We all know it. Most of us listen to a particular track and it's, like, 'Wow!' - something hits the spot.

Which part of any track sends shivers down your spine?

When I first heard the "...like an echo" part of 'When Eye Lay My Hands On U' I literally had tears in my eyes and a great big smile on my face. Ridiculous! Nothing can explain it; just gives me goosebumps. It was one of those moments when you remember why you love Prince so much.

When I first heard "I like It There" from Chaos & Disorder I was like wow and I had the shivers down my spine ...yes ...
Also the first time I heard Mariah Carey singing My All live was very cool, she has such a powerful voice, now if only she could get her act 2gether and record some decent music...
almost the whole "Low" album by Bowie sends shivers down my spine it's such a huge album, almost unmatched!!!
U2's Until the end of the world -. the line " in my dreams i was drowning my sorrows, but my sorrows learned 2 swim, surrounding me, going down on me, spilling over the brim"
pure class lyrics!!!

Peace

The Flute/Vocal crescendo of Power Fantastic.

Getsmeeverytime.

Got to be as 'The Sensual Everafter' builds to, and then reaches it's climax. Wow!

First time I heard the vamp at the end of 'Do Me Baby'.

They used to play that on the radio.

The very first time I heard "Everywhere" from TRC...whose crystal clear voice is that?!! It got me, grabbed me and blew me away...whew!!

Tina (~!~)

“Where in the world did you learn to put your arms around me, and cause my temerature to rise”

Space, universal love remix….

That whole song does it for me. One of those pure, magical Prince moments when it all came together at the right time and in the right place (remix or not!)

“Precious is the baby with the mother, it tells him that his saviour is coming soon” (Or something along those lines).

The Love we Make, Emancipation.

Great bit of a great song. Fantastic harmonies going on there. Shame the album was a bit of a let down on the whole.

The song “So Cruel’ by U2 on Achtung! Baby…… Fantasic. In fact that whole album is brilliant. A masterpiece. And I aint even a big U2 fan.

Smack my Bitch up, The Prodigy. The bit where the big beat stops and it builds up and then slams those drums back in… great stuff right there!….

I am, Im me, Twisted Sister. The whole song, although cliched somewhat now, is brilliant! Also Were not Gonna Take it and Under the Blade… Oh, how that brings back memories.

Killing me Softly, Fugees. Still brings goose bumps when its loud and full of bass.

“As I sit here on the stairs, id rather be alone, if I cant have you right now, ill wait here” Patience, Guns n Roses.

And finaly, as I cant think of anymore, When the sound is pumped to max, the bass is thumping and on comes ……. “Controversy”…. Amazing. Try that one when full of E and Charly……… Mind blowing.

that monent in eye hate u (album version) when p goes, "i want it to be so good she falls back in love with me..." WOW! what a bare confession, after all that braggadocio. totally unexpected. definitely chills up the spine.

The moment I heard savior I cried a few tears, not because it was a sad song but because, musically it was so beautiful it literally moved me to tears. FLSMW did it to me too.

Here are some ones -

The "hallway" speech in the extended version of the "Beautiful Ones"...

The last few words of "I Love U but I Can't Trust U Anymore" when he winds the song down...

The part in "Good Love" when he goes, "Baby, in the heat of the night - U know what to do." Those notes are perfect.

The entire album "Spilt Milk" by Jellyfish. The best album of the 90's hands down. Anyone know what I'm talking about???

The entire album "This Euphoria" by David Garza. Another obscure one but listen to the song "Discoball World". How did this not sell??? BTW, David covered "Boys and Girls" on the "Austin Sings Prince" tribute album.

The song called Wherever you go,What ever you do from Rave sends Chills down my spine, it is so beautiful and i think he is talking to me when he sings that song.it makes me love Prince all over again, and i love him anyway.and he amkes me feel real special.

Haystack said:

Yes, yes, yes...you took the words from my mouth. That's exactly what the whole song is; a climax...and it's a beautiful instrumental song, it doesn't need lyrics...

Loosekiss said: "Saviour' I agree

fms said: "Eye Hate U, ...she falls back in love with me..." Is a reminder of how 'underrated' a song can be, and also we I love Prince so much...

catPrince said: "Wherever U Go, Whatever U Do" you guys are reading my mind today...stop it!

"Right now Eye Hate U so much, I wanna make love, until you see, that it's killing me baby (to be without you), cuz all I ever wanted to do...was to bbeeeeaahhHHH WITH YOOOOOUUU! OOWW! Eye Hate U, because Eye Love U, but I can't love because I eye hate U..."

Gotta Love it!

ilike the opening and 1st verse of "if i was ur girlfriend"...amazing falsetto...also the entire hits/b-sides version of "power fantastic"...one of the lovliest ballads he's ever recorded

The part where Prince screams melodically and let's it all come out right before the guitar solo in Another Lonely Christmas...whew, that's still incredible.

catPrince said:

Thank you! Especially when he changes the melody to a higher register (whats the proper term?) on the last verse.

U2-Walk On, Ultravilolet, Bad live, With Or Without You.

Rolling Stones-Moneky Man, Let It Bleed, Gimme Shelter, Let It Loose, Little T&A

The opening to Lets Get It On by Marvyn

god there are so many more...Oh heres one. Youre The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me-Gladys Knight and the Pips. Yeah I said it.

FlyingCloudPassenger said:

Bingo g money---especially when he does the line "Last night I spent another lonely lonely xmas" for the last time. The way he enunciates and stress the words "lonmely" is gut wrenching. Church stuff.I got a story on that one but cant write it right now.

In Elton Johns "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" when he goes "Its 4 o'clock in the mornin', dammit, listen to me good! Im sleepin with my self tonight..sick n tired, thank god my musics still alive" and "all my friends, rollin round the basement floor"...and "sititn like a princess perched in he r elctric chair" and in Rainy Days n Mondays by The Carpenters when Ms Thing sings the part "Hangin arounddd".

Prince...when he says "Guitar and drums on the one" .. on Mountains and when he sings the last chorus to Contorversy he goes "Let me tell you"

All My Love by LedZep when Robert Plant goes "I get a little bit lonely, just a little.." at the end vamp

When Chrissy Hynde says "Im not the cat I used to be I got a kid Im 33 " in Middle Of The Road...

When at the beginning Run of Run-DMC goes "this speech is my recital, I think its very vital" in Its Tricky.

The opening licks to Walk This Way

from Prince, I think the 1st time was listening to "temptation" followed by #2 a couple minutes later on "condition of the heart"

I just got a shiver thinking about it

There's a certain haunting feeling to Anna Stesia, as if it's not a girl, but a spirit he wants to visit him.
"closer to ya higher self...i don't know, maybe...closer to heaven...closer to God...yeah closer to God".

That bit in Purple Rain when Prince finds his dad in the basement playing the instrumental part of Computer Blue solo on the Piano...beautiful

I always wanted a full piano version of this on CD...

*peace*

Om

The end of god instrumental (way back...last century I guess;-) ) that was a huge kick. That strong guitar in it...



-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
Last copies of the mix

He ain't heavy, he's my brother~Donny Hothaway---The way when he said 'he's my brother'.

Distant Lover(live)~Marvin Gaye---At the end when he was crying while singing "Please, p,,,lease OOooh please" is just Ooh.

Fire & Desire~Rick and Teena---Both of them when they started their own verse by saying "FIIIRRREEE" whhheeooo just remembring it right now give me mad chills.

Fool n' love(The movie version)~Tina Turner---The part when Lawrence(IKE) approach to Angela(Tina) and kissed her, after that she sang the intro so painfully "AAAaaahhh,,,something on my mind. Will somebody please, PLEASE! tell me whats wrong??" The part when she began by 'AAAahh' and said the 2nd "PLEASE!" is just speechless in the worst ways. I just fall in love with Tina just becoz if this simple part

Lead the way & Butterfly~Mariah Carey---At the end of the song damn this sistah. She know how to hit the ears like a bullet, its just she's fucking up and I really hate to see her like this becoz I trully Love her .

The Beautiful Ones

feltbluish said:

Yeah! This whole album just kept me glued to the speakers. It still does something to me everytime I hear it.

mrchristian said:

Yeah you're right...?

Blue

OmManiPadmeHum said:

Yes, that part of the movie does it for me too...also the part after he wrecks the basement, he wakes up with his boots still on and he plays a beautiful piano version of Purple Rain. I still rewind that atleast twice.

Blue

Almost the whole Lovesexy live video. That whole show is incredible.

The "please" scream in If I Was Your Girlfriend.

The scream in the middle of Something in the Water

That "Oh" part when he breaks it down on the Man O War remix

The wonderful exchange between guitar and strings on Pink Cashmere

The first time I saw the video for When I Lay My Hands on U, I was like "Whoa". Then the second verse, "The touch you're about to feel is the one you've been wishing for" DAMN

First time I heard Hot Wit U, I fogged up the windows in my car

The One when he sings low and the lyric "Treat every step you take as if you're walking on holy ground"

"What am I gonna do?" from Poom Poom

I can go on and on...

Oh yeah, when he's breaking shit in Purple Rain and he finds the sheet music.

The Lovesexy album. I was literally in tears by the end of side one.

The symbols in Paisley Park is absolutely Dreamlike whereas that song about Paisley Park being in all of our Hearts is Really significant on today's date 9-11.
