Song Of The Day!

I think it's time for something a little bit beautiful, dontcha think?

No Disney, I wasn't calling your ass out.......

It's time for another SOTD. Tonight we are going to the great yet strangest decade of all time: The 80's. The were a shitload of experience going on in the 80's, especially a shitload of new genres flourishing at the time. We were reminded of the most obscure fashion sense, New Wave, the rise of Hip Hop, MTV (When it used to be cool), a shitload of chart topping notable hits, the Independent labels.........There were a lot of good things coming up then, but I'd like to still stick to today since back then was pretty crazy. (Plus people are trying too hard to revive it since resuscitation didn't work the first time.) As much as there were the cheesiest lyrics reborn through synthesizers, there were also magical songs back then that reminds us of dancing with that special someone on the dance floor.

You can only find this on "Dancing With The Stars" now.....

 (Makes me want to dance like that.....pinche shit whatever :P) Anyways let's continue. Today's SOTD is:

The Alan Parsons Project: Eye In The Sky

One of the best slow jams ever created. Period. Every time I think of this song, I always picture slow dancing with my head on someone's shoulder. I think this group was one of the best session groups ever made. Only consisting of Mr. Parsons himself and Eric Woolfson, they have created some of the best hits through the 70's and 80's. This by far is one of the most memorable songs created, it is considered a landmark of Progressive Rock in the 80's. It's time to visualize this beautiful piece of art.

No Disney, I wasn't calling you out again.

The actual opening to this song is actually the first track of the album "Sirius". Showing a prime example of what rocking out on a Progressive track sounds like, it then starts to fade until you can only hear David Paton plucking a simple bass chord for a couple of seconds until Stuart Elliott hits the Hi-hat and we are then settled into the mood with Eric making the keys sound hauntingly beautiful. Then Eric begins to sing, and Oh My God! If you were to picture the best and seductively sexiest voice of a man in a Soft Rock track, it's his. The song is set at a beautiful but saddening pace of a destroyed relationship. We, ourselves, are tempted to believe by the structure of the song that there is hope when the end of the line is already met. The guitar solo Ian Bairnson brings up at the end of the song seems to bring also a sense of discomfort while the beautiful track continues to play in the background, giving off the sense that even though one looks forward to a hopefully pleasant future, the other is wrecked by their decision. (Again, best slow jam in my opinion. Not everything is lovey dovey, so you have to cherish the moments while it lasts.)

Enjoy!!!!
