I unexpectedly lost my father less than a week ago. This was one of his favorite bands, and one of his favorite songs. I hadn't seen him in years but we connected for the last couple years via telephone. My phone was disconnected for lack of paying my bill, and that happened to be the last day of his life, where he sent me some text messages that I didn't receive until the next day, when he had already passed. I could never reply. Love you dad.
I feel for you. I hope you will find healing as time goes. This songs is amazing, heard it for the first time tonight after I heard it gave Yung Gravy goosebumps. It gave me goosebumps too. It is very intense and I think it is very honest about how we feel a lot of time. Your dad had good taste.
@@stephenhernandez4729 When is the first time you ever listened to ELO? For me it was back in the late 80s... My older brother owned a record player and had the Vinyl of it.
Subscribed 4 years ago. Posted a couple of comments about how much I appreciate this song and this band. Got very little response. Everybody else got alot of responses. E.L.O. was and is amazing!!!!!!!
ELO never produced a bad record. They are all brilliant. I love this band. I was a teenager in the 1970s I am now 61 years old and still play them and still enjoy listening to them.
This is my favorite ELO song. I love the deep drums, I love the orchestration. I love the vocal harmonies. I love the subject, the lyrics and the evocative emotion of this song. I love how it reminds me of my youth - so much that it brings tears. I could listen to this a million times and never get tired of it - straight to my heart! Completely beautiful what a classic!
Saying that Jeff Lynne has powerful vocals is a massive understatement lol. Dudes got serious pipes, and is a literal genius song writer. There are a lot of people who don't even realize the full scope of his talent as a musician song writer. Not only is he responsible for most ELO songs, as well as his Solo music, but he's written hit songs for the likes of The Beatles, as well as solo songs for Paul, Ringo, and George. He's written for artists like Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Brian Wilson, and Olivia Newton-John, and even to groups like the Pussycat Dolls. And he's still going strong today by playing shows and touring. To say that he has been one of the most influential rock musicians of all time is even an understatement lol. There are Jeff Lynne fans out there in the world that have no idea they are even Jeff Lynne fans haha.
@@ernestocastanares982 Which really isn't surprising, given the fact that Queen and ELO both started in 1970, and were only separated by like a 2 hour drive from each other.
Imagine the phone not ringing and you're still suffering through those lonely nights...I had MANY of those nights in my lifetime, but somehow I survived and am happily married to my true love Suzanne in Canada.
This song reminds me of my ex. Neither of us could bear to fully break contact with each other when we broke up, and once a month we'd call just to check in on each other. Eventually though, we agreed that for us to truly move on, it'd be best if we never spoke to each other again. Still though, I have her number, she has mine, and sometimes I still hope we'll talk again soon.
The live version of this song wembley 2017 and the crowd reaction says it all brilliant artist brilliant band all the best Mr lynee in retirement next year how about some new music before you go please pat clonmel
It amazes me that we can go back 45 years and listen to music that still sounds fresh. If you went back 45 years from when I was born in 1965 you be doing the Charleston.
I refuse to be sad, instead I will be elated you got to experience true love, I will be lifted up because you got to make new life and raise it (from the sounds of it you are a loving dad and Husband) and because you got to experience true happiness with what I can only imagine was wild ride of energetic nights both loving and fighting. Good on you, you got to do the most amazing thing in life and bring a life joy, peace and bring it to a long journy to finally be at rest with a wonderful life. I do not cry for your because I am sad for you, I cry because you brought me a wave of emotion with a simple sentance. Live well, you loved well and they ARE waiting for you with great excitment. Keep living for those that need you still. See you on the other side.
I met Jeff at a Subway I worked at out of the blue. He was shocked that I regonized him! Told him it was an honor to meet him. So much music history with that man.
EDDIE MENDEZ Haha, yeah, dumbass humans...What the hell have they done? Flew a rocket to the moon and landed with a computer as powerful as a pocket calculator you say...Fair enough.
Wondered about Lynn's thinking there; the line creates the impression that there's a switchboard operator placing the call, yet all the other verses are directed at his unavailable ex. Beautiful none the less.
How is it that I can remember every word to hundreds of 70s and 80s songs, yet I spend half my life looking for my keys, phone, or the reason I came upstairs?
63, and this music takes me instantly back. Music is the bridge between the spoken, temporal word to the things beyond this world, dare I say heaven. Certain songs bridge generations, thereby unifying them.
Never has loneliness been expressed in a more melancholic and wistful manner. I get goosebumps every time I hear this song. Jeff Lynne is pouring his heart out in this one. The melody, the music, the lyrics and Jeff's incredible vocals all add up to the perfect song.
Before internet, answering machines, just a dial tone to reach out to family and friends. The frustration and heartbreak when no one is answering. A truly beautiful song! I'd cry when it came on radio. Lord, I'm old..lol I even remember party lines at Maw Maw's house. Good times!
A few years ago Maroon 5 did song where the phone, a pay phone was central to the lyric. But where can you find a pay phone any more? But this song does take you back to when the phone was the primary means of communication (we also wrote letters, they just took a while, unlike the instant transmission of email). Remember only making long distance phone calls on the weekends because the rates were lower?
There were many nights I used pay phones. Now it's about making sure your phone is charged up. Is it me that actually misses talking and hearing someone else's voice. Texting just seems impersonal.
This is one of those Time Machine Songs. You listen to it and your immediately transported to another time , another place. Let yourself get lost in time. Lost in the memories. Feel the magic one more time.

My oldest brother died a few years ago. This song kills me. And now his daughter, my niece, has been gone a year. People, call your loved ones today. You never know where they might be tomorrow.
Can't really be "game-changers" when your entire sound is based on The Beatles' late '60s period. Jeff Lynne literally said that ELO's objective was to pick up where The Beatles left off. Plenty of music journalists have written about the homage they pay to the Fab Four. Hell, Wikipedia even has an entire page dedicated to how much ELO was influenced by them ("Jeff Lynne and The Beatles"). But yeah, ELO was great.
LISTEN "Hello, how are you? Have you been alright through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?" That's what I'd say, I'd tell you ev'rything if you pick up that telephone, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, How you feelin'? Are you still the same, don't you realize the things we did, we did were all for real, not a dream. I just can't believe they've all faded out of view, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oo. Doo da wop, doo bee doo da wop, do wah doo lang. Blue days, black nights, doo wah doo lang. I look into the sky, The love you need ain't gonna see you through, And I wonder why the little things you planned ain't comin' true. Oh, oh, telephone line, Give me some time, I'm living in twilight. Oh, oh, telephone line, Give me some time, I'm living in twilight. O. K. so no one's answering, Well, can't you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longer oh, I'll just sit tight, Through shadows of the night let it ring forever more, oh, hoh hoh hoh. Doo da wop, doo bee doo da wop, do wah doo lang Blue days, black nights, doo wah doo lang Doo da wop, doo bee doo da wop, do wah doo lang
31, only because my dad introduced me to the album "Time" when I was pretty young.. he passed away a few days ago at the age of 63. Best belive I'll be playing ELO for him in remembering of him.
Hello? - Hi. Is this Danny McGrath? - Yeah. The Danny McGrath that graduated from Knibb High School in 1984? - Uh, yeah. Who's this? - This is Billy Madison. You probably don't remember me, but I went to high school with you. I kinda gave you a hard time back then,... ..and I did some things that I thought were funny at the time,... ..but now I realise they were just mean and stupid. And I just wanted to apologise, and I hope you forgive me. Yeah, sure. Don't worry about it. Wow! That's great! Well, I am sorry, and maybe we can get together some time... ..and have coffee or somethin'. - Sure, I'd like that. - OK. Well, I'll see you around. OK. Bye.

@@rebekahtowers7130 Precisely. This song got HEAVY airplay when I was a little boy. I dare say it was inescapable. It was nice to be raised on music like this.

And I, um, kinda gave you a hard time back then, and, uh, I did some things I thought were funny at the time, and realized they were just mean and stupid.

ELO is an odd entity, a band that was very popular back in the day that produced a lot of hits but now is rarely spoken about. Time to bring these boys back to the light. Much overdue.
I always get confused by that too. They sold like 100 million albums. And they barely get talked about, except for Mr Blue Sky as a song for commercials. It's really odd to me, as they're such a damn good group. I'm glad we can all enjoy their music and everything still of course
@@theoo.2019 Yes, but do you see anyone talk about any of their other songs? Do you see any music critics talking about them right now? I don't think so really.
Lol I get the reference with O.K. instead of okay. For those who don’t know: the higher educated folk of the 1800s (colleges and such), around the time of the invention of the telegram, used purposeful misspellings of words when they communicated. One of them was Olls Korrect (All’s Correct), which they short handed with OK. When the telegram came around, people would respond with the letters OK to show that they got the message that the other was sending. It’s fitting for a song about a crumbling of communication to use it. It’s like he’s trying to hold onto the connection for longer by responding with “all is good”. It’s especially supported when he says, “Can you let it ring a little longer?” Honestly though, I don’t think he meant it to be like that. If he did, props to you Jeff Lynne!
I was 15. I was beginning to feel. Feelings. ELO made it alright. In 1976 I got this album as a present at at a Xmas party and it introduced me into a new way of experiencing music. Jeff Lynne, thank you.
I bought a bunch of CDs in the late 1980s. El Dorado was in the mix. The clerk pulled that one out and said it was an excellent choice showing good taste in music. I still have the CD.
This song made me cry when I was in high school hoping for a girlfriend. It now makes me cry, 46 years later, when I reminisce about my 29-year marriage that ended in an unwanted divorce. If I live to be 92, there will probably be a new reason to cry when I hear this. And I'm okay with that.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m still searching for a girlfriend and I’ve got my heart set on a girl I’ve known for four years since we started freshman year, and then there was COVID, and I also had to go to a college prep school. I still try to connect with her, but we’re just so busy. I repeat, I’ve known her for 4 years, but it’s difficult for me to move on.
A New World Record of which this is from is their last good record. ELO jumped the shark with the follow-up, Out Of The Blue. It's Over and Sweet Is The Night harken back to better times but stuff like Turned To Stone could have been on the Xanadu Soundtrack.
Just posted this to my friend's facebook page. We were friends for 50 years when she passed a year ago. Today is her birthday. I hope she can hear this wherever she is and know one of our favorites is now more fitting than it was before. We loved this track!!
I love how he added in the line ringing at the beginning; it really adds to the song, for those of us old enough that we lived through a time where there were phones that didn't have an answering machine or voicemail, and the phone just rang and rang sometimes when there was someone we REALLY wanted to talk to.
That’s what I Love about this song is the old school ringing of the phone 📱 international sound I was in Japan 🇯🇵 called my mom in Ohio and it rang like that no voice mail nothing those were the days
One of ELO's greatest songs, full of emotional yearning. Jeff Lynne is an absolute genius. How can so many incredible songs come from the mind of one person? We are so blessed to have him.
I’ll admit as a huge metal fan I looked up this song half joking as a reference from Billy Madison and ended up on incredible crash course in incredible songwriting. These guys are amazing. I couldn’t believe how good this song was when I actually sat down and listen to it
Dude same. I got this album from my aunt who didn’t want hers anymore and put it on today just because of Billy Madison. Whole thing was sick. I’ve also watched the Billy Madison scene about 10 times today on RUclips.
@coldfarted Jeff Lynn is amazing. He was a part of the Traveling Wilburys. A super group consisting of incredible artists. He is in high regard from me
Man, I honestly feel sorry for anyone just recently discovering ELO lol. They are an amazing gift to the world of music, and Jeff Lynn is a genius. I feel like anyone who says that they don't like ELO is just lying they're ass off haha.
My mom passed away Jan 12 2019. 82 years old! We sang ELO growing up while doing chores! We played this album at her memorial service! 💗 I’m 56 but still feel like a kid when I play your music!!! #ELOforever

I hadn't seen him in years but we connected for the last couple years via telephone. My phone was disconnected for lack of paying my bill, and that happened to be the last day of his life, where he sent me some text messages that I didn't receive until the next day, when he had already passed. I could never reply. Love you dad.
Oh friend-be strong. Just sit tight. It will all work out > Do Wop!
Sorry for your loss...people who grew up in this era of music were extremely blessed and I’m sure your dad had many great memories! 🙏

If there ever was a song that can make a person cry, this is the one. It’s a common theme that we’ve all experienced.
I was a kid when this first came out but I loved it then and now. The way Jeff's voice quavers in the opening still gets me, all these years later.
Before internet, answering machines, just a dial tone to reach out to family and friends. The frustration and heartbreak when no one is answering. A truly beautiful song! I'd cry when it came on radio. Lord, I'm old..lol I even remember party lines at Maw Maw's house. Good times!

Just last month, NYC removed the final two public phone booths
There were many nights I used pay phones. Now it's about making sure your phone is charged up. Is it me that actually misses talking and hearing someone else's voice. Texting just seems impersonal.
Dear Love, you're not old. Smile and be happy.
RIP Richard Tandy. Killer keyboardist. Love this intro.
Prayers for your family. Thank you for playing for us all these years.
I'm 29 and 70s and 80s music is the best, good music never dies
❤❤❤ aa im not alone at least ,im 30😊 when i play certain songs at work ,my workmates look at me like wtf are you listening to 😂😂
Great music is ageless :)
I’m 20, what should I do to find myself and be better ?
Nah its 90s Black Metal and Death Metal thats the best
I could live without the 80s , but on topic, Elo is simply the perfect example of brilliance
This is one of those Time Machine Songs. You listen to it and your immediately transported to another time , another place. Let yourself get lost in time. Lost in the memories. Feel the magic one more time.
listen to Pink Floyd if you want to Beam yourself up
I love comments like this. They aren't blind bullshit. This is genuine happy comment.
1976: Girl I met through a friend. She want to another school. We had a moment to this song. Enough said.
....back to one certain night....August 27, 1977...
.
Marlon Hinton that place would be on the couch with red lipstick smeared all over your face
This song sounds like if Elton John, David Bowie, Queen and the Bealtes wrote a song together.
A masterpiece!
I just thought the same
Jeff Lynne is a genius.

No it really doesn't. The fact you said that nonsense, shows THAT YOU HAVE ZERO TASTE.

My oldest brother died a few years ago. This song kills me. And now his daughter, my niece, has been gone a year. People, call your loved ones today. You never know where they might be tomorrow.
So true
You say that now till you get the answering machine and it's there voice then it's a throwback punch in the gut
@@charliesybert2683..' let it ring for evermore '
Oh my God
At an ELO concert?
Love this band. Also this song always makes me think of Billy Madison when he calls up Steve Buscemi.
“Man I’m glad I called that guy”
You and I the same lol
😂
Just watched billy madison again yesterday and came here lol
Hahaha i always remember Steve laying down with his lipstick 😂
ELO never got the accolades they deserved. They were game changers. Jeff Lynne was a musical genius.
Agreed..👍
Gary Anderson still is lol
Oddly, I didn't care for ELO in the 70's, but now, I can't get enough.
Can't really be "game-changers" when your entire sound is based on The Beatles' late '60s period. Jeff Lynne literally said that ELO's objective was to pick up where The Beatles left off. Plenty of music journalists have written about the homage they pay to the Fab Four. Hell, Wikipedia even has an entire page dedicated to how much ELO was influenced by them ("Jeff Lynne and The Beatles"). But yeah, ELO was great.
👍
I really don't think anybody believes me, but ELO is the most underrated group in musical history!!!!!
I agree.
Agree
iv said that 100's of times....been listening to them since my teens in the 70"s
Itz not underated so long as "U" lovit! As the song goes, "M livin n twilight" Nuthn else mattrz !!!😎
Yes. Jeff Lynne is a genius.
LISTEN
"Hello, how are you?
Have you been alright through all those lonely,
lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights?"
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you ev'rything
if you pick up that telephone, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, How you feelin'?
Are you still the same, don't you realize the things we did,
we did were all for real, not a dream.
I just can't believe they've all faded out of view, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oo.
Doo da wop, doo bee doo da wop, do wah doo lang.
Blue days, black nights, doo wah doo lang.
I look into the sky, The love you need ain't gonna see you through,
And I wonder why the little things you planned ain't comin' true.
Oh, oh, telephone line, Give me some time, I'm living in twilight.
Oh, oh, telephone line, Give me some time, I'm living in twilight.
O. K. so no one's answering,
Well, can't you just let it ring a little longer,
longer, longer oh, I'll just sit tight,
Through shadows of the night let it ring forever more, oh, hoh hoh hoh.
Doo da wop, doo bee doo da wop, do wah doo lang
Blue days, black nights, doo wah doo lang
Doo da wop, doo bee doo da wop, do wah doo lang

Billy Madison lipstick scene.
First time I ever heard this song.
Lol.
It took me a while back then to look for it 😂
Ooh shit, I just heard that part when I was reading this.
Omg
People to kill list lmao
Lmao that's how I first heard of this song
Hello?
- Hi. Is this Danny McGrath?
- Yeah.
The Danny McGrath that graduated
from Knibb High School in 1984?
- Uh, yeah. Who's this?
- This is Billy Madison.
You probably don't remember me,
but I went to high school with you.
I kinda gave you a hard time back then,...
..and I did some things that
I thought were funny at the time,...
..but now I realise they
were just mean and stupid.
And I just wanted to apologise,
and I hope you forgive me.
Yeah, sure. Don't worry about it.
Wow! That's great!
Well, I am sorry, and maybe
we can get together some time...
..and have coffee or somethin'.
- Sure, I'd like that.
- OK. Well, I'll see you around.
OK. Bye.

Keep rewinding it.

Absolutely. Pure musical, lyrical perfection
"Let it ring forevermore " There is such a sense of finality in just this lyric alone!
And desperation.

sorta I guess. I can see how others feel that
👍🇺🇸✝️
The "duah dubidu-duah
duah-dulaaaey, blue days, black nights, duah-dulaaaey" part is pure eargasm
Seems like ELO was giving a nod of respect to the doo-wah groups of the late 50's and early 60's that they grew up with. Really cool
@@Biden_Cult_Morons Didn't know that, thanks for sharing!
Blue days, Black nights is a Buddy Holly song...ELO was paying tribute to the of the truly greatest artists kn music history

@@mattanderson6336 One of the beautiful things about this song is that it is worded so that it could be anyone... wife, husband, lover, friend, even mother or father.
This song is an absolute masterpiece. It's sad that the whole world hasn't listened to it yet.
This is my first time.
It's just that ahead of it's time
Well, the whole world listened to it when it came out. It was pretty big.
@@rebekahtowers7130 Precisely. This song got HEAVY airplay when I was a little boy. I dare say it was inescapable. It was nice to be raised on music like this.

No doubt! 💯
And one of the best voices in rock 'n roll.

ELO is an odd entity, a band that was very popular back in the day that produced a lot of hits but now is rarely spoken about. Time to bring these boys back to the light. Much overdue.
Mr. Blue Sky has been way overused buddy, I think they have plenty of exposure nowadays
Yes!
I always get confused by that too. They sold like 100 million albums. And they barely get talked about, except for Mr Blue Sky as a song for commercials. It's really odd to me, as they're such a damn good group. I'm glad we can all enjoy their music and everything still of course
@@theoo.2019 Yes, but do you see anyone talk about any of their other songs? Do you see any music critics talking about them right now? I don't think so really.
THEY are spoken about plenty ,..don't worry lol ,..EVER HEARD OF JEFF LYNN DUH ??

Telephone Line lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC
Lol I get the reference with O.K. instead of okay.
For those who don’t know: the higher educated folk of the 1800s (colleges and such), around the time of the invention of the telegram, used purposeful misspellings of words when they communicated. One of them was Olls Korrect (All’s Correct), which they short handed with OK. When the telegram came around, people would respond with the letters OK to show that they got the message that the other was sending. It’s fitting for a song about a crumbling of communication to use it. It’s like he’s trying to hold onto the connection for longer by responding with “all is good”. It’s especially supported when he says, “Can you let it ring a little longer?”
Honestly though, I don’t think he meant it to be like that. If he did, props to you Jeff Lynne!
This song breaks my heart and makes me cry.
Thank you 😊
Scott D Is it me you're looking for?
I am retired Air Force 2008 59 years old I love this music my dad and me used to listen to this all the damn time😂 God bless you
Jeff Lynne doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves as a song writer.
RobotShlomo so true. bad company and ELO are not in the hall of fame but bon jovi is crazy
He doesn't get credit for being a great producer in sound engineer either
He got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with ELO. I would say he got his credit.
AGREE! And he was a Traveling Wilbury... But, I'm sure you know that.
Jeff Lynne
Billy Madison "I'm glad I called that guy".
for real. The symbolism of that guy being the guy everyone treated bad and didn't trust yet was a good dude is high level. Billy Madison forever.
Yep 😆
He’s made some real turds, but Sandler usually has great music in his movies.
Jeff Lynn is the man
🤣🤣
I was 15. I was beginning to feel. Feelings. ELO made it alright. In 1976 I got this album as a present at at a Xmas party and it introduced me into a new way of experiencing music. Jeff Lynne, thank you.
omg you culd only be happy one you wrer 15 ????????//?//???
I was 16 and a lonely teenager.
Same here, Just love ELOs music.
I was 17 , still love them.
iam 33 a was brought up listning to them as a kid
Been listening to the Electric Light Orchestra from 1971, and never quit they are Kings in the rock kingdom and still shine 😊
Man, I keep coming back to ELO. What a magical band. My hats off to you Jeff Lynne.
One of the single most underrated bands in the history of music. Their collective musical genius is up there with Brian Wilson.
They thought Pink Floyd was ahead of his time. These guys are way beyond that.
Not underrated by me!
I bought a bunch of CDs in the late 1980s. El Dorado was in the mix. The clerk pulled that one out and said it was an excellent choice showing good taste in music. I still have the CD.
Who is Brian Wilson?
Well, they're not too underrated - I mean they're in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Put your lipstick on when enjoying this
lmao! great scene from the Woops I mean Billy Madison :3.
+nicholas gardner Billy Madison lol
LOL I know right.
😂😂😂😂
lol that scene is still funny
This song made me cry when I was in high school hoping for a girlfriend. It now makes me cry, 46 years later, when I reminisce about my 29-year marriage that ended in an unwanted divorce. If I live to be 92, there will probably be a new reason to cry when I hear this. And I'm okay with that.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m still searching for a girlfriend and I’ve got my heart set on a girl I’ve known for four years since we started freshman year, and then there was COVID, and I also had to go to a college prep school. I still try to connect with her, but we’re just so busy. I repeat, I’ve known her for 4 years, but it’s difficult for me to move on.
Well said
Stay strong brothers let it naturally come
@@fireflameboi7682 Thank you so much!
Bless you Robert ❤
Jeff Lynne is a freakin' awesome musician, songwriter/ arranger and producer. One of the all time greats.
Yeahhhhhhhhh, WE know ;P
You forgot great voice
The 5th Beatle.
Always had that smoothness to him.
A New World Record of which this is from is their last good record. ELO jumped the shark with the follow-up, Out Of The Blue. It's Over and Sweet Is The Night harken back to better times but stuff like Turned To Stone could have been on the Xanadu Soundtrack.
Gary Brice . You're damn right he is!
This is a pretty long voicemail LOL

As a 15 year old I recently discovered this band and I'm obsessed, trying to convince my parents to take me to their tour 😂
Best of luck convincing them, I hope you get to go to the tour!
😂😂😂😂 tour .. gonna have to dig them up first
I was 15 too!!! Well, that was.. almost 50 years ago?
I'm seeing them tonight with half my family!!!! Long Live Jeff Lynne!!!!
I’m 70... They weren’t underrated when they topped the charts when this album was released ❤❤❤
I'm 67 and I agree with your comment they weren't underrated every album they did was absolutely perfect
I’m 147 and this song played at my retirement party.
Of course ELO weren't underrated! All this "underrated" bs comes from ignorant youngsters..

@@jaredhall4812 you're pretty dense
She will be able hear it.
I love how he added in the line ringing at the beginning; it really adds to the song, for those of us old enough that we lived through a time where there were phones that didn't have an answering machine or voicemail, and the phone just rang and rang sometimes when there was someone we REALLY wanted to talk to.
Yes, right there with you! Those were the days ... Love ELO even though I'm more of an old school soul lady. This one was particularly lovely.
reminds me of times when i would leap down flights of stairs like wonderwoman in case it was HIM on the phone lol
tall32guy Just watch out for the Phone Cops. Those suckers play hard ball man.
That’s what I Love about this song is the old school ringing of the phone 📱 international sound I was in Japan 🇯🇵 called my mom in Ohio and it rang like that no voice mail nothing those were the days
Rotary dial, man...none of that newfangled push-button bullshit..
Congratulations to Electric Light Orchestra for finally making the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
Fraudulent. Bands like ELO, Moody Blues, and Paul Revere and the Raiders have always been overlooked by the stooges at the RnR HoF. Fraudulent
To the 24 people that voted down I'm gonna cut their phone lines
I was thinking their throats, but I don't think I'll be arrested for the phone line bit. I'll go with yours.
😂😂😂
ME TOO!
Nobody has telephone lines anymore, man.
sam radford MrPants432, and your point is ?
ELO were masters at poignancy. Every song makes me feel bittersweet.
One of ELO's greatest songs, full of emotional yearning. Jeff Lynne is an absolute genius. How can so many incredible songs come from the mind of one person? We are so blessed to have him.
some songwriters just got "it", and man--does he have IT. Pure musical genius.!!
I’ll admit as a huge metal fan I looked up this song half joking as a reference from Billy Madison and ended up on incredible crash course in incredible songwriting. These guys are amazing. I couldn’t believe how good this song was when I actually sat down and listen to it
The real joke is that Adam Sandler is a huge ELO fan.
Dude same. I got this album from my aunt who didn’t want hers anymore and put it on today just because of Billy Madison. Whole thing was sick. I’ve also watched the Billy Madison scene about 10 times today on RUclips.
@coldfarted Jeff Lynn is amazing. He was a part of the Traveling Wilburys. A super group consisting of incredible artists. He is in high regard from me
The exact reason I came here and the exact result happened
Man, I honestly feel sorry for anyone just recently discovering ELO lol. They are an amazing gift to the world of music, and Jeff Lynn is a genius. I feel like anyone who says that they don't like ELO is just lying they're ass off haha.
This is quite possibly one of the best songs I have ever heard...
Amo essas músicas antigas 😍
Amen
My mom passed away Jan 12 2019. 82 years old! We sang ELO growing up while doing chores! We played this album at her memorial service! 💗 I’m 56 but still feel like a kid when I play your music!!! #ELOforever

👍🇺🇸
it hurts to be a music lover sometimes
indeed
well then listen hear it again
+Rosemary Ochoa Wholly agree. Sometimes I'll dig up a song on youtube or where ever that makes me so nostalgic that I almost want to cry.
Tony Q thanks, we they just right on, and nailed it
+Rosemary Ochoa That's what's killer about music.
I have nostalgia to a time I wasn’t even alive...
Being nostalgic for a time when
you were not even alive...
... maybe that nostalgia rubbed off on you from a relative...
Great tune, huh!
That is purely poetic....beautifully said
The music was great! You was born late.
woah, same, I even put this song in a playlist I saved that's titled "nostalgia for a time you never lived"
I totally agree 100%
My cousin passed away earlier this year due to Covid and this song was one of his favorites. Everytime I play it I think of him. I love it myself. I feel close to him when I play this song.
Sorry for your loss ✝️👍🙏🏽
May he live on in this song. I'm sorry he's gone.
That is so gr8.I know he's there with you
I'm not generally an ELO fan, but this is one of the best songs ever written.
It is what most people want to say but they don't
this song makes my heart beat a different way
me to buddi
same!😉
