Cold chill moments, what songs touch you?

[Goig!]

I´m listening to a selection of the best songs of Dire Straits, themes like Tunnel of Love (specially the final) and Local Hero (a live version, I get goosebumps everytime) I can actually feel them on my skin.
What songs give you the chills?

I´ll add some from the top of my head:

Your Latest Trick, Dire Straits too.

Prospero´s Speech from the album The Mask and Mirror by Loreena Makennitt (actually the whole album is one long steady cold chill moment for me, but that last song really makes me shiver, perhaps because The Tempest is one of my favourite Shakespeare´s plays)

Nessum Dorma, from the opera Turandot, specially if it´s performed by Pavarotti.

Another from an opera, The Flower Duet from Lakme

With or Without You, U2

Russians, by Sting

May It Be, Enya

The Boxer Simon & Garfunkel

Mediterraneo, by Joan Manuel Serrat

Here, There and Everywhere, The Beatles

When the Snow Melts by Phil Cunningham, if you know it rise you hand; it took me 6 years to find out this song after hearing a snipet in a commercial.

Vincent by Don McLean, this gomdamned song almost makes me cry.

Your turn.

[Goig!]

Ohhhhhh here comes another one!

On Every Street... this Dire Straits CD is pure gold.

[Jyncus]

Nessum Dorma
Nice.. After I heard that song in the movie The Sum of All Fears, I immediately went out and got the soundtrack to hear it again. Definitely one of my favorite opera pieces.

The Cranberries - Zombie

Enya - May it Be (specifically the major chord change in the middle of the song)

MLK Jr - I Have a Dream.. speech.

Craig Armstrong - B.O.F 1942

Among others.. :)

[nalhcal]

Stan - By Eminem

[Chris-3DT]

Bruce Springsteen: Streets of Philadelphia. (Don't have to be homosexual to be touched by that one).

Bryan Adams: Inside Out.

Pur: Abenteuerland.

The Theme from Rainman

Watershed: Indigo Girl

Oh, and two of my alltime favourites:

Chris Isaac: Wicked Game.

and

Louis Armstrong: What a Wonderful World.

[Profane]

Karma police by Radiohead

[Downup]

Song of Mana~Opening Theme~.. Best one ever:)

[il_paulio]

Elvis Presley - Youre always on my mind

[Ironbuket]

Coolio - Gangsters Paradise

REM - Everybody Hurts

The Verve - The drugs dont work

Carly Simon - Let the river run

[Knut]

Songs that give me the chills:

Windir - Martyrium
This one is "ripped" from a psalm. Its about some guy who died in a battle a long time ago and is off to the land of eternal rest.
The vocalist of the band died a couple of months ago which kinda gives the theme of the song an added affect. It's raw, brutal, epic and fast as hell. Brilliant song. |,,|

Dimmu Borgir - Allehelgens Død I Helveds Rike
This one got a nice part with clean vocals that contrast to the brutal music. It also got some nice synth parts.

Månegarm - Ursjälens Visdom
I love violins in metal songs. This one got lots of em, including a cool solo. Chill chill chill.

I got lots more but am too lazy to type em in:halo:

[Cic]

Well I really love:

Damien Rice - Volcano

Damien Rice - Cold Water

Thomas Dybdahl - Cecilia

Thomas Dybdahl - From Grace

Pink floyd - Comfertably Numb (Or how you spell it)

Delillos - Vår

Theese songs are really chilling and you should get them!

[mr_demon]

oh ok, it's the same ideological crap he writes every time. 'save the world!' 'world peace!'
p.s. i didn't mean to offend any of u sting fans out there

[claWda]

"love for granted" -phoenix
"run" - snow patrol, agree with that
any song by bloc party, old ones like radiohead and k's choice also work, there's just too much

also, chances that anyone has heard this are minimal but I have to check

"River flows in you" - Yiruma, best piano peace EVER

[Rinne]

Chris: I expected a lot from these forums, but a Pur listener is really wicked :o

Really Chillout moments:

U2 - With or Without you
Pur - Lena
Status Quo - In the Army now
Queen - The show must go on
Uriah Heep - Lady in Black

there are plenty lots of other songs, but one is still really worth to be mentioned, and I wonder I didn't see it earlier in here :P

Scorpions - Wind of change

[mr_demon]

i saw scorpions live last year, an i tell u, winds of change takes on a whole new dimension when heard live. i actually saw people crying!

[USED]

well my most Cold chill experience was when I went to see Phantom of the Opera live, The songs in that left me covered in goosebumps and chilled to the bone... But haven't listened to it but that one time. I heard that the CDs of it are just as good. If any one wants to know what I'm talking about, give em a listen.

But I'm one of the only people I have ever met that doesn't really "get in to music" I think that I'm a completely visual person.. When I had the time to 3d Model I would mostly do it in compete silence, how strange... I think that I am completely Visually stimulated, audio does nothing for me, and yet I was born with huge ears and have good hearing :)

[pecenipicek]

the first moment when i heard Timelessness by Fear Factory, i was profoundly stirred, its just... i cant describe the feeling that it gives to me...

also, one of more emotional songs i heard and liked, were Mutter and Spieluhr by Rammstein...
infact, im going to listen to it again right now.

Die Tränen greiser Kinderschar
ich zieh sie auf ein weißes Haar
werf in die Luft die nasse Kette
und wünsch mir, dass ich eine Mutter hätte
keine Sonne die mir scheint
Keine Brust hat Milch geweint
In meiner Kehle steckt ein Schlauch
Hab keinen Nabel auf dem Bauch

Mutter

Ich durfte keine Nippel lecken
und keine Falte zum Verstecken
niemand gab mir einen Namen
gezeugt in Hast und ohne Samen
der Mutter die mich nie geboren
hab ich heute Nacht geschworen
ich werd ihr eine Krankheit schenken
und sie danach im Fluss versenken

Mutter

In ihren Lungen wohnt ein Aal
auf meiner Stirn ein Muttermal
entferne es mit Messers Kuss
auch wenn ich daran sterben muss

Mutter

In ihren Lungen wohnt ein Aal
auf meiner Stirn ein Muttermal
entferne es mit Messers Kuss
auch wenn ich verbluten muss

Mutter
oh gib mir Kraft

the best song ever.

[mr_demon]

i like the quiet distortion interlude in it, or was it in spieluhr...............one of them

[pecenipicek]

i think it was Spieluhr, not sure, Spieluhr rocks too...


did you hear the "Das Modell" ?


[edit]yup, it was in "Mutter"

[JanJaap]

the problem with Rammstein is that when you translate the song the lyrics are somewhat strange but then so does Weila Walia by the Dubliners and Dragosta din tie by O-zone.

some extra songs to my list:

the beginging of the Requim for Evita (the best use of an electrical guitar yet heard)
Wut will nicht Sterben - Rammstein with Puhdys (http://herzeleid.com/en/lyrics/misc#wut_will_nicht_sterben)
Reisse Reisse - Ramstein
Bless the child - Nightwish
Dead to the world - Nightwish (really great duet)
Almost al songs by Nick Cave (he has some very weird songs)

Jan-Jaap

[Lord Soc]

Sooo many...what can I say? I really get into my music :roll:
Here's some of them:

Black Sabbath - Planet Caravan, Solitude, Too Late
Def Leppard - Long long way to to
Dio - Holy Diver, Don't Talk to Strangers (the Blind Guardian version is quite good, too)
Dire Straits - Why Worry, Telegraph Road, Private Investigations (from the Love over Gold album), It Never Rains
Enya - Pax Deorum, May It Be, Athair Ar Nearmh
Hammerfall - Always Will Be, I Believe
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Queen - The Show Must Go On, Who Wants to Live Forever,
Rainbow - Catch the Rainbow
Rammstein - Mutter
The composer Ravel
Autumn Leaves
Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World
Kenny G - Pastel
Nightwish - Forever Yours
Mike Oldfield - Sentinel, quite a few other songs I can't remember the names of
(I forget the artist) - Adiemus
John Williams - Cavatina

...The list goes on, but those are the ones that come immediately to my mind. :D

There's also a whole load of christian music, but I prefer playing than listening

[pecenipicek]

and of course, how could i forget!!!
Therio - Kali Yuga p1&p2, Melek Taus and... err... Midgard, Asgard and Muspelheim!!!

GO THERION!!!

[mr_demon]

das modell is a makeover of an old kraftwerk song. i like listening to rammstein, not playing their songs cause their a bit too one-or-two-chords-throughout-the-song type of stuff, know what i mean?

[pecenipicek]

tell me about it...

altough Feuer Frei is a bit more eh... randomized in the three-four chords stuff. ;)


im trying to learn how to play a guitar, but my acoustic one broke. totally...

and it predates my parents...(i think it was made some time before 1918... aka WWI :) )

[Joey B]

Let's see:

Hard:
Alice in Chains - Them Bones (written in 7/8 rhytm, cool!)
Temple of the Dog (Soundgarden + Pearl Jam) - Call me a dog
Stone Temple Pilots - Plush
Bush - Machinehead + Glycerine
Skunk Anansi - Brazen
Rammstein - (Hier kommt die) Sonne

Soft:
Heather Nova - Island
Sting - Fragile
Ben Folds Five - Evaporated
Evanesence - Hello
Spandau Ballet - Through the Barricades
Kansas - Dust in the Wind

Classical:
F. Smetana - die Moldau
von Beethoven - Mondscheinsonate
Chopin - Nocturne no. 9

And many many many more... I like almost every music style, as long as the music 'has' something that catches me.
Most recent 'shiver-moment' I had while listening to the song by Evanescence, Hello. The lyrics are really overwhelming, and the singer has such an amazing voice, she can hit high notes with almost no vibrato, clear as ice! Wow...


Joey B.

[mr_demon]

playing rammstein on an acoustic? hm.......................
y don't u buy a cheap electric? just a samick, or yamaha. i've had my samick for 3 years now an it's really value for money. i haven't experienced a need to tune it in the past 4 weeks!!! an boy do i give it a thrashing when i play (anything between one an four hours almost daily). ok, it isn't a gibson, but still it's good enough for beginners. saving up for a les paul or an explorer, hopefully this year

[pecenipicek]

nah, my friend has an electric, so i practice a bit there, but i cant practice anymore on my old acoustic one...

altough Zehn Kleine Jägermeister by Toten Hosen was fun to learn ;)

i saw at one of nearby guitar shops in Zagreb here a guitar for somewhere around... 75€ ;)

altough quality is a bit questionable i think...

[JDM3dee]

The scientist - Coldplay

beautiful song...

[K-Walk Studios]

Humm... cant really dicide one song of the band i like but:..

Pink Floyd - Every album, I like the first album with Syd but everyone is good. Check out Dark Side Of The Moon!!! And "Julia Dream"... what can I say...

Led Zeppelin - Same here, every album! My favorite is Led Zeppelin 2, but everyone is good. Songs like D'yer Mak'er, Stairway to heaven, Dazed and confused and many more... priceless!

Jimi Hendrix - Ok here is a men how really know how to play guitarr. Once again I like everything he has done, but you should really check out the album Bold As Love with songs like "Bold as love", "Little wings", "castles made of sand". Thease are quite soft songs who I really like. "Hush now" is reallyu great too.

Oh I have so many songs to list... Can't list them all...

If you like electronic...

Air - La femme d'argent

Aim - Cold water music

Portishead - Can't really diside but "Numb" is good.

Morcheeba - The Sea

Massive Attack - Teardrop, Angel and "Karmacoma (Portishead experience)"

Okey.. I can't go on the hole day so here are some mixed artist to end with...

Koop - A Swedish electronic jazz band - Waltz for Koop

Charles Mingus - Jazz - Fables of faubus

Paco de lucia

Al di Meola
...

I have to stop now... It will be to much... If you like any of these and whant more tips about simular artist or songs pm me! I am a music freak... Good night everyone.

[novoAlias]

Just listened to stairway to heaven and looked up lyrics

one of the more creepy songs ive heard recently

[Freespace-3DT]

I always associate a song or other with each of my girlfriends... but one song is associated with them all... dunno why, just is... spice girls-viva forever
Now don't laugh... I love Staind, System of a Down, StaticX, Linkin Park... but that song always touches me... so there. :dance:

[Rinne]

the problem with Rammstein is that when you translate the song the lyrics are somewhat strange but then so does Weila Walia by the Dubliners and Dragosta din tie by O-zone.



I guess translating the texts can be quite hard, as they are partly done with using slangs, or other sentences that you can't truly translate, the lyrics of Rammstein do often have a heavy depth and so you have to think about them a lot..

Anyways you can usually expect that they are quite sad, Mutter and Spieluhr are some of the best examples for this...

Also "Amerika" is a very interesting song..

If you are looking for texts and translations, take a look at lyrics.astraweb.com (http://www.lyrics.astraweb.com/) , I at least found a translation of "Engel" there, quite good, maybe you find even more ;)

[Julhelm]

Dream Theater: Space-Dye Vest

[qwed88]

When I was 16 it was MARILYN MANSON - The Beautiful People
When I was 18 it was Smashing Pumpkins - Muzzle
Now that I'm 24 it's Loreena McKennitt's rendition of - The Lady of Shallott

Strange How my musical tastes have grown, It's kinda interesting how you can be so in love with a song when you were younger, but when you get older the song makes so much more sense and you realize that you really did'nt get it, or maybe it just takes on a different meaning from a different perspective

I heard this song Bonny Portmore by Loreena Mckennitt, a few years ago, something about it just made me want to cry, it was so sad, but beautiful at the same time, and then I did a little research on it and found out how old it was, and what it was about, and it really amazed me, it inspires me, it's a crazy thought that you could create something and hundreds of years later it could have such an emotional impact on someone so many years later, i think thats the one of the true powers of art, its the closest you could really get to immortality

Wow and I can't even begin to tell you how big of an impact the lady of shallot had on me

you should read the Tennyson poem, it's amazing, probably for me more than most, for some reason I can really relate to some of the ideas behind that poem

anyway sorry for rambling

[cheybea]

almost anything from Coldplay...

[Rinne]

Yeah, coldplay rulez!

Herbert Groenemeyer -- Der Weg ( :cry: )
Herbert Grönemeyer -- Bochum ( :eek: )

[Dr.N]
