The Secret (Alan Parsons album)

The Secret is the fifth solo album by English rock musician Alan Parsons. It was released on 26 April 2019 via Frontiers. Guest appearances include guitarist Steve Hackett on the first track, Jason Mraz singing on "Miracle", and Lou Gramm singing on "Sometimes".

The roots of the song "I Can't Get There From Here" go back to the year 2002, when Alan Parsons was asked to do the music for the film "5-25-77" by Patrick Read Johnson. Despite Parsons' assertion in 2005 that the film would soon be finished, it took over ten years more until it was finally premiered.
