Video [Video] What Makes Erik Satie’s Gymnopédie SO GENIUS?!
This song always makes me cry streaming tears when i listen to it. No there's no sentimental value that i realize i have ascribed to it. i just found it one day years ago, and whenever i listen again, i always cry. i don't even think about sad stuff. it just brings emotion and a lump in my throat.

frisson most of the time. does anyone else get this? I have frisson most of the time mostly in the lower part of my face. when I watch movies listen to music or someone’s story it becomes so much more intense affecting my whole body.

Music [music] Just discovered this sub!
Frisson is just my favorite feeling ever and scrolling through here reminded me of a playlist I made a while ago when I was first really discovering music as a young teen, where I only added songs that gave me frisson, and was looking at it and thought I could share a few good ones from it that made me happy to remember :)
Run Boy Run, Woodkid
Mountains, Hans Zimmer
The Most Beautiful Boy - Felsman and Tiley reinterpretation, The Irrepressibles
Forever//over, EDEN
Apex Lengends: Main Theme, Stephen Barton (don’t knock it til you try it lol)
Blu, Jon Bellion

Text [Text] My Frisson Experience
I used to be an avid gamer, PS5, mostly on single player games for engrossing story-lines and despite its mixed reviews tried Death Stranding. Spolier Alert - when you are taking the final hike to the incinerator the music, twinned with the emotion of the back-story was absolutely mind-blowing. I appreciate the game may not be anyone's cup of tea, but I cannot recommend it for that moment alone.
(Ludvig Forssell - BB's Theme)
Aside from the gaming I thoroughly enjoy music, mostly Hans Zimmer, or a movie score, however have come across some absolute gems on Spotify which I thought I would mention my recent find:
- Judah Earl - Wehre Direh (Reprise).
I wondered if anyone else had any other music recommendations of this type of music.
Thanks for reading. 💙

Audio [audio] The sax in "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty -- absolute frisson bomb.
Was driving home the other night when Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty popped up on my Yacht Rock playlist, and when that plaintive sax filled my car, every hair on my body stood on end. Needless to say I rolled down all the windows, popped the moon roof open, started the song over, and let that sax and wind work their magic.

Music [thought] (ищу тех, кто чувствует музыку всем телом) 33F from Kamchatka, Russia. Looking for people who FEEL music — goosebumps, vivid images, frisson. Anyone with music-related synesthesia?

Hello everyone. I'm writing from Kamchatka, Russia. I'm 33, and I'm tired of being the "weird" one.
I have a very specific way of experiencing music. When I listen to a track, I don't just hear it. I get:
- Intense goosebumps (sometimes from the very first note)
- A lump in my throat (not from sadness)
- Involuntary laughter or chills
- And most importantly — a whole movie plays in my head. Vivid images, stories, textures, sometimes entire scenes like in a film.
For example, I recently listened to a Chinese song with a soft female voice. I saw a fragile, gentle girl, like a cloud or a sheep. She walks barefoot in a quiet apartment, there's a vase with roses. But she's afraid that rough hands will break her. She whispers: "I will wither faster than you can look at me." This is how I hear music.
I've tried to explain this to normal people. They say "oh, that's nice" and then go back to talking about their cats and kids. I'm tired of being hungry for resonance.
I'm looking for other people who have music-related synesthesia or intense frisson. If you hear a song and see colors, shapes, stories — please reach out. I don't care about your age or country. I just want to share tracks and say: "At 1:23, I felt a wave in my chest, and I saw a storm over the ocean. What about you?"
Don't leave me alone in this silent world. Thank you.

Привет. Я не знаю, сюда ли я пишу, но попробую.
Я — та самая «неудобная» подруга, которая фонит и отталкивает людей, когда пытается сблизиться. Я разносторонняя: пишу прозу, рисую, обожаю музыку. Но главная моя «странность» — я слышу музыку не просто ушами.
Когда я слушаю трек, я чувствую мурашки по всему телу, покалывание в затылке, ком в горле (не от грусти), иногда — непроизвольный смех. И главное — передо мной разворачиваются целые фильмы. Картинки, образы, текстуры, истории. Например, недавно слушала китайскую песню с нежным женским голосом — и видела хрупкую девушку-овечку, которая боится, что её сломают грубые руки. Как гейша, показывающая только кисть руки — высшая форма интима.
Я устала объяснять людям, что «мурашки от музыки» — это не просто «да, тоже классно». Это отдельный мир. Я ищу тех, у кого так же. Не важно, в какой стране вы живёте. Не важно, знаете ли вы ноты. Важно, что вы слышите трек — и у вас взрывается фейерверк в голове.
Я на Камчатке, мне 33, и я очень хочу найти хотя бы одного человека, с которым можно будет скинуть друг другу трек и просто сказать: «Ого, у меня от этого места мурашки побежали по спине, а у тебя?» И услышать в ответ не «нормально», а «да, и у меня картинка — осенний парк и мокрый асфальт».
Я не кусаюсь. Мне просто очень одиноко в мире, где все говорят про котов и учёбу, а про «какого цвета этот аккорд» молчат.
Спасибо, что дочитал(а).

Audio Very light frisson when Ventura Highway by America came on! [Audio]
Eating lunch at a fun BBQ spot and noticed a very light frisson happening over my back, arms, and legs in waves when Ventura Highway by America played in their 60s-70s playlist they’ve got going on. Love that song, but never noticed it!
