Dilmurad: my goosebump experience was while I was watching “Inception” by Christopher Nolan.

Karlis: my ultimate goosebump moment is a live concert where a metal band collaborated with an orchestra. When the orchestra started playing and the band singer started to sing, I had chills down my spine and held my breath. I was just awestruck with emotion. By the end of the song, I could not shrug the goosebumps off, the crowd cheering was cheering and screaming to get all the emotions out.

Rinzin: my goosebump moment is the “Kupar” song, a Bhutanese song dedicated to king Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck. It pays homage to the king’s compassionate deeds. During the pandemic, his majesty played a vital role for his citizens. I feel blessed to be born in such a beautiful country.

Ximena: my goosebump moment is the song “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen, but in the a capella version of Pentatonix.

Kirsten: my goosebump moment is when I hear the lyrics of the Bob Dylan song “Boots of Spanish Leather”. This song is special to me because it’s about two people and one of them is leaving and I’ve lived away from my family for six years now so it always makes me think of them. I always listen to this song as my plane takes off and I get Goosebumps every single time.

Aubienne: my goosebump moment is Taylor Swift’s new lyric video of “Love Story”. Taylor has been a huge part of my childhood and listening to it after 10 years reminds me of a time when life was still simple and fun.

Cassandra: my goosebump moment is the song “What other people say” by Demi Lovato and Sam Fischer. Every lyric in that song is so relatable and impactful. Strangers can just say whatever they want without realizing the impact it has. The song reminds me that we shouldn’t care about what other people say, just the people that matter.
