[JJoeyy123]

i made the duck blue cause iv always wanted to see a blue duck :D

[ziggeman]

Gives me the chills everytime I listen to and watch this clip....stops...and walks by...life goes on :) thank you for posting mate:)

[themystic10]

I need help here. I don't get it, he pledge for the phone to be answered, and when it happened he ask for more ringing time. Why? What's the real meaning of the song? It's like he's missing her but he's happy in his loneliness. Is that so?

[RockAndFunk]

@themystic10

She doesn't pick up the telephone, he's thinking about what he would tell her if she did.

[mom6446]

@themystic10 Listen a little harder, a little longer.

[mom6446]

@themystic10 Refer to 10 cc "I'm not in love". I hope this helps.

Great video and song!

[Luchris12777]

[RockAndFunk]

@Luchris12777

[shattered0717]

NICE-THANKS

[drewsky684]

horse+ocean+elo=awesome

[AnnAAngel1564]

D ring Dring, D.

[GreenEyedAngelFL]

Thank you ever so much - I had so forgotten this song. Loved it back then and it still brings the same feelings. ELO has been greatly underrated as time has gone forward, but they had some fantastic music!

[Ausdudette]

This brings back such memories.......... thank you so much for uploading.

[Oregon696969]

Probably the worst song of the 20th century. Makes me want to vomit everytime I hear. If these guys are even still alive, they should be jailed for making such miserable crap.

[RockAndFunk]

@Oregon696969

F yourself

[YTazzkickr01]

Beautiful song and great video. Thank you for the upload.

I have to admit -with shame- that I've never heard of this band until Billy Madison's scene...

[RockAndFunk]

@YTazzkickr01

You're welcome, and thank you.  That's ok, it's a great scene.

[sutemohpab]

You have to love this one. If you don't, you have no soul.

[RockAndFunk]

@sutemohpab

Fully agree.

[ZackMyslinski]

Haunting..

[anshelm222]

qué video!

[NeedTime222]

One of my very favorites ! Thanks for posting ! LOVE :)

[RockAndFunk]

@NeedTime222

Thank you for your comment :)

[PowersProductions13]

one of the best songs ever...fantastic video as well...made me emotional haha

[RockAndFunk]

@PowersProductions13

Glad it made you emotional :)

[gtavicecityfan02]

i look into the skies at night while i listen to this song it should be illegal ti hate elo im 14 and i love old music

[AnAngelOfMercy]

Super video. :-)

[RockAndFunk]

@AnAngelOfMercy

Thank you :)

[AnAngelOfMercy]

@RockAndFunk Once upon a time I had this single as a 45-vinyl record that was bright green in color. No kidding. lol My favorite from ELO.

[dynagravitomagnetic]

keep on praying day and night through blistering desert and freezing ice, arctic snow, steaming jungle and across vast oceans all alone without bare essentials, sleepless and toiling endlessly entreating, sacrificing, and invoking names of god and heaven. Slowly starve and perish alone, and then go to burning hell. Hot cinder and ash for all eternity. What a beee-yoo-tee-fool song.

(That IS what life feels like...sometimes.)

[robby1880z]

This is from the movie Billy Madison :D

[Doppelgangerg]

@robby1880z hahaha yeah! excellent scene!

[Spectre5095]

I wonder who that one dumb ass is who disliked this video. He must be some retarded drunk and high idiot.

[RockAndFunk]

@Spectre5095

lol :D

[paulc4567]

@Spectre5095 Maybe they just thought the song and the video have nothing to do with each other and wasn't pleased. I mean, how many horses on the beach make phone calls to their lovers? I like both the video and the song, but find it all rather silly to use this type of video with a song that has nothing to do with the beauty of wildlife. BUT, I was looking for the song to listen to in at least a 360p format, so I gave it a thumbs up.

[RockAndFunk]

@paulc4567

most official music videos have nothing to do with the songs. personally i make vids based on the mood of the song. musically, and lyrically this song is beautiful, romantic, and sad, which is what the vid conveys. i used the beauty of nature (not specifically wildlife). anyway, thanks for the thumbs up.

[Ninevah77]

'I just can't believe/that i've faded out of you.' Right up there, in my opinion, with 'Where do i put my memories?' from 'Carmen Jones'. OK, neither is John Donne,but, hey, gets me.

[MsGrammarnazi]

Cool video

[RockAndFunk]

@MsGrammarnazi

Thank you.

[TheIrvdaperv]

i cried :I thank you and i dont mean it sarcasticly reallly thank you like i needed it i needed to let my emotions run

[RockAndFunk]

@TheIrvdaperv

No problem, let it out :)

[einnocjoe1]

Really beautiful. Thank you

[RockAndFunk]

@einnocjoe1

You're welcome, thank you for watching.

[orcasun16]

Fantastic! Well done!

[RockAndFunk]

@orcasun16

Thanks so much :)

[100yearsofboxing]

PAUL MCCARTNEY RIP OFF

[RockAndFunk]

@100yearsofboxing

Considering Jeff Lynne is a musical genius, who loves The Beatles, is a personal friend of theirs, and this sounds nothing like Paul, how exactly is this a rip-off?

[kcjorock]

nice capture of a wave of distance....pick up the telephone ! im living in twilite.....okay let it ring a little longer......telephone line ! I AM living in twilite ! SWEET VIDEO !

[RockAndFunk]

@kcjorock

Thank you very much.

[TheKanaraja]

"...I'd tell you everything if you'd pick up that telephone" Good song here. One that I have posted many times for my buddies!! Nice vid here.

And just for the record...I just love what you did with 10cc's "I'm not in Love".

[RockAndFunk]

@TheKanaraja

Aw, thanks so much :)

[AMD3FAN]

a new world record great album, also Eldorado.

[amimillie]

Class is permanent - A New Word Record is required listening. Great.

[Pentalpha5]

Used to have this album, got lost along the way, with so many things. Good to hear this track again:) nice tubes' in the excellent vid !

[RockAndFunk]

@Pentalpha5

Thanks for noticing the tubes ;)

[roosevelthighschool]

Heard this song on "Billy Madison" with Adam Sandler.

[crockettcoulter]

It is such a thrill to listen to a song that makes me feel something. I have been a music lover since I was capable of thought. The music from the 70's was special. It is wonderful to find or remember a song that gives me back that feeling. It is so hard to come by now.

[RockAndFunk]

@crockettcoulter

I think it's not just music, but society that has changed :(

[crockettcoulter]

@RockAndFunk You are probably correct in your statement. It is unfortunate for those of us who find it hard to appreciate certain changes. We may soon go the way of dinosaurs.

[philliptjr1]

I don't know what is better, the video or the song. Thanks for the upload.

[RockAndFunk]

@philliptjr1

Such a nice comment, thank you :)

[aserosero12]

Buenisimo!!!me encanta ELO!!!

[RockAndFunk]

@aserosero12

Gracias ;)

[amandalmeyer]

I will never forge the first time I heard this song. Had the stereo playing and woke up at about 2AM and was mesmerized by this song. Was about 14 at the time and still love it as much as I did then. Thank you so much for such an awesome song. A

[Antoine241996]

Very good song

[StayingBack71]

if someone today said "Ok..So no-ones answering..Can you just let it ring a little longer"

It would put the biggest smile on my face......I would just pause for a moment and relish the fact that patience and unselfishness were present.

[rejectedreject]

@StayingBack71 I completely agree. Steve is my all time favorite actor. I love his every role, especially in Ghost World.

[SystemJammer]

A melody line from this song reminds me of John Lennon's HOW?

[RockAndFunk]

@SystemJammer

Interesting. HOW? :)

[SystemJammer]

@RockAndFunk It's from the IMAGINE album ... you can listen to it and let me know if you also hear it.

[aidancairns]

I was 12 when this was released, I grew up quickly that year, mum passed away that year 12th Dec 1976

[RockAndFunk]

@aidancairns

I'm sorry :(

[melocotoso]

la lleva este tema

[exactimages]

This is an outstanding vid!!!! You did a fantastic job on this, love, love it!!!!! Stunningly beautiful!!!!

[RockAndFunk]

@exactimages

Thank you so much :)

[rejectedreject]

I can't help but think of Steve Buscemi putting on some red lipstick while listening to this song.

[StayingBack71]

@rejectedreject Funny you say that.....Steve Buscemi..Arguably the most underrated actor today. Adam Sandler became a solid close friend of Stever's many many years ago........

[ziggeman]

I wish this video were HD...not complaning tho..Think its among the most beautyful combination of music and footage Ive seen..Great! :)

[RockAndFunk]

@ziggeman

I wish it was in HD too, but I could only convert it from its current form to HD, and then re-upload, and that means I would lose all your nice comments, etc. Thank you for the great compliment :)

[ziggeman]

@RockAndFunk Sad to say I cant watch it anymore, because Sony have blocked it in my country ..fck:(..well...

[ziggeman]

Svara på det här videoklippet... cant watch it nomore because of so nys entertainment ....bad luck ehh...grr

[einnocjoe1]

[Shambalaism]

@RockAndFunk "Hello..how are you..have you been alright.. through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights, is what I'd say."

A beautiful song from a great band :)

[RockAndFunk]

@caribind3

Don't you realize the things we did, we did, were all for real, not a dream?
