4st 7lb from 3:20 onwards. Simply astounding! Perfect combination of poetry and music.

I suppose the one time I really had manics goosebumps to the point of tears was when they played Solitude Sometimes Is in Wolverhampton 2011. I love the song, and hadn't seen any setlist spoilers so had no idea it was coming and I was just over the moon. I never thought I'd see it really.

That was a highlight for me too. I never expected it, so it just hit me.

Ooh! Good thread! There are so many:

The opening chords and the ending a cappellas of If You Tolerate This. (Someone here said the world stops when Tolerate begins. I agree. It remains suspended when it ends too.)

"Most bands have no respect for us at all" in Askew Road
(Tragic, warm like tears on a cheek)

"So drop your bombs on all I see..." in Solitude Sometimes Is.
(The whole verse and then the chorus too. A rapturous, glorious, poetic high-note, expertly built towards)

"Only sixteen years of age, he said" in 1985
(Really drives home that feeling of lost youth in a yearning, boyish detail.)

"Love built around the sandy beaches..." in The Love of Richard Nixon
(Some ominous, warm, otherworldy shit right there.)

"Maybe at the time it felt like dreaming" in All Feeling No Surface
(Positively stratospheric. Just unbelievable HIGH)

"I want the world to see all the love and security, my childhood dreams" in Rewind The Film
(It's almost not fair. No other singer and no other band would get away with that stuff, but James just fucks EVERYTHING up with that line.)

"I will bring the whole edifice down on their unworthy heads" in Ready For Drowning
(Just fury, somehow lends devine justice to the listener. Also, one of the best lines in any movie.)

"Sun breaks and cloudbursts" in Door To The River
(Simply astonishing)

Obvious, and i've tried to think of different songs but nothing gave me goosebumps more than hearing *libraries gave us power, Then work came and made us free* for the first time.

Still get them if i haven't heard the song for a long time

I agree with all the above. Also My Guernica when James answers the phone (ring ring, ring ring....'ello) and the massive outro that follows

Awww .... Midnight Sun is so beautiful. Especially when guitar solo begins and I love these lines

It all ends where it all began
In the shadow of the midnight sun


And this one:

Time keeps us beneath, while autumn sheds its leaves

Methadone Pretty, especially the "gonna stay a ..." part
Archives Of Pain, the unexpected beautiful "a drained white body ..." part
LBAL - "I don't wanna be a man"
And the best one: the break in I'm Just A Patsy with the sample
"crucifixion is the easy life" in Doors Closing Slowly

What manics songs and bits give you that same feeling?

The bit specificly was Starbright keep me safe, today and tonight
No water tastes like lemonade
Slowly slowly it starts to fade
no offence, but what you call second verse I'd call first chorus

no wonder we have so different opinions then. ;-)

Especially the solo part from 4:20 to 5:15. My favourite guitar solo by JDB and it fits into the song perfectly.
