TrevorR Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 A few disparate recordings really set the hairs standing up on the back of my neck every time... Elgar's Cello Concerto http://youtu.be/zv6w1VoEJaE Little Wing by Stevie Ray Vaughan http://youtu.be/An4uDegHB8s Gustav Holst's The St Paul's Suite - particularly the last movement, "The Dargason" when the melody from Greensleeves starts weaving its way around the main tune. He wrote this for his local girls schools annual concert... Amazing! http://youtu.be/5Sxbj1AKrj8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Complete Control The Clash and Song to the Siren by Tim Buckley. Saying that, every version of Song to the Siren I've heard has had the effect on me! There's a young lass on youtube does a version - https://youtu.be/K_CuyabubKs which I quite like...

bubinga5 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) This is without doubt one of the best voices I've ever heard. Donny Hathaway. Music from the master. Yes it gives me the goosers. Its EPIC. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VckU7vzUzCk[/media] Edited January 10, 2017 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Bass. Its still Donny with Willie Weeks on bass. This bass playing is up there with Jamerson, Pino. Its just amazingly musical. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLUh70zp0LE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigyin Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) You beat me to it Bubinga5....Willie Weeks bass playing is on a different scale i was blown away first time i heard this and many years later still does it...probably my favourite bit of Bass playing i've ever heard Edited January 12, 2017 by thebigyin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikel Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Twist and Shout by the Beatles. I first heard it when it was released as my sister was an avid Beatles fan. It was the first recording that made me realise music could be something else. It literally made me jump around the room, there is something primal about that live performance captured on the album. Before that I thought music was something to sing or to dance to, not this song, it still makes my heart rate and blood pressure climb, pure excitement. As the say, a song should make you either want to dance, cry, fight or f**k. If not its wallpaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkandrew Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I don't really do "musical theatre" (it's not very metal is it!) but A Little Fall of Rain from Les Mis gets me every time. On a happier (and still not very metal note) Found by The Beloved always leaves me with a massive smile on the inside. https://youtu.be/e8fBGQxjjdg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 David Gilmour, "High Hopes", the "Live in Gdansk" version. I can't listen to it more than once a year, headphones clamped on, weeping. The guitar solo is gut-wrenching. It will be played at my funeral. My epitaph will be "Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied..."

Funky Ghost Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 An odd trifecta from me I am a Yanni fan and make no bones about it. When the french horns come in and the gals hit it right after with the vocals I'm soaring. Fantastic stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmVQaFXD-3w As a kid the first song that I recall really touching me and making me realize just how powerful a tune and it's lyrics can be was this one. As above, I am an unabashed Neil Diamond fan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTMjpLvMJjA This is about as good as it gets. So powerful and so very empowering. I love this iteration of it. There may be better done recordings of it but this just showcases what the song is about and how it can affect people. Superb! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87qT5BOl2XU A fourth occurs to me. Bowies Heroes at the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert was amazingly touching. The look that May gets near the end ... just so in the moment and so forlorn looking. How can you not be touched by that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsiQgRp5bfQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 This version of California Dreaming - the original is great, but always sounded sunny and happy, hiding the true melancholy of the lyrics. Here, Phillips age and fragility (he died before the album could be released) really shows through. Once those Mexican BV's kick in I'm gone!

Funky Ghost Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I'll leave this here as well. When I first saw it I was blown away. The enormity of it and the beauty of it astound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NENlXsW4pM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
