I have a small list of songs that no matter how many times I hear them, I either get goosebumps or chills or teary eyes, or something. The top one on my list is:

"Wild Horses" and it doesn't matter who sings it.

What about you? Any songs you always get amazed by?

Rocky Top. No seriously, I have it on my ipod and I don't care where I am, when I listen to it I smile like an idiot.

Same with the Alma Mater, but different effect -- I get all teary eyed.

Also on the teary-eyed lists: Mary, Did You Know; In My Mind; a song called Zion by the Fallon Franklin band.

My wife dreads that song every Christmas, just bawls like a baby.

I can still remember seeing Lee Greenwood perform that at halftime during the Sugar Bowl when I was a kid. Sang it the next year in the Liberty Bowl too. Great song.


EDIT: I won't list them all, but a few songs get to me that my friend used to listen to. He died in a car wreck in "96.

I got chills when he performed at halftime of a UT game (want to say it was 2004). 100,000+ standing and singing along.

This is going to sound cheesy. But, you know that "riff" or whatever you call it, in Elton John's "Rocket Man", the part where it sort of takes off? I get chills when I hear that for some reason.
