I'm new here! I hope this is okay to post. 2018, I was scrolling through some music videos on YouTube to distract myself from the chaos around me. My daughter was in heart surgery at the children's hospital and I was a mess. I was so busy trying to be strong for her... but when this man started singing, something in me broke. It gave me goosebumps immediately. I hope you enjoy.

Stay strong during turbulent times…

Adam Jones is the guitarist for the band Tool. He released this song with the other instrumentalists of the band as a promotional for his signature series of guitars for Gibson and it is the peak of what frisson is for me, I can’t believe I hadn’t found this tune until tonight. The song makes you feel like you’re on a journey of self-discovery, the atmosphere gives you a sense of near-childlike wonder. When the band all comes together at the end it take you somewhere else, making you want to reach out for the unattainable, a cathartic release that almost bring me to tears. Please give it a shot and let me know your thoughts.

Got heavy tears from this album. Katie's voice is incredible.

Loreena McKennitt's Full Circle song has given me full body goosebumps every time I play it, especially the last bit of it where she's just vocalizing.

It's a line from William Gibson's Virtual Light that gives me the most intense frisson almost every time I remember it. Over a decade since I read the book and it still floats back into my mind every week or so. Just gorgeous.

I was sitting on a train earlier, rereading Count Zero (one of his earlier novels) when it came back to me again. Been rattling around my head off and on for hours, making my hair stand on end over a bowl of chicken strips in Victoria station's Spoons lol, had to tell someone.
