Just to think of what I understand today, yet didn't back when this song was played live back when I was a kid, with a helicopter flyin' around, and hearing "I am the eye in the sky, ... I can read your mind" -- Holy Smokes! And this was when? Back n the 80's!?! And I haven't even addressed the Sirius issue itself. Well, for those who understand, I greet you; for the majority of those remaining who think I'm likely at least a little crazy, my response: . Lol to the Alan Parsons Project, it took me awhile, but yeah, I hear you now, I do indeed.
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 accusation 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, 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, I can read your mind
Its interesting how similar Woolfson and Parsons sing this song. I assume this is Woolfson here. I am not totally sure what he looked like in the 80's. Either guy can pull it off quite well and it can be hard to tell which one is singing it.
You make a good point. Much like Tommy Shaw of Styx. While he has done lead vocals in his career I always felt he was perfect as a co vocalist or an incredible tri vocalist in Styx. He has that built for backing vocals high voice that fits perfectly in harmony over solo lead vocal. Just my opinion
@@scottmoore3907 Back in those days a real "Eye in the Sky" would've been a spy / surveillance satellite. A helicopter isn't an eye in the sky any more - way too noisy and easy to detect ... and perfect way of ruining an otherwise good live performance. Nowadays a high altitude drone does a much better job and you don't even know it's there - ask the Russians in the Ukraine if you'd like first-hand experience.
I thought the helicopter was doing the live concert equivalent of a London radio DJ with verbal diarrhea, busy gobbing off over the first and last 1/3rd of the song. I guess if I really wanted to hear helicopter noises over music, I'd listen to something about the Vietnam War.
Helicopter hovering is propaganda by communism. On the contrary the True eye in the sky is on them. What a turn of the tables that is on communism and their lies. 😂😂😂😂
@@mulliganstew72 I guess they couldn't have just put a picture of a spy satellite up on a big screen and let everyone enjoy the music without nammer-nammer-nammer ruining it?
