I also wanted to add **Sahra** by **Khaled**. I mean the song in particular, but I can listen to the whole CD over and over and over. ---

_Whipping Post_ by the Allman Brothers Band, the studio version off their first album. Toward the end of the song, the band builds to a crescendo running up the scale. Then Duane makes his guitar scream and cry, as Greg calls out in pain. The the band stops short and Greg cries, “Sometimes I feel…” I bet I’ve heard that bit five hundred times and it still gives me a shiver. Also, _Careful With That Axe, Eugene_ by Pink Floyd off _Ummagumma_ never fails to send a chill up my spine. ---

Toad the Wet Sprocket’s “Stories I Tell,” a little over two minutes into the song when he sings “Do you eeeeeeeeever wonder?” “Ender” by Finch. The whole song is great, but the guitars at the end always give me goosebumps. Tori Amos - “Cooling.” Wow. The whole damn thing. Also Tori’s cover of “A Case of You,” when she sings “in a blue TV screen light.” The Sundays - “Here’s Where the Story Ends,” when she sings “It’s that little souvenir of a terrible year.” ---

Here’s another vote for “Danse Macabre.” Holst’s Planets, too, although Mars has a bit more of an effect on me than Jupiter. There are a lot from operas that I like – the finale from Verdi’s _Aida_ is amazing, as well as the Church Scene and Party In Hell from _Faust_. Another of my favourites is “Vissi D’Arte” from _Tosca_. I loved it the first time I heard it, but once I knew what the words meant it had more of an effect on me. Here’s a rough-ish translation: > [@](#): > > I have lived for art… > I have lived for love… > And never harmed a living soul > The poor and distressed times without number I have aided… > Ever a faithful believer, > I have sincerely offered up my prayers to the saints. > Ever a faithful believer, I have laid offerings of flowers on the altar. > In this my hour of trial and bitter tribulation, > why hast thou my Father forsaken me? Amazing. ---

Eric Clapton’s acustic guitar solo from “Let it Grow”. It’s only a few seconds long, but… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/music-that-makes-you-shiver-reccomendations-please/152064.md?page=3)
