Some songs give me goosebumps when I listen to them. I can feel the skin on the back of my neck tighten, and a tingle spread up the back of my head and down my back. Here’s a list of such songs (in no particular order):

  • The Heart Asks Pleasure First / The Sacrifice - Michael Nyman (from The Piano)

  • Images - Bel Canto
  • A Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton
  • White Houses - Vanessa Carlton

  • Behind Blue Eyes - The Who
  • I’m with you - Avril Lavigne
  • Nobody’s Wife - Anouk
  • High - Amber Filter (from a University of Westminster promotional CD called this cd is shite)
  • Gonna Get Close To You - Dalbello (from Womanfoursays)
  • All I Know - Anneli Drecker (from Tundra)
  • The Dam at Otter Creek - Live (from Throwing Copper)

    It was worth the wait in the Michael Nyman concert today for the tunes he played from “The Piano.” Actually he hit a few wrong notes whilst playing “the heart asks pleasure first.” But I did get him to sign your Piano book.
