Let's have a thread of those songs that just sent a shiver through you and raise the hair on your arms.

I'll start: Johnny Cash - Hurt (turn it up).

This starts out classically and softly but builds up into a powerful rock crescendo.

For me the original does it nine inch nails has that manic frenzy to it.

Although the johnny cash version is brilliant as well, I find I get twitchy listening to the original NIN version

Lorelli!

What I love about these songs is that just when you think they're done, they kick in again and just keep going.
