#TheAlanParsonsProject #Time #COLDEST - Hudba
Alan Parsons turned 75 and still going strong! Never tire of hearing this song.
"Time" means more to me every year that I exist on this planet..."time keeps flowing like a river, to the sea..." Yes sir, it just keeps flowing...I'm 65 years old, and mean to be here so much longer than most people would expect. Be warned...
I once heard Alan Parsons' song "Time" described as mesmerizingly beautiful. I can't disagree.
Funny story... I fell in love with this song as an 13y/o listening to the radio, but didn't know the artist.
So I went down to my local department store (Caldors) and went to the record section to search.
Well there was album there by ELO called Time... So I Bought it..
I was disappointed for maybe the first 10 minutes or so, when I realized the song I wanted to listen to wasn't there, but then WHAM!
I went back and purchased the APP album, but wasn't sorry for the ELO.
@@coolworx one cannot be sorry about ELO, it's impossible 😊
RIP Eric Gone forever. I hope we meet again. 'Old and Wise" another mellow masterpiece.
Recommendation: My first APP exposure was to the title track of the album, "I Robot"
It was July 1977, after an insistent phone call, I got to my friend's house, sat on the shag carpet in front of his dad's stereo, and was told to STFU, close my eyes and just listen. We didn't say a word for the duration. It's still one of my favorite musical memories ever!
I think Alan Parson fans will agree "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" is a pretty great album.
Excellent, based on the writings of Edgar Alan Poe. Dr Tarr and Professer Fether is a fave of mine
@@jwine4145 It certainly helps if a person had read Poe etc. but it does well as a stand alone album. Very interesting.
I actually prefer "I, Robot". Tales had a couple of great songs, but it was constrained by the limits of the material they could use.
This song was released in April of 1981. I graduated from high school in May of 1981.
This song was played on a loop as background music as each in my class was introduced and crossed the stage during the graduation walk. (There a bit more than 600 of us).
The music was just loud enough to know which song was playing, but quiet enough to not interfere with the ceremony.
It evoked many an emotion as we realized that it was time to move on with our lives and leave the teen years behind us.
My mother loved this song. God rest her soul 🙏 ❤️
It's contemplative. I want this played at my funeral. I think everyone gets the message. It's universal.
One of the key reasons I enjoy you guys' channel so much is that you are such excellent listeners.
My brother that was 2 years older than me got me hooked on this amazing group. When i listen to it it makes me think of him. All i can say is until i see you after i am gone from this earth i will never forget my brother along with my oldest brother and father. This song is so haunting it is so soft and easy listening. RIP to my brothers and father until we meet again.
Tales of Mystery & Imagination, I Robot, Pyramid, Eve, Turn of a Friendly Card - all excellent albums, start to finish.
Agree!... I would include "Ammonia Avenue" as their last great Album before the magic was lost... 😅
I haven't heard this song in ages. Thanks for reacting to it. I would also like to add in my vote for "Games People Play" for your next song from them.
You guys want another deep song by Alan Parsons ..try “old and wise”
SUCH a great song!!
I recommended this sad but beautiful song 2 years ago, when you reacted to "Eye In The Sky", so thanks a lot! 🥲
If someone is meant to be in your life, they will come back....within TIME!!
We ALL have freewill!! This song puts you in your feels!! Eye in the Sky & Games People Play are great songs, too!
Credit should also be given to Andrew Powell, who did the orchestrations for the Alan Parsons Project (and also arranged the strings for Al Stewart's Year of the Cat).
Alan Parsons Project - Psychobabble
For another very ethereal Alan Parsons Project song, check out "To One in Paradise", off of their debut album (Tales of Mystery and Imagination).
This is such a beautiful song. The last time I heard it I WAS driving at night and I DID cry.
Alan Parsons is ALWAYS a good choice. “Time “ is a tantalizing and tasty slice of musical perfection. Playlist worthy from the first note. Thanks for your enthusiasm. Play more Al Stewart , please.
It makes me think about time, and how as it moves forward, people move out of my life....either through a life change, like a move, a career change or those people who have passed away.....and I am always, ALWAYS.....overcome with emotions.
So beautiful, like life itself...
God's Peace to you and all here
"Old and Wise" is my favorite APP song!
“Old and wise “ is a must reaction for you guys!
This is his best album… hands down.
Eric Woolfson was songwriter and keyboard player for APP. Parsons told him his singing wasn't good enough to be lead vocal on any of their songs. This was the first on which he sang lead. Parsons admitted later he was wrong about Woolfson's voice. The album is a "theme" record where all the songs relate to gambling and casinos..."the game never ends when your whole world depends on The Turn of a Friendly Card"
Fantastic song, the 70s and 80s were the best time for music. Try some Emerson , Lake and Palmer. From the beginning or Lucky Man.
One of my favorite things I love about this amazing song is the contrast he draws between ‘days of old’ and ‘the future’ and how time remains a constant. WTH do I mean? In the first verse, he’s heading out to sea, which in days of old meant months or even years away with no certainty of ever returning. In the second verse, he’s saying goodbye because he’s heading to the stars (the stars wait for me) which is the modern day equivalent of vast distances and an uncertainty of ever returning. That just elevates this to a whole new level for me.
This song to me is about saying the final goodbye and looking back at your life. It could be incredibly sad if it wasn't for his voice and the music arrangement. This song is ethereal, this song is literally God tier. Loved your reaction.
This song is almost too beautiful.
You could listen to "The Gold Bug" from the same album, an instrumental piece of genius as only Alan Parsons could do 😮
Sound like pink floyd us and them❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I just saw Alan Parsons in concert not too long ago (after first seeing him in early 90s) I have been a huge fan since I was a kid in the 80s. His “project” was quite successful .. but he has had quite the career on the opposite side of the mic as well.
Haunting…I listened to this and it reminded me of a great loss a few months ago. Time waits for no one…it marches on for us all. Love and miss you, my beloved JoJo❤
The APP catalog is just do deep... everything sounds fantastic... the intro track to the album Gaudi, La Sagrada Familia is just amazing production... APP us for sure pure headphones music... the album Stereotomy was released when i was in college and it is still a big favorite. Limelight, Light of the World, just sooo great. Have been lucky enough to see the Alan Parsons Live Project twice and while the band lineup has changed, still just brilliant with Alan arranging and conducting like the master arranger and musician that he is.
AP is one of the Music's Geniuses!!!
I know some people who can’t listen to this song.
I like the end of the song, the Nevermore part, orchestral majesty infused with Blade Runner french horn, totally notates the majesty of a soul finishing a bodily experience and moving on.
You guys are just scratching the surface. APP didn't score many Top 40 Hits, but all of their albums had deep cuts that were played on AOR & College radio stations, and rank up there with the best music of the day. I recommend "I Wouldn't want to be like you" from I Robot for your next reaction video.
This piece actually *sounds* like he's preparing for an endless voyage. What a wonderful piece and I have always loved it.
They also worked with Ambrosia 'Holding on to Yesterday"
Just found I Robot on cd. It's great, of course.
Years ago, I was in a band that covered Wouldn't want to be like you. Great song.
This is one of my top five favorite songs of all time no pun intended
I forgot how amazing this song is. Cheers!
This is a drive into the gold sunset to the diamond sea kind of song.
If you liked this song, you’ll love “Old and wise” and “Silence and I”, from “Eye in the sky” album.❤❤❤
You should check out the title track because you know the game never ends when your whole world depends on the turn of a friendly card.
'Old and Wise" is my favorite
Omg you guys are digging up some oldies but goodies from my past. Sheesh. It always amazes me how I can not hear a song in ages and still know the lyrics…..yet can’t remember what I did yesterday. 😂. Thanks for the trip back in time on this song! Man!!!!
You guys should check out their song I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You 1977...great grove and guitar!! ❤️
Could you do another song by this amazing band? The song is, "Old and Wise". Ty so much, your neighbor in Navarre, Fl.
As an older fellow, I have heard many of the songs you review. This song I have heard many times in my life. Sitting and concentrating on every little sound and affect really helps me appreciate what goes into these old classics. Thanks for your humour and insightful comments. Always a pleasure watching your interactions. You crack me up!
I heard his influence on Pink Floyd, Supertramp, ELO, Yes, and many others. His use of”space” in terms of soundscape, aural separation and instrument selection is “par excellent”. It’s a mindspace song for sure.
This masterpiece was the song they chose to play at a younger friends Graduation around 1986 and had parents crying!
Hey, guys! It's about "Time" you react to this haunting tune. I like your reactions!
No Joke.."Turn of a Friendly Card" is a great APP cut! Give it a listen !!
I remembered this song from occasionally hearing it on the radio back in the day, it didn't particularly appeal to me. Then I heard it *again* in the movie A FANTASTIC WOMAN (2017), It struck such an emotional chord, I became a little obsessed with its beauty. Every time I'd take a bath, I'd listen to it. ⏳ #ViewsFromThe502 #Time #TheAlanParsonsProject
Old and Wise is also a MUST listen to.
This is the softer, gentler Alan Parsons Project. If you have the time, the Turn of a Friendly Card Suite is a set of songs, both with lyrics and instrumentals, and it all tells a story together.
I also recommend specifically the Alan Parsons Live Project version of Breakdown from their Columbia concert.
Wow, never seen anyone react to this song before. Thanks!!!
I recently found your channel. You guys are above and beyond most reaction channels. Love how you actually do homework on the songs you react to AND you do random songs that I've never heard so thank you for that. Time by Alan Parsons has played at a number of funerals I've attended. The words to the song are timeless.
A good friend of mine back in the day, Dave, put me onto The Alan Parsons Project back in the 80's and I have thanked him ever since.
I don’t know if it’s just luck, but you guys seem to have a wicked ear for picking amazing songs to review. And you also capture an amazing amount of detail!
This band's lyrics tend to be slept on. If time is flowing like a river to the sea...what's the sea? Death? He keeps saying "goodbye," so it really seems so, and that's a very interesting way to think of death--as a realm without time.
You would love "Games People Play" Its more upbeat like "Eye in the Sky"
Now that I hear this song again, I think it's my favorite APP song! Even 'Eye in the Sky' fades a little when listening to this! 'The Raven' is another good one.
this song along with Kansas" Dust In the wind I've heard played at funerals.
Thank you! He was the producer for Pink Floyd's Dark side of the Moon and others
This is a concept album and best experienced listening to the whole album.
Great reaction, guys!! This song brings back lots of memories. Great to see your appreciation for the arrangement on the song!! If you want to hear another great performance from this album check out "The Gold Bug"!! Great instrumental!!! Also from another album check out "Days Are Numbers".
Eye in the Sky is great! (Biased about Sirius before hand). This song is very mellow, you have to be in the mood. It comes on at work sometimes. Beginning reminds me of walking on a windy beach. His range... Wow i have heard this so many times, it is great to hear your perspective. You get so much more out of it! 😊 I did not know coming in if you guys would like it? This is Ryan's Midnight list. If you like more of a feel good song by them - Games People Play!!!!
Thank you!! If you get into this song it can bring you to tears.
Dark side of the moon vibe…
Such a beautiful song ❤
Great reaction!
¡Saludos, desde Argentina!
There is a subtle lyric change that most people miss. "Who knows when we will meet again" changes to "If we shall meet again" and then to "Where we shall meet again, if ever." My thought is this is a reference to the afterlife. Time is about life and aging and eventually passing from this world.
Another equally dark but wonderful AP song is "Old and Wise." It also incorporates subtle lyrics changes.
Oh, man, this is a song that I always want to sing along to, and by the time I get to the third line my voice just starts cracking beyond usability. Impossible for anyone who's ever lost anything to hear this and not fall apart a little.
So many great Alan Parsons Project songs to recommend. Their tunes are like an intricate Swiss timepiece, jammed full of complex gears and fiddly bits that somehow fit together perfectly. It's also worth noting that every album is a concept album of sorts, so there are a fair number of tracks that work best within the flow of their respective albums. Also, maybe a third of their songs are really boss instrumentals.
"Voyager/What Goes Up..." (it's two separate tracks, but Voyager is basically just the intro to What Goes Up, as Sirius is to Eye in the Sky) opens the Pyramid album and has an epic, majestic feel. Very suitable for a tune about man's greatest achievements and how time and tide will wipe them all from the face of the Earth.
"Can't Take It With You", also from Pyramid, is an upbeat, relatively straightforward pop tune in which the Grim Reaper argues with his most recent client, who is refusing to move on and leave behind all his cool stuff.
And if you want to check out one of those boss instrumentals, give "The Gold Bug" from The Turn of a Friendly Card a try. Kinda Spaghetti Western, a little bit smooth jazz, all awesome.
I love this song, but I've never gone out of my way tto listen to it, because of some deep sadness, some unsettling feeling that lingers after hearing it. But I wanted to see what your reactions would be. So now, like always, I'm going to get busy with something else, to change my mood. ✌️♥️
This song always gives me serious goosebumps! One of my fav’s ever. Thank you for playing one of my requests!
Listen to Nothing Left To Lose from this same album. Great harmonies melody and arrangement
makes me cry. reality.
I also recommend,”Can’t Take it With You”
Check out "Damned If I Do" as well. It has great synths!
"The Raven" on the "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" LP is a great short song.
The next Alan Parsons Project song you need to do is I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You.
Time is my absolute favorites APP song but this runs second. I love how it showcases their talent spectrum. Awesome group.
Eric Wolfson sings in this song. He and Alan worked a LOT together. Alan sings on other songs as well as Eric. Check out "Old and Wise"!!!!!!!!
Parsons has a great voice .He and David Pack from Ambrosia do some acoustic Beatles covers on Y T
@Robert Everett I never actually said it was
Parsons I was saying that Parsons voice on the Beatles tunes with Pack were quite good ..
This was something my brother listened to as he got older I enjoyed it but not my style.....Nick this is a song to put kids to sleep😂😂😂....you guys are great
I have viewed and listened to the Live in Madrid concert 100 times and it is fantastic. Nice to see them playing live which is fire!
I love Alan Parsons Project. Eye in the sky is my favorite but I also love Don’t answer me, Games people play and of course this one. They have some great ones
This whole album is tremendous. The title song is great - Turn of a Friendly Card. Lush music, great lyrics. It also has a fantastic reprise at the end of the album, with a faboulous guitar solo.
Was a child when this song came out; loved it, yet had a hard time listening to it because it was so emotional and melancholic. Didn't want people to see me crying, ha. Decades later, I still have a hard time listening to this song. And I still love it. An all-time favorite from the 80s!
Love this song as well! (just watched the other APP video) I bought this album on cassette tape in 1982 (at the mall)!
Don't Let It Show is another classic in this vein, while Games People Play has a far more up tempo
You really have to listen to many of their hits to get an understanding of how good they really are
Your Music Mirrors Your Mind
Song Suggestion: Stereotomy
Band/Artist: Alan Parsons Project
Album: Stereotomy
A real hitter of a song Great album A must listen
"Don't Answer Me' Alan Parsons project
beauifully great. good job men of the world!
I enjoy watching your reactions!
Here's a few Alan Parsons songs to consider:
Dr Tarr and Professor Feather
I Robot/I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You
The Voice
Can't Take it With You
Damned if I Do
Games People Play
Psychobabble
These songs will take you elsewhere. They are more upbeat than the others you have reacted to. Cheers!
One of my new favorite reactions - this DOES hit you in the feels. There are 2 Sting songs that relate to this: Fields of Gold has the same 'kick you in the nuts'/'put a lump in your throat' kind of feel as this - the passing of time and impending loss. Related to this in the playing card respect is 'Shape of My Heart', where Sting contrasts the King of Hearts with the others - it's beautifully arranged and mixed to absolute perfection. Both of these would make great reaction videos. Thanks for sharing guys.
"Day After Day" is another sad and beautiful song by them.
It’s funny you mentioned Pink Floyd’s “ Time “ because he was the sound engineer for “ Dark Side of the Moon “ & the Beatles album “ Abbey Road “ .
