What music/song gives you the chills no matter how many times you listen to it?

I was perusing YouTube and thought of a couple more.
Everyone knows of Van Halen and for alot of people from my generation, our first experience with VH was on MTV. Well, I will never forget the first time I saw this video on MTV way back in like '86 I think it was. It had alot to do with why I got in to defense work. Even today, when ever I hear this song, I get goosebumps and if I'm driving, the right foot gets real heavy, real quick! You just can't watch this video or listen to this track without getting all fired up! Follow your "Dreams" 'cause they'll take you higher and higher, straight up you'll climb!

The other one I remember seeing and was surprised to see it on YouTube was when Pope Benedict came to the U.S. last year and President Bush had the distinguished guest to the Capitol. I watched it on the news from my computer. The YouTube video sound is not so hot but "The Battle Hymn of the Republic when sung by a chorus or chior like this gives me chills. I don't know why, it just does. Here's the U.S. Army Chorus doing a spectacular rendition. Just wish I could find one with better sound quality.

I forgot about these two. thanks for reminding me guys/gals
..Hell freezes over is one fantastic album!!!
Please don't take the girl...WOW on that one for sure!
I heard another love story song the other day and saw it's video at the same time. I can't remember the name of the song but it's by two guys,Rascal flats I think. A woman is racing home (coming home?maybe the name...)and she falls to her knees in front of a head stone. The father and son look like they're in the distance ready to leave earth... It gets me just typing about it...Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
My wife is moved when she hears "Taps" and she sent this home for me to watch. It is the full version played by a little girl. Turn the volume up .

I get chills from the intro on "Day at the Dog Races" by Little Feat and "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner, this was played in the classic surfing scene in the movie Apocalypse Now.

I dunno, she's good and all but I guess you had to see her live. I like Sting's better.

There are not many forums out there that you can post a Country music song, and get away with it.:p

Yes, that's a beautiful and haunting song; also one of my "references" for system evaluation. Just listened to it in the LR after church; thanks for mentioning it!
I'll put in another vote for Eva Cassidy's version of Fields of Gold. I don't know if it would be so moving if I didn't know her tragic story... but it still makes me mist up when I hear it. It's an intrinsically beautiful song; one of Gordon's best.
I find it hard to watch YouTube videos of Eva :-(
EDIT: Joan of Arc's intro brought me to mind of Elton John's Rotten Peaches, and thence Leavon; two more haunting and beautiful songs (just in case any of the younger folks here think Sir Elton never did anything but goofy pop and Candle in the Wind).
