Hmh, can't totally reach the state with plain music.
Some films with affecting music may work, especially if not totally sober. Fitzcarraldo's conclusion is quite striking for my emotions, also many classical music installations, f.ex. these: |

Tonight I almost cried with some Stardust We Are passages. Some of the best music ever written.

I would have to say the closest a prog song came to making me cry would be:
Magellan - Test of Wills - Walk Fast, Look Worried

Sometimes I became emotional with prog music. Some Prog music provides a means of labeling certain emotions. Some music make us emotional with their lyric of sadness and it really force on teenagers mind when they play it mood modifier then it use to negative emotions.

Not sure, maybe while drunk listening to something but I can't remember.
Only music that has ever made me moisty eyed while sober is the long middle section of Beethovens 15th string quartet and Senza Mamma probably because the music fits what it's supposed to represent so well. edit: ah just remembered, Paranoid Eyes from PinkFloyd/Final Cut got me going once because of the lyrics and it always makes me very sad to this day to listen to it.

Transatlantic; When any emotional vocal segment goes, Neal Morse's voice along with the lyrics just puts a chill in my body and i end up crying. Thanks to Neal Morse, I am a born again religious person :)
Also, Jon Anderson's vocal segments in the breakdown segments of Yes makes me cry.

Only one time recently, "The Garden" by The little "unknown" band Rush... It's probably the song in itself, his sadness and the recent events in my life and a good dose of my imagination...

Closest I ever got was seeing Camel in '82 (Nude tour?) and Andy Latimer playing that solo in "Ice".....BIG lump in the throat!

Pink Floyd, for sure. Echoes and WYWH in particular, kinda gets me a little teary-eyed just thinking about their impact on me...
It was a really strange time in my life, I was basically in love with this girl. I heard a rumor about her with another guy.... the cut version of Echoes was playing (the one from the Greatest Hits compilation), and it got to the second verse. When the chorus kicked in, I just absolutely lost it. Like... bad. About a year earlier, this other girl (I was in love with her too, bad stuff man) got me into Pink Floyd. We hit a really rough patch a few months into our relationship (we didn't really date, it was weird.) It turns out that she never liked me as more than a friend during the six months we were "together". This revelation came to me while I was listening to Wish You Were Here's title track, which is her favorite PF track. Once again, tears just came flowing. A few days after this incident, I was listening to the Wall album and Nobody Home came on. Cried at that too. Anyways... As for other prog, Dream Theater's "The Count of Tuscany" always manages to hit a major chord with my feels. Same with Dire Straits's amazing track "Telegraph Road" and Supertramp's "Crime of the Century". I also recently discovered how BEAUTIFUL VdGG's track "Refugees" is. Quite a powerhouse. Radiohead's "OK Computer" and "Kid A" are also just emotional rollercoasters... A lot of PT/SW material makes me emotional too. But this is why I really listen to prog. The emotions are just... inexplainable. It's beautiful. Edited by RedNightmareKing - September 16 2012 at 22:11 |

One of the most emotional songs I've ever heard is Van Der Graaf Generator's "House With No Door". I mean srsly, if that song doesn't make you cry, I can't imagine what kind of life you're living ^^

So, my debut post is about crying.. I guess that means I found this emotionally moving enough to register and post
 Anyhow, I tend to be sensitive about music as most of us likely are, but there's a few tunes that seem to really stir deep emotions in me when I listen to them: Crimson Glory: Burning Bridges - the section between choruses where Midnight's vocals reach ultra high with accompanying guitar is extremely powerful, as are the lyrics. Crimson Glory: Far Away - not so much as the other, but it's mostly due to the fact that I was "far away" from my to-be wife. I had to drive over a delivery route that, a few weeks earlier, I had been in a car wreck during upon the same route. Redemption: Sapphire - pretty powerful stuff. I know there are more for sure - these ones came to mind in a blink. Most of the music I listen to is on the heavier side so it doesn't lend itself to too many teary moments (hard to tear up when you're thrashing around with your fist in the air). However, other times I have been awash with emotion have been live events - Queensryche during one of the tours where the played Mindcime in its entirety, and some Porcupine Tree shows. Anathema's Weather Systems has honorable mention for sure - wow, the whole thing really. I saw Anekdoten's The War is Over - absolutely yes - sad one there. Cool scene here, looking forward to coming back. |

"Lost" By VdGG gets me a lot, I remember when I got the album, I was reading the lyrics before I had a chance to listen to it, and just that was enough to get me all worked up.
And then strangely "Blood on the rooftops" By Genesis... Not so much the song itself, but who it reminds me of when I listen to it. |

Rush - Presto (the song not the album, though that's good to).
The ending just kills me every time. I don't weap every time, but I never want that coda to finish. Such swing, such far-off emotion. Was also a special time in my life, age 15, discovering prog. I did a whole tribute to the song here

I've been listening to 80's Rush lately, and Losing and The Pass make me well up every time. Beautifully evocative lyrics there.

I've never cried in reaction to any music because I rarely cry at all, but "The Whole World Window" by Cardiacs of all people at least chokes me up every time.
