Songs that give you Goosebumps

Every year at Christmastime, I hear this song and it brings tears to my eyes. Her voice is so freaking beautiful and you know, it's the time of year..

Not a song, but a band. Our band. The Royal Marines. This week is the annual ceremony of Beating the Retreat on Horseguards Parade in London and it is the turn of the RMs.
These guys really give me goose bumps, especially when we parade with them. Nothing quite like marching behind a band like this:

Joan Baez has a voice that is timeless...I love her rendition of Josh Ritter's song "Wings...

...And at last we saw some people
Huddled up against
The rain that was descending like railroad spikes and hammers
They were headed for the border
Walking and then running
And then they were gone into the fog but Anne said
Underneath their jackets she saw wings
 
Also....Bobby Darin...If I were a Carpenter...

The water is wide, I can't cross over
and neither I have wings to fly
give me a boat that can carry two
and both shall row - my love and I

Now love is gentle, and love is kind
the sweetest flower when first it's new
but love grows old, and waxes cold
and fades away like morning dew

There is a ship, she sails the sea
she's loaded deep as deep can be
but not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim

The water is wide, I can't cross over
and neither I have wings to fly
give me a boat that can carry two
and both shall row - my love and I
and both shall row - my love and I

These two always bring tears to my eyes...they are based on true stories.

There were roses...

New goosebumps song for me. I'd heard the song and loved it, but not seen the video. It works for me.
