which songs gives you "'goosebumps''

There are a lot of songs that give me goosebumps, but the most consistent artist that does so currently is Devin Townsend.  Oh, and King Crimson of course.

It's almost a bit of a trainwreck but somehow it works.  // < ="text/" ="https://ajax.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/s/04b3eb47/cloudflare-static/mirage2.min.js">  That album sometimes gets a bad rap but that one track definitely saves it imo.  As for Frank the one by him that stands out for me is "Peaches en regalia."  Anyway, another one for me is "the fountain of lamneth part 1" by Rush(especially the first few minutes with the opening guitar riff).  Yeah Peaches is obviously a well loved classic by Frank. So is Inca Roads. But he has so many great tunes, almost impossible to pick just one.. for me anyway. I'll have to check out that Rush song sometime. I do like them, just a little burned out on them(Floyd same).

Wow, I've had goosebumps from so many songs, but I'll pick out a couple:

Yes - "And You And I". The part where the music swells and Jon comes in with "Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid. Emotion revealed is the ocean maid". Gets me every time, even after 30 years.

VdGG "La Rossa" from "Still Life".
"Drown me drown me now and hold me down before your naked hunger, burn me on the altar of the night. Give me life!"
That powerful sense of longing for something seemingly unobtainable, but which will provide ultimate meaning and fulfillment.
Such a powerful emotion and certainly gives me shivers.

Also, from the same album, the ending of "Childlike Faith in Childhoods End":
"And though dark is the highway, and the peaks distance breaks my heart, for I never shall see it still I play my part. Believing that what waits for us is the cosmos compared to the dust of the past. In the death of mere humans life shall start."
Powerful stuff that never fails to bring a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye.

Treatise of Cosmic Fire by Todd Rundgren 

[Genesis: First of Fifth - You know the part ]

Three that come to mind for me are While My Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles, The title track to The Grand Wazoo by my man Frank, and The Dabsong Conshirtoe by Caravan.

Just today, the acoustic guitar and piano solos on Jean-Luc Ponty's "Gardens of Babylon".

The moments the fuzzy guitars start up in Can’s 19 Century Man, Amon Düül II’s Dem Guten, Schonen, Wahren, Tangerine Dream’s Journey Through A Burning Brain.
