"The Sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth believing". Love that line, genius.
-
âWouldnât want to be like youâ is another great song from APP.
-
Alan Parsons was an engineer for the Beatles at Abbey Road studio and worked extensively with Pink Floyd. He came up with lots of major innovations including forms of multi-tracking with older equipment. He is a technical genius (as well as so many other plaudits.
-
âDonât Answer Meâ is another of their forgotten hits from the 80s
-
"I wouldn't want to be like you" and "Games people play" are great songs too but different again to this.
-
Alan Parsons has the most top tier fidelity in all of his productions. Alan Parsons said the idea of the song came from how cameras, satellites, etc and privacy were all disappearing in the modern age.
-
So many great songs. Breakdown, I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You, The Raven, Damned If I Do, Games People Play, Psychobabble, Prime Time, Don't Answer Me, You Don't Believe, Let's Talk About Me, Stereotomy, Freudiana, You're On Your Own, Upper Me.
-
Thank you for reacting to this song, please consider listening to Al Stewartâs song â Year of the Catâ. Just not the live version please. Alan Parsons engineered this amazing song and I really believe youâll enjoy it. Thanks for sharing your time with us.
-
I bought the "I Robot" album on the day it hit the record stores...because it had a cool album cover. By evening all my friends were hooked too. Alan Parsons is a genius.
-
The "intro" is actually a separate song called "Sirius", but it also serves as an intro to "Eye in the Sky".
-
Alan Parson project was done by studio musicians and what a fantastic job they did.
-
Favorite memory-I was a teenager babysitting a little 4 year old for the summer. She would sing Eye in the Sky and she was so cute!!
-
I remember in high school when this came out, the book "1984" was quite popular and many people thought that the eye in the sky was referring to Big Brother from the book.
-
I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You is another Great song from them.
-
ANYTHING from masterpiece APP album The Turn of a Friendly Card is brilliant. Also a deep cut called âPrime Timeâ where the guitar is perfect. Deep rabbit hole this.
-
"You cant take it with You"is a must listen too by this Band
-
You asked what part of Pink Floyd he engineered. He did ALL of Darkside of the Moon. He knew it was going to be special so took the shifts of the other engineers just so he could work on it
-
Fun fact: The intro to Eye in the Sky, also known as Sirius, was the entrance music for the Chicago Bulls during the Michael Jordan era. Also, Eye in the Sky was the biggest hit for The Alan Parsons Project, spending 3 weeks at #3 and 17 weeks in the BILLBOARD Top Forty in 1982.
-
"Wouldn't Wamt To Be Like You" is another great one as well as "Games People Play".
-
According to Alan Parsons, itâs about the ubiquity of surveillance cameras (even more relevant now), along referring to the surveillance cameras in casinos, commonly referred to as the âEye in the Skyâ. The lyrics âI am the Eye in the Skyâ/Looking at you/I can read your mind/The maker of rules/Dealing with fools/I can cheat you blindâŠâ is the best description of a casino Iâve ever heard.
