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

mhardy6647

OK, listening to Joan all the way through reminded me of a triumvirate of remarkable "confessional" songs on Pete Townshend's unique (you'll either love it or hate it!) solo album, All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes.

Slit Skirts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paiQWninQoI
Somebody Saved Me
The Sea Refuses No River http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X4uyBg6zZU

A contemporary critic, as I recall, described the latter song as the most beautiful suicide note ever written. I never had that impression of it at all; more like the a true admission of contrition.

EDIT: I think some of you might recognize the other guitarist in the Slit Skirts video...
