Yup, brass is good.

However, for a goose pimple moment, have you listened to Sinead O'Connor's rendition of Danny Boy? It's AWESOME!

A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

Pay attention at 4 minutes in, & be aware that Keith is playing this with the keyboard BACKWARDS! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVkR8MlZqR4

When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Big Brass my ass, Mexican trumpets more like

On a more serious note, The sax break by Wes Magoogan (spelling) in Hazel O'connors single Will you
In fact lots of melancholy tennor sax solos make me go all shivery in a nice way.

Personally, I much prefer the version by Eva Cassidy - she had a wonderful voice

Wow - that was incredible, thanks. I've seen them a few times and they are just as incredible in person. It's amazing how much agility he has - and how old is he?

There must be thousands of bits of music that do this. I like the way it can be just a few seconds of a track, even just a single line or a chord change. And even in a song you don't otherwise like.

These come to mind straight away - be interested to know if anyone agrees:

Martha Wainwright's Ball & Chain. The lead in to the chorus with those escalating piano chords - ('Why does this always happen?')

Britney's Toxic. I hated this when I first heard it, but within a few listens I thought it was genius. There's a breakdown at the start of the final chorus, and then back into that fantastic groove. That's the bit that does it for me.

Goldfrapp's Lovely Head. The one with the whistling, as used on some TV advert or other. The whistling is shivery enough, but there's a noise that appears after the first verse (about a minute in) that sounds kind of like distorted electric guitar, but I think is actually her voice put through a guitar effect. Still unsettling and beautiful after a hundred replays.

John Murphy's In the House - In A Heartbeat. First heard this on a car advert but it's from the 28 Days Later soundtrack. It's got a really simple motif but it just keeps building through the track. Dramatic and compelling.
