what are some songs that give you chills (aka frisson) - gimme some music that makes you get chills/feel high

[6wh78aa]

i'll start off:

at the 57 second mark (which is ironically the most replayed part of the song) its like a wave of dopamine just hits me and my hair stands up all over my body. i love it, its really addicting and i find myself chasing music that makes me feel like this. its fucking awesome and feels like getting high off music.

fun fact about frisson: frisson, also known as psychogenic shivers, is derived from the french word "to have chills" and about less than 10% of people's brains are wired to be capable of experiencing frisson. frisson is common in people who's brains have more nerve fibers linking the auditory cortex to the anterior insular cortex (think emotional cortex) and it can even indicate a predisposition to having above average EQ or emotional quotient.

 

[Mortan Shekelstorm]

J. S. Bach - Toccata in D minor​

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow - Daine Bish

Jugband Blues Pink Floyd/ Syd Barret

Threed Zombie Central Earthbound

Earthbound Final Battle

Zombie - The Cranberries

 

[#FF0000]

Such a fucking good song.

 

[PaperRoads]

King Crimson - Starless

The build-up might be a bit long, but around the 11:17 minute mark, you realize it's absolutely worth it.

 

[Bloitzhole]

So you're telling me there's people who don't get shivers from music? Damn

While the trumpet is already excellent, I get goosebumps all over my body at 1:11 - most choral music also makes me feel tingly, especially at 3:56 here

 

[Lou Bega]

Alice Cooper - Halo of Flies

 

[Buck Breaker]

Nine Inch Nails - Ruiner​

 

[Jarl Varg]

Nightwish - Ghost Love Score Live
First tour with Floor Jansen on vocals:

 

[Rendang]

 

[Caesare]

A couple times a year I'll be driving and think about this song, pull it up and play it. Sometimes I'll be 2 or 3 minutes in and I'll have tears in my eyes that I hadn't even noticed. Nothing ever does that to me, especially not anything music related. It just sounds so otherworldly and angelic. This is the music you will hear in heaven.

 

[Lords Greatsword]

Shin Megami Tensei IV - Battle B2

 

[Korpon]

Quite a few, but for one example: Ice by Camel

 

[Digital Thunder]

Zombie - The Cranberries

I remember this coming up in at least one of the terrible/worst songs threads and I still don't get why, honestly.

Windows96 - Apartments

Based.

Porter Robinson - Sea of Voices (...is my personal "big one". To this day, it's the only single song that's not only hit me with the chills, but outright knocked me on my ass with them. It was less like getting chills and more like an IRL brain blast.)

Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No.1

Reed Criddle's arrangement of Chant of the Sixth Patriarch

Devin Townsend - Away

 

[Your Mother Should Know]

When I was young and heard this it gave me chills. One of those memories I will always have from my development years. I know it kind of became a hipster thing but back in the late 90's when I heard it it felt a lot more important to me then what was going on with alternative music at the time.

EDIT: In case the link is fucked it's Gold Star for Robot Boy by Guided By Voices.

Handel's Messiah. Got to see it in Carnegie Hall, unabridged. I nodded off for a bit during the pastorals (it is loooong) but the Hallelujah chorus is just wonderful, especially with full timpanies and double harpsichords. Go if you get the chance, they do it every Christmas.
Also basically anything by Wagner, but the An die Freiheit version of Ode to Joy is one, also many parts of Götterdämmerung.
I also love Gershwin, especially Rhapsody in Blue.

I don't know what a sarison is but I want to kill them

 

[Rick Nekieta]

Randy Travis - Three Wooden Crosses, always hits me right in the feels. Same with Phantom 309 by Red Sovine.

What a sick band. Tractor Rape Chain is that song for me.

I could dump a whole playlist here, but if I had to choose just one piece of music, it'd be Surf's Up by the Beach Boys. Specifically the Smile version. CHILD IS THE FATHER OF THE MAN.

When the Beach Boys hit gold they really hit gold. I'd take Smile or Pet Sounds over any Beatles album.
