Welcome to Chillers, the ongoing series where we take a look at songs that give me goosebumps. Beginning in 2026, new entries will be posted weekly on WordPress with an automatic cross-post to Bluesky.

I’m clearly on a kick here listening to love stories, both good and bad. Baby, I Love Your Way, originally written by Peter Frampton for his 1975 album Frampton, blossomed into a cultural fixture after its live release on Frampton Comes Alive!.

It’s an easygoing, sun-drenched love song — gentle, patient, and filled with imagery that pairs calming landscapes with the steadiness of deep affection. The passing of time sits hand-in-hand with reminders of devotion, each lyric quietly reinforcing how badly the singer wants to remain close to the person he loves.

The chorus is etched into the collective memory of anyone who’s spent time around classic rock radio. People know it even if they’re not sure how they know it — a signifier of true musical staying power. Frampton steps away from his signature talk box and louder rock stylings here, opting for something intimate, acoustic, and wholly sentimental.

A chiller in many ways.
