I get chills when I listen to some music - I thought that was universal, or at least commonplace. Just how unique is getting chills supposed to be that it might be a marker for a "unique" brain?
I did get chills when listening to specific songs when I was in my 20s. Now 37 I havent really had it happen to me since.<p>Funnily enough, it was a song from the swedish band Kent. Which some say is inspired from radiohead. And a radiohead song was used as an example in the article.<p>I actually listened to the Radiohead song, and immediately felt it was a bit familiar to the kind of music that used to give me the chills.
The first song I recall experiencing this effect from is Pat Metheny Group's song "San Lorenzo". And it still happens most times I hear it.
