The Alan Parsons Project- Don't Let It Show

[cowboyofpicketwire]

Words I have lived by

[80sOldSkool]

Pat Benatar hit's the high notes in her version much better than A.P.P.

[Crosivka]

What Masterpieces Eric Woolfson write!! Unbelievable Music!!

This Albums are all really great! he take his stamp on the early 80'th !

Rest in Peace! And thanks for much loving moments with APP!!

[licar50]

Muchisimo tiempo atras, cuando era so young, esta musica makes me cry. Hoy tambien.

[alandhopewell]

Just beautiful.

[PokerKing927]

He's rock and rolling with God in heaven, rest in peace Eric..

[sealyoness]

This was one of the most frighteningly casual songs AP Project recorded. I cried when I was finally old enough to understand its real meaning. I memorized it. Will NEVER let it go. Never.

[csplendrig]

the bass fill at 1:51 reminds me of some of the bass fills on "Goodbye to Romance" by Ozzy (3:20 in for example)

[totallylate]

Ive had this album since 1978 ---- i now have it on cd & mp3=== and when the format changes again ill have it on that to

[edwardprzydzial]

pat benatar does this song awesome. check it out...

[stonedraughn]

Thanks for sending me this, my mom loves Alan Parsons Project.

[cosmicrider287]

a sensational great song.

[loislombardo]

@cosmicrider287 yes it is henrey

[DINKENSPIEL]

wth?? Been out of touch with the world for a while.

woolfson died? makes me so sad..........

[dtennow]

Why can't anyone make music like this anymore?

[utuberine]

You could say that. More like saying how the world was for them, but more like, as many songs do, speak in the riddle form that most songs do, You know, how most songs we decipher to fit into our lives. Knowing what you know, now that I told you, listen again to the words, with your heart.

[jcopen]

I did not appreciate this song so much back when I bought the album in the early 80's, but now, wow, what a beautiful number!

[nigelo92]

Excellent song! But what's it's meaning/story behind lyrics?

[utuberine]

@nigelo92 This song is about the relationship between Alan and Eric. Even though you got nothin to hide keep it inside of you dont give in don't tell them anything dont let it show Just like Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, it just wasn't the right time for everyone to know they were homosexual, but it didn't stop the world from loving them for their awesome work. My Dad was gay, it wasn't the right time for him either RIP Dad, And Eric and all you other lost souls looking for peace. God Bless.

[mavsfan1000]

@utuberine So this is a coming out of the closet song? lol

[mavsfan1000]

I don't hate gays but I wouldn't want to be around one. I am disgusted by that. And by the way your message sounds like a threat. Should I be worried by you?

[bolmsp]

@mavsfan1000 im not gay but i will defend them n what i meant by my remark was what i meant the wrong person not me but the wrong person @ the wrong tyme it could happen just saying some people take gay bashing seriously

[mavsfan1000]

@bolmsp My apologies if I offended anyone here. I'm not a gay basher. I just found utuberine's made up story funny. I am a Queen (the band) fan as well. I will never want to know if someone is gay though. That just makes things awkward.

[bolmsp]

@mavsfan1000 it's cool i honor ur apology n apologize myself for snapping :)

[dana2k]

@utuberine Neither the wikipedia page for Eric nor the one for Alan mention that they were homosexual. Both were/are married to women, and Eric had children. Do you have any factual basis for this claim?

[utuberine]

@dana2k That is because they,"didn't let it show". and no factual basis other than my own opinion. Thats all.

[bolmsp]

@dana2k hes just an asshole to insult app rip eric

[utuberine]

@bolmsp I fail to see how thinking that someone is gay, is insulting. What is the matter with you man?

[LinguistTroubadour]

One thing it doesn't remind me of is a funeral.

I actually relate this to something quite else.

[michaelsivley]

ahhhh MEMORIES..

[muccimaura]

E' stato uno dei gruppi ke hanno fatto dei pezzi straordinari,ho molti ricordi...

[aegudger]

Great upload I had the album years ago, I had forgotten about this song ,what great memories just came flooding back, thanks for uploading.

[MKA829]

I don't understand that happens after 3:02

[bassmanjoe]

Amazing, one of many great songs from Eric And Alan, pure genious. They have so much to offer in their catalog of music. 

[masquenada8]

great song.

[xeuropn]

I remember playing this song for my girlfriend, thinking that it would get her in the mood. 31 years later, she still won't get in the mood when I play this song, but it's still a great song. I won't let it show. ;-0

[ronaldkable]

The words of this song were like a soothing mantra in some difficult teenage times...

[MaidofKent1965]

Just beautiful; takes me back so many years in a heartbeat.

[YetAnotherMovie89]

I won't give in... and I will continue hiding our secret... but I can't let it go... and I can't stop believing... I just can't, I know you'll be there in the end ;n; I love you... without your flame... I'd just smother... extinguish... and dissepear... ;-; I understand the lyrics, I simply can't force myself doing half of what's said, I'd end up collapsing and looking miserable, I'd lose the sparkle that's keeping me in life...

[Frank332666]

Tales of Mystery and Imagination and I Robot are my two favorites albums by Alan Parsons Project :)

[BarneyUSMC]

My favorite APP song...Thanks for sharing.

[BarneyUSMC]

My favorite APP song...Thanks for sharing.

[alien62000]

please give life a chance!

[ozbehind]

So ahead of its time..... but so relevant now

[ozbehind]

So ahead of its time..... but so now!

[ozbehind]

Truly ahead of its time..... but so now....

[MrBjorn91]

The intro sounds like a funeral to me, with the church organ in the background. It's a very emotional and touching song. I agree that I Robot is atrue masterpiece. This song proves it!

[airsidetv]

just brilliant

[MsChristine123]

takes me back to my teens,one of my most favourite albums,LOVE IT.!!!

[MsMomtofive]

This is THE best album EVER> I met ALan 2 years ago in St. Charles MO on my 48th bday. The man is a genius.

[klm7858]

The sad story line reminds me of "Artificial Intelligence" and Ray Bradbury's "The Electric Grandmother". Both sad movies about unwanted robots. But a beautiful song nonetheless.

[allennnnnn91]

I've always loved music since I was a kid. I was 12 when I started to listen to my dads old records. Found music to be 'my thing'. Well I found this baby and my god this is by far the best album out there. This song is so strong I love it so much especially at 2:48.

This reminds me of my parents divorce and myself just becoming a teen.

[greatmya]

Sorry about your parents divorce. My ex and I divorced when my sons were 5 and 2. I feel soo bad they didn't have that traditional loving family, like I had.

[DanielLaszloKovacs]

Huhh, what a wonderful, sentimental, romantic piece...!!

[geniusinmath]

That is the same song as the 21 pilot of 1982 I like it thanks for uploading it.

[1chawkins]

Rest in peace Eric Woolfson...an amazingly talented artist.

[PcolaSteve4234]

@1chawkins I didn't know. That makes this song even harder now to listen to adding it to the pain from my past that it reminds me of.

[Juicio87]

@1chawkins NO SHIT....HE DIED?????? noooooooooooo

[sunshinerules51]

This song and "Don't Answer Me" (by APP) are two of my all-time favorites. I've just learned that Eric Woolfson, co-founder of APP, died in the early a.m. hours on Dec. 2, '09. May he rest in peace. Condolences to his family and to his friends...

[jogobana007]

i like this seen i school  1978,

thank you I love Alan PArsons Project

[gladstoned66]

Pure waarheid.

[Heavily9]

This song is so beautiful...

[Mickagume]

This song is gorgeous! It's amazing that this album came out over 30 years ago, and it is as if he were writing about the world we live in today in 2009.

[9diogenes]

hi!

the alan parsons project is fabulous!

His songs are hits!

His voice is very good!

byeeeee

[Fernandocatan]

The first time I listened to this song, I cried like a little child. This song is simply too beautiful! There are actually many songs of The APP which are pure masterpieces. 5 STARS!

Best Regards

A very huge fan of The APP

[rosesredvioletsblue]

Excellent video~

Thank you

[RobayoOrtega]

En 1977 salió el disco "I Robot", el cual incluye este hermoso tema; "Don't Let It Show".
