Don't Let It Show - The Alan Parsons Project

[thalassa1959]

in memory of my father love you dad xxxx

[coolestvox]

@michaelsivley ...I'm horrified. I accidentally gave you a thumbs up! This song helped me curl into a little ball after being brutally assaulted and raped by some guy on steroids. I survied, but at what cost? yYour attitude towards sexuality is horrific.

[michaelsivley]

@coolestvox its gone feel better? I am horrified at rape too and had a girlfriend who was and it consumed me with rage. I wanted to grind him to powder so do as the song says. it happened, you deal with it and move on.

tryly i am sorry if it offended you .that was not my intent whatsoever

[michaelsivley]

@coolestvox you really should seek victim counciling. really

[AllRockClassic]

Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons were not professional musicians: Alan Parsons (London, December 20, 1948) worked as a sound engineer at EMI's Abbey Road in London .

[codern]

54 stupids

[Pally3200]

53 people let it show....

[ivorystroker]

Group hug !!!!

[michaelsivley]

i'm dying but I cant let it show , just too busy besides its part of living and I have no fear only the small fear of pain but i have been assured they have drugs for that.

I fear a little for my boys. I hope I have taught them enough, no i hope i have taught them to think about it before you do it ,whatever it is . they are good boys and the world is a better place with them in it as Van would say "Ill see you futher on up the road

[420RaverRasta]

genius 

[missingstthomas]

best of the best songs ever written...

[goonerash]

THIS IS A SHIT RECORDING--SEARCH FOR A BETTER ONE

If your recording sounds like shit, don't post it!!!

[deansusky]

I grew up with this song ,,and at times still gets me ,,,and ,,helps a lot

[jansuch]

I guess I'm the only one that thinks this song gives awful advice. Unless you think that bottling up all your hurt and being a fake all your life is the right path to happiness.

[utuberine]

@jansuch 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.

[SummernlightningUSA]

@utuberine the hell is wrong with you calling paul stanley and gene simmons gay, you fucking weirdo you.

[macao2009]

THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK THIS IS THE BEST APP SONGS.

[prober45]

pitiful that over 50 people are completely devoid of musical taste and empathy

[MrHounsou]

I know this song since its album was published. Today I use this song to say goodbye to one of my pets. I feel so sad...

[sanderclarijs777]

@MrHounsou 0621476784

[bmr622]

@MrHounsou have a dog going through chemo (which will buy her about a year of health) and am silently preparing for losing her and am scared to death. She is the best part of my life. I'm sorry for your loss.

[NTLY100]

so nice so deep .... listen to PAT BENATAR version !!!

quelle chanson !!!! vraiment tres fort !!!!

[barrywroteit]

@NTLY100 I first heard this song from Pat. "In The Heat of the Night" was the first album I ever bought, and this was my favorite song on the album. I had always loved APP, but did not know this was their song. It sounds so much different when performed by the two different artists.

[elinorvonzahm]

Love Alan's new song (via the SubClones) which is called "How Fragile We Are" . Don't know who wrote it but AP was involved and the song is awesome and kind of haunting like this one.

[spadge321]

shit recording mother fucker,,,

[MrMike0507]

וואו

[upthcreek]

i would comment, but it would dissagree with the words

[puppythink1]

don't give in, don't tell them anything...

[gandlaf22]

this is the best song ever made in the world

[1111Evangeline]

@gandlaf22 close anyway

[theelectkickenass]

love your music

[mikeyg1959]

Probably we can all embrace the sentiment here for one reason or another??????

Enjoy and be precious about what you have and not what you might have.

Remember the Floyd track where each day is 'one day closer to death'.

Don't waste it...........................

[mikeyg1959]

This is one of musics true classics.

[SekCMomE]

Love You, Sherri.............ottograf

[bossmarion]

even if you've got nothing to hide.....

[harponotmarx]

I just love the bass line on this

[segelstine]

OOH I LOVE IT

I WILL SEE AND HEARE THEM ON 30-11- IN HEERLEN

[magaha63]

what ever happen ttto music like this oh how i yearn for it

[spolier]

ahahaha!

[MrsKathleenLittle]

I am only 25, but my mom raised me listening to this music. I love The Alan Parsons Project

[danielnordeen]

@MrsKathleenLittle Your mom has exceptional taste and guess what? You inherited it.

[gremos86]

Hate the heavy interrupts in this Video! The song is so wonderful! This destroy the whole song! :(

[Kirke182]

It suddenly occurred to me that you could fit the guitar solo from Bohemian Rhapsody into this just before the change point.

[mikewandaful]

i agree with sirjames45. as i have nearly got all of his albums.if you realy lisen to music.like alan parsons.the lyrics.speak.volumes.for those who find it difficult.to express.them selves.and want to live in a world free from violence.and the ugliness.that surounds us.dont let it show.& the turn of a friendly card.by alan parsons come.to mind.

[alicia33o1]

ooooh shit !!!! pat benatar ! please don't let him do that at this song so beautiful !!!!

[rugratz2222]

Any version of this posted that doesn't cut it off? songus interruptus always disturbs me ...

[80srule4ever]

From what planet are the 42 people who voted this song down?

[rwwagsneb]

@80srule4ever --I suppose the same 42 mal-adjusted people who objected to it being played at the Psych clinic, when they came for meds and psycho-therapy.

The same people who have an identity created solely out of pain and loss (Real or imagined)...and the maintaining the constant covering over it .

I'm not a fan of Psychologists--but please,..."Put the boulder down off your back and join the human race".

[80srule4ever]

@rwwagsneb You see my friend, my comment was precisely directed to those who cannot comprehend the meaning of this song -- thus without such comprehension they chose to vote it down. You are trying to convince us that those who do not like this song voted it down because they feel offended by the meaning of it? Or by those who identify way too close with it ??? The path to healing is to confront what ails and hurts us my friend, regardless of how painful this might be.

[rwwagsneb]

@80srule4ever --ehh, Piss- off.

anyone I don't know who calls me"friend" is pissing down my leg ....and trying to tell me it's raining.....

I meant what I said --and I said what I meant. No more, no less.

[80srule4ever]

@rwwagsneb You seem to be a very angry person, it is sad really. I also stand by my words and quite firmly at that.

[rwwagsneb]

@80srule4ever --...and you seem to be a completely fucking disingenuous person and an absolute fake.

It is not sad--Lundberg, it is just how you are, as you try to sneak up on people with your bizarre arrogance. Go away now,..I have a meeting with the Bob's..

Psychiatry calls people like you "Passive Aggressive".

[80srule4ever]

@rwwagsneb Does this ranting of yours warrant an answer? Nahhh! Wish you only the best to you. Peace!

[upthcreek]

@rwwagsneb then piss off

[svagrod]

My favorite tripping album... went through every emotion,good and bad!!! It was an eye opener :)

[paulie4483]

like verey much

[remfanbeforu]

I used to love this song so much, but know it means more. In our youth we don't know the struggles life will put us through. And, no, don't let it show, it just gives them satisfaction! The Alan Parsons project was a band that "grew" with me and lead me, too.

[Phailin]

I actually heard Pat Benatar's version of this first...and I have to say, I love them both.

[diamondlil221]

Everytime i listen to this song from Alan Parson "Don't let it show,Really brings back the good ole days of the high school days,But again,Love all Alan Parson Project..

[gifin100]

gli alan parsons sono la colonna sonara di tutta la mia vita:::

[steelbrzz]

Don't let it show...

[dvargashell]

those scratches on the record really enhance those suicidal memories

[dotspace77]

@dvargashell Haha

[matsuri52]

"Don't Let It Snow"

[Trolljoe]

All of the songs that this band wrote and played were always excellent.. The way they sang and sounded as a group were always one of my all time favorites, still to this day, they still are

[MrChasmaniac]

those eyes look like sinead's

[gilkrisutube]

@MrChasmaniac - Well no ... this look is mine, I'm Christine, I live near Lyon and am surprised that this photo is on the Internet.

[fluffythecat2]

@gilkrisutube

so...you wanna go out some time? :D

[agustingtti]

love alan parson ! amazing lyrics

[Vexxboy]

re: the scratches.

Was on the original lp that I had. Always assumed that I had scratched the album, obviously not?  Seems to be part of the production.

Peace and love and kindness to everyone,

Vexxboys' wife xxx.

[23HappyApples]

where all the scratches coming from.......??

[ABSTRACTTK1A]

WAS IT ME OR YOU THAT DID IT?

[HUSKY57887]

You cut the song off

[alien62000]

just keep it up please. to everyone who needs it.if you need to talk , talk to someone , me ,you , anyone.there is always a way out. thank you.

[gladstoned66]

This song is the best..

Het heeft me door een hele moeilijke tijd heen gesleept.

Thanks.

[mikeyg1959]

a true classic from the man who nurtured Pink Floyd at a critical time.

Atmospheric music at it's best

Mike

[zev007]

whats with all the static?

[dandanskuffy]

@zev007 yeah, whats with the statics?

[JamesTKirkCobain]

This guy invented te Alan Parsons project that Dr. Evil used to try and destroy the earth.

[Adastra14]

@JamesTKirkCobain

God that joke sucked in that film :P

[Reznald54]

A great song. It's amazing how music sums up where you are in life, and touches something inside.

[vitorro1970]

Genial el sonido del Organo.

[drs2542]

beautiful song.

[wiflfab78]

A mexican singer Mimi, made this song in spanish in 1991 (Finge que no) the song was good, but i really love the original version!

[juanricardog]

@wiflfab78 Me acabo de dar cuenta d'esto, siempre me gustó la canción de Mimi, JAJA quién iba a saber qu'era un cover. Es qu'en esos tiempos no se manejaba esa información y la globalización aun no alcanzaba para oír tanta música proveniente de otros países. Asi como la versión de Mimi hay muchos otros covers que tuvieron mucho éxito en México y Latinoamérica de canciones originales en Italiano, Francés e Inglés.

[arturouniversidad]

@juanricardog exactamente

[tim22ism]

red haired woman I cant be sadder or sorrier you cried!!!!!

[9diogenes]

the song is very good! is excelent!

I am from Argentina!

the music to alan parsons is the best!

I am play piano and 16 years old.....

bye!!

[parson8]

a te pierluigi che ti piaceva tanto .

[River12342]

amazing show in tel aviv

and see it live makes it all worth while

[gazellegilbert]

I am hurting to much i cannot stop thinking ..... my life has ben destroyed and i dont deserve this, i love alan parsons project !! but he's music reminds me of my love ,and i cannot LET IT GO

[dapoetmaster]

I have similiar feelings but as they say, 'no turning back' once it's done it's done...it's now & yesterday is just a memory. Live life the best U can & enjoy it.

[cricketplus]

sad song yes been in your position the pain goes away but it takes awhile you should be ok

[gazellegilbert]

@cricketplus I still think about him :(

[timmmahhhh]

AAAAAH...you cut off the best part of the song...AAAAHHH!!!!

[dennis345]

Pat Benatar did a good version of this song.

[boba8trck]

Yes, Pat's version is great! It was on her "In the Heat of the Night" album, which also had the song "Heartbreaker."

I just love APP! Pyramid is an awesome album, which has an amazing song called "The Eagle Will Rise Again." Check it out!

[zigon11]

I agree with this song. ._.

[jma1273]

LOL, I thought I was the only one who would skip the last part of this song XD

[skegbybloke]

Just brilliant. His songs are so moving the years do not fade their impact.

[WildWiseWays]

I 'll stay strong having all the reasons to be 1...Yet i wouldn't have been able if it wasn't for THE ONE...For SOMEONE !!!

I may have not said it but he sure knows that he's the one ...HE"S THE ONE !

[cricketplus]

a friend of mine has cancer we used to listen to this album all the time it makes me sad now but those were good times hope she recovers

[spacemonkey789]

That is a really sad thing to think about. Hope she pulls through. Continue listening it to it.

[dandanskuffy]

@cricketplus I hope that she recovers too. I knew someone who had cancer too and she died three years ago. She loved this song too.

[cricketplus]

@dandanskuffy sorry to hear that .Yes she is cancer free ,but can't talk and she loved to talk .Sory for yor friend

[dirkstorm]

@cricketplus Regarding your friend, may I offer this suggestion, look into sheep sorrel and essiac tea. They are very effective at fighting certain cancers. You can find them at many good herbal shops on the net such as mountain herbs, etc.

[tjrodgers2002]

@cricketplus I will say a prayer for her/him. We just lost a very close family friend to cancer. It's hard to deal with but you will always have the good memories you 2 shared no matter what the outcome. Blessings.

[jackjarell]

I think alot of people live by these lyrics,,I know I do at least. This is a very powerful song.

[mvl44]

een bijzonder nummer , moet ik altijd even van slikken.

[mikeyg1959]

absolute classic............haunting melody from AP.

listen to the lyrics and live the reality...............

[prosoloist]

SOUND IS POOR.... time to replace the audio. There are other versions on youtube with perfect audio and much better video. SORRY, time for this one to go...

[Gatorau]

Oh god memories are made of things like this.

[lifesavid]

A lot of good memories. I was in my early twenties when this came out. Now I have a daughter almost as old.

Where did the times go?

[sirjames45]

I Robot came out when I was about 14 and it was a bad time in my life, where I was surrounded by violence and ugliness. The songs on this album were showed me that there is love and goodness in the world, even though many things are bad. Every song on this album means a lot to me.

[adogcalledjonnyblaze]

me 2. good album...no doubt

[ladybug4evermore]

@sirjames45 - I agree with you, this music speaks to the soul's core. We do not have this quality of music in the present day. don't give in, let it go, the past and go forward w/ the best that you can be!!!

[dandanskuffy]

@sirjames45 It should mean a lot to you. Don't give in and don't give up

[cjeb2003]

@sirjames45 You and I share much in common with reflection on this. Thanks for your comments!

[alex30401]

if you are not able to apreciate this song please don't let it show.

[norwind]

a real lump in your throat song

[mikeyg1959]

A classic in every sense.

Truly emotional & difficult to listen to without taking you back in time to a better place perhaps.

Think on.........

mikeyG

[lakotabob]

Ever think this could be a message about how to handle the problems we face today? APP seems more a Diary of a Time Traveler, than just another band. What they wrote and their videos make more sense NOW than when it was orininally put out.

[martstan2066]

another perfect and intelligent song by APP, wellness for my heart n ears and my soul smiles

[Mell1888]

Singer is Dean ford of Marmalade from Glasgow  Scotland

[tracey185]

I remember listening to this 20 years ago thankyou to you for posting it times gone by are great sometimes brings back old memories

[muskokan59]

lol....it was over 30 years ago for me. What an incredible album that brings back many fond memories (eg.Sue Bell)

[8fab]

★★★★★

[nhammerh]

FUCK. 30 yrs gone by and this song still yanks my chain. Do we ever really grow up? She was beautiful...

[Adamus70]

Be happy, man. You are able to feel love.

If growing up means loosing the ability to love , I never want to grow up.

[FeistyMalinois]

I don't wanna "grow up". Do you?

[Surlejma]

Best music of all!! Thought I have theirs music on tape (old times, haha) but I have never heard this number!!! Thank SO much for sharing!! Sidsel Denmark, remind me,

[granskogssus]

A masterpiece....Just the fact that we still is listening and loving it! Thank you all you great people posting and sharing!

[medicvet]

this song is my heart's anthem.

[FeistyMalinois]

Me too. I love it

[helterskelter1178]

I ROBOT, A MASTERPIECE ALBUM.

[teet555]

SUPER SUPER  love this song

10********** great

[alwayswildatheart]

Brilliant- so much awesome music on both the I Robot and Pyramids albums

[shaneinkster]

at the begining it feels like being at church

[Webins]

One of APP's many many many masterpieces.

The theme sort of reminds me of Dionne Warwick's "Walk on By".

Thanks for posting.

[jesusjones2944]

Anybody else notice that the intro chord progression is the same as Pachelbel's Cannon? Or at least very similar.

[DeepestSleep]

The first four notes are definitely familiar.... Very much Cannon in D - you're right.

[bibabouille]

peux etre la plus belle mélodie d,app..on rentre en religion....!en sort t,on un jour? cette chanson ne denoterait pas dans une église !

[MrJzimmer268]

Just saw the last concert in Michigan, geat song, they did a great job!

[margofatema]

What a beautiful song, I love the lyrics and their meaning. Thanks for this beautiful song :)

[Aqualung1989]

this is not the whole song o_O

i posted the whole song, it's more than 4 minutes

[Aqualung1989]

anyway it's a beautiful song... and the final part, the one that is not here, is great also

[spiritos22]

Some people dont like the rock hiatus in the last 45 seconds of the song.

Your "more than 4 minutes" includes a long fade-out.

[Aqualung1989]

spiritos22, in that case you just have to stop the song. on the other hand, there may be some people who do like the last 45 seconds

[unter427x]

man,was waren das für geile zeiten !

[breecelee]

wonderful sung by Dave Townsend

[aguadevalencia123]

grandisima cancion de amor, te quiero alan

[DarkFlower73]

I just love this song, very very beautifull, thanks (º_º)

[allennnnnn91]

I have I robot, from my pops old records, I fell in love by far the greatest record ive heard!

[hoho24]

I love this song! Thanks for posting this!

[ReneeNme]

Okay I have teased myself with " I Robot " long enough ( 3 days now ) . I am going out to re~buy the CD tomorrow. Loaned it to my brother a year ago and getting anything back from him is like trying to pull your own damned teeth.

[Gam3sA10t]

xD What else are brothers for but to be completely irritating?

[ReneeNme]

True dat. lawl.

[jeroen79]

Is this song sarcastic?

[ReneeNme]

Actually I think the lyrics are more aimed towards music critics and the fans of Parsons. That was always my take anyway jeroen79. Look up the complete lyrics online and see what YOU think. After all, alot of times modern music lyrics are all about different individual's interpretations. No one interpretation is necessarily totally correct.

[pizykory]

lo masimo escuchar esta musica que me trnsforma aser lo que soy RAUL

ALAN ERES MI IDOLO

[LallyGagR]

One of my favorite songs from one of my all-time favorite records. I Robot brings back many fond memories. I still have it on vinyl.

[codern]

y doesnt isnt this classy song a classic?? why doesnt it have full star rating?? like wtf?? this is music and when music was at its peak in history!

[gdrbs427]

even the scratches are cool. Thanx for posting.

[Gam3sA10t]

aha. Awesome.

[bds1167]

Gorgeousness and gorgeousity..... I Robot is unreal.......

[jpb270149]

Goosepimples!

[blevedved350]

The human voice and spirit are truly awe inspiring. I love this song.

[rosesredvioletsblue]

Full of so much passion.....

beautiful song.

thank you!

[ktthegoalie]

jUST ABSOLUTELY SUBLIME..........

Just a wonderful ballad from the Greatest...
