Have you ever experienced goosebumps directly from aural pleasure, like listening to a song or hearing a particular person's voice?

I have experienced this nearly daily for as long as I can remember. Sometimes, it can feel quite overwhelming. It can even happen on the hottest day of summer. It's often body-wide, even raising the hair on my head, but particularly my arms and thighs will be affected. It happens when I hear certain songs, when I hear a very dear loved one speak after having not heard their voice for a long while, and, sometimes, when I play a musical instrument, if I am unable to detect any flaws.

Does this ever happen to you?

    What does aural pleasure mean?  I never heard of it.

  • if you can not deduce the meaning by the context of the question, you might be trollin'.

    so which is it?

    Me?  Nah.   I was just lazy and did not read on, I deserve the drubbing from you.

    And, yes, I have.   It usually comes as a thrill feeling that starts in my heart and wells in my throat. 

    I think the Jewish folk say gaflempt.   Or something like that.

  • i can appreciate laziness. i've enjoyed the experience several thousand times, myself. i don't feel you would have had to read on beyond the question, but hey... i've misread or misunderstood simple things within my lifetime, and i most certainly will again.
    so... that's all cleared up. i'm really not a suspicious person.... wait, yes i am. totally jaded, i am, yep.

    i figured you experience aural pleasure leading to physical symptoms. you seem to be quite a passionate person, if i'm reading you correctly. uh, oh...

    Yeah, for both of those things. music a lot more so than someone's voice..

    Every day.  Like Nobodylair, music does it for me.  Music has always been a major part of my life.  There are always songs I listen to on a daily basis that move and overwhelm me and yes, cause goosebumps along with making my heart swell.

  • i totally get the "heart swell' feeling. sometimes i feel like i might faint, but thankfully i have never actually fainted... ever, for any reason.

    At times, certain songs do move me to the point that I feel like I am going to faint too.  I have fainted but not from that.  Rarely happens, but it's occurred when I've been really ill.  Not fun. :-(

  • i like you, Harry. i like someone who's moved by music to that degree. for some reason, it makes me think you're awesome.

    please, Harry, please, please remain seated or lying down when ill.
    i am so afraid of fainting. i have resisted it with adrenaline many times, because i highly suspected what you say about it.

  • Absolutely, yes. Particularly moving classical music often has that effect on me. But even the sounds of nature have been able to have the same effect.

  • ah, yes... the sounds of nature. this has happened to me as well, when camping primitive style. the sound of the wind blowing through the trees totally chilled me. also at the beach... waves crashing, seagulls crying out. in those cases, the smells and feels added to the experience. the smell of the sun-warmed woods... and sunshine peeking through and warming my back, and the smell and feel of salted, balmy air rushing all around me.

  • Playing "Amazing Grace" on bagpipes, especially when all the pipes and drums come in after the soloist.

  • that hymn does lend itself to the sound of bagpipes very, very well. being half Scot, it's in my blood to adore the sound of bagpipes.
