Alan Parsons - 'As Lights Fall' (Official Music Video)

Grammy Award Winning legendary music icon and master of progressive rock, Alan Parsons will return with a new album, “The Secret” via Frontiers Music Srl.

Alan’s longtime hobby has been performing magic and this brand new album showcases his own passion for the craft, hence the title “The Secret.” The album sees a return to the pop rock sound with symphonic and progressive rock interludes which the Alan Parsons Project was known for.

"Magic has always been a passion of mine, I am a member of The Magic Castle in Los Angeles. I've also worked with the Japanese magic company Tenyo, writing instruction books and catalogs for their tricks. I dabble with magic myself in my free time, so an album with magical influences was a natural progression”.

One thing I'm sure: When Alan's curtain falls, he will NOT fade away. His music will be remembered and cherished for many years beyond!

[dwaynebrammage]

I pray this album is not your curtain call, Alan. Please keep your creativity flowing - the world needs all the beautiful things it can get.

[ethansobsessions]

One day, when I finally pass away and all my deeds here are done, I want this song and Woolfson’s “Old and Wise” to be played at my funeral.

[SpyroFan]

What an incredible tribute to the amazing history of this band. RIP Eric Woolfson.

To my brother Timothy September 16, 1957 - September 29, 2023. My hand was on his chest when the nurse took him off the respirator and I felt him breathe his last breathe, and felt his heart beat its last beat. I'll meet you there, brother, but not yet, not yet.

[leepshin]

Today's generation of "pop stars" and "record producers" take note. THIS IS HOW SONG WRITING WAS DONE BACK IN THE DAY AND HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE "TODAY". This brand new release of Alan's proves that.

[thomasmorrison]

Wow, real music in 2019. I can't believe it. Real guitar, real voice with no auto-tune, and meaningful lyrics. What a nice change.

[Insectman]

Aye in the Sky. :) Thank you for being part of the soundtrack for my life, Alan. <3 Ya!

[cdthompsonmusic]

I love the fact that Alan is singing the Lead Vocals here. I enjoy his voice because it’s real and not auto tuned or over produced. Even live I’m enjoying what he is up to vocally ... keep it up Alan Parsons

[wallytjr]

Wow. What a masterpiece. I am sorry I didn’t discover this song before January 2025. Good job Alan!

[gonzogonzales]

Wonderful how the story of this artist is represented here with tribute to Eric. Thanks Alan, God will honor you....

[TheRealMusicObserver]

Alan Parsons is one of the finest producers of our time. I'm so glad he gave us one more album.

[LaughingKrow]

My dad introduced me to Alan's music when I was a kid growing up in the 90s. I adored all of it. In 2019 I got the chance to fly down to Florida with my dad for the Cocoa Beach concert, for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. It was the first time I've seen him in concert. And for him to bring a stool and a guitar center stage to play this song... It was practically a religious experience. Thank you Mr. Parsons. For everything.

[BabisPappas]

Most of Alan Parsons songs, the more you listen to them the more you like them

[Slaughta]

Dad, if you ever see this, I miss you and I love you no matter what. Thank you for giving me life. I hope you find what you are searching for.

[holmavik]

Having listened to APP for ages, it has not struck me before what a great vocalist Alan is. Absolutely brilliant!

[mbarsky]

Alan is a gentle giant and has become one of my very favorite musicians, right up there with Jeff Lynne. Well done on the new album. We're not ready for any curtain calls yet!

[terribrennan]

Alan Parsons is the best musical director of our time. Thanks for giving us years of music that is both wonderful and timeless. Love this!

[schwobakracher-glotze]

A wonderful tribute to Eric Woolfson, the master of melody - I love it !!!

Mr. Parsons is a deeply spiritual man who has always had an amazing ability to express some of the tender and sensitive experiences of the human heart. He conveys the journey of life and the bittersweet longings and questions that comprise our experience. There are few songwriters or singers like him.
