This is a mixtape of songs that gave me the chills the first time I heard them. In fact, most of them still get me all tingly. The reasons for such vary between songs, although I noticed a decent amount have a relationship dynamic to them. Maybe those feelings spewed forth more intensely from the artists, maybe its purely coincidence, or maybe I'm a big pussy and thats what hits me. Either way, these songs do the trick. There are others out there, but these are the ones that were currently on the mind...
tracklist
| 1 | Explosions In The Sky... : First Breath After Coma |
|
First time I heard this song it blew me away. Amazingly beautiful guitars with driving marching drums. Great production as well. Love how the guitars pan back and forth. Just after 3:17 is where it hits.

I loves me some Pearl Jam like non other and this song is beautiful/powerful/sad/angy/etc. If this song can't penetrate your cold heart, nothing will.

| 3 | A Perfect Circle : 3 Libras |
|
As my usual custom, right after buying this cd I plopped it in my player, threw on my headphones, layed down and immersed myself in the goodness. This track started and I was instantly sucked in. Then,out of nowhere, bam! At the 2 minute mark Maynard sings the most intensely beautiful lines of music I've ever heard.

| 4 | Nine Inch Nails : The Fragile |
|
Another one of these sappy songs. I'm sorry but it absolutely fucks my shit up. Very raw, yet tender. Kills me the last screaming section of "I wont let you fall apart."

| 5 | Radiohead : Exit Music (For A Film) |
|
This is the most melancholy sounding song I've ever heard. If a song would ever make me cry by feeling alone, this would be it. In fact, It probably will someday. The build up to 3:21 makes me all tense then his dark, broken lines: "we hope that you choke" shoot a chill right down my spine. Great great song on one of the best albums of all time.

| 6 | Porcupine Tree : Heartattack In A Layby |
|
This song has the ability to simultaniously make me feel good and like complete shit. One of Porcpine Tree's most beautful songs and very hard hitting. The ending with repating lines of "she waits for me" mixed with "we'll grow old together" mixed with Steven's waivering voice over the top is absolutely intense for lack of a better word at the moment.

| 7 | Live : T.B.D |
|
Deep inside, beyond a collection of cheesiness and girl-driven poprock, is an amazing band with amazing songs. Unfortunately they've managed to bury a lot of the goodness. This song will knock you out of your seat in one second. I would give anything to see them perform this in a small, dark room with a handfull of people. This song is very quiet and sparse - driven by the bass at first, but then at 3:21, his voice raises with "but i don't need a book. no..." and it gets fucking intense and then dies back out shortly.

| 8 | Neurosis : The Eye of Every Storm |
|
This song is amazing on so many different levels. The vibe of the music, the haunting moans, and Scott Kelly's intense bellows of "Now oath breaker sinks low" result in a song that can grab you at any moment.

| 9 | 13 & God : Soft Atlas |

This is my favorite track off of 13&goD. This song gives me the chills in the "holy shit this is good" way. Great lyrics, solid delivery and the canon at the end blew me away.

| 10 | Eyedea & Abilities : Glass |
|
For the most part, I'm not a big fan of Eyedea's lyrics. In fact, I generally think they suck. However, this song is both solid lyrically and in the delivery. That combined with awesome production by Abilities makes for a great song and end to the E&A album. The build-up and let-off at the end is epic.

| 11 | Pink Floyd : Wish You Were Here |

I heart Pink Floyd like no other and this is one of my favorite songs. I could go on for days about this song, but you know. I know you know. I know you. I know you better than you think I know you. Anyways, the last run through the chorus is what fully gets me tingly. Great, great song.

This is a great concept -- my best friend and I for years have had a category of songs known to us as "the-give-you-chills," but it's never occurred to me to compile them... very cool.

Mixtape Potpourri II: Third Place
Does anyone else find it weird that both the radiohead and live song peak at 3:21?
Nice mix

I connect with this mix totally. It's that spine tingling feeling that I hunt out when looking for music, anything to give me that quick fix.

Every cover of Wish You Were Here is great, but nothing compares to Pink.
Eyedea, can't stand his voice but lyrically I think he's got it and Abilities always delivers.
APC, Radiohead and Pearl Jam, yes yes. Great mix!

good mix...I like all the songs.
I think you cheat.
Actually, I don't really care for Live...although I do remember you playing me that song at Sun River and it seemed to be one of their better ones.
+5 for songs/flow/desc/cover, -8 for misspellings and poor grammar!!!!
+7 for being a nazi, +1 for being an asshole.

I definitely like this mix, and agree with you about Live. I used to be a fan of them back in hs, but relistening to the vast majority of their discography now just pains me. There is the occasional good song though, for sure. And Ed Kowalczyk was in Fight Club.

Yes! I was gonna give you =5 just for the art, but then the mix was good as well.
