The Alan Parsons Project was a progressive rock band. I enjoyed them, but honestly, lots of my friends didn’t care for them. Apparently the music the Alan Parson Project released was too mellow for that lot. The heyday of their music was in the late seventies, when groups like Kiss and other glam rockers were deafening stadiums of people.
So, I seemed mostly alone in my Alan Parsons Project admiration. One particular song was “Eye In The Sky.” Using this song as inspiration, I wrote a short story about the eye in the sky watching humans. No, it was never sold. It’s probably in a drawer, somewhere, though. I don’t throw writing out. I leave that to others.
Take a listen and see what you think of the song. It came out a little later, in nineteen eighty-two. Let me knows if it moves you to sleep, as it moved my friends. Cheers

I wasn’t aware of it, and had to look it up. Thanks for the comment. Cheers

I like this music, but I think APP tried to be too many things to too many. There is a sonic edge to the music, and the lyrics are, for the most part, gentle but social commentary. The overall feel, though is that of most pop rock of the eighties.

Yes, they were scattered, weren’t they? Yes, that’s why the eighties seem lamentable. I frequently thought there was imitations of hits, but that’s how it is with commercial art isn’t it?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Nothing succeeds like success. Etc. That was the eighties.
