Sometimes without words has more emotion
Sometimes without words has more emotion
I find myself getting goosebumps from songs all the time. Most recently it was "Love on Top" by Beyonce. I'd like to imagine she just went into the studio and nailed that on the first take. It's a cheesy pop song, but in the last 50 years only B, Whitney, or Diana Ross could have pulled it off.
Similarly, everything I listen to "I Want You Back" by the Jackson 5, and it gets to the part where Michael to the "Oh, darlin' I was blind to let you goooo-ooo-ooo--oo!" part, I lose it. My favorite vocal line ever recorded.
Billie Jean by Michael Jackson

There was always a fine line between Cornell and Michael Bolton, and with that he crossed it.

I always thought Everclear's music was a bit kitschy, but those are powerful lyrics on their own. As many times as I've heard the song I've never let the words sink in.

Cat's in the Cradle

That was incredible. Thanks for introducing me to such a great artist.
For me it has to be

"Mining for Gold" from the Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions album does it for me. The video doesn't add anything for me, this is best listened to in a dark room, but the song can be found here:

Ironic - I find the next song on the album "Misguided Angel" has that effect on me.
