Some of the ones that give me goosebumps are...........

"The living years" by Mike & The Mechanics.
"Africa" by Toto.
"Amazed" by Lonestar.
"Sailing" by Rod Stewart.

I could probably name a few more too but thought I'd just mention the above as they are the first that came to mind.

Definately Mike & the Mechanics "the living years"

when we lived in SA.. whenever I heard that song I would end up in tears...my Dad was in UK and I was over there.....we used to belong to a football club...all expats...and whenever there was a function they would always finish with that song.....not a dry eye in the place.

Theres also a Phil Collins one that has some special memories.....not sure about the title...but the words are "if leaving me is easy, then the coming back is harder"!!!!
"Baby's got blue eyes" - Elton John
"Candle in the wind" - Elton John
"My Black-eyed Boy" - Texas
"Seasons in the Sun", lots more - I'll add as I think along ........
There are a few that give me goosebumps:

Bedshaped - Keane
Bed of Roses - Bon Jovi
Endless Road - Time Bandits
Africa - Toto
Hey You - Pink Floyd
Sweet Soul Sister - The Cult

Classical:

Con Te Partiro (Time To Say Goodbye) - Andrea Bocelli
Symphony No. 7 In A-Major Op. 92, Allegretto - Beethoven
Capriccio Italian - Tchaikovski
Romeo & Juliet Overture - Tchaikovski
It's amazing & wonderful how certain songs can bring back memories.
And give you those Goosebumps.

don't know so much about that, when I sang it at our kid's local kindergarten they looked more at me as though I was mad, than one affected by goosebumps

Duckie duckie duckie....

any poor kid having to endure a session of a duck on helium trying to warble through a national anthem in a foreign language is almost guaranteed to bring the odd giggle... Wink :innocent:

Just picturing it has almost made me splutter my morning coffee :haha:

Though I must add that remembering the freedom marches from outside the Cape Tech in the early 90's with 10 000 singing native voices was something indeed! :thumbs:

As for the goosebumps.. there are some songs I can add:

The tearful ones..
* 'Don't give up' - I think Sarah Brightman and Aaron Neville?
* 'Everybody hurts' - REM
* 'Tears in Heaven' - Eric Clapton

Some nostalgic ones...
* 'With or without you' - U2
* 'Somebody' - Depeche Mode
* 'Living a boy's adventure tale' - Aha

and a whole host of classical music
