wow! didn't know they / he was still around producing music. Your post led me to this one which is really amazing sound -- guitar is great on this one: ALAN PARSONS - "ONE NOTE SYMPHONY" - FEAT. THE ISRAEL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA - LIVE FROM TEL AVIV - YouTube[^] Cannot believe the symphony behind him on this one. Wow!!

Haha, I am just about stuck in a loop on YouTube now, because after that video played the following one auto-started & I could not turn it off. You just can't stop that song. It's so compelling. Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing - YouTube[^]

thanks for asking. It does seem to be resolved. I play music from my iphone all day long (via spotify or pandora). Even though neither of those apps is on my watch, the watch would obtain the current playing song info and display it when my watch became active. I had to find the setting to turn that off and I found this article: How To Turn Off Apple Watch Now Playing Music Controls - iOS Hacker[^] However, that is for an older apple watch, but I was able to get it turned off on mine. The battery lasts about 2 days now. Thanks,

Awesome thanks for the link. Had the incredible luck to see them in concert several years ago, they were everything I expected and more. I've been a huge fan of there's for more years than I care to admit. Favorite album: Pyramid

Quite a prolific guy. I have the first two or three albums, so it was interesting to hear this. The write-up said prog, symphonic, and rock. I'm a prog fan but didn't hear much serious prog in this. The title puzzled me, but the Largo cover finally showed up on the second last track. And then concluded with a great cover of Be My Baby, which also fits the title.

For a blast from his past, check out : Alan live in Madrid from 2004[^]. It is a really good show.

I liked this one the best: You Are The Light[^] :) Edit: 20 minutes later, the lyrics of Goin' Home[^] touched me. I am looking forward to 'going home'. :) Edit 2: I've got it on repeat for the hour, love it, goes great with red wine mood. Edit3 i hate google ads Edit 4: Goin Home has captured my heart. I found the lyric sheet.

Goin' home, goin' home
I'm just goin' home
Quiet like, some still day
I'm just goin' home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Goin' to fear no more
Mother's there specting me
Father's waiting too
Lots of folk gathered there
All the friends I knew
All the friends I knew
Nothing lost, all's gain
No more fret nor pain
No more stumbling on the way
No more longing for the day
Goin' to roam no more
(insert paragraph break here)
Morning star lights the way
Restless dream all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life just begun (delete paragraph break)
There's no break, there's no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile
Goin' on and on
Goin' home, goin' home
I'm just goin' home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Through an open door
I'm just goin' home

I am looking forward to going home. I am not afraid, I am ready. :) Here's the song with lyrics, I think it's beautiful words[^].

Finally had a chance to finish my first listening. Going back for seconds!!! Fantastic show! Since no one has mentioned it, one of my all-time favorite AP tracks, even better than their new stuff: [Alan Parsons Project - Lucifer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9e9tp3\_PE8)
