I get chills when listening to certain songs. The songs that immediately come to mind are Boyz II Men’s “On Bended Knee” (the two half-step modulations), Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” (“poor meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee”), Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror” (too numerous to mention), and Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” (the key change right after the big pause).
I can tell you that a song six decades old now, Deep Purple's "Child In Time," still to this day gives this old rocker chills every time I hear the opening notes. It also triggers emotions and memories of events that harken back to times when I heard the song played. Memories that were otherwise long forgotten, which fits in line with your hypothesis. For me one of the fascinations with music, especially live music, is that it is a single moment in time that can never be duplicated. Sure it can be recorded and replayed, but the emotion and the feeling are a single time event that can change with the environment of subsequent performances. It's hard to explain.
Novelty in music often elicits a stupefying emotion in me. Close to goosebumps but not as intense as it would be with cold or actual chill weather. Most recently it was hearing a cover of a song with both bands being my favorites, there’s also hearing some cult classics for the first time and loving them as much as everybody before and in the future is definitely worth goosebumps 🙏
I have experienced these with many songs across different genres, but the strongest so far and most reliable is the key change towards the end of "All By Myself" by Celine Dion. It's sometimes like a mild euphoric high in the right circumstances. I really enjoyed your video and subbed, I look forward to seeing more from your channel 👍👍
Also, music can be a survival aspect, as it can count as recognition of mating calls of predators, ignoring any social factors such as warning sounds or marching tunes or biorhythms
I get goosebumps from lots of music mostly classical piano, I also am able to voluntarily induce goosebumps whenever I want which I have been able to do for as long as I remember, it was thought to be impossible but many claim to be able to do it there is little research done but its thought to be rare.
Great coverage of theories. I would postulate that chills are one particular emotional state of many that are invoked by the right music for a particular person. The closest I get to this is an intense emotional state evoked by music that accompanies a scene in an Apollo 11 launch sequence in a documentary I watch. It's not chills, but its arguably the same thing happening - an intense takeover of the brain by the emotional system. In this case, triumph of human engineering over the physical dangers involved. My non-chills, intense emotion, I would assume happens to focus all the brain's resources on something, someone, or some cultural goals. Very interesting stuff to think about !
Thank you MT. Really enjoyed the video. I don't really get chills per se, but I do get a bit of a tingling feeling when I listen to certain pieces of instrumental music.
It randomly happens to me in different songs, mostly I guess in theatrical sections and/or I really connect to the song. Mostly I guess in Tool, Hans Zimmer, Death grips, some Power Metal and Rap with theatrical sections. Also sometimes with Psytrance or some deep house. But usually it happens with songs I haven’t heard a lot in the last months.
I don't rlly recall having goosebumps. But i do get a tingling sensation at the back of my head. For me, It is triggered generally by classical music with strong, beautiful vocals. So its mostly classic disney songs lol. I get these sensations from asmr too, but rarely.
I get this feeling alot but I always found the most consitant tends to be live performances. the best one being the vulfpeck cory wong live at madison sqaure garden string solo
Two songs that hit me with chills eery time are We all lift together, from Warframe, and Hopes and Dreams, from Undertale Posted this less than a min into the vid, curious to see how this reflects on me
The stave curved into the shape of the letter C in this video is wrong, due to the fact that it has seven lines when there should only be five, and six spaces when there should only be four. IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that you get ALL of your facts straight, ESPECIALLY where music is concerned as it IS INFINITELY BY FAR THE MOST IMPORTANT SUBJECT OF THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

I get it from specific circumstances
Never Enough from the movie The Greatest Showman gives me chills nearly every time, and at several times throughout the song
great example

Yes, so true! I love that perspective
I don't often get chills from music but when I do it's most commonly triggered by opera.

I can control it. I do it when I want to fall asleep fast

Supplemental visuals can definitely make a difference!
An excellent presentation of this topic!
Thank you kindly!
Certain music sequence that really stands out to me causes goosebumps on the back of my head. Rarely with visuals, almost always music.

First 13 seconds of this still gives me slight goosebumps, not as much as it used to when it first came out.

I felt the exact same with the Hunchback of Notre Dame, I played it heaps on my VHS to 90s kids has the best movies and music and storytelling
Yes 🤩🤩
Richard Wagner was a master of chilling music.
He was!
If you listen to Tchaikovsky’s Cherubic Hymn, it will definitely give you chills!
Tchaikovsky was incredible!
its not my favourite genre but, quite slow, very loud shoegazey stuff triggers this feeling the most for me👍 thanks by the way, very cool video

This effect is very specific to certain songs, and not common amongst music in general
I experience this a lot.
What kind of music do you listen to?
I found a recent song that does this to me, Stand Up by Cynthia Erivo seemed the Harriet movie. Oh and Uptown Funk 😊
Hans Zimmer is most likely the MEC induction master
He is legendary!
I get that all the time ngl, even from just stupid joke/parody songs LOL
Same 🤣
6:03 im sorry since when was this video filled with lies and misinformation
lmao
It doesn't happen to everyone?
Apparently not 😳😳
Thank you but please have audio louder? It’s too quiet. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes!
