I was just listening to Laura Benanti's Unusual Way, and I was so moved I got chills. What songs do that to you? Please list song and performer...I'm sure much of it depends on the person singing. Thanks.
The first two that come to mind are "Finishing the Hat" from Sunday in the Park With George (especially when performed by Michael Cerveris), and "Make Our Garden Grow" from Candide. "Journey On" from Ragtime and a good rendition of "One Day More" from Les Mis usually do, too.

Bernadette Peters- "Being Alive" (Live) Lea Salonga- "This Is The Hour"-Miss Saigon Christine Ebersole-"Around The World"-Grey Gardens Linda Eder-"Man of LaMancha"
"The sexual energy between the mother and son really concerns me!"-random woman behind me at Next to Normal
"I want to meet him after and bang him!"-random woman who exposed her breasts at Rock of Ages, referring to James Carpinello
^^^ I like it when Raul's alive as well. It's great, isn't it?
Seriously, Raul's Being Alive is wonderful. Right now Til We Reach That Day and Sarah Brown Eyes from Ragtime have been getting to me.
Also:
A Light in the Dark-Next to Normal I Miss the Mountains- Next to Normal The Next Ten Minutes- The Last Five Years If I Didn't Believe in You- The Last Five Years Nobody Needs To Know- The Last Five Years Goodbye Until Tomorrow/ I Could Never Rescue You- The Last Five Years Dulcinea- Man of La Mancha The Impossible Dream- Man of La Mancha Lesson #8- Sunday in the Park with George Beautiful- Sunday in the Park with George Finishing the Hat- Sunday in the Park with George Color and Light- Sunday in the Park with George Alabanza- In the Heights Johanna (Trio)- Sweeney Todd Tonight- West Side Story Rose's Turn- Gypsy The Music Still Plays On- A New Brain Love to Me- The Light in the Piazza (among other songs, but mainly that one)
And a whole lot more...I just can't think of them right now.
Nearly all of Les Mis Quite a lot of Miss Saigon The Phantom of the Opera overture & entr'acte Suddenly Seymour (Little Shop of Horrors) Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat (Guys and Dolls) 76 Trombones (The Music Man) You Can't Stop the Beat (Hairspray)
If a song doesn't give me chills, then I don't like it.
"There's nothing good on. The media hates Christmas. The media loves vampires, though. Maybe they will show a Twilight Christmas." -Danmeg's 10 year old son.
"Reflection" - A Tale of Two Cities "If Dreams Came True" - A Tale of Two Cities "A New Life" - Jekyll & HYDE "Climb Ev'ry Mountain - Finale" - Sound of Music "Waiting & Hoping" - Napoleon
"Daddy's Son" --Ragtime "Children will Listen" -- Into The Woods "39 Lashes"-- JC Superstar "The Fall" -- Rent "Forever Yours" -- Once on This Island "Step too Far" -- Aida
I get insane chills during the Phantom Of The Opera overture. Where's The Girl (especially with Rex Smith singing) from Scarlet Pimpernel also makes a few hairs stand up on my back. However, Back To Before from Ragtime, doesn't just gives me chills; it usually turns me to ice.

^ I *think* the poster might have meant to say "Goodbye Love" because of the "I hate the fall" bit, but that's just a guess. But yeah, there's not a song in the show that's actually called "The Fall."
Or perhaps they meant "Halloween?" Halloween happens in the fall! lol
"Move on" "We Do Not Belong Together" "Finishing the Hat" "Sunday" "Being Alive"- when sung by Patti LuPone or Bernadette Peters "Losing My Mind" "How Could I Ever Know?" "The Miller's Son"
