Which songs give you goosebumps when you hear them and you can't stop listening to them?
I'm trying to find some great music that I've possibly been missing out on.

If you want something that you probably haven't heard before, listen to The Ballad of the Sad Young Men from The Nervous Set. Also, Yellow Dum from The Grass Harp.

This is really random but I find myself going to Patti LuPone singing As Long As He Needs Me from OLIVER! from her Patti LuPone: Live album. The way she sings it on that album always gives me a rush of emotion. And that voice.
I'm really looking forward to what people are saying in this thread! I have Youtube at the ready!

I know this doesn't sound tasteful in the slightest, but "Totale Finsternis" from Tanz der Vampire is actually very lovely to listen to despite sharing the same tune with Total Eclipse of the Heart. (If you listen to the Steve Barton version, your ears will simply melt.)
The title song from Rebecca is also pretty chill-inducing.

Posted: 12/5/14 at 6:34pmOh, whoops. Yes, Yellow Drum is from The Grass Harp. I get them confused all the time, which doesn't make a lot of sense, considering the scores are really different.

I love Soliloquy from Carousel. The melody is gorgeous and the ending always gives me chills.
Patti Lupone singing I Dreamed A Dream is just so beautiful too.
Quiet from Matilda creates such a peaceful feeling whenever I listen to it.
After Eight. Lol that song is bizarre.

"After Eight. Lol that song is bizarre."
No question, it lies outside the scope both of your understanding, and, ahem, "sensibility."
Far outside.
Here's another in that same purlieu.
"A Balloon Is Ascending" from Ben Franklin in Paris.
