    I used to do a classic rock radio show. This one guy used to call me once a week to request this song for his wife. I got annoyed (inside) after a while but still played it. One week he called me and told me she passed away and he thanked me for playing her favorite song every week. I played it for him in honor of her memory. He never called again after that last play. It put my emotions in check. The power of music is a wonderful thing.

    The Chicago Bulls intro music is actually "Sirius", the song just before "Eye in the Sky". They should ALWAYS be played together though, it's a classic rock law.

    In an interview, Alan Parsons said that he learned that casino security cameras were called "eye in the sky", he realized the traffic copter to a local station was called "eye in the sky", and he saw a giant Horus eye mural on the side of a building -- all on the same day. He took it as a sign that he should write a song called "Eye In the Sky".

      Very interesting story. Concerning the 'eye of Horus' , in ancient times, in North Africa and parts of the Middle East, the eye symbol was often used as a warning along trading routes. A carved eye on a boulder was a warning for travelers and traders to be '' watchful and awake '' and keep an eye out for bandits and marauders..........

    Alan Parsons was an up and coming young studio engineer who never was given credit for Abby Road (The Beatles), or Dark Side Of The Moon (Pink Floyd). Credit was given for Year Of The Cat (Al Stewart), Time Passages (Al Stewart). Years later he established his own band 'The Alan Parsons Project. Listen to all these albums mentioned, and you'll hear their similarities in production and orchestrations. GENIUS.

That is one of the best saxophone solos in any song. I’m glad that Al listened to Alan. Thank you Alan, Al, and Peter for writing some great songs!

    Well, I can tell you a young child's perspective of the deeper meaning. This song was getting a lot of radio play when I was about kindergarten age, and I was terrified of it. I thought it was sung by ghosts and that the ghosts were threatening to read and control my mind. I still have vivid memories of being a paranoid 5-year-old with an overactive imagination, riding in my mother's 1979 Buick and crawling onto the floor of the back seat to hide from the ghosts when this song came on. (This was way before seatbelt laws, kids.) Forty-ish years later, I enjoy it much more now.

      Funny story (to maybe only me) regarding "Turn of a Friendly Card". I was driving home from a Pink Floyd concert in Washington DC (Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour, October 1989). I had to drive from the Capital Center just outside of DC, to Frostburg State University, which was about 3 hours away. We stopped for dinner in Frederick, MD at some truck stop, then proceeded west towards Frostburg (about another 2 hour drive). It was after 1 am and had been raining for hours. As we moved into the mountains, it also became very foggy. Back in 1989, the road west of Hancock was a 2 lane divided highway (one lane in either direction) and was very windy and narrow. Also, at 1 am, there are mostly big tractor-trailers on the road and few cars. Because of the fog, it was incredibly hard to see, although the trucks seemed to be having an easier time as they were flying. Mountains, rain, fog, narrow winding roads, big trucks... I thought I was going to die. About an hour out from Frostburg, I was trying to do something with the music, but accidentally hit the repeat song button on my CD player. So, long story longer, Turn of a Friendly Card was playing and continued to repeat over and over again for the entire last leg of the drive. The song ends similar to how it begins, so it was actually difficult to tell when it was restarting. I was too scared to look away from the road for even a second to figure out how to turn off repeat and the shoulders were narrow to pull over and I thought I would get hit by a flying truck. Fortunately, I love the song, and did not mind all that much that I had to listen to it for an hour. I had more important things to worry about at that moment. My passenger slept through it all. It was very late and I didn't want to wake her. Also of note, this was the 3rd Pink Floyd show that I went to that week. I think I had stayed down in Baltimore for the other 2 and the drive was not eventful.

    The "shorter" version is just the "Eye in the Sky" song without the instrumental "Sirius" intro. On the album, "Sirius" segues into "Eye in the Sky", which is how it was *meant* to be heard. So, yes, you did the right version. :-)
    If you want to dive down this rabbit hole, here's my list of must-hear tracks from APP:
    "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The System of Dr. Tarr & Professor Fether" (from "Tales of Mystery & Imagination", their 1st album)
    "I Robot / I Wouldn't Wanna Be Like You" (the one segues into the other, like "Sirius/Eye in the Sky" does), "Some Other Time", "Breakdown", "The Voice" (from their second album, "I Robot")
    "One More River", "Can't Take It With You", "Pyramania", "Shadow of a Lonely Man" (from "Pyramid")
    "Lucifer", "You Lie Down With Dogs", "Winding Me Up", "Damned if I Do" (from "Eve")
    "May Be A Price To Pay", "Games People Play", "Time", and of course, the entire 16-minute "Turn of a Friendly Card" suite (from "The Turn of a Friendly Card")
    "You're Gonna Get Your Fingers Burned", "Psychobabble", "Old and Wise" (from "Eye in the Sky")
    "Prime Time", "You Don't Believe" (from "Ammonia Avenue")
    "Let's Talk About Me", "Sooner or Later", "Vulture Culture" (from "Vulture Culture")
    "Stereotomy", "Beaujolais", "Limelight", "Where's the Walrus?" (from "Sterotomy")
    "La Sagrada Familia", "Standing on Higher Ground", "Money Talks" (from "Gaudi")
    Note that there are live performances of some of these out there -- but they are *not* performances by the original Alan Parsons Project, as such. APP was entirely a studio creation of Parsons and his creative partner, the late Eric Woolfson; they used session musicians on each album, and at the time, Parsons didn't even sing or play any instruments; he was solely a recording engineer and producer. After Parsons and Woolfson parted ways in 1990, Parsons continued on his own (dropping the "Project" part of the name), and eventually began touring with a group of musicians.
    Which is not to say they don't put on a good live show; just be aware that if you're looking to put faces to the music, Alan Parsons himself will be the only "original face", as it were, who actually had anything to do with the APP albums, and he didn't actually sing or play on any of them at the time. :-)

    "Eye in the sky" actually refers to the trend of surveillance cameras that started back in the 1980s and the overall accumulation of data by companies and governments. So the song still is up to date in 2020.
    "Looking at you, I can read your mind"… yep, Google, I know.

      The TITLE is inspired by casino cameras. But only the title and tag line, not the song itself. Not corporations, and certainly not governments.

      Unless you live in Nebraska. The Cornhuskers started using Sirius around the same time the Bulls did and still use it to this day. And of course, Lady Antebellum swiped the "Eye In The Sky" part later for their smash-hit, "Need You Now."
