Oh my gosh, so true. They were playing a radio station at work yesterday dedicated to all Hip Hop and R&B, every song sounded pretty much the same. Repeating words, repeating the same few notes over and over, synthesized sounds and the lyrics Lol. Some of the dumbest I've ever heard. Like "I'm so fly" and "I'm so hard". Lmao. Who knows what half of those phrases even mean. I wish people from the US would speak ENGLISH! The language of ghetto is not an option, because it's not an actual language.

what a classic...nothing touches this in the music world now...ELO are the BEST:)

@riemudj This has to actually be my favorite, probably because it sticks out in its tempo and instrumentals. However, this song sets the rest of the album. He didn't travel to the future on his own - he was forced into it to record the future, and now he's left with this life beyond his own time, having trouble fitting in, and missing the things of his own time.

"I wish I was back in 1981...just to see your face instead of this place, now I know what you mean to me." I can relate to those lyrics sometimes. Those were special times.

Fantastic album. I went to see ELO at Wembley Arena in 1981; The Time Tour. The robot moving accross the stage during the Prologue, Mick Kiminski doing a violin solo the band doing a tribute to the late John Lennon who had died the previous December. I can't believe that it was all over 30 years ago now. What memories!!!

For anyone of you who don't "get" this song, or think it's misplaced on this album.... Obviously, you don't get "TIME"... does that make sense?

[riemudj]

Maybe it fit with lyrics, but i meant rather musical way,it not fit.

@riemudj I think you're wrong. Have you ever returned to an old neighbourhood after being away for a long time? If you have, this song would make sense to you. It fits in excellently with the overall theme of the album.
