Hehe true true Happy Christmas to all Prog Archives members by the way Harmonium? Nice, I was just listening to their Cinq Saisons album!
I'll download them asap (except Pink Floyds, I already have it I think). Thanks |

1. "Turn of the Century" (Yes)
2. "The Final Cut" (Pink Floyd) 3. "Lazarus" (Porcupine Tree) These three do it for me. And while not a song: 4. "Blue in Green" (Miles Davis) |

1. Secret World - Peter Gabriel
2. Lost - Van Der Graaf Generator 3. This Side Of The Looking Glass - Peter Hammill (though the emotion comes through rather more in the live versions) Come to mind. |

Oh...one more that is a masterpiece from a man of sorrows:
"Serious Wreckage" by Steve Walsh It's about a heavy drinker coping with wiping out a little boy on a road. |

I think one of the saddest songs ever, prog or otherwise is Alan Parson's Project - Old and Wise. That would have to be my number 1. Others in the top 5 would be:
King Crimson - Starless
Tony Banks - Somebody Else's Dream
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Ant Phillips - Master of Time

Well, a song I feel I have to mention is Neverland by Marillion. It's from Marbles, but also available on the free Crash Course sampler from www.marillion.com

1. Throw Down the Sword - Wishbone Ash
2. Goodbye-Farewell-Adieu - Gnidrolog
3. Same Dreams - Gnidrolog
Gnidrolog has a ton of sad songs indeed.

The chorus of "Ship" always makes me shiver. I've only been able to get my hands on Lady Lake so far though.

Tata Ko. i Mama Spo. by Korni Grupa; about a father and his daughter which cries and want to spend more time with him but he can't because after divorce he's aloud too see her only on Sundays. |
