It reminds me of when I got transported into the future. And just wanted to get back to my woman. Well here I am. And the future sucks. The past was much better
i can remember my disappointement when this album came out i expected elo but this was so different from what they had previously done i played it over and over and tried to like it but like most albums back then if you got two you really liked you were lucky mostly filll bs to get the record out its cool now to listen to music i wanted to love so much mostly because i spent the money to buy it now i love it because it was good i just didnt appreciate it and now i can
@dubb1995 Everything about ELO was ahead of their time....truly one of if not the greates bands of all times....the only one that might edge them out is the Beatles but it would be close! I am a huge Beatles/ELO fan if you couldn't tell.....actually it has been said by a lot of people that if the Beatles had stayed together into the 70s and beyond they would have sounded like this....ELO was a continuation of the Beatles in my opinion!
@eightiesguy62 mmm i think that jeff as a musician and the music he produced is far superior in many ways than that of the beatles. and had a better voice than any of them.
@mrbarleymob I can't argue with you..Jeff Lynne is a genuis as far as I'm concerned! He was way ahead of his time as far as the music he wrote and he does have a tremendous voice..it just blends in with all his music..had he been one of the Beatles there is no telling what kind of legacy they would have left considering the accomplishments they made without him..with him it would have been ridiculous how great they would have been! He deserves to be in the rock and roll hall of fame for sure!
@eightiesguy62 yes deserved to be...but given the crap that has been inducted in the last 15 years or so...i wouldnt think jeff is that bothered anymore.
I am convinced ELO is from the future and they warped back to the 80's just to make this song and show they're from a galaxy and a future far, far away.
@invasionbrand Jeff wrote much and/or collaborated on most of the Beatles stuff :) Traveling Wilbury's were fun, but I didn't care much for Lynne's solo stuff. They were definitely a catalyst in my life :)
the guy reading the news in the background is my father...we lived in Germany and he was the D.J. for american radio and they paid him to do this...I was just a little kid and thought he was a rock and roll star after that...lol
Incredible use of synthesizer/beat box instruments. The Electric Light Orchestra was such an outstanding band. Jeff Lynne is a musical genius! There are few musical writers, composers, and arrangers like Jeff Lynne. ELO is one of my all time favorite bands.
This song brought tears to my eyes. Reminds me of the first time i heard it in my family's car on our way to the beach back in 1998. Time may fly, but songs like this will remain forever! ROCK ON!
ELO fans: I am trying to get ELO elected into the rock an roll Hall of Fame. e-mail me at horsey1@new.rr.com. I will forward your signatures to the rock and roll hall of fame. ELO deserves to be in it don't you think so?
Timeless song: it reminds me of sundayevening in the 70 ties and 80 ties: broadcasttime of one of the most progressive broadcaststations of the Netherlands, the VPRO. They used ,and still they do, the intro of this song to begin the tv-evening.
The beginning of the song is also used in Discovery Channel Body Atlas VHS films. We get to watch the clips every time we take a new chapter. I can't keep a straight face whenever i hear the song.
This is ELO in the 1980s alright, nice. All I can say is that this band is so great that it's hard to say which is really the best song, for me I like this a alot. If I had to compare this with another good song from them, Secret Messages would probably be good too.
All ELO songs are great. Its hard to say which one is the best. I like all their songs, but if i've got to pick a gropu, i'll pick this, Last Train To London, Shine a Little Love, Livin' Thing, So Fine, Your Truly, Mr Blue Sky, Turn To stone, Confusion, Roll Over Beethoven, Telephone Line and Rockaria.
this song should be in gta vice city...all this album should be in vice city emotion fm radio
