As I think about how lame this post is, and how goofy this site sometimes get, I wonder if I should get all dramatic and come up with some fake tears, and maybe some fake whimpering. Maybe some fainting would be good too.
Come on people. Get some balls! Prog. is not for wusses and wimps.

Typically, something chokes me up if it has some personal memory or
signifigance attached. But the one song that always gets me is 'The
Final Cut'. Building through "a kid who had a big hallucination", to
when Waters' voice cracks on the line "Or would you take me home" right
into that beautiful, emotional guitar solo. Wow.
I would honestly say that it is what made me a Floyd fan. (I know, I
know I came into it backwards, but what can you do, I was only fifteen)

If music can't make you cry you haven't got a soul.

Metamorfosi's Inferno brings me to tears. When I hear the part, I believe it is an excerpt from WWII of total chaos in war, it brings me to tears. I can actuaully picture, albiet my own limited picture, the pain and suffering the soldiers went through. Some of the Italian operatic singing can bring me to tears of joy too.

what are u talking about?!
we dont cry from music because we are wusses or wimps.
we cry because there is an amazing connection with the msusic, its not something that easy to explain...
we just feel it!!!. for u its probably hard to
feel this, and i am sorry for you, because u dont know how great
feleling is it. to cry from music.

Shine on you Crazy Diamond. That chord progression after the line "You shone like the sun" moves me to tears.

Believe it or not I have just summoned up the courage to
listen to a particular song for the first time in @15 YEARS (long story but I
think you can all guess the rest).
I have always skirted around it but decided to bite the bullet. I have to
cauterise my soul.
AFTERGLOW, from Wind & Wuthering by Genesis.

The gunners dream off the final cut and the title track often catch me out late at night, also the end of suppers ready when it goes back to the 'hello babe' bit (whoever put that first i sympathise ;) ) or seven stones also by genesis.

'Turn Of The Century' from Going For The One by YES.
I'll have to stop this, if by some strange chance or quirk of fate she should ever read this I am undone.

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Hello,
Heroes Never Die; Mostly Autumn, several times they touched me deeply.
Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here live (in the eighties) .... hearing the whole stadium singing.. creepy.
The Gab Is Too Wide, again Mostly Autumn and again a song about the lost of a dear relative.
This one didn't make me cry, but what a beauty:

god has failed
you'll never be
forgotten
you've always on my mind
i look into the mirror
a good friend
is hard to find
could anyone please tell me
if all was fixed
before
this year spring comes to early
cause god has failed once
more
the pictures i've found
your face looks still the same
whenever
i'm a sleep
my heart will call your name
to tell about your life
is all
about your life
is all i can do for you
your end has come to
early
cause god has failed once
