Threw It On the Ground.

-The Used- Taste of Ink

Dance with my Father by Luther Van Ross.
Ordinary World by Duran Duran

Mainly r&b such as Ordinary People by John Legend as listed above..Crying Out For Me by Mario is another that quickly came to mind..and some country songs like I Hope You Dance by Faith Hill. Definitely that Titanic song by Celine Dion too.

I love Zeppelin, and lots of shit...If I had to like, pick a song, I Shall Be Released by Jeff Buckley. -listen to it!

The vocals on Dream On are amazing like that.

-love: Invisible - Clay Aiken

If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
......
....
...
If I was invisible
(Wait..I already am)

Weirdly, I just mentioned it in my previous answer. Jerusalem. Also, the aria from Madame Butterfly, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, many of Chopin's Etudes, Preludes, and Nocturnes. Beethoven's third symphony (the Eroica). Phillip Glass' Koyaanisqatsi

But popular songs: "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell always chills me a little bit. "I've Never Been To Me" by Charlene, as well. It sounds horribly old-fashioned and club-singerish but, lyrically, it's overwhelmingly sad. Three Sinead O'Connor songs/covers too: "Nothing Compares 2 U", "The Emperor's New Clothes" but particularly "My Special Child".

The Beatles do it a lot: "Eleanor Rigby", "She's Leaving Home", "For No One", "A Day in the Life"

But if you mean spine-chilling in a good way, lots and lots of David Bowie, Lou Reed singing "Perfect Day" or "The Last Great American Whale", Queen singing "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Oh, and obviously the entire oeuvre of the boy Bieber.

ahhhhhhh look at all the lonely people

well there are songs that have meaning to me, ill think of more, but one two big ones are these 2

Misfits - Last Caress.

I literally don't get chills down my spine. I guess I'm not that sensitive and all that, but there are songs that shake me to my core sometimes, if you will.

Some songs that I can think of, that move me are 'Celluloid Heroes' by the Kinks and 'Wouldn't it be Nice' by the Beach Boys.

Both great gems in my music archive.

Eva Cassidy - Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees

Heather Nova - Island

Nick Drake - Place to Be

Thomas Newman - Road To Chicago

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Massive Attack - Protection

Ryan Adams - Wonderwall

A lot of songs send chills down my spine. One song that has special meaning and is very difficult to find is called "She" by Hummingfish.

The chorus:

She's not what you expected
You thought you were garrisoned
You had all your sides well protected
She is more than she seems
Asks more than a dream
Nothing less than everything
She gives you more than you knew you wanted
and now what you're wanting you never ever had before
Real true imperfect love

Aces high - Iron Maiden
Rhyme of the ancient mariner - Iron Maiden
Holy Smoke - Iron Maiden

And strangely far from the above examples,
Ordinary People - John Legend

Any Stone roses songg

Ben E. King - Stand by Me.
Hands down best song ever.

I have several. A few are super cheesy from when I was little but ya know. They mean a lot to me :')

Alcohol by Gogol Bordello.

NYGP!!!.

I'd never cry over music but I do get goosebumps from some. A few examples would be :

The Scientist - Coldplay

Speechless - Lady GaGa

One Day Like This - Elbow

The Takeover, The Breaks Over - Fall Out Boy

My Heart - Paramore

How To Save a Life - The Fray

My Hero - Foo Fighters

Breaking Down - Florence + The Machine

You Sent Me Flying - Amy Winehouse

Video Games - Lana Del Ray

Hometown Glory - Adele

Most of the above have several songs which just send shivers down my spine. I could go on for hours naming songs.

Well im more of a hip hop person but I have that movie 'V for Vendetta' and one day noticed this beautiful voice in the background so I took out my iphone and shazzamed it lol it was Julie London-Cry me a river. Loved that song. And also these two old skool songs from Pete Rock & CL Smooth, searching and T.R.O.Y. Love those two classics

"Don't Cry For me Argentina" The version by Sinead O'Connor. (Madonna has no soul) It's such a beautiful song. Every single verse hits my heart. Sinead's cover is my favorite. She just sings it with such honesty.

I kept my promise. Don't keep your distance.

Hiya,

Songs can either make me cry until I can't breathe & feel like throwing up, or I absolutely luv them.

Since we're talking about ones I love, any & all versions of an old blues song called 'In The Pines'. The best I’ve heard so far is by Martin Simpson.

The Bangles - Eternal Flame
Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting
Bryan Adams - Please Forgive Me, I do it for you

Gary Rules' Mad World

So much pain-Tupac

Ben E. King - Stand by Me. Dance with my Father by Luther Van Ross.
