Time Is Flowing Like A River! Inspired By The Alan Parsons Project , Pop Act from The Early 80's.

in music-history •  7 years ago 

"TIME".......It's a wonderful classic song from my youth .....I remembered, while I was walking down this river in Lienz, Tirol as I already told you in my previous article about my trip.  

Some of the younger generation might not know those songs, so I thought I introduce them today because the lyrics are timeless.

Well Well Steemians! I Am "Here In Tirol" And Waiting For 2018! What's Your Next Two Wishes?

Let me tell you a little bit about Music History today. 

The late Eric Woolfson who died at age 64 from cancer, was a founding member & songwriter for The Alan Parsons Project.

Ten Alan Parsons Project albums were released and achieved combined sales of more than 40m copies. In 1990 Woolfson successfully relaunched himself as a composer of stage musicals; his latest production, a show based on the life and work of Edgar Allan Poe, received its stage premiere in Berlin 2009. In 1976 an Album was released as Tales of Mystery and Imagination.- Source The Guardian

Where Are They Now? 1982's Biggest Pop Acts

Alan Parsons worked as an engineer on some of rock's greatest albums, including Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of the Moon and the Beatles' Abbey Roadand Let It Be. In 1975, he decided to start making his own music and formed The Alan Parsons Project with singer Eric Woolfson. They had some minor prog-rock hits in the late 1970s, but they didn't really hit paydirt until 1982, when "Eye In The Sky" blew up in America. The song was actually sung by Woolfson, not Parsons, but most people just assumed it was Parsons because the band is named after him. (Carlos Santana has pulled a similar trick throughout his whole career.) Unable to repeat the success of "Eye In The Sky," the duo split in 1990. - Source from The Rolling Stones Article

and a wonderful song : "TIME" 

Lyrics :  

Time Flowing like a river, Time Beckoning me 
Who knows when we shall meet again , If ever 
But time Keeps flowing like a river To the sea. 

Goodbye my love! Maybe for forever ....Goodbye my love 
The tide waits for me 
Who knows when we shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing like a river (on and on) To the sea To the sea 

Till it's gone forever , Gone forever , Gone forever more 
Goodbye my friend , Maybe for forever , Goodbye my friend 
The stars wait for me. 
Who knows where we shall meet again , If ever 
But time Keeps flowing like a river (on and on) To the sea ......To the sea

Till it's gone forever Gone forever Gone 
Forevermore Forevermore Forevermore Forevermore Forevermore

I used to play this song on repeat : 

Eye in the Sky!

"Don't think sorry's easily said"

Yours @mammasitta

I used to listen to Alan Parson Project, and loved the song Time. I did not at the time really associate them and Edgar Allan Poe. And the 1982 album Tales of Mystery and Imagination this is my first listen through of it. Nice start to the day.

In the past 30 years I have only made two New Years resolutions. The first after being badgered by 7 people at work, including the boss what my News Years resolution was I caved in and told them "Fine I won't get a hair cut for the entire year." That was the first resolution I made, people by the end of the year were asking when I was going to get a haircut. So I told them my New Years resolution would be to get my hair cut on my birthday this year and to not make another New Year's resolution for a really long time. So far a really long time is still running.

For you and your friends, may you have a 2018 full of love, joy and happiness. May the music always play, and may time take you where you wish to go.

Happy New Year ! @mammasitta is back in a short while :)

i wish to enjoy all friend .

I am truly amazed that You know this music:) I would love to write more but I am on the street now :)

I cut my hair every decade hahahaa!

Happy Everything and much more ........

I like music, if it is good it is good. Marty Robbins to the mostly unknowns like Aldo Nova and OMD(Orchestrational Maneuvers in the Dark). Music and reading two things that open the mind to possibilities not to limitations. Granted over the last 15 years or so I have not listened to very much New Music, but With a little help from my friends I some times find new things to listen to.

I am planning to post this another time and write the story for that song I also used to listen on repeat.

Enjoy!

Listening now, the name was familiar, looked them up on google, and saw max Headroom in the side box about them. Must have been then that I heard of them. I am halfway through the song, I like it. And the video picture clips are real good. Showing slices of life and love, very nice indeed.

It was only THAT song and This on a so called “maxi single” and I can’t count how often i played it 😳

@tezmel Here is a another one 💫

Thank you for introducing me to all things soulful. I have never heard of The Alan Parsons Project and I have fallen in love. It's amazing how we all relate music and its ability to heal more than anything else!

Thank you so much for sharing :) Keep shining.

You are helping me to shine! I am very happy that you enjoy the music I used to listen back in those youthful days. #timeless sounds heal many generations!
Happy New Year!

This quote jumped in my mind for you

The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet. ~ James Oppenheim

@mammasitta Time flows. The rate at which this happens is relevant to one's mental state. That's why time seems to flow faster when we are having great fun. It all has to do with our perception and observation of time.

I know it's just a song but I felt like sharing my thoughts given the chance!

I think you might like this

Thats a lovely thought of yours and very true :) I hope you also enjoyed that song! Happy New Year!

@mammasitta Thank you so much for your kindness and this song! Truly amazing! Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!

Hello @mammasitta!

One of the best thing i learnt today is ; this beautiful song with powerful lyrics

Time Flowing like a river, Time Beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again , If ever
But time Keeps flowing like a river To the sea.
Goodbye my love! Maybe for forever ....Goodbye my love
The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing like a river (on and on) To the sea To the sea
Till it's gone forever , Gone forever , Gone forever more
Goodbye my friend , Maybe for forever , Goodbye my friend
The stars wait for me.
Who knows where we shall meet again , If ever
But time Keeps flowing like a river (on and on) To the sea ......To the sea
Till it's gone forever Gone forever Gone
Forevermore Forevermore Forevermore Forevermore Forevermore

I found this song a classical piece of art and the lyrics are giving me some deep meanings which i can relate to my life.

Great piece of work, keep sharing such beautiful music with us.

Stay Blessed, Steem On!

I don't stop Yet!!!!

This is what we call the passion and level of commitment, It seems lot more to come which would be worth reading off course :) @mammasitta

Die Musik von "The Alan Parsons Project" gefällt mir gut, wobei für mich die "Pink Floyd"-Einflüsse an manchen Stellen unüberhörbar sind.

Bei den Fotos kommen schöne Erinnerungen hoch :)

I hope you listened to the song TIME.
Yes, Indeed! Das waren die Tage wo wir alle Pink Floyd gehoert haben.
Heute ist mir der Sound von Alan Parson etwas zu fad aber es ist trotzdem interessant wieder „back in time“ zu gehen, zu einer Zeit, wo es aufregender geklungen hat.
Wie hätte ich sonst diese Bilder verpacken sollen 😳 Songs always come to my mind first....

Thank you for sharing this. Thank you for being in tune with art. I will make a Latin version jdjawdhajd

Love "Time" as it is flowing like a river and is the way I think of it. Happy New Year and all the best to you and yours!

Pictures and Songs go so well together. At least for me. Songs jump right into my mind
Happy 2018 for you as well!

I used to love the Alan Parson Project. I had no idea there was only 2 of them! Still have my vinyl copy of Tales of Mystery and Imagination.

thanks for resteem

I recently listed a few of their albums online! :)

Arn't they amazing ??? :) Happy New Year Darling!

And the same to you! :*

@mammasitta I always enjoy your blog. You always share something different. I really didn't know about this song and the Alan Parsons Project. But you as told on your post that you are going to introduce this song lyrics because lyrics are timeless. No doubt that he was not a innovative and cheerful person. I have become aware about this project. Lyrics is outstanding.. he used totally lattractive words in this song.

Time Flowing like a river, Time Beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again , If ever
But time Keeps flowing like a river To the sea. Goodbye my love! Maybe for forever ....Goodbye my love.

Amazing words. These words showing the spirituality of the writer. It's a old song but I think none can sing like him. Writing is an another wonderful art that how to attract with words and how to show sprituality. Thankyou for sharing this Wonderland blog.
Have a good day! <3 <3 :)

I am so pleased that I could teach you about my times back in those 80’s!
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you too!

Life Is flowing like A River.

Thanks much and enjoy the soundsssss

I have not heard this music yet, although my husband is a fan of Pink Floyd. When I'm working , I listen to hard rock or club music).

It’s music of my generation. I am not as excited about it as I was back then, when we all went crazy for Genesis and Pink Floyd.
Different times ......
Now I am into Techno much more Hahhaa

Oh yeah))Techno is also super)))

Such fascinating music to enjoy with that view its like magic in the air

I am so surprised that many people did actually like this music I used to listen many years ago. It’s still effecting People Now. Wonderful!

Thanks for the blast from my past! I loved these guys...

As a cheeky, and rather weird teenager, I made up a story that I told on my way to California in my old, 1973 Ford Pinto. I was telling folks that I had been invited out to LA to sing on The Alan Parson's Project's next record. lol Some folks actually believed me which is stranger than my telling stores of this nature...

Thanks for the Throwback Moment, @mammasitta!
