I once has my CD player stolen and the Schmilsson disk was the one loaded in it at that time.
Was a two fold bummer.

Alan Parsons Project
Eye in the Sky
---
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
As for the song's meaning, there are several theories. One is that the idea of an "eye in the sky" is borrowed from the George Orwell book 1984. However, aside from the song's title, there's seemingly little else in the song to support that theory. The lyrics instead describe the bitterness following the end of a relationship.
In one interview, Parsons said the song's title came from its vocalist and co-writer Eric Woolfson, who spent a lot of time in Las Vegas about that time.
"He had a certain fascination with the hidden cameras that were there watching the tables, taping the games and what have you," Parsons told the interviewer. "It was more than just the hidden cameras. It was also kind of 1984 syndrome. It covers the fact we can never be left to our own devices; we will always be watched."

“Eye in the Sky” focuses on Surveillance
The theory that it is based on the writer’s experiences in casinos is also very plausible. And generally speaking the implication is that if nothing else the casino, or whoever it is that is doing the surveillance here, is more dishonest than the person(s) it is tasked with overseeing.

“Eye in the Sky” is a great concept for a song. Alan Parsons has a revelation, and all of the sudden he sees through all the BS that his lover has been peddling to him. Everything in his life becomes clear. He looks at her differently now. It almost feels like a God-like power. He now has the Eye in the Sky to see the truth. Where was it all these years?

My paranoia tell me that AI can monitor brain waves. We are both never lost, and never found.
