Alan Parsons Project, The - A Recurring Dream Within A Dream Lyrics






[A composite of two works - "A Dream Within A Dream" and "The Raven"]

The Clock Struck Midnight
And Through My Sleeping
I Heard A Tapping At My Door
I Looked But Nothing Lay In The Darkness
And So I Turned Inside Once More

To My Amazement
There Stood A Raven
Whose Shadow Hung Above My Door
Then Through The Silence
It Spoke The One Word
That I Shall Hear For Evermore

Quoth The Raven, Nevermore
Thus Quoth The Raven
Nevermore

And Still The Raven
Remains In My Room
No Matter How Much I Implore
No Words Can Soothe Him
No Prayer Remove Him
And I Must Hear For Evermore

Quoth The Raven, Nevermore
Thus Quoth The Raven
Nevermore

    Hmmmm... OK, it's not bad, it's even pleasant, but definitely superfluous and disposable, without the greatness, the nobility and the shockwave vibes the original version still causes in me so many years later. This version reminded me very much of Mike Oldfield's similar electronic revisits of his own work, at a time he was partying way too much in Ibiza's raves (something even he admits now). It's as if they were saying "ohh, I'm so ashamed I made 'Tales' and 'Pyramid' and 'I Robot' (or 'Tubular Bells', 'Ommadawn' and 'Hergest Ridge'), that's so old, passé and boring, but listen, now I've seen the light and I can do that the 'right' way..." As if people didn't dance back in the 1970s as well (to awesome dance music, btw) and, conversely, as if there weren't people who like more introspective and elaborate music in the 21st century either (ask the metal folks, who have no qualms mixing prog influences to their work in many sub-styles; plus, I don't like Enya's pseudo-New Age kitsch, but ask her if she's poor because her records don't sell as they're not dance music...). The musical scene (and market, and media) was more diverse and inclusive back in the 1970s, with something for every occasion and taste, but artists like Alan Parsons don't *need* to fit in or to please anyone. Hey, if he had died the day after he finished mixing "The Dark Side of the Moon", he'd be a legend already!

    G.... F....

    I don't think they are trying to please anyone except from themselves. I love this version almost as much as I love the original work. I find them very different, and for different kind of conscious perception. I don't think there's nothing bad in experimenting with electronics and with your previous works.

    I am sure that Orson Wells would have approved, heartily, as well as Poe, a snickering but envious Vincent Price (not quire recovered from the loss of Michael Jackson, and surely, absolutely and forever, the Raven himself.
    Keep em coming , alan.
    Thank you,TEERD
