[QUOTE=Ambient Hurricanes]The-Time-Is-Now, I'm so glad you mentioned the Yes masterpiece "In the Presence Of."  It's a beautiful and uplifting song (on par with "And You and I," imo), but it always seems to get overlooked.  Howe's guitar work is excellent on that song, he plays three or four solos but each one of them adds so much to the song as a whole.

I've always thought "In the Presence of" is the best song the band did since their 70's peak---the simple piano part that White wrote and god-Howe's guitar work make it a classic---I only wish they were able to hit that high mark more often since the late 70's.

Oh, I can't believe I forgot to mention Laboratories of the Invisible World (Rollerskating the Cosmic Palmistric Postborder) by maudlin of the Well.  At least I think it's a love song, the lyrics seem to indicate so.  I absolutely love the way Toby Driver screams the final lines out in agony:
 
"The blind need to see
The deaf need to hear
We need to speak
I love you"
 
The song is also unique in that it's the most "metal" song on motW's softest album, Part the Second.  And it has a cool piano outro!

One thing i have noticed in progressive rock/metal with songs that sound like ballads are......musiclly they sound like ballads, but lyricly their about something philosophical or deep thinking.   But you do get the odd exception.
 
The Threshold song Innocence.

Speak My Name by IQ. Probably my least favourite track off of one of my favourite albums of all time (i.e. Subterranea)

Supper's Ready- Genesis

The Musical Box- Genesis [Somewhat, unrequited love]

Fountain of Salmacis- Genesis [Same as The Musical Box]

And You and I- Yes

Still...You Turn Me On- Emerson Lake and Palmer

C'est la Vie - Emerson Lake and Palmer

For My Lady- The Moody Blues

Nights in White Satin- The Moody Blues

The Siren Song- Van Der Graaf Generator


Prog does not often mix with love, and when it does, its most likely to be mixed with fantasy.

Can't believe nobody mentioned 'More Fool Me' about the sad protagonist, who can't seem to get through his thick skull, that she's a bitch.

Don't leave me, now is so bitter - so callous and emotionally daunting. It is my favorite song from The Wall (except possibly Hey You.)

I agree... The nerve present in that song is bone chilling, to say the least.
