You know those songs that have a part of the song that literally makes your hair stand on end? It may be something simple like a verse or certain instrument that just gets you and you don't know why?

First on my list is this. The piano that comes in around 2:45 just blows me away with it's simple elegance.

Isn't this like the "Erabarrassingly Bad Parts" thread?

Whatever, I'll bite.

I was excited to hear a song like this, because I think every good rock band, especially a band like Killswitch, should have a slow song. And then the song kept going.

Jackhammer is talking about that part of a certain song that is so perfectly executed that it makes your hair stand on end. It's supposed to be a good thing.


edit: Not trying to be obnoxious; from what she wrote it just looks like she misunderstood the original post.
 
since you started with radiohead i will follow with my hair-raising choice and a favourite from back in 'the day'. They have quite a few in their canon though, hon. menshun: YouTube - Radiohead Go To Sleep

actually i would say the former is a hair-raiser, the latter more of a gut-wrencher (the best part being when the harmonies kick in at 1:57)

The following verse is absolutely incredible, and delivered perfectly. Always raises my hairs when I hear this one.

When I am on a pedestal,
You did not raise me there.
Your laws do not compel me
To kneel grotesque and bare.
I myself am the pedestal
For this ugly hump at which you stare.

Starting from about 1:30. It's one of those songs that make you want to hit the gas in your car and blow through red lights.

edit: nuts, trying to figure out how to post the video

edit: Got it, and thanks NuraberNineDream.
 
^No prob.

I wanted to post a youtube link, but couldn't find any for that song.
It's old man by Love.

in the sentence "I know the old man would laugh" [1:31], never fails to give me the chills.
