"House With No Door" by Van der Graaf Generator moves me to tears,

dark figure running - won't somebody help me?".

There are two songs that can make me cry. Neither are prog but I'm
going to mention them anyway. "Tank Park Salute" by Billy Bragg and
especially "My young man" by Kate Rusby. These are the lyrics - My young man wears a frown With his eyes all closed and his head bowed down, My young man never sleeps. The rain it falls upon his back The dust before his eyes is black, Oft the times, oft the times my young man weeps. My young man wears a coat, Once, long ago, a bonnie coat Which my young man wore with pride. Now I dress the coat all on his back, For love for him I will not lack, But to see it now, that collier’s coat, I can’t abide. My young man, where’s he gone? Once in his eyes my whole world shone Now my young man he looks away. Man and wife we used to be Now he’s like a child upon my knee And in my arms I help my young man through the day. A young girl no more am I But I shall not weep and I will not cry, For my young man needs me still. If someone’s watching up above You’ll see how much my dear I love, So leave him here, I need him now and always will. Oh if someone’s watching up above You’ll see how much my dear I love, And If he must go, let your best angels keep him well." It's a beautiful song about Kate's grandmother who nursed her husband through emphsyma. |

What are ya... kidding me?
I don't listen to music that can't bring me to tears. 'Cause there are all kinza 'tears'.... Tears of joy. Tears of rage. Tears of frustration. Tears of relief. Tears of sadness. Tears of irony. Go on all day with that list. Music, done right, is the unwavering finger of God. Any friggin' God ya wanna name... Whatever. The point is it's BIGGER.

Commoner moment here...Download Festival 2004...Metallica (stop laughing, I was young and stupid then) they played Fade To Black, which is a beautiful song anyway, but then it started raining. It was like...woah. wow. Unfortuantely I'm not as in touch with my emotions as I would like. No films scare me and I haven't cried in about 6 years. No joke. If I could cry, I could think of a fair few songs to do so. first time I heard Fading Lights by Genesis, it was so amazing and exceeded my expectations of the song, being 90s Genesis as it is...I wanted to cry. But couldn't. BLARG ------------- I'm so prog, I clap in 9/8 |

Not actual tears, I guess but I have come close at various moments on 'In the Region of the Summer Stars' by The Enid, notably, 'Tower of Babel' 'The Lovers' and 'Judgement' Also, 'The Pass' by Rush especially the line 'All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer by the stars' Too many Genesis moments to re-call, but most actually from the Collins era to be honest. 'Mad Man Moon' 'One for the Vine' 'Afterglow' 'Undertow' 'Burning Rope' 'Dukes Travels' (I am the one..who guided you etc..) Kate Bush, the first chorus on 'Running up that Hill' always gets me. Also 'The Ninth Wave' the whole suite brings a lump to my throat. Other songs include 'Blow Away' 'The man with the child in his eyes' ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

My dad cries often when listening music, ecpesially after a few beers.
I'm somehow jealous for him because of that, since I think I never
really cried because of music. Sometimes crying is good for your health. However there are some songs that bring me very close to tears: - Van Der Graaf Generator's Refugees. This is so beautiful, sad and still somehow hopeful song. - The Band's Whispering Pines. Not really prog, but what a beautiful song. There's also some personal memories which link to this song for me. The songs that make me emotional usually link to theme of death (at least to me), since I've lost a few important persons in my life a few years ago. |

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) ------------- I'm the shadow man, the jumping jack The man who can, but won't look back |

I don't usually cry at the sheer beauty of a song when I'm listening to it for the first time but if there's something going on in my life that's getting me depressed then Prog either heals the wound or opens it: Eg: When I had to choose, between two men who BOTH loved me at the time, who of them would be my boyfriend (I'm not saying this to brag- I'm being honest here) it made me cry to hear Coldplay's 'What if' and Genesis' 'More Fool Me'. When my boyfriend was sad, I wept at Firth of fifth (strange one-I know. It's the flute and piano duet you see.) Paradise/The Spell- Uriah Heep =Same reason. hmmm....I can't really think of any more. OH- when I was having fights with my mum- Nightwish music! As you can see: music can make me happy and can be a comfort but where tears are concerned- I'm the type of person to be affected by PEOPLE! ------------- 50 tonne angel falls to the earth... |

Yes, it is Pero (I'm talking about Refugees)Hammill's melodious voice is simply made to sing such beautiful and abounding in feelings songs..
REFUGEES 'North was somewhere years ago and cold: Ice locked the people's hearts and made them old. South was birth to pleasant lands, but dry: I walked the waters' depths and played my mind. East was dawn, coming alive in the golden sun: the winds came, gently, several heads became onein the summertime, though august people sneered;we were at peace, and we cheered. We walked alone, sometimes hand in hand,between the thin lines marking sea and sand; smiling very peacefully,we began to notice that we could be free,and we moved together to the West.West is where all days will someday end;where the colours turn from grey to gold,and you can be with the friends. And light flakes the golden clouds above all; West is Mike and Susie,West is where I love. There we shall spend our final days of our lives; tell the same old stories: yeah well,at least we tried.Into the West, smiles on our faces, we'll go; oh, yes, and our apologies to thosewho'll never really know the way. We're refugees, walking away from the lifethat we've known and loved;nothing to do or say, nowhere to stay;now we are alone.' ------------- |

dont you know that we the israelians just love to cry? i dont cry from music, but sometimes i get close to that, it happens with "sweet sadness" if you know what i mean... an example which i found in the archives: comus - first utterance also i got this feeling from a lot of israeli stuff like Gronich & Caspi "behind the tunes". happy crying !

Do I cry because of music? Yes!, often and frequently! All kinds of music makes me cry, I weep at the opera, Barber's adagio makes me cry, Sade "love will get you through", George Micheal (a lot of his stuff is a killer!) a record was released here in the UK this week called "we Laughed"........and I blub helplessly before the intro is over! and so to prog.......... yep, if it aint got passion and emotion then I don't listen to it.I am not a fan of pipe clanging prog........ I don't just listen to weepy tracks, but I do like suff that is full of soul and is heart felt and real, wether thats happy or sad. The Wishing Well part 1, (for your journey) Pendragon, makes me cry, I have heard this track hundreds of times and it still does it, its so emotional!

| The Long and Winding Road by The Beatles (really a Paul McCartney track). I like the original release version with full string arrangement. |

I have been moved to tears more than once, but perhaps the album that
moved me more than anything else ever has is Brave by
Marillion,the concept is about a girl who runs away from her horrific
past and finds herself on the streets and unable to cope with life. If
I'm ever feeling down and I listen to this album, especially the song
'Brave' it moves me to tears.

I ususally crie for music when I listen to Genesis, specially with musical box or with Cinema Show. And when I listen to A change of Seasons from Dream Theater, because is a very special song for me, it was my first true prog song. I jst love it Another song thats makes me cry is Close to the Edge from Yes, because the part of the church organ is magnificent and a bit frightening, I cannot avoid crying there. |

Well, I usually don't cry with a song (except with More Fool Me because it ruins a great album) but very often I feel like electricity on my spine with some great music, like for example the instrumental section of Can Utility and the Coastliners, the keyboard solo on Close to the Edge, the violin on Miracles Out of Nowhere, etc. Iván -------------
