Earth, Wind, and Fire - We're Living in Our Own Time

[angieinjun]

This is one of the best songs Earth, Wind & Fire has ever done.....Phillip Bailey you are amazing!

[tonifatron]

really don't have a favorite song by the elements since i love them all!!!!! i be just kidding myself when i try and pick one. besides this is my favorite all time group. i have'nt heard a song from them that i don't like!!!!!

[Divineembrace1]

Wowwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!

[zanthus7]

I can't believe I can't find this on iTunes.

[danimal51]

@zanthus7 me either....this song used to bring me to tears and still does

[brownie76qq309]

Also one of my all time favorite songs surprisingly not one that is widely known or recognized

[DIMENSIONSCOACH2012]

My favourite song of all time!

[freein2339]

This is a great cut...sadly the album was not well received and this tune as well as "Could it be right" was overlooked....

[M14autoassault]

E,W,& F.......The baddest band of all time!

Maurice White - the master mind!

Phillip Bailey - voice of pure harmony!

Add the rest of the crew with these two and you got the Elements of the Universe of Music.

[SouhernNightingGale]

@M14autoassault AMEN! Couldn't have said better, as this band/group is the ULTIMATE/EPITOME of REAL music and the other so called stuff pales in comparison and simply live in the shadow of great music such as this!

[trezlorenz]

Simply a beautiful song!

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

N.B. : no offense, but I prefer the other one that is posted; cause I gotta like that album cover of the "Electric Universe" going with the song... I still spend minutes looking at that album cover so much that it fascinates me ... it's like real, luminous neons there are on it ! Yeah, the "Electric Universe" album cover is a good one, for the technology of the time (but what I like even more is the inside picture)

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

I like that thing that Roland Bautista often used to do with his electric guitar, you know : playing one not and sliding fast your hand from top to the bottom of the guitar, it gives like an ..."aerial" effect or something... it has a name, I guess ... anyone ??! (he does it around the beginning or middle of the song; and then again to very last note of the song, just after Philip Bailey sings his last words, and after Larry Dunn plays two notes on his keyboards;...in the very last seconds...)

[danwandemarkco33]

i can never find this song on lime wire. this is to me the best e. w.f love song

[13ewf]

Yeah takes me back to '83

[archshy]

fantastic track i had never heard b4 tyvm

[SuperCodm]

Now this one brangs me back

[moonabes]

IN all the years, I've never heard this one by them. Nonetheless, a beautiful song. Philip Bailey, what can I say. shhh listen to him sing.

[casanova524]

EW&F is one of my musical influences! This song is one of my favorites, but not as popular as some of the others...it still touch's me after all these years!

Great jam!!!

[GovernerGeneral]

they just don't do it like this anymore!! Usher sit down, listen, and learn!!

[redsbrown2000]

this song will take u2 another place!!!!, all of yur life u have been told love is the answer, well here is the words of love, damm!!!, thank-u earth, wnd, and fire!!

[moonabes]

GOD BLESSED PHILIP BAILEYS VOCAL CHORDS. Another song I heard for the time.

[SouhernNightingGale]

@moonabes Isn't Bailey talented though! He and Maurice White are trully the elements of EW&F which bought the sound together as a band/group and why this group will forever be CLASSIC and PHENOMINAL and no other group will NEVER touch them because they were so ahead of their time! When you can play music like theirs in this day and age and it still connects and/or relates to modern day, that's TIMELESS which decribes EW&F to a "T!"

[SuperCodm]

@SouhernNightingGale You are so right.

[ArtVandelay1983]

Great first dance song.

[1010503]

There's no way anyone could forget this classic. Like another blogger, I have it on cassette....my favorite song by EWF....living in my own time...those college days with my Deltas and our Omega Psi Phi brothers. Thank you for posting this...definitely not ever forgotten.

[SuperXavier30]

This is still my lonesome midnight stroll song...,try it!..honestly works wonders!

[2009Denisem]

UNTOUCHABLE EWF!! The Best of the Best!

Thanks @laketahoeron for sharing

Thanks GrandMasterGuess for posting this gem!

[sancho3124]

The elements were soooo awesome. I've never heard this song, and it's funny because I thought that I've heard all their songs. This is truly a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing.

[trk327]

this TAPE!! yes i sad TAPE is still in my car, i dont think it ever made it to CD, if you have it you have a classic.

[tthomaselli2]

@trk327

I just recently went dumpster-diving & found a whole shit-load of CD's & cassettes behind a record shop that just went out of business & while looking through the 'Cassettes' box, I found this sound-track & it's still in perfect condition.: :)

[LarissaToti]

Thank you for posting this! You just made my day! I was really looking for the instrumental version. Long ago I had the LP from the film (if you know what that is...) and I never forgot this music. It's a shame we can't hear it here. But thank you very much for trying!

[cilydaniel]

Beautiful Song, I would like to send this Song to 2 souls that brought this song to KILY and DILY. To Uncle Manny And Brother Jerry. GOD Sent you to us in one swoop to enter the life of KILY & DILY. You are our guiding Angels and forever will be in our hearts. I want to send you both a special love from the two kids you are watching over and have given us your blessing. The Storm the followed from

[Slongebob]

if you listin to the words, they refer to a thing called astral, you should look it up, this isnt a actually a love song. read between the lines.

[SouhernNightingGale]

@Slongebob Yeah, read between the lines and all but I still take away with me that their LOVE is so deep that it takes them to the ASTRAL PLANE as they're transported to another place and time, like only real LOVE can do! It's a LOVE SONG in the truest and purest form because the physical world doesn't even exist for them when they're together. You feel that way when your heart has met its match, your SOUL MATE! Still a LOVE song to me, they're swept away into the ASRAL PLANE by eachother!

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

@Slongebob

Good ! >;-D ... it's like for Kool and The Gang's "You Are The One" ... I am sure many people didn't get that it was about the Almighty, and not about a woman or something ...I also like that one ("You Are The One") because of its fast rythme ! It's not everyone who can read between the lines...

[philipandmaxwellfan]

YOU GO PHILIP!

[rodaimpaler]

This is my favorite Earth Wind and Fire song, perhaps cause most of the other ones were overplayed. Still, this one is timeless like many of their songs are. Thanks for posting it.

[djshow56]

one of my all-time favorite EWF songs. Been looking for this for a MINUTE. thx for sharing.

[mdfireman27]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! This song was an inspiration for me and all I could think of during my Air Force Basic Training to get me through while missing my girl back home!!!

[snoopydog48us]

Music, just don't get no better than this, sooooo smooooth. Thank you EWF, your the Best!!

[dihajum]

it's heaven to hear this music again. it's one of my favorites.

[bashyboo1]

i get goose pimples when i hear this song...to be in love is a wonderful thing!!

[Stryker563]

This Song Wakes Me Up Every Morning(I Have It Set As The Ring Tone To The Alarm On My Cell)At 5Am & After Hearing This No Matter What Happens During The Day It's Alright,

[rickames]

For you too take up the space to write these lyrics. I want to say thankyou. That was unself. It's easier to follow the melody. You really must like this song. Have a good day. Also, the song is Lovely.

[dogmanwhisper]

This is simply an outstanding song by them. Phillip sounds mind blowing. The lyrics are so captivating this truly speaks of love were living in our own time. The warmth of your embrace I know time cannot erase. Simply beautiful.

[aliquippawill]

Once again, the sheer magnificence & crystal clear beauty of Phillip Baileys' falsetto, (with all due respect, perhaps the greatest falsetto of all time), comes shining through! Earth, Wind & Fire, consistently, created some of the most breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL recorded music in history. Having Mr. Bailey on board ship, I'd imagine, had quite a lot to do with those "beautiful creations"!

[OndrausCissell]

I hadn't heard this in a while also. I forgot how beautiful it was. The good thing is if anyone wants to know; is that you can still get it because it was on ELECTRIC UNIVERSE. You just might have to pay for an import CD unless you want it on vinyl. I bought the import about 13 or 14 years ago and it cost about $40 bucks.

[ronmamita]

I did not see that movie; thank you for sharing.

EW&F are a heavenly joy!

LOVE & Peace

[potrezaml]

i just like that "fwushhh" during all the song...though I think this album was a disappointement...

[VintageSoundsNumber1]

@potrezaml

lol ... yep ! That's just one of the incredible range of sounds that those vintage synths could produce!

[jwillb1962]

This is definitely one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Hearing it again along with reading the words has evoked overwhelming emotions of romantism.

[beautyandnobeast]

is this ms hennesy? hehe

[headedsomewhere]

I hadn't heard this song in years, WOW

[markus3345]

Immer noch ein Wahnsinns Titel

[317and88]

I always loved this song.

[majinbah]

muisca linda.....eu escuto toda hora essa maravilha de som!!!!!

[Rhythmesque]

3:28.5 is the moment of love

[freein2339]

Wonderful , underrated song....

[smfordfre]

This song moves my inner spirit throughout and takes me to a journey in mind, body and soul. This is truely a moving song. It say's journey w/me in time and space. Love It!

[kristianbejb]

dadada very good.

[trezlorenz]

This is pure music from the soul. I fell in love with this song when I first heard it when it was forst released on the Electric Universe Album/CD.

[LawMan5643]

This has to be one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard in my life. There is no other band like EWF

[csmoore40]

Im only viewing the cover of the movie cd i would gather. No real video however would have been real nice. Phillip Bailey is one in a million.

[csmoore40]

hi, i have been looking for this song since the first time i heard it in 1983 when my first love played it for me and then told me that this would be our song for a lifetime. Unfortunately, the relationship didn't last that long, however, the song is beautiful and i will always cherish it. Thanks a lot jonathon for the time and the memories. lol csat

[flattop114]

One of my favorites ALLTIME! EWF songs Been looking for this song for years! THANKS!

[jstulivi]

Superb..but there again.. everything EWF does is Superb..Takes me back this one..Thanks Mr B x

[ceciletrb]

it may not sound like ewf but it was emotionally stirring and the sounds have a lot of feeling

[daseffex1925]

one of my favorite slow jams of all time phillip bailey kills this i know a lot of people would say reasons.

[rekotomo28]

love that song

[shutdowncity007]

[kristianbejb]

the top ewf love songs:

this one

miracles

spirit

[dagoodsole]

The only sad thing about this is we may never see and hear the two (Maurice & Philip)together again. I miss them like I miss my youth. Long live EWF the world's greatest band.

[trezlorenz]

This truly is one song that people need to discover!!!!!!!

[toniepoo229]

I LOVE this song. This is probably one of EWF's prettiest songs, but it gets no play.

[trezlorenz]

You are so right, I love it the moment I first heard it!!

[trezlorenz]

This is just a special song!

[greatmaat]

awesome.
