"Don't Answer Me" by The Alan Parsons Project

Does anyone else remember this song?

It was talked about on YL back in the day. I've always liked this song and the video was pretty cool too. If memory serves, it was an animated video? I wish they played it more often.


Don't Answer Me

Alan Parson's Project

If you believe in the power of magic,
I can change your mind
And if you need to believe in someone,
Turn and look behind
When we were living in a dream world,
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in a moment of madness
And threw it all away
Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in
Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?
If you believe in the power of magic,
It's all a fantasy
So if you need to believe in someone,
Just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
I can't set you free
So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?
Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in
Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

I always liked this one. It has a different kind of sound. I also liked the video.

Sure do - I've always liked it. Their songs are great, but mostly forgotten on radio stations today, it seems.

Actually, though, I just saw the video to this song for the first time yesterday (Thursday) on VH-1 Classic! It's really interesting, and well done.

[SAT-I need more room!!]

Not my fave by them, but an ok tune. Just listened to it last week when I was listening to their 2 disc anthology!

Yes, the video was animated, done as a comic book coming to life! Hopefully VH-1 Classic will play it soon!

[Laura--I wuv u all :)]

Great song! Cute video!

Great tune--I do remember the video from somewhere--quite interesting! Very Spector-esque in production.
