1. If I Could Change Your Mind

is one of my favorite Parson's songs. Along with 'Eye in the Sky' it is one of 4 Parson's songs I have ripped from my cd's to mp3. 'If I Could Change Your Mind' was from the album Eve. I think the female singing voice on it is kind of haunting.

8. I doubt it. I bet you're thinkin of "Eye of the Tiger" or something

"Eye in the Sky" is a very melodic song. Wouldn't really serve to hype up the crowd during player intros.

10. That song is "Sirius"

Which is the instrumental intro to "Eye in the Sky" on the album.

7. I have a funny story about that song

Once my sister and I were sitting in the back seat of the car, on a car trip. We were kids, and we were cutting up and so on. My mother leaned over the seat with "You kids cut that out or..." and the two of us were just cracking up laughing. Well, one of Mom's boobs had fallen out of her shirt, and was just staring at us with a big ol' nip right as the chorus came on the radio...

"I am the eye in the sky, looking at yooooouuu..."

15. Jonatha Brooke did a cool acoustic version on her latest album

Sort of gave the song a whole new meaning.

17. It's a great album

But "When I Am Old And Wise" is a better song. The all-time great friendship song.

At least for me. A friend calligraphied it for me on parchment and gave it to me as a gift.

Khash.
