In this song, Alan Parsons adopts Egyptian mythology and imagines a conversation between a man who is at the point of death and the boatman who has been charged with taking his soul across the river of death.

A cute, funny song. “My Maserati does 185. I lost my license now I don’t drive.” Also in this version notice the slight comical change in the line: “I making records my fans they can’t wait. They write me letters tell me Glen’s great.” Well the first version of this song I got from Youtube

When I turned 21 my lovely Seaforth Fellowship friends bought me a CD player: a cutting edge piece of tech all those years ago. They also bought me my first CD to go in it which was Peter Gabriel’s album “So”. I still have the CD in my collection and this beautiful duet between Kate

I guess this song captures the dying phases of a romantic relationship. A common condition of our fallen humanity. Very arty video
