@nekuphones333 Face The Music

[WhatsupSodapop]

For me the 1:52 moment is the part that gets me, absolutely brilliant.

[Scott06096]

Gorgeous song... gorgeous slides for the video!

DID ANYONE KNOW, AND I DID'NT..... the fifth studio LP was face released in 1975

The back cover of the record sleeve shows the members of the band with their faces pressed against a glass panel, supposedly watching the "electrocution" depicted on the front cover. The band member who is looking away is Richard Tandy, who thought it was a sick idea and therefore didn't want to participate

I'TS AMAZING WHAT A GOOGLE SEARCH DOES FOR YOU

@barrybwfc You mean Face The Music?

[anddaz]

chicago hard to say i'm sorry?

[hightopiscool]

2 people don't like good music.

[darklatios132]

Does anyone realize that the "praise the mighty waterfall" etc part sounds like Canon in D sped up? X)

[no1elofaniknow]

@darklatios132 You're right, it does. Must've been on Jeff Lynne's mind when he was writing the melody for the chorus.

Truly great! I have loved this song since I was about 17 and thought I had it all figured out. Thanks for posting it!

[no1elofaniknow]

[verbal1995]

Beautiful song from an amazing album.

[eclecticear]

This song just gets me. Right at about "But they don't understand...It's like a waterfall" my eyes start to well up. I think I'm getting old.

[revwjh]

@eclecticear no just wiser, we remember what and when great music meant something. and I must agree about the tears. they are a language all of their own.

[Stravinski59]

@eclecticear that bit for me is "that's how it has to be, just an illusion" ...

[bubs101able]

@eclecticear Hey dont Cry your not alone we're all pre destined beleave in your maker and love the soil that susstains us threw lifes path .

[lizs004]

Beautiful song, indeed. One of my favourite by ELO...

[miwnamoh]

One of my favorite tracks of Face the music...I often use as backgroundmusic for waterfall scenes on vacationflicks

[HH19881988]

Another ELO masterpiece.

Forza 2020

[ChivaInvencible]

Pulls you in, takes you down, it's a sad affair... Without the friends and lovers, you could never go on living... Great song !!!

[zebramexico]

its from face the music an absolutely must have album for any elo fan,also on this album evil woman, fire on high, strange magic, the whole album is a masterpiece.

[Stevetheperformer]

I agree 100 percent. Why did they ever go bubble gum?

[labhunter1]

@zebramexico I agree a must for all ELO fans. how ever I feel the best album is Balance of Power. 

[Ziggy2502]

From wich album is this song. It`s a great tune, oh boy I like it.

[britfrenir]

I used to have the album that this song came comes from. It was from side one of the vinal LP album: 1. Fire On High (which takes up most of it), 2.Waterfall 3. Evil Woman, and 4. Night Rider. Side 2: 1. Poker, 2. Strange Magic, 3. Down Home Town, and 4. Summer Dream or One Summer Dream. I have not listened to this alum since 1981 or 1982 so that is why I could not remember the last song on side 2 very well.

[TheInvertical]
