You Won't Be There - Alan Parsons Project

[CSavageSr]

nice. made me cry.

[jmsjaj]

it seems to resonate with so many of us...just sent it to my lady...or should i say ex...we have made the same claim to each other....not there when needed...all that to say...this song makes me weep

[malthuswasright]

Not heard this in years! Great song, if a bit maudlin...

[anddaz]

Bee Gees style voice?

[manicmikey8854]

So many years since I heard this. Good Stuph!

[ebayporn123]

[TheTonypizz]

@ebayporn123 and than u get one and the problems begin again

[petergabriel99]

Rest in Peace Eric......

[alagumbo]

Tage, I love Alan Parsons Project's "You Won't be There" ....Scarcrow's Dream by Dan Fogelberg is still my fav. but this is a close second by you >:))

[cebran6]

i have never heard this song until two days ago, what a great tune. a real gem...cannot stop playing it. i have alot of A.P. stuff but, not eve.

[Fernandocatan]

This is an incredibly sad song that contains a true message.... 5 stars.

[nighthawk48509]

it's called you won't be there from eve

[TageKaliandrino]

I know. I changed the title to try and protect it during the recent WMG purge in YouTube and never got around to changing it back.

[nighthawk48509]

i see what you're saying.

[bil56]

This song bothers me even today... I expresses the feelings well of those who lost loved ones that decided to go thier respective ways even when bitterness didn't become the deciding factor.

[TheTonypizz]

@bil56 when they blindside u in 4 days the worst ,but thats y its called destiny

[bil56]

@TheTonypizz never thought something I posted would be answered a year later. I was referring to a love lost to age difference. One day it was over and we both agreed. I was blindsided then and never looked back. We were both free of one another to go our seperate ways s friends. What a switch.

[bea30tl42]

Beautifully sung, arranged and written. Very eloquent and poignant.

[gigaman1989]

Dave Townsend sings this. Does anyone know anything about him?

[Rabinowitzstu]

Beautiful, poignant - more so because I am separating from my wife. Gothic imagery perfectly reflects the state of my soul

[catwilmat]

Yes...what a beautiful song. I can relate so well....don't know how long I can "hold on" to someone who doesn't want to hold on to me. This song has really touched me.

[Mishulyna]

@Rabinowitzstu : You're right, there's nothing like this song to pass thru a broken relation

[lefthandedgenious]

Eve was APP's best album, I think. Nice work.

[ferveh]

Good job with the images, congratulations!

[psychodelictrip]

gran tema,

sin duda alguna una obra maestra

del señor alan parsons....

[johnbrightside]

nicely done

[JOEneil69]

Beautiful pictures for a beautiful song.

Good job!

[urbania70]

Very good and emotional. Some fans could not like it for the mental images from this song are quite personal, but I like it.

Intentional or not there are a couple of APP references: the wall with small window at 0:50 resembles the photo in the innersleeve of the album (Eve), we get ravens. Fav moment 1:18-20: "So if they turn off the light of the sun, why should I care?"

[sonrisesonceagain]

You hit the nail right on the head with all your comments; Urbania. wondering if you or anyone else knows if Parsons and Woolfson will ever get back together. I'm guessing they split up because woolfson's voice was beginning to show signs of age?

[urbania70]

1. As E&A write on the expanded edition CDs, reunion is unlikely although not impossible. Indeed they worked together on those editions.

2. Splitting occured because Eric began writing theatrical musicals.

3. Eric's voice absolutely didn't give signs of age as it still doesn't now.. right now Eric publishes an album where he completes APP incompleted songs and sings on all of them with his voice of always.

[urbania70]

Still in reply to sonriseonceagain:

4. Even if Eric lost voice that wouldn't have been a problem, as his main roles were songwriter and keyboardist and APP had lots of vocalists.
