![โฮ่ง! (SUGOI) - LYKN [ OFFICIAL MV ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nFp4zjAARFs/mqdefault.jpg)
"The sun in your eyes, made some of the lies worth believing" is one of the best lyric lines ever.
Factoid. Thank you.
100% correct 🤟
Agreed, buddy. From a truly amazing song.
At this time in my life, it rings so true!
FACTS
In 1984, Michael Jordan's rookie year, Sirius became the opening anthem for the Chicago Bulls.
Cannot hear this without thinking “AT GUARD, FROM NORTH CAROLINA… MICHAEL JORDAN….”
Exactly. I grew up watching Jordon and the Bulls for years. The moment i heard the intro it took me back to those times! Cheers!
The greatest opening anthem ever
Greatest intro in sports ! Watch this in the 1998 NBA Finals game 4...CLASSIC !

@@bobashley7533 this. I keep waiting for player introductions….
"Old and Wise" is on this album. It's heartbreaking and terrific.
I so totally agree! One of my favourite songs. Colin Blunstone of the Zombies is singing this one!
If you think Old and Wise is heartbreaking, try out their 'Shadow of A Lonely Man' from Pryamania, and Limelight, from Stereotomy. Shadow will break your heart. When you look up Limelight, you want the video with the black and white movie in it. It's a Charlie Chaplin movie, and it fits the song perfectly. I can't wait till they react to Shadow and Limelight.
YES!!! Amazing song. I love the whole album!!!
One of All Time favourites.
Alan Parsons was the studio magician behind "Dark Side of the Moon".
People tend to overblow Alan Parsons importance on the "Project". I'd say Eric Woolfson was as paramount to the project as Parsons and I doubt their style would have been the same without him. This is particularly apparent when you listen to "Freudiana" which is still produced by Parsons and was at first planned to be another APP release, but none of the songs were written by him, and yet the album still sounds very much like an APP album.
And after Woolfson left the project, the music sounded different.
I. LOVE. THIS. WHOLE. ALBUM!!!
As an 80s kid this was my FIRST true appreciation for a song as a work of art. I NEVER turn the station or skip this song when it plays.
On my reaction channel I interpret this as “how to respond to a narcissist.”
I believe most of the Alan Parson Project albums from 1977- 1982 opened with an instrumental such as Sirius for this album. And IMHO they’re all fantastic hooks !
And now... The Starting lineup for your WORLD CHAMPION, Chicago Bulls!!!
Amazing how they were world champions, only in America and nowhere else, a truly magnificent achievement.
Are you trying to pretend like anyone else in the world would have had a chance in the 90s against the bulls?!? Toni Kukoc was literally top three rest of world player and was 4th or 5th best player on their second three-peat team...
Super band, super catalog. APP is amazingly theatrical, each song is like part of a play, and like a play they concentrate on mood and make the lyrics blend into the mood to create an overall feel and atmosphere. The solos are clean and only intensify the mood instead of standing out. They usually are in standard pop format with an A section, A B section, a break and a repeat of the A section but with additional sparks. But the pop is sprinkled with a prog sound and some cool unusual chords and rhythms.
Quite genius, in fact.
Going to see APP? I'm pea green with envy! You're gonna have a blast. They've been making great music for nearly 50 years. Have a blast!!
Some of their best songs had Eric Woolfson’s vocals, he is truly missed….
The opening{7:05-8:40} of this album has made it's way into many sports stadiums, it's makes a dramatic opening for a home team's appearance coming onto the field{or ice, lol}
What was so special was looking at the album cover or sleeve to discover the band members and instruments played, lyrics, recording engineer plus all the great artwork. Most did this while the music was playing and not until the end during the first listen. With this said, don’t change a thing. Love watching your reaction to the music of my life.😊
I like the way you “do your research “ right in front of us , as the music plays. For my money; you have to fall in love with the song FIRST , then you can dive deep into the production, lyrics, vocals and instruments. You’ll never learn it all, but it sure is fun learning what you love!
guys, people dig humility you have that
I bought this album when it came out - I was in my early 20's with my first stereo system and it was one of my first purchases. Several of the songs on my playlists to this day, including Eye in the Sky. Parsons is a master.
I saw Alan Parsons live in Florida last February. You're in for an amazing show! Enjoy! P.S. the opening act was Carl Palmer's Emerson Lake and Palmer Legacy show. Carl Palmer is still an amazing drummer. Too bad Greg Lake and Keith Emerson are no longer with us.
Lucky! I have everything ELP ever released in vinyl. First band I really, really liked. So naturally I love APP, too!
Quote from Wikipedia; In October 1967, at the age of 18, Parsons went to work as an assistant engineer at Abbey Road Studios. He was a tape operator during the Beatles' Get Back sessions, and he earned his first credit on the LP Abbey Road. He became a regular there, engineering such projects as Wings' Wild Life and Red Rose Speedway, five albums by the Hollies, and Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, for which he received his first Grammy Awards nomination.
I haven’t watched your full album reaction yet but I will shortly - I’m sure you’ll love it. He had a string of absolute masterpiece albums with Tales of Mystery & Imagination, I Robot, Pyramid, Eve, and The Turn of a Friendly Card, all of which I think you would enjoy. He also recently released a new album! I wish I could be there for the concert and meet-up, sounds like a blast, I’ve never seen them live.
"Sirius" was the de-facto theme song for the Chicago Bulls in the late 80s and 90s. It played over the PA as Michael Jordan and the team ran onto the court at the beginning of each home game.
I can totally picture that; thank you!!!
And The Man In The Middle.
Glad to see younger generations appreciating this music. And don't feel bad. I am 71 and still finding songs in say the 80s or 90s I missed. Favorite line is I am the maker of rules, dealing with fools, I can cheat you blind. As I got older I thought that was brilliant.
You two a great, salt of the earth people. Really good to know there are people out there like you. Wonderful reactions, your love of music shines through.
Aww thank you so much! ❤️
Now then, you super guys. Bloody great to see you back! I can remember playing this album to death, driving round the South-West Scottish highlands many years ago. Every time I play it, I think of then. Probably the best album from one hell of an amazing band.
Played this continuously when it came out, one of my all-time favourite tracks by anybody.
Great band, saw them 2 years ago. Awesome show, enjoy NicknLex !!! 💖
This song brings back so many memories of high school. I love Sirius too. It’s used at so many sporting events. My favorite Alan Parson Project song is Games People Play. I have to say that listening to these songs now, I appreciate the lyrics so much more. Great reaction!!
Can't wait for your reaction to the concert!
This was great you guys! You are going to love the concert. I saw them live in 1995 when they toured together with Kansas at The Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, MD fantastic show, next from them you should do the album Tales Of Mystery And Imagination 👍🏽👍🏽
We learned by reading album covers…which not only provided great/ unique art…but great info on band membership/ production…Long live vinyl…didn’t need Wikipedia regarding this!
Just saw them live - their hits from the show are on my channel - the old folks including myself were going nuts. Special to hear live, and the lyrics to Eye in the Sky are special. It was a fun night with a special performer and band.
CHICAGOOO BULLSSSSS!!!!
I love all the different types of artists that you two cover. This was very good and it is so nice seeing you two display your love of music. This channel is awesome.
PS Now I want a brownie.
Cool!
When I worked in the suburbs of Philly in an era known as ‘The Main Line’ (where trading places was partly filmed) there was a pizza/hoagie shop called ‘Pie in the Sky’. Getting hungry just thinking about it.😀
Not really on topic, but there is a great British detective show called ‘Pie In The Sky’. It’s about a police detective in rural England who is trying to retire & run his very own restaurant called ‘Pie In The Sky’ despite many obstacles.
Wow! And you will see them live. Life just gets better for you two! Would have recommended (edited)Pyramid and Turn of a Friendly Card, but this way you get to keep the best for later! These 2 are nice though. Near-ELP levels of excellence. For me. Pyramid and Turn of a Friendly Card are their AJA and Gaucho....
The Eagle Will Rise Again 👍🏽
@@mauriciodelarosa2449 That's the one, Mauricio! Also, In the Lap of the Gods. AND Shadow of a Lonely Man. And You Can't Take It With You....
Groovy 80’s hanging out at the arcade in my down with a couple warm McDonalds cheeseburgers in my pockets, keeping my hands warm btw games…vibes. This upcoming show will be awesome.
Such a late 70s and early 80s vibe. Like Alpert's Rise, and Chuck Mangione it's part of the feel of the time. Puts me right in my 14/15 yr old self, childhood home, street & neighborhood.
Un disco inolvidable, único, completo. A piece of art.
Mammagamma is one hell of an instrumental song, the grand-father of techno and electronic music, it's also part of this album. You should check it out.
Hi. great reaction. 3 years ago Alan Parsons released an album and one song on it is called As Lights Fall. He created an excellent video for it. When you watch the video there are many hidden visuals about his past. You have to watch it a few times to pick them out. The song is so good!!!! You must watch this video before you go to the concert. I bet they will play it. I went to see Alan Parsons Project a few years ago at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo and it was an excellent show. You're going to love it!!!!! I been a fan since they released their first album. I am curious if you watched the video, what your reaction is. Please let me know!!!
The Chicago Bulls uses this as their entering on to the court for their basketball games, it really is outstanding, the combo, check it our sometime.
Was able to meet you guys when I sat near you at The Paramount ! Love this stuff.
Hi! Glad you made it here; hope you enjoy and stay in touch!! 🤘 😀
Can't stop thinking about MJ23 and the Chicago Bulls of the 90's
I truly love this album from beginning to end.
A great reaction guys. I'm so pleased you let the transition play.
I'd recommend you listen to the 1995 'The Very Best of Alan Parsons Project Live' an outstanding live album.
One of the most awesome and underrated songs ever!
I got started with APP with Pyramid when it actually came out. One of my favorites. EITS is also a great album. All of my APP is on vinyl so I don’t listen to them as much as I used and should.
And FYI based on something you said;
APP used several different singers.
Love song that start with layering. Start with one simple instrument then bring in another and then another and another getting more and more sophisticated in composition but because of the layering you can still hear each of the instruments "wonderful" . An album of Alan Parsons i recommend to anyone who might like a to discover a AP gem that did get promoted here in New Zealand was " Vulture Culture " it has a deep red cover with a famous bronze sculpture of a Snake eating it own tall which is very apt for the album.
NOW you know why I am an.... alanparsonsfan!!
It's fun guessing when y'all do the " air instruments" I do them too it makes the channel fun ✨
I am a Alan Parson fan - Music from the 70s and 80s is some of the best music of our time. Not sure if it is the Drugs or talent or both. Alan Parsons is a genius. There is Alot of great music from Him.
Alan Parson was the producer for Dark Side if the Moon. It's all connected...
Wow , you'll be seeing AP on my daughter's birthday. Remember Alan Parsons engineered Dark Side of the Moon. Lots more AP to explore. Sirius was used for the 1990s Chicago Bulls introductions...Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. Its name is derived from the Greek word Σείριος, or Seirios, meaning lit. 'glowing' or 'scorching'.
I love Alan Parsons productions.
I got turned onto Alan Parsons with Tales of Mystery and Imagination Edgar Allan Poe and continued buying his albums through Guadi. Only got to see them once in Denver many years ago.
OMG lol 12:37. Nick sings back the whole song, in an attempt to explain how it feels! 😂 😊
Classic album!
'Sirius', what the first track is named for, is the brightest star in the night sky, and the second "i" is not silent. The name is pronounced, 'see-ree-oos'. It comes from the Greek, 'Seirios', meaning, 'glowing', or, 'scorching'.
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. Its name is derived from the Greek word Σείριος, or Seirios, meaning lit. 'glowing' or 'scorching'. The star is designated α Canis Majoris, Latinized to Alpha Canis Majoris, and abbreviated Alpha CMa or α CMa.
what happened to your camera? White balance and focus are way off
They are recording in 360p -- I guess budget cuts. The sound is OK, so fine.
It’s so odd how it changes settings on us out of no where and we can’t ever get them back when it happens! Sorry about that!
I also think "Taxi" and "Cats In The Cradle" by Harry Chapin also need a critical listen from time to time. They both deserve it. Edit: And just about every Steely Dan song in existence.
Chapin was a storytelling genius. I still marvel at his brilliance and mourn the loss of the material that car crash took from us all.
49k! 🎈😜👍❤ congrats!
Good to see you have reacted to some of the APP staples such as this, Time, Old and Wise. Everyone has their favourites and hopefully you’ll get round to The Turn of a Friendly Card, Don’t Let It Show, Days are Numbers etc. APP fans all have their underrated favourites and my two would be The Shadow of a Lonely Man (sung by John Miles) and Limelight (sung by Gary Brooker). Parsons and Woolfson worked up the songs and then brought in guest singers such as Colin Blunstone, Steve Harley, Chris Rainbow et al, although they realised that in Woolfson himself they had an ideal interpreter for some of their output. Looking forward to seeing some more of your reactions to them.
Great intro guys. As far as sounding like Pink Floyd, it really only applies to their first 3 albums or so. By the time of "Eve" (1979), they started to go in a more pop, easy-listening direction, although "Turn of a Friendly Card" (1980) has an excellent progressive/classical suite on Side 2. Their last official APP album is "Gaudi" (1987) which sees them returning to a more progressive style.
Just when it looked like they might be leaving their progressive ambitions behind, they deliver big time with the "Turn of a Friendly Card" suite.
What could be more easy listening than Pink Floyd? Their songs make you comfortably numb.😉
Alan Parsons cut his teeth at Abbey Road studio on the album of the same name! Yes he was assistant engineer on Dark Side.
Love the Alan Parsons project ! You might try old and wise and Days are numbers and Silence and I all great songs ! Keep it up love your reactions
I love how you two tear up over music. Some songs do that to me too. Either it reminds me of something or 12:54 someone or it’s just so beautiful. You both are great!
Thank you for your support!! Hope you enjoy our other reactions! :) - Lex
"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"
Great tune to listen to after finding your love has betrayed you.
BTW fun fact Alan Parsons was the sound engineer for Pink Floyd... I've also heard that Alan Parsons can play just about every instrument in his band.
SO GOOD to see you BACK Nick and Lex! I hope everything went well and worked out for your mom, Nick.
Thank you!! It’s going day by day and we are so blessed to have been able to do what we did!! ❤️
Lucky, I never saw Alan Parsons........but did see Queen 3 times
alan also engineered Beatles Abby Road and Let It Be
So the “i” in Sirius is not silent and sounds just like serious. But check out the info below. Interesting story and there is a great song you might wasn’t to check out called Wishing On A Dog Star by Perry Farrell,Satellite Party. Great song with great lyrics.
Sirius, The God * Dog Star
The effect of Sirian energy and influences generated during 1993 / 1994 (the last cycle when Sirius A and B were closest), created renewed interest in this most influential heavenly body. The history books and religions of the world have had much to say about the God * Dog star. This article reflects on our ancestors' beliefs and inspired insights into a great mystery ~ the mystery of the Dog Star and its influences on our little corner of the universe.
Very distinctive mechanical beat, works well. Can't go wrong with AP ! :)
Thank you for your great reaction! I saw Alan Parsons Project earlier this year for the first time and it was an amazing experience! I hope you will give your reaction to the concert in a future video. Sirius is definitely the introduction to Eye in the Sky and is one of the best openings to any album. Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls adopted this as their theme song in the 80's and 90's. Keep up the great work and have fun at the concert!
Sirius ended up being played at many sports arenas when the home team takes the field or court before the start of play.
ALLEN PARSONS was the engineer on PINK FLOYDS DARK SIDE OF THE MOON I HAVE SEVERAL ALBUMS BY THE BAND FANTASTIC
Alan Parsons Project is a band that fascinated me in the first song! Very happy to hear this fantastic band again and to see them together here once again! Brazilian greetings! 🇧🇷
Have a great time at the concert!
I saw them many years ago. They opened for Yes, who were on the road
promoting their album 90125.
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky and was very important to the ancient Egyptians…. They believed it was the home and Seat of their Gods. And the Eye in the Sky was the Eye of Horus. When you listen to the introductory deep synth at the opening of Sirius, think of that distant alien sun blazing hot blue in interstellar space… shining 100,000 times brighter than our own sun. I can almost see and feel the shimmering heat and radiance of it in the opening notes of the introduction. Then the almost serpentine weaving of the notes between the ascending and descending strings.
Should watch the Chicago bulls theme, literally it’s their entrance
Parsons was one of the engineers on the Abbey Road album itself!!
What a musicians
My Favorite from AP Project Tales of mystery and imagination - Fall of the House of Usher - Arrival.
Thank you so much for reacting to this incredible song. It's as close to perfect as you can get. I'm going getting on Patreon now.
You guy,s should react to some Van Morrison, like Glad Tiding,s or Tupelo Honey, or Into to the Mystic. He,s a great singer songwriter! Par excellance! Pura Vida Caio/ Thx 😉🙃
Just a quick message about my time in Mexico City and the pastry and cake shops. Wow!!!
Did you try El Globo!? Also, checkout Season 1 episode on Mexico City of the show called Somebody Feed Phil - you’ll really appreciate it!! :)
"Sirius" es posiblemente el mejor instrumental que he escuchado.
Alan Parsons Project is one my favorite bands. I have nearly all their studio CDs. "Eye in the Sky" is awesome! You will love it. I wish I was in the Denver area to go see them live and do that meet and greet with you.
You need to listen to Tales of Mystery and Imagination from beginning to end. It's all based on Edgar Allen Poe stories. I love Alan Parsons, but his one is my absolutely favorite.
Sirius ("seer-ee-us" - from Greek "Seirios"), according to Homer, was the canine companion of Orion the Hunter in Greek mythology. Sirius is also the name of the brightest star in the Earth's night sky (the "Eye in the Sky"?) - the star lies near the foot of the constellation Orion.
The song is an excellent example of layering - with a consistent pattern over which are added layers of counter-melodies and harmonies - but which then peel away to leave a different pattern which sets up the following song. APP did this as the album opener on their first album with "A Dream Within A Dream" (less layers, but a spoken vocal is a significant layer) leading into "The Raven", again on I Robot which begins with the title song leading into "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You", on Pyramid with "Voyager" leading into "What Goes Up". "Eve" was the first album to break with the theme - while "Lucifer" is a layered instrumental, there is a clear division between it and "You Lie Down with Dogs". "The Turn of a Friendly Card" was the first APP album not to start with an instrumental, instead featuring a 16-minute multi-movement piece taking up almost the whole second side of the original LP. This^ album - "Eye In the Sky" - returns to the "instrumental leading into a vocal song as album opener" form, but it is again discarded and not returned to until the peri-Project album "Freudiana" (mostly an Eric Woolfson effort - most copies do not call it an Alan Parsons Project album, but Alan is featured, and did have some hand in the creation of the album.)
APP is a bit hard to do reactions to - almost every album is a concept album and loses a great deal if one doesn't listen to the whole album: both Parsons and Eric Woolfson had classical educations, and there are many references to Greek and Roman mythology, and not getting a reference can change the meaning of a song, which then affects the next song!
---------------------------------------------
You also mentioned King Crimson and DGM's zealous guardianship of their music. The best way I know to react to KC music "on-camera" is to react to one of the several "splinter" bands: Adrian Belew's Power Trio / Power Quartet plays a number of songs from his time in KC, and Tony Levin's Stick Men (Tony and Pat Mastelotto are both past and current members of KC) plays a number of KC tunes at their live performances that are well worth reacting to.
I love APP, and they have many great songs, but I think my favorite (if not their best) is Days are Numbers.
When ever I hear "Sirius" I automaticly travel back in time to a "Chicago Bulls" game with MJ on the court.
Have a great time at the show. I will be celebrating my 62nd birthday, that day. Peace & Love.
Good Reaction but The LIVE version is wonderful with THe Orchestra. It had 66 MILLION views for a reason Guys😀
Tomorrow is the big day for Major Dude and Major Dudette!!!🤣
During the 7 years that I lived in Vallarta I was lucky enough to watch the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen in my life, my eyes were always in the sky, looking west, to Banderas Bay and these songs were part of my background music.
We can absolutely relate to that!! 🧡 Thanks for sharing!
Headphones are a must. Cheers 😊🍁
Eye in the Sky (1957) es una novela de Phillip K. Dick, escritor de ciencia ficción, al cual se deben obras tan magistrales como, Do Androids dream of Electronic Sheep? (1968) (Blade Runner en su adaptación para el cine), The Man in the High Castle (1962) o relatos como Minority Report (1956) llevado al cine por Steven Spielberg.
De Alan Parsons Project recomiendo su primer album, Tales of Mystery and Imagination
(1976) dedicado a Edgar Allan Poe. Aparte de ser ingeniero de sonido de Pink Floyd en Dark Side Of The Moon tambien lo fue en los albums The Beatles, Abbey Road y Let It Be
Saludos y me alegro de que ambos estéis bien.
Gracias por la info! Somos fans de Philip K Dick y no sabíamos!
Guys, the wonderful thing about the music you react to, for a 66-year-old veteran, is having lived it since it appeared, having heard it for the first time since the beatles with their evolution, until the 80s, which according to me, creativity disappeared a lot , except for rare exceptions , thank you for reminding me of those times !!!!!
I saw Alan Parsons open for two bands, and in both cases I enjoyed them more than the headliner! Made me go buy a few more of their albums. Very fun to listen to.
Sirius is a world-famous intro at sporting events indoors. The lights are shut off, the music comes on, then the lights, and the starting line-ups are introduced. It was really common in the NBA.
