Hey I bet you all have such moment in some songs that just make you cry or seem very interesting/touching and make you have emotions like never before. These moments often arent even noticed by other people, theyre just special to you. What prog moments are your specials? For me its Dream Theater's - Through her eyes, that part when LaBrie sings "in loving memory of our child, so innocent eyes open wide". To be honest, it always makes me want to cry. I feel violated when i listen 
The other is Pain Of Salvation - Beyond The Pale. I just cant stop being unnaturally happy when Daniel sings "i had tp take this walk down remedy lane of whens and whys". This time its not the lyrics that are so touching but the way Daniels sings this little diamond. I cant remember any more moments now, but if this topic will seem interesting to you i'll try to remember more ------------- with a smile of a happy idiot |

| The "I Get Up I Get Down" section from Close To The Edge used to bring tears to my eyes whenever I listened to it. Beautiful! |

The ending of Camel's "Unevensong" makes me reassess my life every time I listen to it. Period. I also get goosebumps when the Sax comes charging in in National Health's "Portrait of a Shrinking Man" and when the final lucid guitar notes sound of doom in Henry Cow's "Ruins". Not to mention the coda to King Crimson's epic "Starless".

That part is beautiful  Someone else mentioned the build-up at the end of Echoes. That's amazing. I also love the end of Gates of Delirium (Soon, oh Soon...) The end of Take the Veil (Who brought me here?) Court of the Crimson King -- when the mellotron theme from Epitaph comes in. ------------- My recent purchases:

When Jon sings "I feel lost in the city-yyyyyyy..." the last time in Heart of the Sunrise gives me shivers; also the Gilmour solo in Time and the last 6 minutes of Echoes  -------------

Speaking of codas, besides "Starless" (which I absolutely love) I'd also mention "Epitaph" - the way Greg Lake's voice fades into the waves of sound produced by the Mellotron is absolutely heart-wrenching. Another very moving moment is the one which I have chosen as my sig - the ending of Rush's "Witch Hunt", with Geddy Lee's voice emoting over washes of synthetisers. There are probably other thousands of moments I don't remember now, but I'd like to mention a non-prog one: the start of the third verse of Blue Oyster Cult's mighty "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" on "ET Live", when Buck Dharma's guitar slows gradually down after a searing solo and the drums take up the initial pattern once again. Pure magic! |

Chorus of Shadow Gallerys Crystaline dream, DT's "Now the miracle and the sleeper know that the third is love. Love is the dance of eternity". Blind guardian - And then there was silence where Hansi sings "Sorrow and defeat". I fill never forgive them for not playin g that song till the end on Imaginations Through The Looking Glass". OH oh oh oh ...... how could i forget....Confusion...Will be my epitaph ------------- with a smile of a happy idiot |

Most Genesis songs have such moments for me. 11th Earl of Mar - middle section (Time to go to bed now...). This is pure beauty! Musical box - the whole song really!
Stagnation - ...and each will find a home...
Just to mention very few. ------------- Music, all I hear is MUSIC |

Right after that, Wakeman's pipe organ, then the whold band coming in. I always thought Alan White spoiled that portion of the song by putting in drum fills. ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

Man, so many. If I had to post a condensed list:
1. Rothery's solo during the "Fallin' From The Moon" section from "The Great Escape" 2. The final 5 minutes of "The Great Nothing" from Spock's Beard's V 3. Neal Morse and Phil Keaggy's vocals on "The Cradle To The Grave" from One. 4. "12" from Neal Morse's ? 5. LaBrie's vocals on "Surrounded" 6. Marillion's "Fantastic Place" ("Say you understand me, and I will leave myself completely. Forgive me if I stare, but I can see the island behind your tired, troubled eyes.) 7. Lifeson's solo on "Limelight" 8. Hogarth's vocals on "Afraid Of Sunlight" (Pure magic) 9. The first few lines from Phil Collins on "Behind The Lines" (his drumming on "One For The Vines" could easily be on this list, too) 10. The finale on Marillion's "This Strange Engine"....hell, I could make a list on Marillion alone. E -------------

One of my most favorite moments is in King Crimson's 'Lizard'. The First part where Jon Anderson takes over on vocals. His voice suits the music perfectly, and the melody is stunning.

The new-agey part in the middle of "South Side of the Sky" always gets to me.
The small bass solo parts in "Tommy the Cat", especially after "Well I remember it as thought it were a meal ago..." Good stuff. ------------- Dissonance; subtle harmonic dissonance Contemplating and completing the negative space Romantic symphonies left on the floodplains |

1. Focus - Hamburguer Concerto: the part when Thijs Van Leer "sings". I like the way it blends that scream with the rest of the song. 2. The Black Mages - Dancing Mad: the guitar solo near the end! It's beautiful!  ------------- Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends... |

Yes - Close to the Edge - 16:33 "On the hill we viewed the silence of the valley,
Called to witness cycles only of the past. And we reach all this with movements in between the said remark." During that verse starting at 16:33, there is enough power and beauty packed within the vocal harmonies, melodies and lyrics to make my whole body numb. That right there is the greatest piece of music ever written, ever. ------------- We got to pump the stuff to make us tough from the heart Its astart What we need is awareness we cant get careless Mental self defensive fitness Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be |

I'll agree with anyone who says:"¡TOO MANY!". I can think of a couple right now: The end of "Harold the Barrel", The incredible piano intro on "Scherezade and other stories", a part of a Sigur Rós song from "Agaetis Byrjun that I'll never be able to writte/read, but it's there, believe me, the bagpipe on the second track of GYBE's "F#A# Infinity". And everytime Robert Wyatt's voice shine on every solo or colaboration album, except on Caravan albums, because those albums are crap or at least something that my tiny brain hasn't understand yet... ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

As with many others, there are too many for me to count. I am, however, surprised that no one mentioned "Misplaced Childhood." "Childhood's End?" Is so moving, and uplifting. I have used it for inspiration on many occasions, when I was feeling down. ------------- a.k.a. H.T. http://riekels.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow - http://riekels.wordpress.com |
