the voice

Tema inicial de la cara B del disco "I Robot" de The Alan Parsons Project, palabras mayores. Publicado en 1977,"I Robot" se trata de un disco conceptual basado en los relatos cortos de Isaac Asimov, "I Robot". Para su composición Alan Parsons utilizó el innovador, por aquellos tiempos, sintetizador Moog obteniendo sonidos inspirados y novedosos.

"The Voice" abre la cara B de este disco, en la que además se utiliza un vocoder (codificador de voz), cacharrito igualmente innovador. Se trata de un medio tiempo, con una parte central más acelerada para volver en el tramo final al medio tiempo. Alan Parsons, como en el disco entero, hace gala de sus habilidades de ingeniero de sonido, y cuya voz la pone Steve Harley.






It's almost a feeling you can touch in the air
You look all around you but nobody's there
It's been a long time now since you've been aware
That someone is watching you
(He's gonna get you)

Sooner or later when your big chances come
You'll look for the catches but there'll be none
Remember before you grab the money and run
That someone is watching you
(He's gonna get you)

Before you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice
'Cause you can't escape the voice

Jumping at shadows that come up from behind
Scared of the darkness that's there in your mind
You're frightened to move because of what you might find
Someone is watching you
(He's gonna get you)

Before you run and hide
He's gonna get you
You got no choice
'Cause you can't escape the voice
