ALAN PARSON'S PROJECT

Playing with words can be a lot of fun if you understand what you are doing. America fell in love with this song some 27 years ago. Yet, some how managed to ignore the depth of the lyrics. Read them for yourself, understand them, then inquire within as to their true meaning. Poignant, emotional, even confrontational these words take on not necessarily a NEW meaning, but one that many would be more inclined to blatantly reject, because it stands in direct opposition to the way we live our lives. 

When POP music, confronts us with Eternal Reality, POP Culture has a way of ascribing to it a message they prefer.  The masses, will always choose to stay deceived, rather than step into the light.  Taken purely as an example of the "intentionally misunderstood", Eye In the Sky, has been besmirched, given a totally inaccurate intellectual essence having had applied to it several socially unacceptable behaviors. Ranging from, spousal abuse, to accusations of it relating to the "Big Brother" type conspiracy, to actually going as far as applying Satanic Attributes to it!

Understanding the value of words, at this point is crucial.  As society, comes up against this comment as it probable will, consider this. In 1982, Christianity was a little more socially acceptable than it is now, but still reject-able as something "DESIGNED" to stifle self-expression and the pursuit of pleasure".  You can contest all you like, it won't help.  But, this might...the only set of Eye's in the Sky, that would care about how your communicating your anger, or what you are doing with furniture, belong to Our Big Brother, and it has NOTHING to do with camera's or spying on society! They are also directly contrary to the "source" given credit for the inspiration of this song. That credit, by the way, would be coming from the audience, not the artist.

You see, once you understand, and accept the words for what they speak to, its easy to see, they speak of  Jesus Christ the Creator of Everything, including Music: rather than to Lucifer, a creature who over stepped his authority and forgot that he was just and instrument, NOT the Leader of the Band!  If Alan knew at that time, it was impossible to avoid the Gaze, what makes us think we can NOW! Yes, there is a difference between Sublime and subliminal! Allow me to be the first to say, Sublime WINS, hands down!

I won't pretend to assume, if Alan Parson was "the project", but it certainly sounds to me like GOD aint finished with him Yet!

Hey ALAN, Thanks for a GREAT SONG, Fantastic insight, May the ALL SEEING EYE'S continue to bless your growth in HIM!

The "Eye In the Sky" continues to watch ALL that is going! Maybe it time to look up!
