@gregoryguzman1398 keep up the good work

[LiveCrueltyFreeNow]

Coldplay could do a great cover of this song.

[epicflson]

Very good music

[MrClaudina41]

Para mi amado PAPITO, deseo el día en que deba partir reencontrarme contigo, y dejar mucha enseñanza en los que me rodearon y acompañaron y en lo que lealmente me amaron, espero con regocijo estar contigo para abrazarnos y fundirnos por toda la eternidad, eres por siempre mi gran amor mi viejito, te amo PAPÁ y es por toda la eternidad, tu MODENITA.

[JimastaJ]

Anyone know where Kendrick Lamar sampled this song for Keshia's Song?

[guey1989]

timeless time is short for everyone remind us to take care of those who love now then is too late

Is this Eric Woolfson, or someone else?

[vivelavidarocka]

This is one of those you wish would never end.

[lunaticocelot]

first time i heard to this, it was a beautiful and very touching tune.. i was sooo wrong...!!!! that's a masterpece...!! :-)

[markrawlingscassie]

listen and think about what he's saying, everyones mortal, appreciate what youve got because it will end at some point and you should hope that someone will keep your name in there memory or else what have you lived for. friends mean more than anything else in this life so be carefull who you let into your own little world. real friends make all the difference!

[Tijmen0for0President]

im 15 years old, and this song just got my crying...

[admiralcooper]

My grandfather's coffin was carried to the graveyard whilst this song was playing in the background. Such powerful yet meaningful emotions this song gives me.

[archie977]

what the fuck is this jesus fuckin bullshit he is a bastard

[donco6]

The orchestration on this is astounding. I can listen to it a hundred times.

[pieksma11]

[Indowendie]

Greets from The Netherlands.

[Saber0198]

PINK FLOYD WAS GONE.. BUT STILL THEIR SONGS STILL EXIST AND YOU KNOW!!! ALLAN PARSON AND ROGER WATERS HAVE THEIR COMMON STYLE!! ..

[nusense12345]

This is emotional

[remkot]

Altijd een traan in mijn ogen...... is namenlijk mijn mijn nummer als.... nou je weet wel.........

[madhat1979]

[tbtrey718]

Styles P sampled this song for his hook in the song shadows an i liked it so i just had to find the original song great song and by the way im 19

[gangstamind187]

Zion I- "Bird's Eye View"...a hip hop song that has this as a sample..

[AROD72391]

@gangstamind187 Yes, love that song!

[jfpk114]

Brings tears to my eyes .So beautiful

[JeroenK94]

so beautiful

[nikicover]

<3

[4difference]

I've heared this song live, sang by the zombies' singer (just like here). I didn't like the concert, to be honest: I went for the zombies, I saw Colin Bluntstone and some other geeks. But this song is really stuck in my memories, I really enjoyed it, despite my big disappointment

[2playstationnetwork]

14 are young and stupid

[Ancientmirrors1]

I've been listening to AlanParsons since 77 every "project is pretty intense I'm partial to their works on Edgar Allen Poe in Tales Of Mystery And Inmigination.If i am not mistaken Poe and Crowley were active at about the same time?

[Ancientmirrors1]

This is sheer emotional genious!

[jimmydeboy]

Colin Blunstone on lead vocals . what a great track off the eye in the sky album

[eckythimble]

Let's hope when the final curtain falls before our eyes we will all be saying "Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow"... if you doubt this will happen to you, better start sorting your sh!t out now already.

[Ninelifs]

nou zeg ,zijn wel lekker volwassen ,

lekker nummer ...

[marcelb67]

im old...but not wise...this song realy bring tears in my eyes.....AMAZING

[boelertje44]

14 people missclicked

[IllNinoHolland]

How can you not like this?

I'm a metal and rap fan, but this song is great!

[PunisherF]

14 people didn't remember Alan Parsons while they were old and wise. Shame to them

[FRANCECHILD]

WE ARE ALL TERMINAL. PEACE

[cassisdrinker]

@65bobolink indeed. luckily only 13 bieberfans and still 1254 people with sense for music

[cassisdrinker]

@cassisdrinker oh im sorry. It raised to 13 people.

[maynetita]

I love it. Since I was a teenager was one of my favorites songs. I was living in Mexico in that time and I din't understand the english very well, however I could feel the magic of the music and I had an idea about the lyrics. Years later when I understood this sing I cried so much. This is a song perfect for me. I'm not that old yet but I will be and I already miss that olds that died, the old friends that i left behind and my old life.

[maynetita]

I love this song since about 30 years ago. The lyrics make me cryl

[65bobolink]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever!

To the 12 who disliked... ohhh... you must be "Bieber" fans!!!

[cassisdrinker]

and again people with a terrible sense for music.

twelve to be exact

[MrNurten]

This song is so beautiful always!!! Get tears in my eyes always when I hear it!!!

[ENDO92MAKAVELI]

S.P.GHOST

[marinanijhof]

[noodles6312]

[attyyay]

a favorite!

[IllNinoHolland]

@deb291175

Sterkte!

[deb291175]

9 maanden geleden Bou, verloor ik jou, denk aan je, huil om je, kon je maar blijven...ergens......mis je deb x

[hdgreig1]

The ultimate testament to friendship. A profound statement about the finite nature of life. Let's appreciate life and friendship while we can, and acknowledge those who were friends of ours

[tonytembak]

oo good movie,a dirty carnival.

[superbelle40]

@tonytembak INDEED! IT IS A KOREAN MOVIE

[Nelisje91]

Just wanted to say, I'm happy there's still a dark little corner of youtube where there actually are meaningful top rated comments

Props.

[EurypharPelecanoides]

@Nelisje91

Can you show me where it is? Ain't here.

[narutojag]

@Nelisje91

[reddevil85ful]

[aserrin147]

On sunday 11th September I will upload my version of this wonderful song in my web page..... Hope you like it.

[anonymous6687]

aww this song makes me all sad and emotional.reminds me of all the characters in books who knew they wont survive but still did the right thing. R.I.P. Luke Castellan Albus Dumbledore Severus Snape...

[burtmurdoch]

Dirty Carnival explains it all.

[Sacrament80]

thanks tsip for teaching me so many great songs..i'll miss u when i go..

[Luisabarros7]

Incredible song....sung by an incredible singer. Thanks very much for posting!

[ROACK1]

This is a song of reflection not about suicide or death persay. He is talking about the future :-)

[jozef1]

The way that the lyrics brought to the screen, is quiet annoying :)

[happi2beeme]

When they asked me if they you knew me? I did. And I'm sorry that I didn't answer the phone.

[XxFiNaLFanTasYxX01]

dirty carnival brings me here^^

[turnerfamilyinozi]

I think this beautiful song is about two generations. First his good friend is dying then years later he is dying. Comments?

[Sidonzo]

Whoever sings this has a gorgeous voice.

[IvD89]

@Sidonzo I thought it was Colin Blunstone. But couldn't agree with you more

[MsGvoice]

beautiful song

[brocklesnarufcchamp1]

!! i just love the tune of this music

[brocklesnarufcchamp1]

OMG

[Margar02]

This song MUST be played at my funeral.

[cocochanelxable]

Dit liedje is echt zo mooi ♥

[TheBowgunner]

@cocochanelxable alle 22 thumbs up zijn nederlanders :)

[cocochanelxable]

@TheBowgunner Dat denk ik wel ja ;)

Of de mensen snappen de reactie misschien wel door het hartje, want je gaat niet een hartje neerzetten als je het geen mooi liedje vind, lijkt mij.

[rikkiexx2]

@cocochanelxable ja echt super :P

[themadaboutmusic]

When my time comes, bury me with an ipad(and make sure the itune had this very song in its playlists)

[rockinroller7]

@themadaboutmusic

I appreciate the "Respect," you've sent my way.

It is always much more of an accomplishing feeling when a person my age can come to friendly terms with someone young enough to be a son or daughter of mine, but it seems you've either been taught, or learned to listen to the thoughts of others, and leaving the anger out of any disagreement you may feel, and perhaps even warmth for those who disagree, as well as agree, my 'friend.'

Peace.

Rock

[themadaboutmusic]

@rockinroller7 : )

[rockinroller7]

@themadaboutmusic

Sorry, but I haven't mastered the technique, or type of communication you've used, meaning I can't define what you sent to me. Please explain.

Peace.

Rock

[rockinroller7]

monterock100-With all due respect, has the very obvious completely down, and a downer it is, for me.

It doesn't have to be only 'sadness,' but maybe celebration of not who one may have looked like, but who they were. What they did do when they didn't have to do anything.

When they didn't speak, when silence may have been more supportive.

Maybe, each of our imaginations might come up with a much more, "happy ending."

We move on.

Peace.

Rock

[s13240sx92]

@rockinroller7 i take it ur no teenager, i am, and thts sum wise shyt right there. respect man 1

[bebes49]

I am old and wise, and for yrs I have said that this is one of the songs I want played at my send off. The words say it all. It is NOT about suicide, it is about the cycle of life as another poster commented, and the older we get the more wise, we look back and see things we could have changed, but we are now wise, and are saying good bye to those we leave behind.

[gamesfrome]

I hate the last 1:20 minutes of the song because its so beautiful. It just tears my heart apart. It leaves me empty because it sounds to me like the song is moving away from me, and I am left behind. I just wanted you to know how much I love this song. When you are feeling down, listen to it, and listen to what he sings, 'When Im Old and Wise', go on living and loving with what youve got!

[seanodor]

Angela you will be in my heart for ever and ever.

[EsmeeGraver]

I was 32 years old and my (then) marriage was falling apart! I heard this song and knew that there's a life after a divorce! This song kept (and keeps) me happy after a real bad time in my life, sop: Goodoh!

[arynaq]

A dirty canival, anyone else?

[woutervandegoorr]

After they played this song at my gramdma's funural, it became one of my favorite songs!

[ShimmerEspeon]

Man, I thought I was the only person left on Earth who had even heard of Alan Parsons...But now I found some other fans, here in the comments! YAAAY!

This is a beautiful song, and even though I hadn't heard it in years I randomly got it stuck in my head one day, and went to look it up. And now I wanna sing to it!!!

[pieterFRuigrok]

Simpley the best!

From Holland.

[aronlist]

it was on the second place in the dutch 80's top 200 so it's certainly an knwon album in Holland.

[WestcountryDude]

A beautiful song from a great, yet relatively unknown, album.

[jessicasteringa]

ik heb op niet leuk gekilikt,

omdat dit nummer op de begravenis van mijn oom was :(

[ErenUnver]

dat vind ik echt een grote nee het is op je ooms begravenis misschien vond hij het leuk op paste het erbij maar dat is geen reden voor een nee

[musicpast]

true and love. 2 things that never can disappear.

[joyhockeygirl]

my grandpa loved this song...

but now he is dead.....

[TheCorrientje]

A beautifull song if I die I want my family to play this song. But I hope to get very old (and wise) and I shall listen to this song every day.

[ddobb]

Now I know y u introduced me to this song! It breaks my heart that u had to leave me so soon. U'll always be in my heart. Till we meet again, I'll pray for u always. May god give me the strength to continue this journey alone. I MISS U! Rest in peace my darling!

[TheSynceProductions]

@ddobb I must understand that your husband has passed away? if so, may he bless you from above

[ddobb]

@TheSynceProductions .. thank you for your kind feelings. Yes it's my husband (may he rest in peace)

[derejay]

@ddobb ..sorry..seems I know exactly how you feel. the song is actually more pleasant a reminder than the photos...take care, ddobb :)

[HenrikFreestyle]

@ddobb good luck on your journey! :)

[veguixor]

@ddobb you made me cry. i send you big hugs from argentina

[74bshs]

@Flyswap Thanks for the ID on the vocalist, I knew he sounded like the guy doing lead on "Tell Her No". Now go look at my comment above. Peace!

[74bshs]

We all grow old. We do not all grow wise. We hope to gain from the former, the latter. I think that this song embraces both of these sentiments. What a great number. Peace!

[doobi2226]

Wonderful!!!!!!!

[Rockmeistro1]

11 people not old enough or wise enough to really get this song!!

[OMF33]

Fantastic!



[malfalcon]

A great song! I really like monterocks interpretation! really nice! right on!

Life is beautiful, wonderful and tragic at the same time!

I was lucky enough to sit down with Alan and interview him at the roswell UFO festival for my tv show ENCHANTMENTS !! He was so cool to hang out with!!!

Great tunes, great memories! Live well my friends, time is short!

[zinnoy]

een van die nummers die ik ooit hoorde, geweldig vond, en toevallig heb gevonden.

[bzhcym91]

one more song that when i listen to, i'm about to cry .i hold my tears.

[rodgeprecise]

...This song is terribly good before my very ears. Wanna listen to it everytime. I got to hear of this when it has been one of the Soundtracks of a Korean movie entitled 'A Dirty Carnival'. I immediately do search it her in Youtube and have it downloadable in my phone so I could hear it more often. The lyrics also speaks so I better listen. Two thumbs Up from me.

[takemeback2]

The more stuff I find on you tube makes me realize how bad radio REALLY is!

[74bshs]

@takemeback2 Hey, radio really still isn't bad. You just have to find the right stations, but yes, they are getting harder and harder to find. If you are referring to the lack of good music that we used to find at the turn of the car radio knob during the 60's, 70's, and early '80's, then I will agree with you. And this song was just a small part of it all, but a great tune just the same.

[takemeback2]

@74bshs This town I live in is Chicago. The oldies station here sucks, period.

[winnemuca]

waauw!

[RHRSUNDER]

it's so beautiful

[MsGvoice]

the first time I heard this song i knew that this will be my funeral song... it made me cry.

[WatchMeShred]

Love this song. It's so deep it can be about anything you want. I feel like it's about forgiving people in your life that you left behind. But if it touches you in another way then you are also right. Thank you APP!

[NTLY100]

TIME IS THE BEST OF ALAN PARSON BUT THIS SONG IS ALMOST PERFECT TOO

[xmhefny]

Just Beautiful

[GermanCustomCars]

I really like this song but they should've stopped it at 3:30

the sax ruins it a bit

[linny177]

@GermanCustomCars

Agreed

[LittleBabyWheeler]

@GermanCustomCars uh...no.

[TheSynceProductions]

@GermanCustomCars not in the nearest bit, the sax is a great add to the song. It continues the song in the exact way it was meant to be: music full of emotion

[MicroWorldLover]

My husband, Hal, died of an asthma attack on his 27th B'day, October 6, 1980. I am STILL in love with him. I am 56, now, and I want this song to carry me to the afterlife.

[woutervandegoorr]

Grandma I love You!

[demcdonaldizer]

For me, also, this song is about having made a difference, having had an impact on someone's life. In all our pursuits we forget that life is really all about each other, about who has touched you and who have you touched. No amount of money can buy that, no amount of stuff can help you obtain it, you have to put yourself out there.

[adhirleydelfini]

@demcdonaldizer

You´re right. I totally agree with you.

[Poopaloo55]

Colin Blunstone...no equal.

[bunchie1966]

Beautiful song. I love the Alan Parsons project.

[MegaNORCAL707]

R.I.P. DAD......

[zaine1976]

Will have this played at my funeral.

[bzhcym91]

for three years only 306325 views, stupid world. you don't know what you're missing

[slymerecords]

favorite song off eye In the sky

[lovesheenalove]

good music very cool never stop listening this music

[monterock100]

A song for suicide? Not for me! This is a song about a person who is looking at the cycle of life and recognizes that a human life is finite. He sees ahead to the end of the cycle. He sees the long shadows. He knows that there will come a time when the final curtain falls...when he's old and wise and he was your friend and you his. And in knowing this there is no burden there is no sadness as he leaves.  The cycle of life = birth, growth, attainment, conservation, decay, death. Then...

[Seiga]

@monterock100 ...Then, a world beyond where none can look back, where one realizes the cycle, ever continues. That this "death" is just a "birth" in a new shell, a dream we wake up from. A dream within a dream, and we realize, that being old is just going back to the original void we came from. We leave with nothing that we didn't come into this world with already....

[monterock100]

@Seiga - Yes! Exactly! Thank you.

[mendonponds]

@monterock100 well said!

[Lou28100]

@monterock100 I have no better words to describe this song...1000 tumbs up for you

Lou, Montréal, Canada

[HenrikFreestyle]

@monterock100 you are allready wise

[maricelstrauss]

so peaceful.... what a beautiful song

[wichitarick]

Instead of using this for my link to sadness I have used this to CELEBRATE my daughters 13th birthday and my connection to her as her mentor. Rick Dad

[RobbieOwnsYa]

@Gothmogism WTF is a suicide song dude, seriously?
