This whole album is wonderful, one of the few albums I can listen to without skipping a track. One of the greatest concept albums ever.

This epic music simply never ends 🎧

[@georgethorne1722]

When the guitar comes in part 2 it never fails to give me the shivers.I love this song.

[@angelaglover3053]

I know that every generation says the same, but this has never been mostly true, “there’s no music like this anymore”. People like APP and other bands of their time were REAL MUSICIANS. Those times will not come back. 😞

[@USCG.Brennan]

Absolute Musicians!!!!

[@Harkonen_es]

one of the most urated albums on the history of music. Concept, music, lyrics and performance are spectacular

Listening to this for the first time ever, in 2020. It's simply brilliant and timeless. Love it.

[@cecilwebbjr1507]

[@prnothall9302]

Yet another of my all-time favourites. Both lyrics and music arrangement are way up there.

[@anniedrews4849]

Part 2...still giving chills almost 40 years later. Released 1980.

[@paulhutchison815]

Just saw them live for the first time tonight... Amazing show!

[@xpwteam]

masterpiece

[@bobthebear1246]

Chris Rainbow had one of the absolute most beautiful male voices in the modern music era. How incredibly underrated he was. I always thought he sounded a lot like Art Garfunkel, but honestly I think his voice was even better than his. I mean I could listen to this song over and over again and still be mesmerized by that amazing, beautiful, effortless tenor Chris Rainbow had, as well as his unusual and unique phrasing in this song. Simply perfect.

[@alzafej64]

I think alan parsons is a genuis of the 80's music. thanks for keep their music

[@zyx63]

The best came out in the 70's

[@fernandovalenzuela1966]

Hello. I have been listening to this and so many Alan Parson's songs since I was 8 and they never lose their magic. It's incredible but true. Thanks for put them together.

[@TheCornishCockney]

starts brilliantly and the outro is eargasmic.

[@henryszymkiewicz4387]

Saved my life

[@melodynzify]

Thanks for this. Very artistic job! We saw Alan Parsons live in Taupo, New Zealand in January this year and he was spectacular! We love your interpretation of his music and thank you for sharing this with us.

[@rivillashectorfabio5175]

APP is always telling me, with music, something about my life...Great!

It has been cassette tape with my walkman until today with my DAP, I enjoy their songs it is timeless.

Thanks a lot for sharing this and arranging it with the lyrics too. this is part of my top ten favorite music. Merci pour ce partage et pour l'arrangement avec les paroles aussi. Cet album fait partie de mon top 10 de ma musique favorite.

[@user-ji2gy7zk2d]

С 80 х незабываемая песня, буду слушать и дальше, Алан Парсонс смог бы ещё написать песни, но со временем почему то все бросают петь и писать.

[@malenkie.shedevry]

он до сих пор пишет песни

[@ldolphin34]

I've always preferred Part 2 to Part 1, but never considered putting the parts together like this. Great idea!

[@helenh1752]

Thank You, still enjoy after all these years

[@ericbubbles8642]

A show my friend put on for me. With these records on a Sunday I’ll never forget it. Amazing brilliant he knows all the words to these beautiful brilliant songs.

[@mwmann]

Reminds me of the fall of mankind. Not in a biblical sense. But in the slow wearing down of life that lays in store for us all. This song gave me Melancholy feelings. And I don't know if I said that right.

[@freisein6554]

Johnny Johnstone I feel the same. You said it right 😃👌

[@josephpaul8874]

I could understand why one would arrive at that assumption, that's okay if it works for the assuming, and makes you a better person, and that's a good thought to have had. However, the irony is ,... It's a song about a casino, and particularly in Las Vegas, i believe 3 songs really are about casinos . Eye in the sky (CCTY,s in the ceiling watching every corner of the casino) Ps, it's not a love song, and THIS two part song, The turn of a friendly card. To put things in perspective, this song is about a habitual Gambler, whose life depends on the cards at hand, and he reads the signs 8n the desert as he makes his way through his mistakes ... Mainly of gambling... Mostly the music talks emotionally the words are just there to guide you... I also thought on the same lines when i first hear this album and this song... i though there was a spiritual or philosophical narrative... especially, "But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine, as he centers a Sacred Cathedral" i thought it was about having a personal spiritual relationship with God, in the midst of a religious group setting.. and to always have that personal relationship, as a shrine is a one on one space as opposed tona cathedral which is a mass setting, with that being said, it's more Hope because that's the last line of the first song. (If at all you are looking for a meaning in that sense)

[@user-nc7rx4it4q]

One of the greatest albums of the 20th and 21st centuries. Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson (R.I.P. Eric) the two geniuses of the Project have the noteworthy awareness and talent of combining the rock band, symphony orchestra, and choir(s) that other rock artists contemporary and progressive lack or refuse to consider when making recordings. Chris Rainbow's vocals add to the beauty of these two songs (Parts 1 and 2). So, what is the album released in 1980 all about? The potential dangers and risks of gambling that can lead to avarice, addiction, bankruptcy, and even suicide as a result of deep financial indebtedness.

[@marestin]

amazed at difference of lyrics btw 1 and 2. beautiful phrases

[@agustinamuslera5950]

What a great song - the words are perfect for a gambler like me.

[@aukeoosting3426]

I've got allmost all of his albums on vinyl and this song came as a single edition. On the Album it is at the beginning and the end of one side. It is my most favourite song. Chris Rainbow does the singing part on this song. Parson is a great musician. He worked as an assistent technician on Abbey Road from the Beatles. Worked on the Hollies, Wings and Pink Floyd. He produced for John Miles, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel and Al Stewart. And got an Grammy Award for producing "Dark side of the moon" by Pink Floyd.

[@nasser.afazgha6608]

Thank you Dennis it is a wonderfull and wonderfull wonderfull......

[@slimebucket6991]

Best rock band ever in the world of sound

[@vratislavsula2487]

It is very beautiful music, I think there should be longer final part of the second song. I prefer listening the album in whole, but sometimes I play only the second song (the last on the album) because I just can't get enough of the orchestra part...

[@heddidahmani5279]

I do love this orchestra part. Another APP's song is built the same way, "Silence and I", with a full orchestra part in the middle, and the final playing variations of the main theme like this one. It always makes me fly high above...

[@anniedrews4849]

The orchestra is beautiful! It could go on for 30 minutes and I would listen to every note!

[@Fotograf110]

@@heddidahmani5279 Agree. 'Silence and I' song has great orchestra accompaniment.
