Well even the longest night won't last forever
But too many hopes and dreams won't see the light
And all of the plans I make won't come together
Something in the air
Maybe for the only time in my life
Something in the air
Turning me around and guiding me right
And it's a prime time, maybe the stars were right
I had a premonition, it's gonna be my turn tonight
Gonna be my turn tonight
Well even the brightest star won't shine forever
But all of the hands I play are working out right
And every move I make feels like a winner
Something in the air
Maybe for the only time in my life
Something in the air
Turning me around and guiding me right
And it's a prime time, maybe the stars were right
I had a premonition it's gonna be my turn tonight
Gonna be my turn tonight
Gonna be my turn tonight
"Every move I make feels like a winner..." Who writes feel good lyrics like this anymore, especially with an amazing and intricate wall of sound to back them up?! With rap it's like "I'll slash and gash, cut another hole in your ass...". What passes for music today is a real crime against humanity! Long live the wonderful recordings of the Alan Parsons Project!! :)
I remember as a kid I used to have reoccurring dreams about what the mannequins in the mall did after everybody went home at night. I used to feel like they were watching me whenever I'd go there. Staring at me, a little smile on their painted faces. Almost like they knew that I knew about them. I guess it's weird, but I was a VERY imaginative kid. This video came out and it was so eerie and creepy to me but I absolutely LOVED it! It's a great song, but the video is something I'll never forget. I still think about it whenever I see a mannequin.
The Alan Parsons Project became a far better band when Eric Woolfson was allowed to sing. His vocals were truly unique and perfect for their music. He is missed sorely.
What a guitar part from Ian Bairnson! I remember, once I was hanging out in my apartment with a music channel on the TV on and barely noticed a guitar solo during a live concert of Beverly Craven and then I stopped... but.. but.. this guitar touch.. this vibrato.. isn't that Ian Bairnson? I rushed to the TV to see him actually playing with Beverley Craven. Haha I was so happy to see him and so proud to have recognized his unique guitar touch...
