Ever hear a song that made the hair on the back of your neck stand up, or made you cry...in public and you blamed it on allergies

list them here:

Independence day - martina mcbride - i know Sean Hannity uses this and i aint got nothing to do with that
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYENO6r5vVo&feature=channel

Butterfly kisses - fat guy - this one got me while driving, damn this song

lol at the OP, but when played in the right venue on the right speakers, Ladytron's Destroy Everything You Touch.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KBNLrqhft0

for sentimental reasons, Morrissey's Suedehead:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AvuweztG4Q

And because it was playing while I was in a horrible auto accident, Bulletproof (I Wish I Was) by Radiohead.

A few of my trance songs to this day (several years after acquiring them) literally give me goosebumps and increase my heart rate.

It does hurt. And if you're hurting in such a way, this song will break you into. . .little. . .tiny. . .pieces.

for me:

Eva Cassidy "I know you by heart" cry
October Project "Falling farther in" goosbumps
Billy Joel "She's got a way" almost cry
Wagner "Ziegfried's Death" goosbumps
[ it's from some opera, but if you remember the ending of "Excalibur" that's it]

and the National Anthem, when sung properly = goosbumps

I, too, saw this live. I couldn't hear for days afterwards.


Arcade Fire - Intervention (prefer the one from KCRW, but the album version is good, too)
NMH - In the Aeroplane over the Sea / Ghost (chills. every time)

I'll have more to add later when I have time to think about this.

Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely is one that comes readily to mind.

I couldn't pick just one Elliott Smith song to add to this. Between the Bars is a worthwhile addition to this list.

Bon Iver - Blood Bank
Bon Iver - Skinny Love

Pretty much anything Justin Vernon does, actually.

I also agree with "In My Life"

Sigur Ros -- "Olsen, Olsen"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2GjOC79gVI

Elliott Smith -- "All Cleaned Out"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj3zEUSQVi4

the Gary Jules version of "Mad World" from Donnie Darko
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3N1MlvVc4

Big Star -- "thirteen"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pte3Jg-2Ax4

Pink Floyd -- "wish you were here"

Okkervil River -- "red" ... god, I love that song. Too bad not many folks have heard it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al3VN0iZFsc

I think I could list this shit all day long, but those were some that came to mind. The Big Star one probably popped up only because I've been listening to them lately.
