I get goose bumps when listening to Mahler.

The equipment used for play back doesn't matter, but live music for me is the best for the bumps.

I bet most all the people on this forum have music selections that give them the bumps.

Please share.

I also bet we all have different music favorits.

I just don't get goosebumps I also get moved to tears.

This one always makes me tear up a little !:biggrin:

```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

I'm sitting alone on a Saturday night, watching the late, late show
A bottle of wine, some cigarettes, I got no place to go
Well I saw your other man today, he was wearing my brand new shoes
And I'm down to seeds and stems again too

Well I met my old friend Bob today, from up in Bowling Green
He had the prettiest little gal, that I'd ever seen
But I couldn't hide my tears at all, 'cause she looked just like you
And I'm down to seeds and stems again too

Now everybody tells me, that there's other ways to get high
They don't seem to understand, I'm too far gone to try
Now these lonely memories, there all that I can do
And I'm down to seeds and stems again too

Oh, my dog died just yesterday, left me all alone
The finance company dropped by today, and repossessed my home
That's just a drop in the bucket, compared to losing you
And I'm down to seeds and stems again too
Got the down to seeds and stems again blues

Funny you should ask this.

I just went to test a cd changer and put in a cd I just bought at a goodwill or thrift store this past week or two.

Etta James Live with the Riots I think., "Burnin down the house".

I was blown away by what I was hearing out of my newly aquired Polk monitor 5's.

Well, when the song "All the way down" started playing I thought ok, jungle sounds kindof but it quickly turned into something palatable. I started to rock my head and then my shoulders and then the rest of my body started moving on it's own. I noticed I had goose bumps on my head and neck and shoulders too.
Wierd.

Few songs do that to me...seriously. I don't dance!!!

So I know I get goose bumps from Celine Dions' "O holy night" almost everytime without fail.

A couple of girl singers from those Cough COUGH talet shows have done it to. But I have my sound system on when those shows are on just incase I want to hear what they could sound like on a home system. Some were quite moving. That little tiny girl was one I remember well.

No tears yet but my wife makes up for my share..!

I like a little Gustav myself from time to time but.......Dicky W. gives me the chills with this one !! (it's the horns)

A sure goose bump release for me is watching the beach invasion scene from Apocolypse Now movie as they play the Ride of the Valkyries.

In the comments section of the article someone called the chills "Skin Orgasms".

Is there a support group we can join ?..:redface:

We'll also call on Bikezappa to take care of them in his own chill bump way.

Pycroft

I get goosebumps when I hear classical music that I have performed before because it helps me remember what it was like to perform it. Two pieces that are particularly moving for me - Beethoven Missa Solemnis Gloria movement...the finale that repeats the opening theme of the movement, but much faster. The second is the Soprano solo in the Brahms Requiem. Goosebumps everytime

One of my mom's collection played; we were poor as hell but had an old Fisher console....good times. Now I have her collection and several of which I still get goosebumps when played ....don't know if was the memory of simple times or the music....but I still love it

Damit Ben, did you have to post that??

I hadn't heard that in a very long time. It has to be one of the saddest songs ever recorded.

Thanks, I think!!

Makes you think about things we take for granted.

my first 'bumps' was from 1967, I was a wee lad, and a '57 Ferrari Testarossa fired up on the track...... Piloerection's all over my body :biggrin: six two barrel carbs sucking air and fuel into a tiny little V12 jewel, when the driver blipped the throttle, I passed out, my Pa had to throw some ice T on me,,,we talkin' about music?

I get the grins :biggrin: in my house often, MartinLogans can do that special trick to make your jaw drop.....Live shows always give me the 'bumps', Jason Mraz comes to mind recently, back in the old days I was too high to remember.....

starkiller

I seem to always get the "bumps" when playing Juno Reactor's "Control". In a couple of spots the synthesizer I guess it is does a run of about 20-30 notes from high to low and it just sends chills up the spine...weird I know but there it is:biggrin:

Happens all the time with me, numerous pieces of music, all of which are important to me some way or another. My wife gets it too. She calls it the **** of the song.

Fongolio

I had the goose bumps last night watching Roger Waters perform The Wall live. I was moved to tears when he played Vera Lynn and they showed video of soldiers returning home to their families on the Wall. Extraordinarily moving. Vera Lynn segued into Bring The Boys Back Home and I was almost balling.

Fongolio

Eva Cassidy can make me very misty as well.

Saw Zappa Plays Zappa the other night. This gave me the chills:

This is the first country music video I saw, after moving to SC. The imagery is chilling!
This video is about making choices
Even though I'm agnostic, I like these types of video's:rolleyes:

First we have Richard Wagner on Sheffield Labs direct to disc; the part where Siegfried breaks through the clouds on his horse just raises two inch goosebumps and a tear or two FULL BLAST! Ed Savignon can attest to that.

[IMG][/img]

Second we have the flip side of Telarc's 1812 Overture, Capriccio Italien; Cossack Dance, FULL BLAST it takes you to heights of goosebumpidum and tear raising on a large scale.

Both on vinyl and both give the effects where the SACD/CD doesn't.

Yes, I agree.

What is amazing to me is the wide variety of music that gives us each the bumps.

I want to listen some of the selections.

For me to get the bumps I also need a quiet place with few or no distractions.

I heard this song on my way home from work. I watched the video and immediately bought it on itunes. Even though I bought it, I doubt I'll add it to my ipod. It really gets to me.

sda2mike

songs that have instruments that emulate the human voice...singers that impress with their instrument. songs that have dynamics, going soft to loud to emphsize wtf...most anything in a minor key, that leaves alot to the mind..leaving 'holes' allows the listener to fill in the blanks..


saw transiberian orchestra friday night...played 2.5 hrs...there was chills going on there:cool:
