Songs That Give You Goosebumps

Pretty simple really, title explains all.

I know I've posted it like a million times on this forum but I just think this song is amazing, especially live.

Here's a few tunes that fill me with shivers, goosebumps and pride,



Im not French, this is the National Anthem of France but also the Anthem for all enlightened men and women of the world!

Any song that's sufficiently epic gives me goosebumps at its apex. That's how I know it's good

Ascent of Everest - A Threnody (For the Victims of November Second)



There a point in which the speaker intones 'there is despair Mr President, there is despair on the faces you don't see, on the people you don't visit' and there is a single guitar reverb that just makes one of the most heart-rending sounds I've ever heard in music.

Lights Out Asia - Four Square



When the guitar riff switches to white noise and you can just hear an uplifting drum beat through it.

Song gave me goosebumps the very first time I heard it.

Not exactly a song, but it. Nothing gives me goosebumps like this:


'Twas used in the Mass Effect 2 launch trailer.
And speaking of that great game series. There is no way in hell the main theme does not send chills up your spine:

As well as its more epic cousin from the sequel's menu:

The Mass Effect credits song by The Faunts is definitely a goosebumps kind of song.

Oh my, yes. When I first beat the game, I cranked up the volume and just let it blare.
The parental units were not amused.

Dvořak, most of his pieces, actually. Particularly the "New World" Symphony No. 9 (a piece every American should know, since it's about America, and one of the few "Classical" pieces on that topic), the Cello Concerto Op. 104, at least one movement from the "American" String Quartet No. 12, and the Slavonic Dances. These are all instant awesome. Dvořak composed some of the most beautiful and moving themes in musical history IMO.






Bizet, the suite "l'Arlésienne". All of it.

Thanks. TWC just crashed in my browser, so my edits were cut short.

That is my favourite too, although my favourite movement is the 4th.


Besides that one, mine would be Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture (especially the version with the choir) and Vivaldi's l'estate (summer), 3rd movement (Presto, I think) and l'inverno (winter) 1st movement. Incidentally, 'Autumn' is my least favourite of all 'The Four Seasons'.



Of the more modern music:

- Maggot Brain, by Funkadelic
- Jumping at Shadows, by Peter Green (as Fleetwood Mac, but really it's Peter Green)
- How To Disappear Completely, by Radiohead
- Sorry, by Kyteman

And many more.


Plus Vangelis' whole 'El Greco' album, with movements 5, 7 and 8 in particular.

Schuberts "Ave Maria": sublime, etherical

If we're going to go with orchestral pieces, I have to posit one of my favourites pieces of all time. I always chills -both of fear and of awesome- when hearing this.

Some of your links don't work for me. There's only a sign saying something about "Sony Entertainment" and is not available in your country. Further proof that Youtube is going down the drain and my country is becoming more and more fascist.
