ive heard this song more and more latly. radio an what not. now this may be compleltly mental.. but ive noticed suttle things with other things. if you read the lyrics.. could it be pointin to a 'showdown'..on the 'longest night' (december 21st) ..'looks like were riding on the same train' ..'love thats sure to end' 'theres gonna be a show down' . ha. paranoia..
She cried to the southern wind About a love that was sure to end Every dream in her heart was gone Headin' for a Showdown Bad dreamer, what's your name Looks like we're ridin' on the same train Looks as through there'll be more pain There's gonna be a Showdown And it's rainin' all over the world It's raining all over the world Tonight, the longest night
Been listening to ELO for nearly 40 years now... Jeff Lynne you are just the most amazing artist, even with the Wilburys, what about one of the most amazing collecion of musicians for that gig!! Thinking now... Have loved Pink Floyd as long... What about Jeff Lynn and Dave Gilmour get together for something for us to really remember??
@AmurPatel Grow up and stop using your ignorant slurs that don't really offend anyone but yourself. Scum. You should be thrown off a rocky and plummet towards the rocky shore.
The points where the backup singers crash in dulls this otherwise well-produced, expertly written song. The lead singer alone was the only voice this tune required. If the original master tracks still exist, and were recorded with adequate separation (between lead & backups), I would very much like to hear this song WITHOUT the backup singers.
@Johnnyradionic seriously? are you a music producer or something? All your little "observations" which strike me as an attempt on your part to make people think you know what you're talking about really just make you look like a prissy know-it-all twat
Once again you've revealed yourself in such a way as to embarrass both yourself and your family. If you ever develop debating skills, (or a creative mindset, wherein you're not instantly pleased with anything placed before you), we might have a view at your comments. In the meantime, continue to write your acid-tongued letters to movie critics on TV - the ones who don't yet have a restraining order against you.
@neatoauctions what in gods name are you babbling about have we met before? when did I write letters to movie critics? what the hell is wrong with you....
This band was the bomb in displaying true musical skill, style, and class. A built in rock orchestra complete with a variety of strings, harps, etc. What i call musical talent at its finest.
Yes this song was in Farrelly brothers film Kingpin but it was also in their film Outside Providence thumbs up if you have seen that hilarious film to encourage those who have not seen it to watch it!!
im 20 yrs old i love this song one of my favs i will always forever love E.L.O. thanx to my mom for having such great taste in music and many other good oldies even when E.L.O. passes on we will never forget and will still luv u keep on doin what u do best E.L.O. you rock
First of all im 18, second of all the apostrophe wasn't meant to be there so like i said, go troll someone else. I have no time for your useless comments.
@Feedit2020 - just imagine two Cowboys in an old Cowboy movie facing each other in a dirt street outside of a Saloon waiting to see who will draw first and the fastest. A way to settle differences/arguments in the old west.
But this time... in this song... it's a showdown between two lovers.
Heard this on the radio while riden with my metal group. They immediatly wanted to change to something else but I kept this song in mind and looked it up. Was glad I did.
its great that kids learn about this timeless classics from video games soundtracks or any other modern kind of entertainment ... but the important fact is that they learn to hear real music ! ... like this ELO song !
I wish this one could've made their greatest hits album, I would want it to bump "Turn to Stone" if i could, not saying that Turn to Stone isn't a good song but I really like this one more.
It's the same song ,only on skate 2 they remix the song, but elo is one of the best bands ever! Take it from me, I'm A 13 yearold drummer in a band, the beat is amazing
i didnt think this was E.L.O...i thought it wus Traffic lol but the first time i heard this was on the classic rock station and they never say who sing songs so you'll never kno who's singing which suck but i fell in love with this song
@YousickToo The version in Skate 2 is from another recording session. It's essentially the same song, but has minor differences in the way the instruments and vocals sound.
ive heard this song more and more latly. radio an what not. now this may be compleltly mental.. but ive noticed suttle things with other things. if you read the lyrics.. could it be pointin to a 'showdown'..on the 'longest night' (december 21st) ..'looks like were riding on the same train' ..'love thats sure to end' 'theres gonna be a show down' . ha. paranoia..
