The "shivers-down-my-spine-songs" thread

[Thorwyn]

OK here goes...
Looking for your list of songs that are "touching a nerve". From just awesome, to kitschy, to melancholic, to sickly sentimental.... everything is allowed as long as it´s one of the songs that keeps sending shivers down your spine every time you hear them.

I`ll start with

Bright Eyes - Art Garfunkel
Nobody Home - Pink Floyd
Fool on the Hill - Beatles
Everybody Hurts - REM
No Children - Mountain Goats

 

[Overdriven]

Fade to Black - Metallica
Hotel California - The Eagles
With Or Without You - U2

 

[Tilda]

Davinci code soundtrack, and the annie lennox song from the soundtrack to the final lotr.

 

[Rigga Mortice]

Blink 182 - I Miss You
Don McLean - Vincent (Starry starry night)

 

[Ingafgrinn Macabre]

In no particular order, but mainly alphabetical due to going down my music collection

Sinéad o'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U
Berlin - Take My Breath Away
Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon
Darling Violetta -
Crash Test Dummies - Superman's Song
Queen - Who Wants To Live Forever
Elvis Presley - In The Ghetto
Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights
Klein Orkest - Over De Muur
Laura Pausini - La Solitudine
Live - Lightning Crashes
Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderfull World
Mariah Carey - Against All Odds
Mecano - Hijo De La Luna
Muse - Unintended
Phish - Where Everybody Knows Your Name
Radiohead - Carma Police
Ralph McTell - Streets Of London
Reamonn - Supergirl
Shivaree - Goodnight Moon
Tracy Chapman - Fast Car
Tina Arena & Mark Anthoney - I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You << God, love any music with a full orchestra on the background...
Bill Joel - Leningrad
Aerosmith - Hole In My Soul
16 Down - Subtle Movements
4 Hero - Les Fleurs
Dire Straits - Telegraph Road
Counting Crows & Bløf - Holiday In Spain
David Bowie - Heroes
Charles Aznavour - Hier Encore (best version is the one from 40 chansons d'or)

Well, there are plenty more. I'm kinda music oriented
but these are the ones I could come up with this fast

 

[Blackjack]

Seal - Kiss from a rose
Naruto; Raising Fighting Spirit

 

[Everz]

Blink 182 - I Miss You
Don McLean - Vincent (Starry starry night)

100% agree with that

2pac - Starin' At The World Thru My Rearview (Resurrection version)

 

[Dukat]

Daft Punk - Interstellar 5555 (aka Discovery)

An anime series/album, rather than a single track, but you cant watch just one and walk away The series is on youtube - search for "daft punk interstellar part one" and work your way through it if you have time!

Part 2(Aerodynamic) and Part 8(Superheroes) are the 'shiver-down-my-spine' ones for me though

 

[fettoken]

Almost all the swedish eurovision song contest songs, puts a shiver down my spine in a very very... very bad way.

Heather Nova - Like Lovers Do
Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
