Chill Inducing Songs

[crailtap]

Everyone knows the feeling, whether it be a slow crescendo that builds into a climax (Lux Aeterna) or a song that's so heavy and fast (Aggressive Perfector) everyone's experienced a song which gives you goosebumps or makes you shiver like mad. Name at least one song that's done that to you.

Driver's Seat- Sniff and the Tears
Bitches Brew-Miles Davis
A Love Supreme- John Coltrane
America-Simon and Garfunkel
Rock and Roll- Velvet Underground

[MiKe]

Electric Light Orchestra--Fire On High
Pink Floyd--Comfortably Numb (and just about any other song by them)
Morbid Angel--This Means War
Pantera--Suicide Note Part 1 (the first few notes on the guitar get me every time)
There's more, I just don't feel like thinking that hard.

[JarOfFlies]

Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam
Whale & Wasp - AIC
Estranged - Guns N' Roses
Dancing in the moonlight - Thin Lizzy (only for the kickass solo)
Whispering A Prayer (Vai's best song, imo)
Ozzy Osbourne - No more tears (The dolphin shit before the solo)
Led Zeppelin - The rain song (all of it)

[LedFloyd]

Explosions In The Sky - With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept.

Am. a. zing.

[plumser]

Alot of songs by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Also some songs by Buzum.

[LedFloyd]

Alot of songs by Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

Very true. But the fact that each song is like... 20 minutes long might be a detriment to new listeners. As for me, I lub them.

[BrainStew]

Opeth - "Godhead's Lament" and "Face of Melinda"
Lilitu - "Follow Through"
Iron Maiden - "Hallowed be Thy Name"
Metallica - "One" and "Orion"
Suicidal Tendencies - "You Can't Bring Me Down"
Dredg - "Catch Without Arms", "Sorry But It's Over", and "It Only Took A Day"
Slayer - "Seasons in the Abyss" and "South of Heaven"
Vesperian Sorrow - "Astrodramatica"
Katatonia - "Without God", "Nerve", and "Criminals"

Those immediately come to mind. There's more, though.

I like how you think, I agree with You Can't Bring Me Down, especially when it slows down and picks up again.

[OG_$tevie]

lol I don't mind if you take the piss out of what I like two of my best mates like rock and take the piss every day. Everyone was posting rock songs so I thought I'd even it out a bit, you probably just interperet the music differently to me.

[rryyyaannn]

yeah exactly like i said i wasnt knocking it i just really didnt know that, that kind of music had and effect on people

[atreyu_2020]

One that comes to mind is Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath, theres many others, but I'm not in a thinking mood.

let it be - beatles

[PlumpTiger]

American Pie - Don Mclean
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
Lodi - CCR
Under Pressure - Bowie and Queen

[Joey Orion]

^^^ Under Pressure is a definite for me as well. That song was so far ahead of its time and even now it has more meaning than most songs. The part that gets me is the explanation of "Love" at the climax of the song. Damn, I love that song.

Either The Beatles or Johnny Cash's version of "In My Life" That song not only gives me chills but sometimes brings tears to my eyes.

[97GAGT]

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
ELO - Fire On High
Incubus - I Miss You
Staind - Fade

[PlumpTiger]

That's the exact same part i was thinking about! when he hits that really high note the song just sends chill down my spine.

[Allergic]

Most Pink Floyd songs, in particular 'One Of These Days' has a great chilling build up.

The build up and climax of a lot of Radiohead songs are awesome, such as You and Whose Army, 2+2=5, Sit Down. Stand Up, Paranoid Android and pretty much anything live.

Also, Newborn by Muse has a great piano and vocal build up at the beginning, which erupts into a simple but mindblowing riff.

[KEALYBOY]

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Miles Davis Quintet - Autumn Leaves (live)
Can - Paperhouse
Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven
Neil Young - Rockin' In The Free World
David Bowie - Moonage Daydream (Santa Monica '72)
Pink Floyd - Entire Wish You Were Here album; entire Dark Side of the Moon album; Echoes

[FLYINGDOG]

I swear I was about to make a thread exactly like this, very weird.


But every time I hear this song I can't help but sing along, and I almost get chills.


Lynard Skynard - Simple man

I also like to listen to the Shinedown version.

My Rhapsody playlist starts like this...

1. Simple man
2. Simple man


:D

[PlumpTiger]

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Miles Davis Quintet - Autumn Leaves (live)
Can - Paperhouse
Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven
Neil Young - Rockin' In The Free World
David Bowie - Moonage Daydream (Santa Monica '72)
Pink Floyd - Entire Wish You Were Here album; entire Dark Side of the Moon album; Echoes

YES! MOONAGE DAYDREAM!!!!!! I can never find anyone who has ever even heard of that song! The best part is the little recorder solo in the middle. Or during the last chorus when they delay his voice.

[KEALYBOY]

YES! MOONAGE DAYDREAM!!!!!! I can never find anyone who has ever even heard of that song! The best part is the little recorder solo in the middle. Or during the last chorus when they delay his voice.

Or there is Ronson's screaming extended guitar solo on the live versions...

[Haschishin]

Any song sung by Jim Morrison

[Incoheria]

"Dance With The Devil" by Immortal Technique
"Rob and Vic" by Onyx

And for some reason, "Mad World" by Gary Jules

[lameassdude]

I'm starting to get immune to getting chills anymore, but I think that 'Dazed and Confused'-Zeppelin, and 'Peace Attack'-Sonic Youth are the ones that have been sending a chill threw my spine lately.

[Joey Orion]

Do You Feel Like We Do - Peter Frampton on Frampton Comes Alive

[MoDilly]

The Patient - Tool
The Grudge - Tool
Third Eye - Tool
Triad - Tool
Undertow - Tool

And basically every other song by Tool will make the hair on my arms stand up. I feel like I'm listening to Gods play instruments when I hear them.

And Pink Floyds Album, Animals.

[crailtap]

Do You Feel Like We Do - Peter Frampton on Frampton Comes Alive

Good one,

Latest song I was listening to that gave me the chills was War Pigs, God, I love that song, especially the middle where he keeps arpeggiating chords. Over and over again.

[BaxterII]

Led Zeppelin - all my love
Muse - falling away with me
Rob Dougan - Clubbed to death 2
Queen - Princes of the Universe

On the Bus Mall by The Decemberists (Beautiful lead over nice acoustic strumming)
Carry the Zero by Built to Spill (Builds up magnificently
Wise Up by Aimee Mann (That scene in Magnolia...best scene ever.)

Finally...

Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin (This song is perfect. No song can match its perfection)

[crailtap]

Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin (This song is perfect. No song can match its perfection)

So What by Miles Davis, it doesn't give you chills, but if you don't feel like lighting up a cigar and putting on your favorite black suit and hanging out in cool bars, then sir, you're not human.

[heaven's satan]

Black Sabbath- damn near everything on their album. more specifically, Black Sabbath and The Wizard. if you know the lyrics, it sounds better. they had pretty cool lyrics.

[JarOfFlies]

Everyone's forgetting "Steve Vai owns Zappa in every way, by Steve Vai himself."

Duh..

Yeah, and add The needle and the damage done by Neil Young to my list of songs.
