There used to be a radio 4 programme with this name.
It was about those pieces of music that, when you hear them, send tingles down your spine. I don't know about everyone else, but for me it's a wash of emotion that seems to originate in my spine and flood my body. (No smutty comments, please!)
I'll start the ball rolling.
1) Judie Tzuke - Stay with me till dawn - the final chord
2) Eagles - Desperado - Doolin'Dalton-Desperado(Reprise) "stole your dreams and paid you with regret...Desperado"
3) Bizet - Carmen - Intermezzo from Act III - timpani climax about 4/5 the way through
4) (new one) Gustavo Santaolalla - The wings - (Final waltz from Brokeback Mountain) - when the rest of the band join the guitarist
If we all swap, maybe we might each discover new 'spine tinglers' for ourselves.
