Songs to send chills down your spine
Basically, songs that are more than just something to carelessly sing along to. Songs to, I don't know... evoke strong emotional reactions in you. Good or bad. You get the point, right?
For utter morbidity and shame: Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit
For heartfelt emotion and amazing voice: Antony & The Johnsons - Cripple and the Starfish
For great sense of atmosphere: Anna von Hausswolff - Gloomy Sunday
You go!

Definitely this. You should also check out Jeff Buckley's version!Originally Posted by Rantzien
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
this song gives me goosebumps every single time i hear it: halo - beyonce
if finding love is just a dance, proximity and chance, you will excuse me if i skip the masquerade
Oh, Jesus Mary Joseph! There are many.. too many to mention even.
The ones I can think of right now:
Kate Bush - The Sensual World
Cat Power - The Greatest
Martha Wainwright - Factory
Antony And The Johnsons - Man Is The Baby
Beirut - Elephant Gun
The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize?
The Jesus And Mary Chain - Just Like Honey
Scott Matthew - In The End
...there are many others out there! "Cripple and the Starfish" is also a good one.
Pretty much anything by Cat Power gives me chills.
And for some reason, Kids by MGMT. The music video didn't help. These are creepy chills.
