It saddens me that this particular song gained you fewer viewers than normal.
This is SUCH a powerful song.
Yes, its such a great song, and Colin's vocals are so good.
Methinks only those in age who face the final curtain truly understand this song.
@@brok328 I love the live vertion with the schottis twist ,
facts
@@mikeberray1175 what does the final curtain mean?
This song has a very special place in my heart. It was a favorite of my brother-in-law John. He was killed by a crazy woman who hit him at 115 mph. We played this at his funeral. It's beautiful but bittersweet.
Sorry for your loss🙏☮️
@@joelliebler5690 thank you.
I have this song on my playlist for my funeral (which I hope is still a ways off). Second song is Time by Alan Parsons. Love this song. It still brings tears to my eyes after 40 years.
Such a beautiful song. I hope way off too. Song at my funeral. England Dan and John Ford Coley. Love is the answer.
@@cynthiabustamante2884 Also a good one. Some choose a upbeat song so people leave the funeral dancing or smiling. Everyone is different.
@Jeff S mine too! I'm hoping it isn't for a while yet, but both songs are on my list. Love Alan Parsons Project
@@shella5963 Glad I am not alone on that. Wish he would tour the west coast.
@@HRConsultant_Jeff I'm in Australia, no hope of a tour here!
This was my late wifes favorite Alan Parsons song. Alan got Colin Blunstone to sing this beautiful song. He was the lead singer for the Zombies back in the 60s. Thanks for a great reaction.
FYI. He still is the lead singer for The Zombies, who with Rod Argent have been performing as
The Zombies since 2004 as well as recording new albums.
@@mrnobody3161 So glad to hear that.
Always loved this! Such a masterpiece!
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL SONG 🎵
One of my all time favourite songs. Co-written by Alan Parsons and Eric Wolfson on the 1982 Eye in the Sky album. They brought in Colin Blumstone of the Zombies to sing. In my view, a perfect voice for this song. I am loving the lyrics too!.. "bitter words mean little to me, autumn winds will blow right through me" ... "when they ask you if you knew, remember that you were a friend of mine". Thank you for this memory!
I saw The Zombies a couple of years ago, and Colin sang this. I never knew!
"As the final curtain falls before my eyes.."
Just ... beautiful .. gets you right in the feels ..
First heard that line 40 years ago .. hit me hard then .. even harder NOW!
That was a beautiful song. I have never heard it before. I really like their song "Eye in the Sky". This one was almost cinematic, I felt like I had watched a movie that filled me with a multitude of emotions.
colin blunstone of the zombies is doing the vocals on this one.
This is one of my favorite songs. This will sound morbid but I want this played at my funeral... it's so beautiful.
I love this song, but hearing it today really hit me hard. Today was the funeral of my beloved Aunt.
Thanks so much for choosing this special song!
Very sorry to hear of your loss.
@@timmholl9238 Thank you!
This is such a lovely song. Alan Parsons Project was known for their different sounds from album to album. They did an entire album based on Edgar Allen Poe stories, “Tales of Mystery and Imagination.” Some good songs to check out: “Eye In The Sky,” “Silence And I,” “Games People Play,” “Time,” and “Stereotomy.”
Eric Woolfson recorded a follow-up album called "Poe: More Tales of Mystery and Imagination." This one is a little different in that its songs focus more on the author's life, although there are some songs based on Poe's works, including his poem "The Bells" set to music. Woolfson even created a stage musical of "Poe" that was performed at Abbey Road Studio and is available on DVD. Hope you delve into more of the Project's works in the near future.
Absolute genius
My favorite band from the 70's and 80's. My favorite Album was always Turn of a Friendly Card... Worth listening to the entire album. This one here I want played at my funeral.
My favorite album by them too. I used to play the entire album while doing homework in my bedroom...
Beautiful song.
really good sax in this song. Big APP fan.
I have been a fan of Alan Parsons since 1978. This was the last song on "Eye in the Sky". A truly excellent LP from start to finish. This is prolly my all time fave song from Parsons. I don't want a funeral- but a memorial party. Just as long as they play this song. Beautiful.
I wish that Americans valued and respected the elderly like they do in so many other countries. I noticed the difference in how the elderly are treated during my European travels.
AWESOME SONG!!!!!!
I want this song played at my funeral. Always one of my favorites.
Alan parsons project were an awesome band
Are*, they're still touring
This song always brings me to tears. Always.
Also: GO O's!
This song is Timeless
This song has made me cry for many years. I am 71 . 💋😭❤
Love Alan Parsons project they have a huge number of great songs try dammed if I do and silence and I and don’t answer me and time
Such a wonderful reaction
Mel even though you are a spring chicken, you seem to be wise. I salute you girl.
I can relate because I am 70 yrs old 👍👌
You should listen to Neil Diamond's song "Be" sometime, from the Jonathan Livingston Seagul soundtrack. It's in this same vein, and is awesome. Love watching you two!
Woolfson was the piano/keyboard player and main vocalist for AAP There was no single group of players; because, EW and AP found terrific session players and vocalists throughout their tenure as the Project. And, as you can see, we're all better off for it. They were an exceptional group of musicians This year was the 50th anniversary of my high school graduation (1972). We were all requested to name a song that best represented our philosophy today. I chose this. It wasn't difficult.
Wow..... That was beautiful. This is one of those songs where you just close your eyes & listen..... Yes... beautiful ❤ 🎙 🎵 🎼
Sung by Colin Blunstone of Zombies fame. Fab voice!
Thank you for this beautiful song. It's one of my favorites.
Thank you !!!
This is 4th clip in a row of yours I've watched this morning.. a wide variety of music styles.. country.. soul.. female duo.. and then this song that I don't really know what to classify?
This wistful masterpiece isn't that well known..I only stumbled upon it last year..it's not even on their 'best of' album. Saxophone solo is a thing of beauty.
One of the most poignant and beautiful songs of meaning ever written.
Beautiful timeless song.
Thank you!
I have liked APP since high school. They have lot's of good songs.
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORK OF ART. I have always loved this song
A little late to the party but Eye In The Sky and I Robot are two incredible albums. And the they have so many other grear albums as well. Just beautiful.
I found this song on a top ten sax solos,it wasn't on the list but someone recommended this song and it instantly became my favorite by them.
FYI. The vocals are performed by Colin Bluestone who still tours and records with The Zombies, who were reconstituted in 2004 with Colin and Rod Argent.
For your information: Alan Parsons is an English audio engineer, songwriter, musician and record producer.
Parsons was involved with the production of several albums, including the Beatles' Abbey Road (1969) and Let It Be (1970), Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), and the eponymous debut album by Ambrosia in 1975.
A sad song delivered with such a captivating sound that it sneaks up on you.
Lets talk about me. Games People Play, Breakdown, Sirius Eye in the Sky. Awesome choice. Alan Parson was the engineer for the Beatles and Pink Floyd back in the late 60's and 70's. I Robot is a classic.
Reading all these comments related to "funerals" I am happy to say that THIS song can only be listened and felt when alive.
OMG…I really love this song it’s very touching and it always brings me to tears😢
I have had at least two different friends tell me they will have this played at their funeral.
So smooth and melancholy.
Makes me cry every time.
Thank you for not breaking in with reactions during the song. It has... memories attached, from when it came out. I thought I understood it then. I understand it better now. I figure I'll understand it better later.
These are the masters of techical musicianship
A wonderful song from one of my favorite albums. Thank you
This is one of the funeral songs I have requested to be played at my funeral. This one and "Time". I just love these two songs. These two songs are just so beautiful!
You can love forever if you're saved
QUE BELLEZA DE CANCIÓN.
I love APP. Lots of great albums and songs. Thanks for doing this one. It’s one of my favorites.
This one, and "Time".
APP is legend.
thank you
"Don't Answer Me" is my favorite and you would love the video.
I Wouldn't Want to be Like You.... I really like that one!
This group , and PF is the best ever. And Alan was also the engineer on PF `s Dark side of the moon, so the creativity is absolute.They have so many great albums, I robot, eve,Freudiana,...
but , Don`t let it show , is one of the best.
Penso che il concetto di questa canzone del tempo che passa velocemente e tutti corriamo ogni giorno verso la fine sia stato ispirato a Alan Parson specialmente da " Time" e da tutto l' album "The dark side of the Moon " dei Pink Floyd al quale egli ha collaborato da tecnico del suono.
I love it when reactors dig deep and find wonderful but mostly unknown songs like this. I have a suggestion. There is a great Elton John song called 'Come Down in Time' from the Tumbleweed Connection album...and other great non-hit from a great artist.
Jackson Browne & David Lindley - Stay - Love Is Strange
ACOUSTIC ! LIVE Performant mash-up Stay. & Love is Strange (Mickey&Sylvia)
Beautiful. Ear Candy !!!!
Alan Parson Time Different than P/F.
Eye in the sky must hear Alan Parson helped Pink Floyd with the Dark Side of the Moon
Alan Parsons what a great artist . love his music. eye in the sky would be my next choice.
This is a very close 2nd favorite APP song (first being Don't Answer Me). Brilliant!
One of my favorite hip-hop samples, used by: Cuninlynguists, Fat Jon and CYNE
Forgto to say how sweet the 2 of you are ❤🔥
You guys ara buetiful
QUE BUENA CANCION!
The Alan Parsons Project were a Scottish-English rock band from the 70's-90's. They had a lot of hits in that time such as "The Raven", "(The System of) Dr. Tarr & Professor Fether", "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You", "Time", "Snake Eyes", "Sirius"/"Eye in the Sky", "Games People Play", "Don't Answer Me" etc.
This is my favorite song of all time- there is just so much feeling and emotion in it. Alan Parsons released another similar song a few years back- same theme, though a more hopeful tone to the song. Check it out!

I can't listen to this w/o getting choked up. I think of people I have known and I wonder if they ever think of me. I have to stop and go do something else for awhile.
I've been an Alan Parsons fan since they did "I Robot" in '76. I once listened to "Old and Wise," now I'm living it. You might try "Silence and I" from the same album. Regardless, bitchin' stuff from Alan Parsons is endless...
This has always been such a beautiful song but @ 60, it hits a bit harder for me. First time it hit me this way and I’ve herd it a thousand times. Sheesh.
Trying to put together the history of actual live performances of The Alan Parsons Project is almost impossible, as he was producing records (started studio engineering for the Beatles in 1967) for decades before ever performing live.. He produced scores of hits for many artists including his own for decades before ever taking to the stage.. Talk about the music standing alone. With virtually no live performing, his music stood on it's own merit. His albums truly were projects because there was no "band" , he used various artists as lead singers and musicians.. Hits covering decades without live performing has never been done by anyone else.. One of my favorites by Parsons is Don't Answer Me.. th-cam.com/video/hJMEaKHbnao/w-d-xo.html
It´s very cool this band. You can try another song: Time
If this made you sad, listen to their song, "Time".
Please do another Rush reaction! Manhattan project, marathon, subdivisions, Neil's drum solo, spirit of radio. 🙏 🙏 🙏
Colin Blunstone! The same singer of Time of the Season of The Zombies. The same singer that sings this one.
Love Alan Parson's Project! One of their best! Your next APP reaction should be "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You" (link below). It's a great song and one of my favorites of theirs. Thank you for this reaction! 💙✌
I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You - th-cam.com/video/qOwFVowEugQ/w-d-xo.html
If this one makes you feel sad, their song "Time" is going to cripple you with tears. I can't listen to it, it's so sad.
I wanna mix it up a little, “PROMISE” by JAGGED EDGE would be a good one to react to. I miss that kind of music
You guys should react to “why do things happen to me” by BB King. Amazing old soul and blues that is timeless and will be a classic for eternity
So many great songs. I think TIME may be the most beautiful song ever recorded. (In my opinion) Id love to see what you think of it.
I have never heard of this song but it was beautiful. Can you guys do a reaction video of Peter Gabriel in Your eyes? It’s a great beautiful song full of African drums. Look for the Peter Gabriel In Your Eyes Live
I'd like to request: Go Down Gamblin' by Blood, Sweat & Tears
When you hit my age of 63, let me know what you think, it's somewhat scary in a way. Knowing not much left for me. Lost so many friends and family. You indeed do think about it so much more
*CYNE used that other Alan Parson joint...Zion I, Birds Eye View used this one the best.
Check out Arc of a Diver by Steve Winwood and If there is Some for some complex beautiful songs...
Prove me wrong...
Listen to Van Morrison, the song Into the Misty. ❤ Yall.
Mystic
Hold until you're young again.
I've certainly grown older. not so certain about wiser.
APP: I Robot: "I Wouldn't Want to be Like You".
It looks similar to titanium rihana
He's dying and mostly what he focuses on are his friends.
Maybe he has no family?
You said virtually nothing about the music, the arrangement, the singing 🤷🏽♂️
This is the perfect example of how the brilliance of the Sixties was replaced by soulless electronic music. Music for the computer age where people’s minds were becoming dulled during the Eighties - and worse was to follow. The singer’s dirge-like voice is depressing. Ac, it’s not MUSIC it’s MUZAK, as they called it. Background mush for shops and supermarkets. I see most of the musicians were just session men. It sounds it. Music for Eighties Yuppies. Sad to se British music sinking.
You are incorrect IMHO.
"Soulless electronic music" - if you find it "soulless", that's your opinion, which I disagree with. However, to call this "electronic music" is simply *wrong* - it isn't 🤷🏽♂️
