This review is from: Eye In The Sky (MP3 Download)

The most successful single by The Alan Parsons Project reached number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Clearly inspired by George Orwell's classic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, singer/songwriter Eric Woolfson wrote and sang these lyrics from the point of view of an all-seeing "Big Brother" incapable of trusting the public at large whom "he" is charged to constantly observe with all the resources at a repressive government's disposal. Curiously enough, Alan Parsons himself initially hated the song; a fact that neither Eric Woolfson nor guitarist Ian Bairnson ever let him live down.
