5957 - Induced Chills Reveal Brains Hidden Symphony


This is only 2 minutes long. It's about how certain songs or parts of songs can give you the chills. I have quite a few songs that do that for me.


Update - More info in the comments.

River - You need to find them and play them at least once a week.

Sue - You need to start a search.

Like River, I have a number of songs that give me chills. One of them is "Fields of Gold," by Sting. Interesting concept.

I like the expression "neural symphony." Don't most people get those shivers every once in awhile? I don't think it's all that unique.

Stu - I found Amy MacDonald doing "Flower of Scotland". I have many but one right now is Boston's "Don't Look Back".

Bill - Great song.

Deb - See what Sue said.

Shaw Kenawe said...

I've experienced this many times.

Mahler's "Adagietto" from his 5th symphony is one, and several pieces by Schubert, Mozart, Beethoven, Elgar, and other great composers.

Also the song "Happy Birthday," because I understand that I made it through another year.

I have lots of favorite songs, but none of them give me the chills.

Mike said...

Shaw - If I listen to enough music, it's every day for me.

Kathy - It works better for me if I listen to music alone.
