Alan Parsons Project - Eye in The Sky

One night,Twenty Years ago I couldn't sleep. So I turned on my radio and heard this song It really made me feel good And I never never heard this song again till today.
This song really remind me to some old days. May be for You, too.

Eye in The Sky Lyric

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turnin' tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

Chorus:
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, [looking at you]
I can read your mind,[looking at you]
I can read your mind [looking at you]
I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusion behind
Don't cry, I ain't changin' my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gotta live anymore
Believin'
Some of the lies
While all of the signs are deceiving

Song Notes : "This was the most successful song the group ever had and was their only US Top-10 hit. It didn't fare as well in the UK, but then again, none of their songs did"

"This song is about being watched - by satellites, aircraft and cameras. It implies a future where we are constantly monitored and the government has taken away all our freedoms. It borrows heavily from the book 1984 and the concept of "Big Brother" created by George Orwell"

"Lead vocals were from Eric Woolfson, Parsons' main collaborator. He was Parsons' lyricist and manager"

"In some ways, this is an extension of The Alan Parsons Project's previous album The Turn of a Friendly Card, which deals with gambling. Woolfson spent a lot of time in casinos and was fascinated with the hidden cameras watching his every move"

"Parsons is a very successful sound engineer. He has worked on such albums as Abbey Road by the Beatles and Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd"

Pink Floyd - Money

Money Lyric

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money get back
I'm alright Jack keep your hands off my stack.
Money it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet

Money it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away

Song Notes : "Roger Waters is the only songwriter credited on this, but the lead vocal is by David Gilmour. Waters provided the basic music and lyrics, while the whole band created the instrumental jam of the song. Gilmour was the one overseeing time change and responsible the acclaimed guitar solo. Rick Wright and Nick Mason"

"The line, "Money, so they say, is a root of all evil today" is a paraphrase from the New Testament - 1 Timothy 6:10: 'For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil'. "

"In the documentary The Making of Dark Side Of The Moon, it was revealed that Roger Waters wrote this in his garden, and the original demo version was described by him as being 'Prissy and very English'. "

"This is often misinterpreted as a tribute to money. Many people thought the line "Money, it's a gas," meant they considered money a very good thing"

"The album was engineered by famed British producer and studio genius Alan Parsons at Abby Road Studios. Parsons later started his own band called The Alan Parsons Project and scored a hit in the '80s with "Eye In The Sky." He remains a much sought after music engineer and producer today"

Pink Floyd - Time

Time Lyric

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

BREATHE REPRISE
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

Song Notes : "This is about how time can slip by, but many people do not realize it until it is too late. Roger Waters got the idea when he realized he was no longer preparing for anything in life, but was right in the middle of it. He had just turned 28"

"The song starts with layers of clock noises that were put together by their engineer, Alan Parsons. Each clock was recorded separately at an antiques store, and the band blended them together. Parsons wanted to use the clocks to demonstrate a new quadraphonic sound system, but they ended up using it to open the song instead"

"This was the only song on Dark Side Of The Moon that all 4 members received a writing credit for"

"The album has sold over 34 million copies and was on the US charts for 762 consecutive weeks (14 years). It still sells around 8,000 copies a week in the US"

"The band played this live long before it was released. They played the whole album in February, 1972 at the Rainbow Theater in London, over a year before it came out"
