The Tingling Feeling
Created | Updated Oct 10, 2002
It is a truth universally acknowledged that every song in want of an audience will find a root into our hearts. Whether a song causes you to cry or you beam with happiness there is always an element with those few tracks that make you 'tingle'.
The Tingle
The 'tingle' is where you feel a rush of anticipation, a moment where the breath is drawn into your chest and it doesn't want to let go. The feeling where you can feel the music go from head to toe and back again, all from a small riff, a simple stum of the bass, the lyrics to the tune or the simple arrangement of notes. An almost electric feeling.
For this Researcher the two songs she knows for certain brings a tingle top to toe, are the introduction to 'Like Everyone She Knows' by James Taylor and 'In My Life' by The Beatles. Why do they make her tingle? She has no idea, but on hearing these tracks she can feel her heart in her throat.
Bubbling Emotions
Some pieces are so emotive they can provoke the unleashing of specific feelings to specific people.

How many times have you been talking to a coupled up friend and they tells them as the radio blares out the latest hit or the most sappy of love songs, that 'this is our song'.
