in this song, first verse sends the shiver away down my spine.

There's a couple of songs that brought back a flood of anxious emotions for me the other day.

I stuck on Marillion's Misplaced Childhood - hadn't played it for decades and I was amazed at just how fresh it sounded - the sound engineering and production on it are top draw.

Blue Angel & Misplaced Rendezvous brought tears to my eyes!

Bit embarrassing as I was playing it to my little fella at the time but hey.

Friends and I used to take Fish's lyrics to bits in a manner similar to the way we had to dissect Shakespeare in English Lit classes at school!

Feck - 1985 - I was 16 and had a Saturday job working in a record shop - I can remember trading my wage that day to take a copy home and playing it again and again and again.

I just put it on now to play whilst writing this post and hell - I've got a massive lump in my throat again.

An amazing album which describes so much of a miserable childhood and difficult transition into adulthood where you realise those childhood problems don't end or ever really go away.

Yes...Awaken..the 15 min track taken from the 1977 LP Going For The One.

Amazing live especially with the classic Yes line up.

Good choice - I actually prefer the live 'Pompeii' version.

Keldian Momento Mori.

Listen to the lyrics it's an astoundingly enlightening and thought provoking track. With some Fantastic riffs and solo's to go with it.

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.

How about this?

I agree, In your eyes is another...

A perfect piece of acid drenched introspective psychedelia - Laughing by David Crosby

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzvylMnCe3k

The interview with the engineer is a pretty interesting read WRT to the skill level of Crosby's BVs, the additional names who contributed, the technique used to get the trippy droning melodic lead later in the song - discussed by the engineer in Mix Magazine 2005:

Also an interview with Crosby about the solo album it was taken from as discussed for Radio 4's Mastertapes series (although I've not listened to the programme):

Queen - These are the days of our lives. Especially right at the end.
Johnny cash - Hurt

[Biscuit dunker]

Sooooo many songs but one that came to mind right away:

Also, no link but every time I see afterglow by Genesis as part of a suite of oldies it always sends tingles.

[Biscuit dunker]

Sorry, just thought of my ultimate 'hair stand on end moment' - Comfortably Numb, Pink Floyd, Live8. It doesn't get any better IMHO.
