I felt kind of internally upset when I first heard "Epitaph" from ItCotCK. The way Lake sings "I fear tomorrow I'll be crying" has so much emotion in it.

Some prog albums remind me some amazing moments in my life and sometimes drive me to cry and I don't feel ashame by that. Not at all.It's the only thing that makes me cry so it must be very powerfull. That's why I love Prog

I think he was brilliant also when he went mad. Yes it is a different Syd - and one that he couldn't shake off - one that brought him down and everything, but the music and his words still inspires me. I felt the first impact of that album very closely and beautifully - even if it was downright bizarre at times. Still is. And I still remember him for Piper at the Gates of Dawn too. Wonderful record that one! |

It was a rather chilly summer morning and I was exhausted after having studied all night for that day's exam. Thought I'd take a break and give this one a first listen. The sun was just shining... Just so we're clear, those were tears of joy, k? |

Shine On You Crazy Diamond, pt. 9, the very ending - nearly made me cry.

It is impossible for me to listen to the ending of The Narrow Margin without bursting into tears.

Not quite, but there are some songs that still make me well up. Certainly 'Turn of the Century' by Yes, 'Undertow' and 'Afterglow' by Genesis.
Visions by Stevie Wonder almost gets me every time too..

There is not much music that has made me cry
One song that does that for me almost every time is "Playin' This Song Together" by the late Helmut Koellen, from his solo album "You Won't See Me" Especially in the middle, when there is some string work and background vocals-it seems sad, and moves me to tears. The only other music that has made me cry are parts of some of the symphonies of composer Anton Bruckner, like the ending of the finale movement of his 5th Symphony, or the ending of the Adagio movements of his 7th and 9th Symphonies, or the Adagio of his 2nd Symphony. These moments are so beautiful, and sad, and emotional! |

I'm with you on Stevie boy. He is magnificent! Incidentally, do you know Finnish band WigWam? This band, especially the frontsinger, sounds like a white boy version of Stevie Wonder gone Canterbury. Khan meets Wonder. Here's a clip: |

For me it's easy - few Prog songs made me cry. It is basically the only occasion when I cry - when certain song is so emotionally beautiful that it is too much to bear. Not crying from pain, not crying from tear-jerking movies, not because I would be sassy pussy, but Klaatu - Hope mostly To lesser extent Sandrose - Never Good at Saying Goodbye |

Innuendo isn't exactly an 'epitaph' song but... One day (it was a
couple of weeks ago) I listened to this song and I really cried. As I've
found out, I've never really understood this song before. There was
such a dark feeling inside me, it was like mourning for every misjustice
on this terrible planet. Other highly emotional Queen song is 'These Are the Days of Our Lives', I almost cry each time I hear the guitar solo. The other prog songs wich can lead me to tears are 'Half Light' by Porcupine Tree, and, probably. 'Islands' and 'Starless' by King Crimson. |

"Starless". Good gravy, "Starless". If King Crimson created that piece simply to make people break down in tears, they succeeded.

This is not normal crying music but I have serious brain problems. I hear magical music in my brain sometimes, and if someone is able to create that I cry because it makes me feel like I'm not alone in this world. Also, I can't understand lyrics so lyrics rarely have anything to to do with it. Also I'm permanently depressed so sometimes just hearing this music in my brain and the layers of thought that ooze from it make me cry too because it is too much to handle but you get the point.
Koenjihyyakei from Angherr Shispha - the first track towards the end made me cry because it matched those noises and the emotion coming out of it is the kind of emotion i feel constantly.
The ending of Aberkinula by the mars volta
Drunkship of Lanterns- the ending- dang its crazy
Baying of the Hounds by Opeth (The heavy part after the first acoustic break)
Gorguts- when the violin comes in on Obscura... damn
Deathspell Omega- Chaining the Kacheton - after the beginning craziness subsides and the band comes together and they strum similar chords
Sometimes Wolves in the Throne room makes me tear up too.
etc, etc, etc- there are tons of songs and instances
Also, sometimes when it isn't crying that comes out its more like a weird insane body buzz that feels like doing lines and tripping. I get crazy tingles all over my body and all of my senses become more aware.

The first time I listened to Van der Graaf Generator's "Pilgrims" (on Still Life, 1976), I thought that my heart and my lungs were going to explode.
But I got better and I can now listen to this song without feeling like this. |

Haha, uh, yes. I can't even believe that there are people who aren't moved to tears by music. I pity those people.
Off the top of my head, I transcend and almost always cry when listening to Close to the Edge (Yes), One For the Vine and Ripples (Genesis), Song Within a Song and Echoes (Camel), Nothing At All (Gentle Giant), 2112 (Rush), and probably many many more to a lesser extent. Honestly, whoever said that men don't cry is awful. The entire point of music to me is the emotional strength of it. Music besides prog has no sway on my emotions by comparison. I guess this is why some people don't understand it..

Oh yea I forgot the end of track 4 on Om by Negura Bunget
AND the end of track 10 made me well up and I felt as though I had left my body.
Also, RIP by banco, and l'evolutiozone(spelling), and track 4 on their 3rd album whatever its called.
Let's all be happy that music has this amazing power. Music is the most powerful thing man can create. If aliens landed on Earth, I would show them music as proof that the human race was worth keeping alive. Edited by Smurph - April 12 2012 at 16:18 |
