Featured Parsons and Dan Tracey on lead vocals, the song featured a catchy, but anonymous melody. It would have been better were it not for Parsons flat and uninspired vocals. Tracey's contributions simply buried Parsons. Should have let him handle lead vocals. During 2010, several media reports [15] [16] (one of which included a quote from a representative of Parsons), [17] alleged that the song " Need You Now" by country music group Lady Antebellum used the melody and arrangement of " Eye in the Sky".

It was a bit of a frustration for me that I didn't get all the engineering credit," Parsons remarked of Dark Side of the Moon, "because Chris [Thomas] came in as mixing supervisor… I had been working on the album for a year and I obviously knew it inside-out by the mixing stage… There were times when I thought Chris was wrong, particularly about the use of limiting and compression on the mix, which I've never been a fan of… Although, later, I got the opportunity to mix the album the way I wanted when I did the quadraphonic version."

A few years ago, when Alan Parsons released what was being hinted as his final studio album, The Secret, I must admit that upon my first few listens I was underwhelmed. By no means was this late career offering “bad” or even “mediocre”. It just didn’t resonate with me the same way as those classic 70s and 80s Alan Parsons Project albums do, which is an unfair judgement considering one half of the Project, and their primary songwriter/vocalist at that, Eric Woolfson, is no longer with us. Hence why while the musical and recording practices of the Project remain alive and well, the moniker does not. This is purely Parsons’s vision.

There are also other limiting factors lately: “I’m getting on in years – I’m 73 now,” Parsons says, “but I’m still pretty energetic, as far as making music is concerned. Having said that, I’ve developed a very nasty spinal stenosis issue, which requires surgery, so I unfortunately had to postpone the upcoming [tour] in Europe that was due to start about ten days from now. I was heartbroken about that, but I’m very confident I’ll be fine: I’ve got a good orthopedic doctor who’s going to take care of it.” His surgery, he says, is set for just a few days after this interview.

However, the best vocals on the album, however, come from Parsons himself. “Don’t Fade Now” features his vulnerable vocals and is the high point of the album, and one of the best songs he has ever created. As good as the guests are, one cannot help but wish that Parsons sang lead more often. It is a brilliant song, lyrically and musically. The song, like much of the album, centres on viewing the past, and one’s place in the present. Parsons engineered the third solo album by Steven Wilson, The Raven that Refused to Sing (And Other Stories), released on 25 February 2013. In his work with Al Stewart's " Year of the Cat," Parsons added the saxophone part and transformed the original folk concept into the jazz-influenced ballad that put Stewart onto the charts.

Great lyrics, but unfortunately a bland chorus and an unnerving saxophone solo.
