I agree. Very depressing song...

On the non-prog territory, I'd go for My Dying Bride.

Starless is one of the few songs that really sends shivers down my spine. Absolutely beautiful. Just the way that it meanders through this jazzy stagnant plinking wasteland of sound only to wrench your heart out by returning to the fantastically sad minor melodies with full force. GAH! Now I've gotta go listen again . . .

Starless by King Crimson.

Bleak yet beautiful lyrics and the instrumental part is like a trip to hell and back.
But don't listen to it if you're suicidal.

That's the only Pink Floyd song that still depresses me. Maybe it's becuse I love wordless choirs.
 
Honestly, most songs don't depress me anymore, as I've listened to them many times.

This Side of the Looking Glass by Peter Hammill has my bottom lip quivering, as does most of the album "Over".

Without a dobut:

Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness.

One of the most saddest albums I've heard... And really prog too. Only one song longer than 60 minutes.

For me, nothing even comes close to the emotion stirred from "Heart Attack in a Layby".
 
...but... in an effort to add something to the thread, I'll say "Visions of Angels" - Genesis.
