Songs/tunes that make you tingle

[grimfandango]

This tune makes me go goosebumpy everytime I hear it, without fail, I think it's lovely

Ladies in Lavender

What songs make you go tingly? share them here.

[Eddy]

Louis Armstrong & We Have All The Time In The World

[KingArthur]

Grim and Eddy - two excellent choices.

As you know I'm too stupid to post links, beisdes the music/film combination I have in my mind is not available on Youtube. It is called I think "The Waltz" from Tchaikovsky's ballet "Swan Lake"

It was featured in a quite underrated thriller "Gorky Park" and if you have by any chance seen the film it is the bit at the very end with the sables...

The music alone is lovely but that particular combination of music and pictures in the film always leaves me moved with both joy and sadness.

[grimfandango]

This is the waltz from swan lake, don't know if this is what you meant KA, having never seen Gorky park I wouldn't know. It's a great piece of music anyway.

Swan lake

There is the waltz of the flowers from Nutcracker, maybe it was this one.

Nutcracker


Enjoy anyway, I love Tchaikovsky.

[Eddy]

Pavarotti & Nessun Dorma

Click this.

Always so special.

[Eddy]

Eva Cassidy & Over The Rainbow

Click this.

[grimfandango]

Oooh lovely, both of them Nessun Dorma is a beautiful song and nobody could sing it like Pavarotti.

Somewhere over the rainbow reminds of Pauly Walters from the wake up to Wogan show, he is widely credited for kick starting her carer her by giving her airplay. Sadly by then Eva had passed away and of course dear old Dr wally is no longer with us either.

[grimfandango]

I love this version of Ave Maria by Hayley Westenra, I think her voice is so pure and amazing.

Ave Maria

[KingArthur]

Thanks Grim. Yep it is the first link you kindly put up from Swan Lake.

[grimfandango]

Really nice song by Sting

Fragile

[KingArthur]

Thanks Grim, it is a great song by Sting.

I really tried to post a direct link to this song but clearly I am doing something wrong so please just go to YouTube and type in Yes Onward and play the first video on the page.

YES truly are the "Overlords of Prog Rock" but they are so much more and this is one of the most enchanting, spine-tingling songs ever.

[grimfandango]

Probably not everybody's idea of a tingly song but I love this one by Genesis. They sang it when I saw them live back in 1992, it made me tingle then, it still does.


The Carpet Crawlers - live

Also love this by Floyd, the first time they had sung together since god was a boy, they haven't done so since.

Breathe

[KingArthur]

I am trying a different method. I have copied and pasted the link so hopefully other can do likewise. This is a keyboard medley from the astonishing Rick Wakeman. The three bits he plays are from "Madrigal" Catherine Parr" and "Merlin The Magician" The first is really lovely but the breathtaking part is 2:40 in...watch the speed of his fingers! it is quite insane!!! Possibly the most amazing music video I have seen, each time I watch by the end I am giving him a standing ovation. Breathtaking, try nd enjoy.

[Eddy]

All the new choices are excellent.

Links are all working.

[KingArthur]

Yay! I made a link!

[grimfandango]

Well done KA Great choice by the way, Rick Wakeman is an amazing musician.


Here's one I mentioned in the Abba thread last week, not the most uplifting of songs but great lyrics.


The Day before you came

[Eddy]

If we are going to do ABBA, I must add Dancing Queen.

It's here, YouTube.

It reminds me of a very special day out. A load of friends going for a picnic on the south-coast in a London route-master bus. Sadly, most of them are no longer around but the memory of that day will be with me forever.

[KingArthur]

I do like ABBA but am not a huge fan. On this one I have to agree with Grim. "The Day Before You Came" is not only by far my favourite ABBA song, it is a class above most other songs by anyone.
"Dancing Queen" is great too, but for me at least it has suffered from a bit of over-exposure. I'm gonna try another link soon, cannot decide which 'version' of my chosen song yet.

Btw, Eddy what you said about the song reminding you of that day trip is at least partly why I love music so much. It can evoke such wonderful memories even at times if they are tinged with sadness.

[KingArthur]

This is a 'blast from the past' for me, some of you may be a bit too young to remember it. The song is "Grocer Jack" or "Excerpt from a teenage opera" which I understand was never completed.

Moving words, great music though in today's world of 'a child molester on every corner' the video can look a bit creepy. Life was much more innocent back then.

[grimfandango]

That's an unusual tune KA, I quite like it, very 60's and rather sweet.

This song is always in my top 5, I love it...


God Only Knows

[KingArthur]

Glad you liked Keith West with "Grocer Jack" I love that weird intro in particular.

As for "God Only Knows" there is not much to be said. Probably the very definition of a song that makes you tingle! A timeless classic.

[KingArthur]

Here is another that maybe you have not heard. The song is "Rivendell" by Rush. I don't know much about Tolkein but apparently "Rivendell" is a place in either LotR or The Hobbit. Anyway someone has put the song up with a montage from Lord of the Rings as a video. To me it is a fragile and lovely song (from around 1974) that can just about move me to shed a tear if I am in the right mood.

"yet you know I've had the feeling, standing with my senses reeling this is the place to grow old...'til I reach my final day"

[grimfandango]

That's nice KA, I hadn't heard it before, thanks for posting.

I really like this tune by David Gilmour, it's the title track from his On an Island album.
I particulalry like the harmonising backing vocals from David Grosby and Graham Nash, two brilliant vocalists with one of the best guitarists, couldn't ask for more.

On an Island

[KingArthur]

Thanks Grim that really is a lovely song. It must be pretty darned cool to be able to call upon Crosby and Nash to do some harmonies!

[KingArthur]

Well the next song I thought of was on YouTube but has vanished.
So with link this time I will try to persuade you to give this a chance.
The song is a bit slow but so beautiful it hurts.

"Onward" by YES
