Sonng & Video of the Day

You ever have that band you might kind of like ... what you've heard on the radio sounded good.

And you meet someone who has that band as one of their top five, ever?

Yeah, me too.

That's how I got into the Alan Parsons Project. Granted, it was a dumb-sounding name for a band who made some great, melodic, hypnotic music with stories ripped from the headlines of mythology, history, and fantasy packaged in a way that was radio friendly without being a sell-out.

My roommate when I was in the air force was a huge Alan Parsons Project fan. He had, at the time, most or all of the cassettes, and we made mix tapes of each other's collections, and he really turned me on to some kick-ass Alan Parson Project songs. This one, however, was one I knew of ... cause it was kind of a hit.

And it just seems fitting to be today's song ... and video ... of the day.

"Eye in the Sky"
The Alan Parsons Project

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I'm not 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 the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusations before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

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

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore
Believing
Some of the lies
While all of the signs
Are deceiving

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.
