Goosebump moments in Prince songs Are there any parts of a Prince song that no matter how many times you listen to it, it always gives you goosebumps because it's just so awesome and the gift taht just keeps on giving
Some of mine are:
1. Call My name...the end part where his voice goes high and he really pushes the song to another level
2. Rock hard in a funky place- the guitar solo. fking genius.
3. Come- The buld up at the end after the interlude when P goes yeahhh you should do that baby, oh yes oh yeah oh yes. Come you should do that baby yh yh yh yh yh yh oh yh woooooh! no more no more..
4. My love is forever- Singing just before and the final guitar solo...wow Prince. just wow!
5. Extrodinary- at the end when he is in a sweet falsetto "Time, everything else when U r near...."
6. Tamborine. All of it. Puts me in a goosebump trance. | |

everytime i listen to "The Beautiful Ones" ending, it strikes me with the same intensity as the first time I heard it. -- Two less common chioices also are -- "Man O' War"....when he segues from"loving you is a waste of time" to "I need to get out of this city, I need to get you out of my head" the sincerity unnerves me. -- "U Make My Sunshine"...fuck me, I love that chorus | |

This is a beautiful sentiment that I share. Prince and his music has been a gift to my life. [Edited 1/10/14 8:49am] | |

When the song Purple Rain comes to a heartbreaking resolve...I sob like a fucking baby.
Power Fantastic...the trumpet accentuating Prince's tender and spooky voice. Goosebumps.
Sometimes it Snows...."heeee used to say, OHHHH, NOT AFRAID TO DIE, UNFRAID..."
Here on Earth...."she curses the day she ever met u, then she wishes she was never born..."
"RIIIIISE, RAINBOW CHILDREN....RIIIIISE!!!!"
How the tune Lion of Judah starts to rock out......
"But first I must do a fitting..." O.N.A
You know, I could go on and on and on and on.....makes me fucking love this guy again.

Condition of the Heart, the piano intro is haunting
Purple Rain, the opening cords and the ending with the strings
Around the World in a Day, because I still remember the night I bought it, and put it on
Power Fantastic, just the whole thing is fantastic, then I found the intro piece too
Sometimes It Snows In April, the simple touch of it, the sadness it all feels so real
Everywhere, the utopia hopefullness makes me happy
Planet Earth, the 2nd half chorus and instruments turned up takes me away | |

One of 2 different videos I have seen of "Live 4 Luv" sends chills through me as soon as the first chord is hit. The ending does that, too.
In "The War" there is a guitar solo that he does that is absolutely spine-tingling for me. No matter your age, pursue your dreams so that you will LIVE. | |

from a performing perspective... Playing the ending build on "Beautiful Ones" to a packed stadium was indescribable. The Cross was a bit like that too, and the reaction coming out and opening an encore playing the 1999 hook was crazy. (there are others, but that's what comes to mind) 20 years ago and I still get shivers thinking about those. GOOD GAWD -MBN [Edited 1/10/14 16:09pm] | |

For me it's mostly Prince's vocals that do it because it's my favorite part. And he's everywhere so. Lol What? | |

Those are all great ones. Man O' War is so underrated, and U Make My Sunshine is amazing. That vocal arrangement is just stunning. * * *

There were already so many great ones mentioned! . One that gets me EVERY TIME is the straight guitar solo version of "Days O Wild" at the end of the first 'Ahdio Show' from the NPGMC. . When i hear it all the way through without distraction, i will literally shed tears. How he "dances around" a single note with pure... like, ya know... what?! . Prost! "Whatever skin we're in
we all need 2 b friends" | |

I actually get goosebumps when I watch P perform SISTER, THE CROSS (end part) & Adore (when cat is on the swings "She don't know..") on the Lovesexy tour dvd
Oldie but goodie for goosebumps is the performance of Darling Nikki in the PR movie. The intensity and expression on Appollonia face and Jerome's..amazing moving making and P's performance is...well he's in rare form
The one/falling in love live performance...wow
The whole dirt mind music video
The bootleg performance of head from 1980 I think where he wears a shredded greed top heels and spandex hold ups
The end guitar solo of Bambi -album version
