Has prog ever made you cry?

BIg Big Train's title track "the Underfall Yard" brought me to tears after I read more about the song and what it was about. The song is an ode to a famous 19th century Civil Engineer from the UK. My Dad was a civil engineer, and he is slowly dying of kidney failure at age 90.

A number of tracks can make me well up, especially if I'm already in a sad or introspective mood...

The end of Fly on a Windshield/Broadway Melody (something similar to post-sex crying, shamefully enough, after all that build-up and eventual resolution), Celestial Elixir by Haken (OH GOD), Moon in June by Soft Machine (homesickness), Don't Give Up and Here Comes the Flood by Peter Gabriel, to name but a few.

The best one I can remember, though, was at a Karmakanic gig, as it drew to a close. I didn't know that they played any non-Karmakanic songs at all, so as Afterglow rang out, I listened curiously to the first few bars, finally placed it, then burst into awful, choking tears.

this one is a beautiful, emotional crier

Prog made me cry with how dumb it is

The Wall's build-up of emotions... wow

though i know all this its just a escape , i run because i dont know where the prison lies , in songs like this i cant bear the weight , im running still i shall until one they i hope ill arrive.

Opeth's Hex Omega makes me well up, and not sure if this'll be counted as prog but Queen's Too Much Love Will Kill You always does it for me.
@Astral Traveller, I had the same situation with my bf recently. I listened to a really heartfelt piece of music, you could tell there was so much work gone into it... And he questioned why I seemed so emotional towards it. So I played him the piece in question, and then he exclaimed that it was ''rubbish'' and he didn't get it, aaaaand reverted back to his Drum and Bass, the same 5 seconds of sound repeated for 4 minutes! Each to their own right?...

Last time was because of an argument we had over the boiling time for potatoes. Prog made me cry, because I hate smudgy veg.

I always cry when I listen to Mark Isham's - Crash.
