Alan Parsons Project 中文名亚伦派森实验乐团,来自英格兰,活跃于上个世纪七八十年代,Alan Parsons是乐团的绝对灵魂,由他主导专辑的作品编写与录制,演唱部分则固定邀请几位歌手轮流担纲。
Alan Parsons进军歌坛前曾担任The Beatles《Abby Road》专辑的录音师,也曾为The Hollies制作过五张专辑。。。他为Pink Floyd的经典专辑《Dark side of the moon》担任所有的录音工程,其呈现出的逼真音效,震惊了世界乐坛。。。

后来由于这张专辑的成功,1976年他也组建了自己的前卫摇滚乐队Alan Parsons Project。1982年的他们的专集《Eye in the Sky》获得巨大成功,挤入TOP 10并取得白金销量。。。。。。当然提到他们,不可不提他们1976年的专辑《Tales of Mystery and Imagination》,那是经典收藏品!
Alan Parsons Project,有点难被归类。说它是摇滚乐,,节奏并不突出,音乐流畅得很。说它是流行乐, 又有类似turn of a friendly card 这种实验性质强烈的作品。且作品历久不衰,符合经典的定义。说它是前卫音乐,又没那么抽象难以接受。无法定义,且不去伤脑筋了。

As far as my eyes can see..
在我的视线所及
There are shadows approaching me..
阴影不断向我逼近
And to those I left behind
覆盖了我遗留的痕迹
I wanted you to know
我曾要你知道
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
你一直分享着我最深的思绪
You follow where I go
你跟随着我的足迹
And oh,
Oh
When I'm old and wise
智者老矣
Bitter words mean little to me
残酷的言语对我已毫无意义
Autumn winds will blow right through me
秋风将会吹透我的身体
And someday
某一天
In the mist of time
在这时间的雾翳
When they asked me if I knew you
当他们问我是否认识你
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
我会微笑着诉说我们曾经的友谊
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
眼中已消散了悲凄
Oh when I'm old and wise
Oh 智者老矣
As far as my eyes can see..
在我的视线所及
There are shadows surrounding me..
阴影在我四周密无缝隙
And to those I leave behind
覆盖我遗留的痕迹
I want you all to know
我要你知道
You've always shared my darkest hours
你一直分享着我最阴暗的记忆
I'll miss you when I go
我会思念你,当我离去
And oh,
Oh
When I'm old and wise
智者老矣
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
沉重的话语折磨我的心绪
Like autumn winds will blow right through me

And someday,
某一天
In the mists of time
在这时间的雾翳
When they ask you if you knew me
当他们问你是否认识我
Remember that you were a friend of mine
不要忘记我们曾经的友谊
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
当最后的幕布垂落我的眼底
Oh when I'm old and wise
Oh 智者老矣
As far as my eyes can see...
