Do You Get Chills When Listening To Certain Music?

[StealthRider]

I played both second and first in rehearsal, and second in the performance...whatever that highest note in our part was, it realllly resounded where we were playing as well...plus our conductor held it for just the perfect amount of time.

That nasty electronic garbage you heard is the DJ Tiesto dance mix version. Atrocious, isn't it? Garbage like that should be banned.

I don't know what the DJ Tiesto dance thing is.
alls I know is that it made my ears bleed.

The finale to Puccini's Turandot never fails to give me chills. Same with Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto and One by U2

 

[2nyRiggz]

Music about God send the chills on overload....its really refreshing.


Bless

We listened to it at rehearsal and I almost ran away screaming...it's a good idea of what not to do though.

 

[cyberddot]

Oh...Niccolo's 24 Caprices should get a mention. Try it all alone, lights out, and a hurricane-ish storm blowing outside (the NW has them all the time). That Paganini can dole out the chills.


...but the Necks still win.

A few years ago, The Times ran a poll of their readers to send in what they called pieces of music with "the highest spine-tingling quotient". The top-10 got published (can't remember the whole list), but it had pieces like the Faure Requiem, Barber's Adaggio in it. However, at the number 1, by a country mile, most spine-tingling was something I had never heard of. It was Allegri's Miserere (performed by the Tallis Scholars as the reference version). I went an bought it stat - and they had got that one right IMO. Worked for me then, and it still does. Awesome awesome music.

Allegri's Miserere sounds really good and i would like to download it. I searched iTunes, but there are heaps of different songs marked under Allegri: Miserere. Which one is the right one, and how long does it go for (approximately)? Is there more than one part to the song, or is there different versions?? Thanks in advance for the help.

I know it's stupid, but

I just heard Mas Que Nada for the first time in quite a few years. It actually gave me goose bumps. It reminded me of my high school days. The school I went to didn't have a bell. They played music over the PA system to signify the begining and end of each class period. Mas Que Nada was in heavy rotation. I must have heard it at least twice a week for 4 years.

[FocusAndEarnIt]

Yeah, I do.

Listening to Marilyn Manson really freaks me out sometimes.

 

[zelmo]

Yeah, I do.

Listening to Marilyn Manson really freaks me out sometimes.

I loves me some(™ & © iGary Productions 2005) Marilyn Manson, but I don't recall ever getting chills from listening to him/them, even in concert.

I get chills every time I hear Remembering by Joachim Lievano, formerly a guitarist for Jean Luc Ponty and Zazen. It was the song my wife and I danced to on our wedding night. It's an instrumental piece, but his guitar speaks to us. There's a song called Never The Same by echolyn that gets me every time, too.
There are other songs as well, usually it will be a powerful piece of music or just someone with a very emotive voice singing some heartfelt lyrics that ring true for the particular state of mind I'm in at the time.

...

Ooh, I forgot Shine on you Crazy Diamond. Those first four sharp guitar notes at the end of the long G minor chord.

Sometimes in quiet moments I think the chills are a response to not just what Ben said with personal events or what you want, but the music takes you to a place that you have never been and can never go otherwise.

For me, Revisiting Normandy on the SPR score takes me to the emotion of a soldier who has been given life from the sacrifice of another. That, and the last scene in the movie (I think it is Hymn to the Fallen) really touch me. The shot of old Ryan at the end, plus the music...until I got married, I wouldn't watch it with other people around.

 

[jakochampolska]

I dont know if anyone already said this but everytime I listen to the song bittersweet symphony by the verve gives me chills. Just thinking about that song gives me chills!
Also, any good techno song, I dont know why but techno takes me on a 'trip' hahahaa

oh oh and the song shiver by coldplay
and the song dont mug yourself by the streets

my school does that every friday!! we get to request a song and they'll play it over the intercom for 5 mins (or 10) in between classes.

Francis Ruffelle

In the Broadway recording of Les Miserables there are two songs by Eponine (Francis Ruffelle) that never fail to give me chills: 'On My Own' and 'Little Fall of Rain'.

I also really like Charlotte Church's rendition of 'Amazing Grace', the final note usually gives me a chill as well.

Oh there are loads. but only Savage Garden- Affirmation comes to mind right now. Theres a line in it about "love surviving death into eternity" or something. forget shivvers, one time that sent me into tears. Though that was a mad time of my life. now I just think "hey that's a good line"

 

[CompUser]

Total Eclipse of the Heart by Beth. The first time I played it my speakers were really loud and the chorus blew me a way because it was so powerful.

My mom gets teary when she hears My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion.

Nah man, because it was über scary.

I hate that kinda music.

EDIT:
But, for "good" chills, one song from Anna Nalick gives me "good" chills.

This is going to sound really corny, but the most spine-tingling musical moment I've ever experienced was in Scotland many, many, many years ago, when I was on a 3 year motor caravan tour of Europe.

It was somewhere fairly isolated in the highlands, can't remember where exactly, and I was on a long walk when I encountered a piper beside a loch playing a lament on the bagpipes. It wasn't a staged, touristy moment; there were no other tourists, no other people for that matter, around.

Whether he was having a practise session or fulfilling some inner need, I don't know as I certainly never thought of interrupting him, but I have never, before or since been so emotionally affected by a piece of music. I felt as if my spine would tingle its way right out of my body.

Just listened to something:

"Layla"

Arranged for a band of

20

Trombones!

Live recording of the "SlideAid" concert held in Toronto in 2001 with some of the premier trombonists in Canada.

Wow! I don't know if it is ever going to be released commercially, but the board mix is thrilling. 1.5 hours of Trombones in close harmony - mmmmmm...
