Not really a love song...but incredibly sad...and keeping it with the Alan Parsons theme - can I throw in 'Shadow of a Lonely Man'.

No one seems to be exactly sure about the meaning, but Matte Kudasai by King Crimson probably fits this vibe.

Theme For An Imaginary Western - Greenslade I actually prefer Mountain's version but thought I better pick the proggy one |

Anathema is a pretty decent place to look for sad prog love songs.

Duke has a couple of sad songs like Please Don't Ask Me and Alone Tonight. I like'em both.

"Turn of the Century", by Yes, is such a beautiful sad love song, about the death of the singer's lover. Also, "Hey you" by Pink Floyd, and perhaps a few other songs from "The Wall".
And though I can't understand the lyrics, there's a really sad atmosphere in many Rock Progressivo Italiano songs, mainly Le Orme, and some of Banco del Mutuo Socorsso. |

I am afraid you still don't get the point or don't want to. Do you understand the English WORD "OVERWROUGHT"? It has nothing to do with correctly hitting an A or a C. For that matter, I don't dig or wasn't justifying operatic singing and that's where that overwrought mode of singing comes from. It's completely unsuitable in rock, at least the way Hammil does it.

Yeah, Peter Hammill is the obvious choice. Also, I'd say the end of "The Ancient" by Yes would also fit into this category.
