Chills

[ohchaucer 1444]

I started a thread at the old place about "songs that my you say holy shit" but thought I'd amend it over here to be a little more specific to the intent.... really, just points in songs that make you say holy shit, but also maybe what the fuck, and, ultimately, just gives you chills.  For me it's usually just tiny little sounds or licks that are just kinda perfect.  Here's my first example to get it going:

Lots to love about this clip, but there's just a special moment - at 4:30-4:34 where it's the most perfect Leo Kottke lick over Lyle's song.  Even Lyle nearly cracks when he hears it.

PS - how do I embed video?

The band grooves incredibly hard, Lalah Hathaway's singing is unbelievable, and then there are the multiphonics at the end. She sings 3 notes at once and outlines the chord changes.

I love this song and especially this performance.  Alice is having to read the lyrics off a sheet on the floor but when she kicks in at 5:10, everytime.

I had never heard of her before catching her accidentally on ACL on PBS.  I would've killed to have seen that show live.

If this music gives you goosebumps, you might have a special brain

Think of your favourite piece of music, and think about how you might react to it.

If you’re having trouble, have a listen to this spine-tingling vocal version of Elgar’s Nimrod, by Voces8:

Did you feel chills, a lump in your throat, or perhaps a tingling sensation on the back of your neck? Then you might have a more unique brain than you think.

A study, carried out by PHD student Matthew Sachs at the University of Southern California, has revealed that people who get chills from music might have structural differences in their brain.

The research studied 20 students, who listened to three to five pieces of music. Ten of the students admitted to feeling shivers, while the other ten didn’t. The researchers then took brain scans of all the participants.

“[The ten who felt shivers] have a higher volume of fibres that connect their auditory cortex to the areas associated with emotional processing, which means the two areas communicate better,” Matthew told Neuroscience News. These ten participants also had a higher prefrontal cortex, which is involved in certain areas of understanding, like interpreting a song’s meaning (Quartz).

“People who get the chills have an enhanced ability to experience intense emotions,” Sachs said. “Right now, that’s just applied to music because the study focused on the auditory cortex. But it could be studied in different ways down the line,” he pointed out.

The study also found that people who are open to experience – as well as people who have more musical training – are more likely report strong emotional responses.

If you didn’t feel chills at the first piece, have a listen to this impromptu moment of Nordic vocal music, from Åkervinda. It might just tease out a few goosebumps...

Random notes:

1.  I continue to be committed to drinking Grace Potter's bathwater

2.  when she tries to dance like Stevie Nicks, she's mostly a stripper (not a criticism)

3.  12-string Les Paul (is there a different name for that?)

4.  WTF is that sound that's sorta like a talkbox?  Is that a keyboard?  Is there a guitarist offstage?

[jimmyjazz 47127]

Oh, there it was, just before 7:00 a shot of some dude doing a talk-box kind of thing.  

EDIT:  it's the keyboardist.  Just ignore me.
