"Eye in the Sky" is a 1982 song by the Alan Parsons Project. Possibly the most successful song the group has ever had, it reached number 3 on the U.S. Billboard charts. However, it did not fare very well in the UK.

The song is in part a reference to George Orwell\'s classic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, regarding a possible future in which individual privacy is virtually non-existent due to the ever-watching eye of Big Brother. In the novel, citizens are constantly monitored by satellites and hidden video recording equipment. Findarticles.com - Alan Parsons Project\'s \'Eye in the Sky\' re-released. See Paragraph 7 Alan Parsons: If You Believe In The Power Of Magic - From the Official Website, The Alan Parsons Music. See Paragraph 27

It has also been noted by Eric Woolfson, the songwriter and vocalist of this song, spent a lot of time in casinos and in commercial districts, fascinated by the hidden security cameras that monitor gamblers and shoppers, hence the theme of the song. See "Eye in the Sky".

The 1:54 minute instrumental piece entitled Sirius immediately precedes Eye in the Sky on the original recording, which then seamlessly leads into Eye in the Sky as a second track. However, most radio stations choose to play Eye in the Sky alone, due to time constraints.
