Title: Song Lyrics That Give You Goosebumps
Post by: bgordebak on Mon 18/08/2014 11:06:00
There's a Turkish song, which everytime I listen, I get the goosebumps. I don't know if I can translate it well, but here you go:

Tell me a fairy tale, dad
Let there be all my games in it
Let there be wolf and the sheep
Sugar and honey

Tell me a fairy tale, dad
Let there be sea and the fish in it
Let there be rain and snow
The sun and the moon

Tell me a fairy tale, dad
Let there be all my loved ones in it
Let there be Istanbul

Take my hand while you're telling
Even if I fall asleep
Don't ever leave me

This ghazal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghazal) always give me goosebumps. The heart touching poetry of Mirza Ghalib (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghalib) coupled by the absolutely fantastic rendition of Jagjit Singh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagjit_Singh).

Here's the youtube video (with English Subtitles): http://youtu.be/Pb-AAPtbe-Q

And here's the high quality music (which the youtube video lacks): http://grooveshark.com/s/Aah+Ko+Chahiye/2IkVgL?src=5

"Baby, baby, baby, ohh
Like baby, baby, baby noo
Like baby, baby, baby ohh
Just shout whenever, and I'll be there"

And who can forget blink182's bewitching wordsmithery:

"Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, turd, and twat (x4)"

Mike and the Mechanics - The Living Years (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGDA0Hecw1k) used to give me goosebumps, but now I think it's pure cheese.
