The Alan Parsons Project - Silence and I
written by Eric Woolfson
If I cried out loud
over sorrows I've Known
And the secrets I've heard
It would ease my mind
Someone sharing the load
But I won't breathe a word
We're two of a kind
Silence and I
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and I
We'll find a way to work it out
While the children laughed
I was always afraid
of the Smile of the clown
So I close my eyes
Till I can't see the light
And I hide from the sound
We're two of a kind
Silence and I
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and I
We'll find a way to work it out
I can hear the cry
Of the leaf on a tree
As it falls to the ground
I can hear the call
of an echoing voice
And there's no one around
We're two of a kind
Silence and I
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and I
We'll find a way to work it out

핑크 플로이드의 스튜디오 엔지니어 출신이었던
Alan Parsons가 결성한 프로젝트 밴드,
The Alan Parsons Project의 불멸의 명반 [Eye in the Sky] 수록곡.
Eric Woolfson의 아름다운 보컬과 키보드 연주,
Alan Parsons의 프로듀싱과 스튜디오 기술이 집약된 1980년대 초반의 명품 대중음악.
차디 찬 겨울바람이 부는 밤,
한 잔의 술과 함께
턴테이블에 이 레코드를 걸어보는 것은
후회없는 멋진 시간을 선사할 것이다.

Old and Wise
같은 앨범, B면 마지막 곡 'Old and Wise'.
1990년대 종로3가와 영등포에서 음악다방 DJ 아르바이트를 할 때
하루에 1번씩은 꼭 틀었던,
너무나도 사랑하는 곡이다.
리드 보컬은 객원 세션으로 참여한
Colin Blunstone (1945 ~ , 영국 밴드 The Zombies 출신) .
인생의 황혼기에 지난 날을 돌아보며
육체는 비록 쇠잔하였을지라도 정신만은 현명하고픈...
늦가을이나 초겨울 공기 사이로
스산하게 흩어지는 듯한 보컬이 일품이다.
written by Eric Woolfson
As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go
And, oh, when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh, when I'm old and wise
As far as my eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go
And, oh, when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh, when I'm old and wise
As far as my eyes can see
