It's amazing how one song can trigger such powerful emotions. Me and my grandad used to listen to ELO and this was one of his favourite songs. I would give anything to sing this song with him again 😓
It was mid 197-'s..... we were at a high school track event..... all young athletes about to run like gazelles.. lots of pretty young girls around .... this song was playing on a boombox in the grass surrounded by the other team members.... what a great time to be alive..... what a great memory....
I can listen to this song all day and never get sick of it. That's when you know a song is timeless. This is my favorite ELO song along with Telephone Line.
Jeff Lynne & ELO a gift to all people who love music & want to feel happy & uplifted. God bless all the crew of ELO what wonderful musicians you are. Your music uplifts & makes me happe the moment I listen. Cannot tell how wonderful this is ..... THANK YOU
Christopher Phillips great music is enjoyed by all ears brother! I grew with Kook and the Gang in rural Mississippi and I’m a white man. Music is for the soul and souls have no color!
Other than havin good taste in music, I am not sure how to interpret your comment. One of my best friends, who Ive known since 4th grade, and is black, listens to this and a lot of other old school rock as well as a lot of 70s stuff like EW&F, Commodores, Ohio Players, etc...While I listen to a lot of 90s/2000s Rap n Hip Hop as well as 60/70s Motown; Aretha, James Brown, Sam and Dave, etc, and Im white as snow....and OLD! What Im tryin to say is that in my mind, music is universal. No color boundries, just music that moves you, both physically and emotionally. ✌
Spezzy me too reminds me off me dad picking me up from school in the car after he finished working down the pit he always had elo or queen on the cassette player
I remember when I was like five my dad would play this song and other ELO songs whenever it was just me and him alone in the car. I miss that so much.😭😭😭
I know , it is painful ..my dads 85 and got dementia now , but is a great grandad ...we all have to move down the bus ....the son becomes the father , the father becomes the grandfather
the last time they say when you are gone I...TTURN....TO....STONE. very soulful, e.l.o under rated, they did actually have more songs than don't bring me down.
Remember hearing this song during a chaotic and wild party at my friend's house in 2006. I thank God since he was a kid he was always into oldies and many more indie/eccentric music from that time. Since then I've loved this song. Gonna be blastin this and other ELO hits while I take my road trip down the California 1 in a few days!!
The city streets are empty now (The lights don't shine no more) And so the songs are way down low A sound that flows into my mind (The echoes of the daylight) Of everything that is alive (In my blue world) I turn to stone when you are gone I turn to stone I turn to stone, when you comin' home I can't go on The dying embers of a night (A fire that slowly fades 'till dawn) Still glow upon the wall so bright (turning, turning) The tired streets that hide away (From here to everywhere they go) Roll past my door into the day In my blue world I turn to stone when you are gone I turn to stone I turn to stone, when you comin' home I can't go on Turn to stone when you are gone I turn to stone Yes, I'm turnin' to stone 'Cause you ain't coming home Why ain't you comin' home If I'm turnin' to stone You've been gone for so long And I can't carry on Yes, I'm turnin', I'm turnin' I'm turnin' to stone The dancing shadows on the wall (The two-step in the hall) Are all I see since you've been gone (turning, turning) Through all I sit here and I wait (I turn to stone, I turn to stone) You will return again some day To my blue world I turn to stone when you are gone I turn to stone I turn to stone, when you comin' home I can't go on I turn to stone when you are gone I turn to stone I turn to stone when you are gone I turn to stone Turn to stone, when you comin' home I can't go on I turn to stone when you are gone I turn to stone
@@mindtrait0r879it's called a DECLARATIVE statement. It doesn't have to be important. It's also called indicative mood. It's an opinion I believe is factual. It's my favorite ELO song. Where were you when ELO was popular?
I bought their double album when i was 19 i just loved their sound, didn't take much notice of the words until being older ,61 now and this song popped up and just reading the first part is exactly how i feel
Absolutely amazing! I'm at work listening to this song for the thousandth time and had no idea what the lyrics were. Here I am with a smile on my face for 4 minutes straight. ELO! Fanboy for life
Poor doggie turns to stone when their beloved companion is off at work. I always wondered how a dog would perceive the passing of the sun, this song gives us a good idea on what that would be like
The city streets are empty now.... The lights don't shine no more.... And so the songs are way down low.... A sound into my mind that flows...A song by ELO!

ALL MY LOVE, ALL MY LIFE... M~
Should have been a No. 1. I always thought, especially with the background strings, that it was sort of a tribute to Phil Spector's "Solid Wall of Sound." My all-time favorite ELO song.
I miss you so much, can't even inbox you. so afraid you'll share my feelings with everyone. I just get so sad like today, your birthday. wish I could been with you.
This song reminds me of my dad. He loved classic rock and I always talked about how I thought ELO was considered underrated.
It's amazing how one song can trigger such powerful emotions. Me and my grandad used to listen to ELO and this was one of his favourite songs. I would give anything to sing this song with him again 😓
That's deep; sorry man. I'm just trying to get a girl interested in this music. 😥
The price of loving someone worth loving is missing them so when they are gone. Sing the song to high heaven to be sure he can hear in celebration.
Cool story bro. So sorry. You will be with him again some day. :)
Sorry about your grandpa
I try to get my older sister to listen to classic music like this but she won't listen
;(

Genious Musician & artist Jeff Lynne & his band.
40 plus years of listening to this and still have difficulty singing that uptempo section. Great song.
But isn't it fun to try! 😊😊😊
I used to but after practicing I can now keep up lol
Jeff Lynne & ELO a gift to all people who love music & want to feel happy & uplifted. God bless all the crew of ELO what wonderful musicians you are. Your music uplifts & makes me happe the moment I listen. Cannot tell how wonderful this is ..... THANK YOU
Yes, I am a black man and I love me some ELO.
Good taste in music bud
Christopher Phillips you are not alone brother.
There's no shame in that. I'm Puerto Rican, I 💘 E.L.O. until today.

I heard this song for like 30 seconds at a resteraunt and immediately added it to my playlist, that’s how you know it’s good
So many great songs from 1977 and this is no exception.
Reminds me of driving with my dad home from his job... I'd give anything to do that again haha
Spezzy me too reminds me off me dad picking me up from school in the car after he finished working down the pit he always had elo or queen on the cassette player
Awesome memories
Me too ....Golden moments in time .....my dads 85 and got dementia now ...we look after this gentle legend of a man now .

The city streets are empty now
(The lights don't shine no more)
And so the songs are way down low
A sound that flows into my mind
(The echoes of the daylight)
Of everything that is alive
(In my blue world)
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go on
The dying embers of a night
(A fire that slowly fades 'till dawn)
Still glow upon the wall so bright (turning, turning)
The tired streets that hide away
(From here to everywhere they go)
Roll past my door into the day
In my blue world
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go on
Turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
Yes, I'm turnin' to stone
'Cause you ain't coming home
Why ain't you comin' home
If I'm turnin' to stone
You've been gone for so long
And I can't carry on
Yes, I'm turnin', I'm turnin'
I'm turnin' to stone
The dancing shadows on the wall
(The two-step in the hall)
Are all I see since you've been gone (turning, turning)
Through all I sit here and I wait
(I turn to stone, I turn to stone)
You will return again some day
To my blue world
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go on
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
Turn to stone, when you comin' home
I can't go on
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
ELO is to music what 2001 is to movies, everyone’s heard of it, few have seen it, all of whom love it.
I remember the album when it was out. my sister had it. awesome song. gotta love the 70s and 80s. mostly the 70s 😉
Especially the 70's!
This song may very well be ELO's best. Anyway, it's my favorite ELO song.

Hello Yvonne
How feelings can torture the human soul.. Empty city streets, a night that has been lost; a person you'll probably never see.
insightful.......the human condition at times can be quite sad.
dscott0shott suffering seams to be the lot of man
I dido what last commentor said.. and i’m 72. And sing the crap out of these songs.. thanks jeff!!
I love it when a song says everything that your life plays out!
Absolutely!
I bought their double album when i was 19 i just loved their sound, didn't take much notice of the words until being older ,61 now and this song popped up and just reading the first part is exactly how i feel
Jeff Lynn musical genius
ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER. PERIOD.
So GRATEFUL I get to see this for the first time Sunday!! 11.12.2023 VetsAid Chula Vista CA.
Turns a down subject into a fantastic up tune. Just timeless.
Absolutely amazing! I'm at work listening to this song for the thousandth time and had no idea what the lyrics were. Here I am with a smile on my face for 4 minutes straight. ELO! Fanboy for life
That's what they call "the spirit of heaviness"
They captured it in pop
BRILLIANT
No kidding, I absolutely LOVE this song!
Why
@@spiderreed350 WHY are you Here?
Got this cd with this. Love their music. Never get tired of listening to them
Pure genius Mr Jeff Lynne love all his music
Hello Diane
Omg,you've lost your mind.you'd fit right in on a panel of judges at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Shame.
@@spiderreed350 then WHY in the ELO are you Here??

Everyone should know this song.
From Giselle to Simone.... Eternally I sit here and wait. I am but a stone statue till you return home. 🌺🥰
Hello Kathleen
Yes this is definitely my favorite ELO song!
I do believe that these guys were geniuses. :)
Somehow, you are SO correct!
Seeing this played live in Hyde Park in September, just reminds me of what a classic it is.........
It popped into my head and I had to listen to it. Love this song!💕
Just love the bridge here, the fast vocal. Can you do it? Even professional singers have trouble with it. ELO, greatness.
Even if you can't quite do it, isn't it fun to try!
Awesome song
Music today dont stand a chance compared to this.
1:50 step aside Eminem
Its amazing how I can read the lyrics in unison with the song.
Lol 😂
More like Migos lol
I was dying when I figured this out lmmfao
100 percent pure genius jeff lynne

Hello Michelle
this song went to #13 on the pop charts in 1978!!!
This Song Went To Number 13 On The Billboard Hot 100 Chart In 1978.
Should have been a No. 1. I always thought, especially with the background strings, that it was sort of a tribute to Phil Spector's "Solid Wall of Sound." My all-time favorite ELO song.
That's incredible
Who are the 25 idiots that gave a thumbs down to this classic?
Idiots who have no love for classics
One of my favorite songs! :)
It was MINE, as well for a GOOD amount of time!
ELO's unbelievable almost all their songs are incredible one better da the next you almost can't pick!!! Love ELO!!!!!!!....🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🦏🦍🐼🐬🐂🐻🐊

To coin the English....This song is brilliant! Thanks Dusty.
Jeff Lynne was the original creator of the triplet flow!
Family where life begins n heart stayed ❤
Funny how 40 yrs later it echoes of what is going on right now. End times

I just can be tired of listening to this song and any other songs from this Rock band
