Almost every time i listen to prog i get this feeling when you get it when you are in love for the first time in your life. Im just wondering if any other prog rocker had such a feeling before while listening to prog

Not prog in general, but it has to be that special kind of prog or music in general. You get these goosebumps all over your body and you get a head rush, adrenaline rush, and you feel ELATED and happier. Seriously this is the reason I listen to music.
Like the end of Drunkship of Lanterns by Volta. DAAAAMMMMN.
And this only happens for moments but its when that music matches music you have heard in your dreams before and you know it is something you love and will always love.
I seriously feel as though I'm in love with music.

I get that when listening to prog. It happens a lot for classical music, too. |

Sadly, I rarely get this feeling, and goosebumps too. Even when I'm listening to my favorite songs, I very rarely feel anything special physically. But inside, I burrrrn.

I listen to a lot of different styles of music, but prog (and some prog-metal) is most guaranteed to give me goosebumps. Depends on which kind of prog---symphonic and some eclectic will do it, some prog-metal too, and heavy prog. Classical does sometimes, if I'm in the right mood. Some jam bands' compositions will send chills down my spine, like Phish's more complex and epic works. I also like jazz and funk, and they give off different vibes and energies. On rare occasions, I've gotten goosebumps from that, mostly from Miles Davis, or the more prog-oriented jazz-rock/fusion bands.

I've had goosebumps before but it isn't particular to prog. Some classical music has had that effect on me. It diminished over time. I can't recall it happening recently. The older one gets the less likely it will occur. You will also probably notice an acceleration of your feeling of time passing as you get older. Not related, but just wait.

I get that sort of feeling at climatic moments in my favorite Hammill songs. Like in A Louse is not a Home when he goes "What is this place you call home?...", it's a kind of euphoric spot for me. Well - that's Hammill's stuff, it's always resonated with me deeply on all kinds of levels, but generally I'm not that excitable, even if I'm drowning in aesthetic pleasure from the music, it doesn't get anywhere near that intesity of nearly physical feeling.

Not really. Sometimes when I listen to a truly great and/or mind-blowing album for the first few times, yes, but usually not "tingly".

I do from the prog I listen to. 70s and early 80s. The great melodies and musicianship. But I dont get shivers from wetton crimson or gabriel genesis much.

Usually only if it is something new that I had never heard of before and it knocks my lights out. This rarely happens. It can also happen when I have not heard something in a long time but it is great. For example, I just got a new copy of The Wall and it has been knocking my socks off. I have not listened to the whole thing in years. There are some pieces and moments by Vangelis that send to tingles all through me almost all the time. Song of White from Antarctica is one of them that really stands out.

Yes, something like this. It's a feeling that I have only with prog, but I wouldn't describe it as "tingly". I'm not talking about goosebumps, that also happen to me. I think it's another confirm that music is a huge part of me.

Yeah, I've had the feeling... but as a matter of fact, some pop songs can do the same for me. Well, not exactly the same, I guess the prog moments are stronger, but the pop moments come more often. However, prog (specially symphonic prog) does something else... I can't quiet describe it, but it is like reaching such heights of beauty that I am just numb by what I'm hearing... perhaps I could say that such moments make me feel "Comfortably Numb".

Yeah, sure, i get that feeling.
Sometimes when i listen to the right music at the right time, i get a kind of "Man, is it ever great to be alive, and this music is why!" feeling that is both physical and mental at the same time. In prog, it happens a lot with the music of Triumvirat/Helmut Koellen for me especially and in classical with the composers Berlioz and Bruckner. But it has to be at the right time and mood-(though i am not what you would call a moody person, really) |
