Alan Parsons Project, The - As Lights Fall Lyrics

Love the video and images. Very cool! Nice Song

I really love this song! thank you Alan

Alan Parsons, the man who only looks right when dressed as a pirate captain or a wizard. If this is, in fact, his swan song he's going out on a high note. The new generation is starting to discover the living legends among us as well as those who've passed into the realm of immortality. Also, getting Hackett on the opener is just icing on the cake. Many congrats on this inspired video and the music it showcases.

Yes - this one is really a hit! It floates to the ears. Great! Who thought, that Alan does it again after this long time? That´s positive. On the album there are 2-3 other "good" songs. Perhaps it would be better, to have taken "better singers (no women`s voice - why?) and a mixture between slow and fast songs. Most of the other Songs do not have enough "deepnes". Equal. Alan we want to hear more of you, and: it`s not forbidden to engage a composer...

My lord and Master Alan Parsons, who i follow since i was 12 years old. Have met him and his lovely wife when he came to Argentina, several times. He reached to sign my pregnant belly. Lots of love from Silvia, Hugo Caro and all the 1.0 fans from Argentina.

Fantastic song, for me Alan is a big music legend, his music is special and very nice, I love him and have big respect for him. This is beautiful.

Sounds like "Eye in the sky", or at least it is in the same style. Love it!

I am 19 and this is super dope. I could convince my friends into thinking this is Pink Floyd since they never heard of Alan Parsons.

I've been on an Alan Parsons kick, lately. Finding quite a few gems, this being one of them!

I agree, this exactly the type of music I needed to bring light to my stressful and confusing life as a college student.

Those treasure chest contents

I had never really listened to Alan Parsons until a few years ago (my partner is a huge fan of the Project) and I just love everything that has ever been sung. A most beautiful voice.

Brilliant Song, Sentiment and Video! Bravo to Alan and the motley crew. Arrrrrggggghhhh!

Este ya quemó

Quemó?? Apuesto que usted queda hecho cenizas antes que el gran Alan Parsons.

The master has never lost his touch.

I watched that Vsauce episode about the Stanford Prison Experiment before this. Alan Parsons might well be secretly the scientist dude who did that, or at least his secret twin brother.

Uhm,
at 3:08, that's the headpiece from the staff of ra from "Raiders or the lost ark" or not?


But very nice song and great video :-)

So cool to see these grown men having dreams and hopes. Truly see God in these men. So inspiring. Great music video.

Alan Parsons. Great musician.

3:08 Is that the head piece to the Staff of Ra?

is that the object from raiders of the lost ark?! (3:08)

Beautiful song. It's been too long since we heard from the Alan Parsons Project. Welcome back and more...more...more.

A legend! Proper music in an age of plastic copies trying to be 'retro'...

What's with the cat at 3:58?

I lost so many beautiful brothers/lovers to AIDS, whom I loved so much. Yes, we WILL meet again in the same wonderful joy we knew in life. I wish so many others could have known the beauty of such relationships.

I'll be there...

Love the intro! Being from the beginning of career to current. Carried on throughout song. Brilliant!! Hoping not final curtain though. Shucks, I just, finally caught Deep Purple and A.P.P. is still on my bucket list.

Another musical jewel of this great producer, musician,! APP for ever!

Alan your are a great

the magic place is the pirates of the burning sea...best game ever .

Thank you so much for this. It speaks to something deep within me.

Too late, Luffy. Alan has found One Piece.

SO KOOL

entendi lo del felino que sale y entra en el barco en la ultima escena.

He looks young for his age

2019’s been a great comeback year for a lot of artists. Jeff Lynne is releasing an album, this was released, it’s great to see!

A couple of the best iconic artists of our time...we are privileged to have experienced their music.

este es mi idolo musical! gracias Alan por los buenos momentos que he pasado escuchando tus canciones. Larga vida y salud!

This moves me to ( happy) tears. I own all of his albums. Since 1987 ( Gaudi ). I was at college 15 years young. My English teacher recommended Parsons. Now 2019 still a big fan!

Brilliant.

So is this really about Alan, Eric, or what? ... It almost sounds like he is sick, tired, or just plain calling it quits. I'm hoping for none of the above.

Thank you for all the great music, Mr. Parsons!

When it all gets on your last nerve and your life has no verve, Alan Parsons is the best dish to serve. He will soon turn your mood around, no matter how much you are feeling down and it will only cost a few crowns.

Always love you guys ,,, love the song

Super gap & kola kaainga👌👈

Just saw him tonight in NYC 9/17/19 at The Town Hall he played this song live sounded even better.

Excellent! But sad as I don't want his music to end as its been with me through so many highs and lows.

John Possum - I’ve been a huge fan since the very first album; so long ago...
When I first saw this vid, I was worried, it seemed that Alan was saying goodbye. But then I realized that the video is a tribute to his long-time partner, Eric Woolfson, who crafted so many of the great lyrics on APP’s songs, and who passed away in 2009. I saw Alan and The Project live last week (Sept 2019), and he dedicated this song to Eric, it was then I realized what the video was hinting at. I can tell you that Alan and the band were absolutely on FIRE during that show; from what I witnessed, he’s giving no indication that he’s stopping the music any time soon, or even slowing down... 😉😊🙏

Fantastic song, and Album.....

I love the fact that Alan is singing the Lead Vocals here. I enjoy his voice because it’s real and not auto tuned or over produced. Even live I’m enjoying what he is up to vocally ... keep it up Alan Parsons

I still miss Eric Wolfson though, now there was a team within a dream.

ALMERIA ANDALUCIA ESPAÑA SEPTIEMBRE 2019.

I always hear 'blissful be my curtain call' and I think it kinda fits quite beautifully aswell

Alan u jew shill

Magic Spells and Silent Realms no regrets..speaks magic to the heart. Just one more trip around and sharing it with all I encounter. Yup..that's how I'm living. Life is what it is!
The curtain can't close yet.
Bucket list not complete.
😃😉luv this song.

This is now my favourite song of yours Alan, it makes me cry because it reminds me of when my boy was young and we would play pirates and I'd often listen to 'Tales of Mystery' on an original 70s cassette on the car stereo.

I had it on Album form, While my friends were buying Bad Company and Zep. Always preferred Prog to Pop.

@yadig jamesgang I think you could call 70s Led Zep prog-rock, I think Alan Parsons Project are more art or symphonic rock or even pop, than say progressive bands of the time who displayed virtuosity within their respective supergroups, I'm talking about bands like Yes and Emerson, Lake and Palmer and that sort of thing where it is technically off the scale in difficulty of execution.

Love this AP! Been a fan since I was a little kid! I'm now 47! A life time of music I thank you for! My daughter who's 8 loves this song and we sing it in the car! It's her 1st song! So thank you for doing for her what you did for me! Bless you sir! 🙏🙂

I thought this was Danny McBride doing a goof video based on the thumbnail.

I love this song, and this video; but when I first heard/saw it, it scared me... because it seemed as though it was Alan’s way of saying “goodbye”.
I saw him live last night, (Sept 14, 2019) in Akron, Ohio, and he and his band were absolutely stellar, as they have been for the 6 times I’ve seen The Project over the last 4 decades. The show alleviated the concerns I had about him after first seeing the video. Alan and his guys are on FIRE, as great now as they’ve ever been... while he changes the lineup of his band over the years, he always gets great musicians. If APP is coming to a city near you this Fall, I can’t urge you enough to go to one of his shows. I promise, You’re gonna dig it. 😊🙏

Nice... but the verses' melody sounds way too similar to "Hurt" by NIN.

does it get any finer ? , i think not :)

I was exposed to the Alan Parsons' project in high school (Eye in the Sky / Gaudi) and Psychobabble is still in rotation in my classroom. Every time it comes on I'm flooded by old memories and friends. Thank you, sir.

Great song! Great video!

Nothing else sounds like Alan parsons. Always found his music amazing. Just dont get stuff much like Alan or ELO and such. This is a little Enya'ish.

This is amazing how have I never heard of him till now!

Hopefully not his “curtain call”

He wouldnt have said that if it wasn't...this song is very literal

does he live in a pineapple under the sea? hehe No hate... love it!

Wow, Terrific song. Thanks for the great video and music. I loved it. It is truly terrific to hear you are still making wonderful music. Great references to earlier works. :-)

Wunderbar! Sail on Captain!

ALAN PARSON .. VOLVE A BUENOS AIRES , ARGENTINA ..!!

This is wonderful. The whole package, music, video message...

brillient

Jose Gonzales is gonna sue you.

Well done Alan.

touching song... - all the way back...
And my personal hope for the next album:

'Ammonia Avenue' needs new digitizing (Erics voice of curse) and a video ;-)

Ummm did you not hear the lyrics? That/this is it! The end and his curtain call...

@Hippie Colleen I'll keep hoping, if you don't mind ;-)

What a beautiful song. If this is your farewell song it's perfect. Thank you for decades of journeys.

So very cool

New Parsons album!? Thank you Alan!

You the aviators. Don t lie tell truth.spilled ink, traveling ship treasure of gold, did I respond poetically to yours poem. And the lone guy pictured in quotes, blue.

Ok could be wrong but
Time

Ummm, is it just me or is this almost the same melody as Strong Enough by Cheryl Crow?

He had me at Eric.

I'm proud to tell that I was in a concert in 2005 in Santa Cruz- Bolivia, wonderful as in his records. A great talent of the music history of all times, no one like him.. love all his music since the Project up to now... many rock and music stars has gone already, hope Alan lives forever...

KInda sad. And a little weird. Nice that the band got to be in the video though. Going to see them in Chicago next week. I'm pretty excited!

This makes me think of Sea of Thieves.

Eye in the sky ???? Copiarse de uno mismo sigue siendo copiarse ...

Es muy gracioso ver a Alan trapeando la cubierta con los ojos de los Beatles clavados en él.... Hermoso video....Fanatástico tema..... Un Alan Parsons legítimo....!!!!!

I love this, great job by everyone involved. I was just doing a bit of reading about Mr. Parsons and see he produce "Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart (one of my favorite albums). I'm wondering if that's why the cat was there right at the end of the video.

I love the vinyl intro...

As lights fall .. this will be my curtain call .. this is what Peter Dinklage looks like if he wasn't so small ...

why I'm crying...

Best track on album. Challenges my favourite track Old and Wise. Keep going we need music like this. So I bought the album today, and played it 3 times already. Thanks Auntie Nicola for introducing me to APP, best music ever....

Well Done Patrick

this is sooo beautiful :)

No clue why this song was recommended by Youtube.

Alan is an genius

Believe, Jesus christ the only way,there is still time Alan!

Go fuck yourself you twit.

This is awesome new music from Alan Parsons! Love it !

Catch this great tune and more on the Yacht Rock Show https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-yacht-rock-show/id1372511062?i=1000447605478

When you have pure talent and creativity....it doesn't matter how old you are...you would always produce great result. APP is the perfect example.

Not sure if really David Brent!

AYE IN THE SKY

"I'll call it, the Alan Parsons Project."-Dr. Evil

This new song will leave an impression on me, as Alan Parsons did so , on the 2019 On The Blue Cruise... when he fell on top of me, and I lived to tell the tale... true story.
