"....and now I've lost everything, I give to you my soul.....and the meaning of all that I believed before escapes me, in this world of none......I miss you more"
That one is very poignant to me and never fails lo leave a lump in the throat
That's a good one. AFTERGLOW is a song that is straight from the heart
^ I can see MARILLION's JIGSAW song striking a nerve with some people cause it makes you think about sh*tty girlfriend relationships that overly ran their course. Arguing and fighting all the time is no laughing matter. Song was perfect and left me a little teary eyed sometimes.

For some reason "afterglow" by Genesis almost always makes me cry(or at least well up). It even got to me when I saw them perform it live on their last tour. "Turn of the century" and "To be over" are songs that should make me cry but for some reason don't even though they are both great songs. A few VDGG songs can make me cry also.

I'm not often moved by lyrics, even if for an Italian speaking like me Fabrizio De Andre' is a poet able to move a rock. I'm more likely involved by things like the final instrumental part of Mostly Autumn's "The Gap Is Too Wide". Still with MA "Mother Nature" has also moving lyrics. I can feel strong emotions from the first three albums of Art Zoyd or by Pink Floyd's "High Hopes".
In general I feel sad whenever I listen to anything of Syd Barrett, it's regret for the loss of a genius and for his sad story.
Do you imagine when he popped in the studio while PF were recording "wish you were here"? He was "here" but they managed to make him go.

I hardly cry from exposure from outside stimuli due to my infamous lack of empathy, but the end of Rush's 2112 would make be cry otherwise due to such a tragic ending. "My spirits are low in the depths of dispair, my lifeblood...spills over."

Not a tear was shed for prog or pretty much any other music for as long as I could remember. I do not lack emotion or empathy, but they usually don't manifest themselves in very visible ways. As far as "emotional" prog goes, "Rare Bird" by Hoelderlin, "Close to the Edge," by Yes, and "The Herald" by Comus have all given me chills or moved me greatly.

The track 'Think of me with Kindness' by Gentle Giant. The lyrics and the way Kerry delivers it has brought me to tears. So so beautiful
Agreed.
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
