For me it would be "Shine On You ....", and a part of "A Fair Judgment' by Opeth where Michael Akerfeldt says "Leave it be, it was meant for me..."

The other day is the only time I can remember right now, it was ELP's fanfare to the common man

but it I was having this daydream about the the overthrow of capitalism and a united earth sort of Battlefield Earth style Shocked and so the music got me all teary eyed.

I've been under a lot of stress lately. Cry

Cry? I think never...oh wait, I think when I saw Aussie Floyd performing the Floyd songs I knew at that moment, I think I had a tear or two....

But usually I get chicken skin with: Islands by King Crimson, I Get Up by Yes, Good People by Yes, many parts of All of the Above by Transatlantic, and well many, many others...

Soon by Yes ( ending to The Gates Of Delirium ) has many times as when someone passed away I always used it to reflect back upon ths person or pet. It's actually good for you. The only other ones who make me cry are crap bands or RAP bands.

Plenty: Take a Pebble, the opening of Thick as a Brick, Supper's Ready, etc.
 
Also, while not prog, some of Counting Crows best stuff bypasses my brain's processor (what's left of it) and directly connects with an emotional reflex.

Another song that made me THIS near to cry was Watching and Waiting by The Moody Blues...I guess this is one of the most emotional songs by the moodies along with My Song and One More Time To Live...

Definitely Epitaph, but the mother of all tear bringing prog songs is Turn of the Century - the sheer force of the story and a love that never dies, to the extent that it is reborn, gets me every time.

Mee too!  Which album is Turn of the Century on? I am having aging memory lapses!Sleepy


Sorry, only picked the rest of the thread up tonight - it was, of course, the one & only Going for the OneSmile

I think "Wings For Marie" Pt.s 1 and 2 have made me teary eyed, and I think definetely plenty of PF. Probably more Tool as well.
 
 
The only stuff that comes to mind after that is non-prog. There are a couple NIN instrumentals like "A Warm Place" and "Leaving Hope" which bring me to sweeping emotions every time.
 
Other than that... I think a Blink 182 album made me cry when I had just heard a friend had died. That was a long time ago though.

Quite a few times, but always the same songs -

Closing section of 'Seven Stones' - Banks's mellotron coda is beautiful in its simplicity.

Closing section of 'Suppers Ready' - Just a soaring quality of the music & lyrics; gets me every time.

Finally...

(whisper it quietly)

The live version of Dream Theater's 'The Spirit Carries On' - "Move on be brave, don't weep at my grave, because I am no longer here, But please never let your memory of me disappear" followed by Petrucci's solo... total blub-fest every time

For me, it was Marillion's 'The Web'. I'd never fully appreciated this track until I went through a very messy divorce in 1994- then the lyrics hit home, and I was a quivering wreck as soon as realisation dawned.

Now there was an album to move one to tears if in the wrong mood... Script For A Jester's Tear speaks to everyone suffering the pains of unrequited love or those in a bad relationship.

Damn you Fish!
