Oh Yeah...being a teenager in the 70's in NYC...Wild times....seeing all of the GREAT bans with the original members....Unbelievable times....now 61 and just tired...😣
I remember listening to this song while shoveling snow last winter, but suddenly I realized it was actually 40 years ago. Be careful kids, this time contraction will happen to you, too.
Yes it will im 68 now and the Rock Festivals and Concerts iv been to..it blows my mind..with of course Woodstock 1969 being the best..it helped me get close to Janis Joplin Jimi Hendrix more than any other group there..the Pictures i have WOW!!! So many..
Im happy that you feel that way. Everyone born before 1970 does. My little slice of that generation... Born in '61. Got the Beatles & Beach Boys, through 4 Seasons, Animals, Jiminy, LZ, ALL OF THE 70's greats, and the early 80s. 😊
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 This is for me:
I feel ya, this plays all the time at my local CVS, but they play music so quietly that I can't hear the lyrics and just the tune got stuck in my head. So frustrating.
My dad knew every word of this song by heart, including the fast breakdown section, and he could recite the whole thing to me and mom in the car, listening to this. My dad was the biggest ELO fan who ever lived since he was growing up in the 1970s. We lost him 3 years ago in December 2020 to cancer related heart issues during COVID19. This song still brings back memories. My 35th birthday was yesterday, and for some reason, this morning, this song popped into my head, made me think about my daddy. I miss him every day that he's not here, and mom and I love listening to ELO every chance we get.
@Rachel... that's awesome memory there! I got a quick vision there of you all in the car and your Dad singing this! Thanks for sharing that...my Son is 36 now...I'd always see him smile whenever he caught me singing... Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High school CA ✌️❤️🇺🇸 and I can't sing worth a sheet! But that's what the art of music is....✌️
Been there done that :) Being grade school and having albums like this and Abacab by Genesis ... Rumours by Fleetwood Mac... Alan Parsons... you name it... glorious quality music by real musicians
Each track has its own appeal and depth. I loved the masterful violins blended with pop only on ELO, because it sounds natural, and so soft to the ear. Unforgettable album, truly.
I woke up to my alarm clock playing “turn to stone” this morning on KCSN a 370 watt college station at Cal State Northridge. It brought tears to my eyes. Tears of joy. I haven’t heard this song in over 40 years. As soon as I heard the chorus, it brought back memories of roller skating at my local roller rink on Fridays nights, while in grade school.
So I heard a quick snippet of this song coming from a car in the movie A Family Finds Entertainment, and it literally took me three whole years to find it through googling lyrics. What a fucking journey.
When I was a kid I thought this song sounded like a spaceship touching down, because of that descending sound in the fade-in. I was probably inspired by the cover art. After the touchdown the actual song hits, and at the end of the song the spaceship takes off again, going higher and higher into the fade-out.
@@Rob_Kates Agreed! This song - as a single - was my first record ever. I got it for my 6th birthday from my grandma. I remember my mom was a bit mad as she thought I was too young for that.
I was just thinking that and I think it's taking off not landing and the heavy bass line is like ship traveling though space and vocals open up to warp drive.......imo
The genius of Jeff Lynne is immeasurable. He combines genres and eras of music into something lyrically beautiful and musically original. He's a student of the history of music. Genius.
Agreed.... Pure genius... From disco, classical, rock, symphony sounding... Great band... Love ELO. If you look on the dictionary for the definition of music, ELO should be the #1 definition.
and, yeess; mr. jeff lynn'd found a sound-style, combining classical music and R&P at since time; at my age, 60 years all time lovin' such famous songs at least;🤗👍👍👍🤩
Neil Briscoe oh okay, that makes more sense. But I still consider it rock because whenever I hear the genre "pop" it reminds me of the shitty music today. To me "pop" gives ELO a bad reputation lol
@rommix0 I remember an older sister of mine going to see them in concert. Oh how I wanted to go! She talked about how great their stage was and the lighting. That, coupled with her probably on some trippy drug would have really enhanced it!
I was born in 1999 but I still love this music and have great respect for it because my mom would play this in our truck all of the time and I brings back my childhood memories and Motown did too. 🙂
"yesimturnintostonecosyouaintcominghomewhyyouaintcominhomeifimturnintostoneivebeenwaitinsolongandicantcarryonyesimturninimturninimturnintostone." Man, I find it really hard to hum this part without ending up chuckling. 🤯😵😅

i feel like its Sunday night, ironing my crease in Levis and patterned shirt, aqua net hair spray fer my disco hair!....i graduated 1981......cough cough,,,,don't hate me
This song hit No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977. How in the heck wasn't it a No. 1? It couples the genius of Jeff Lynne with the "solid wall of sound" tradition of Phil Spector. I'll be 72 next month, and I crank this up full every time I hear it.
I had the absolute privilege of seeing Jeff Lynne and ELO on my birthday a few years back. It was honestly, the best concert and light show I have ever seen.
Ah man that hurt way too much I know how that can feel, it never gets easy losing somebody like that. Listen I know you probably will never see this comment but Man I wish you a happy and prosperous life and hope you find meaning in this messed up world of ours and always remember the the happier things in life
I can always remember my childhood holiday trips to Cornwall in the summer and our holiday CD had this song on it. Passing Stonehenge on the way there with this playing was a bit special.
ELO favs change because they've got so many uber-songs. But If I was forced to choose one specific track, I'd probably go for Eldorado plus Eldorado Finale.
Their crowning achievement. Or should I say "his crowning achievement.' Everything after this was a letdown. The preceding albums from Eldorado on were incremental improvements. But when you thought it couldn't get better than A New World Record, along came Out of the Blue!
@@throwachair4574 see what you mean about dust lol but the fact is that ben grimm really turned into stone and become the Thing, it will be ironic that ben grimm driving his car listening ELO before his transformation
@@ryangreene2159Yea, this specific music hasn’t gone anymore, but really no one is making music like this anymore. So in a sense it has gone somewhere. Most of todays music todays hold a candle to oldies like this.
This song made me fall in love with ELO. I wish I could have grown up in the 70's. I was born in 2001, yet all of Jeff Lynn's amazing music is what makes me truly happy. I wish music nowadays was this good.
I mess around with digital audio production, and that bass is not a traditional vibrating string instrument. It could be one of many synthesizers, but give that it was 1977, chances are pretty good it's a moog synth
I remember hearing this masterpiece and Don't Bring Me Down when I was only four or five years old and been looking forward to hearing it again and I am 44 years old. A true classic stands the test of time and this band proves it.

I am 34 and I love ELO too.
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
This is for me:

How to kick off an epic album appropriately the song.
This. So much this^^^
I heard this song just after the album was released, late in 1977. It was such a rush!
Not many songs can pull off being rock-themed and have a violin in it and still sound awesome. Props to ELO. 👏
That is because this isn't rock-themed, this is Pop. Jeff Lynne has commented that he prefers Pop to any other genre.
Neil Briscoe oh okay, that makes more sense. But I still consider it rock because whenever I hear the genre "pop" it reminds me of the shitty music today. To me "pop" gives ELO a bad reputation lol
Oddly, cello they have live versions.
Pop music has had it's ups and downs, for sure. At times there's been great pop music.
By the way I would consider this pop rock.
I love pop rocks. Delicious.
one of jeff lynne's finest compositions, the vocal harmonies almost kiss your ears they're so awesome.

Not to the level of ELO. Their live performances back in the 70s was a complete light show. From the awesome music to the lasers.

I had the absolute privilege of seeing Jeff Lynne and ELO on my birthday a few years back. It was honestly, the best concert and light show I have ever seen.
Lucky you 🤩
If you don’t love ELO get out 😂❤
My fathers favorite song. I love & miss you Daddy.
jennifer petti Sorry for your loss.He had taste in music,top band and tune.
@@Robbiewa-bg4lu Thank you.
Your father had fantastic musical taste ❤️
Ah man that hurt way too much I know how that can feel, it never gets easy losing somebody like that. Listen I know you probably will never see this comment but Man I wish you a happy and prosperous life and hope you find meaning in this messed up world of ours and always remember the the happier things in life
Thank you
One of the best 70s bands ever!
nie tylko 70-tych, w całej historii !!!
when medusa files for divorce:
Haha good one 😅
You know its a hit when nearly 300,000 views only yields 14 dislikes!
ELO
In two years, it went from 300000 views and 14 dislikes to 3049425 views and 486 dislikes
Still a good ratio
In three years it went to 5 164 847 views and 847 dislikes, pretty damn good ratio
HOW COULD ANYONE NOT LIKE THIS???????
I can always remember my childhood holiday trips to Cornwall in the summer and our holiday CD had this song on it. Passing Stonehenge on the way there with this playing was a bit special.
Lee Warner: Cornwall is such a beautiful County, we used to take trips to Devon County....good memories
Without a doubt my favorite ELO song!
Mine too, Orion!
ILOVE EM ALL
orion deschamps I remember when this song was just released in the good days 70,s:). A lot of today's music is garbage...:(
orion deschamps between this or show down for me :)
ELO favs change because they've got so many uber-songs. But If I was forced to choose one specific track, I'd probably go for Eldorado plus Eldorado Finale.
My mom used to blast this song so loud that you'd have to tap her on her shoulder to get her attention.
I'm a 5000 year old demigod and I love this song
awsome
Chad Myron Gaines-Normington ELO kicks ass
Ok boomer
You don’t look a day over 4999
@@chriswonderer6856 lmao
This is an excellent album by a great band.
sure is
Their crowning achievement. Or should I say "his crowning achievement.' Everything after this was a letdown. The preceding albums from Eldorado on were incremental improvements. But when you thought it couldn't get better than A New World Record, along came Out of the Blue!
Out of the blue= the best album and songs period.
Go mets bruh
Don't agree that everything after this was a let down. Time is a classic
I accidentally clicked this, hearing the first 2 seconds, now I'm in love woth this.
Imagine... this is the first song of the album! And already starts on full gear! Amazing!
I just realized at the end of that Doctor Who episode she literally turns to stone.
1:51 Sorry Eminem, Lynne did it first.
This is officially the last song I'll play when the world is ending
My word, this sound must have been mind blowing then, its fantastic now...
this is a random thought but i want to know what would win in a space battle between the boston spaceship and the elo spaceship
ELO hands down 😊👍
The Boston Ship is mostly glass, The ELO ship could easily land a hit on it and kill everyone
Im here for this..
Me when I make eye contact with Medusa.
This song is a masterpiece. I love Jeff Lynne and ELO.
RIP Richard Tandy
This is an excellent album by a great band.
Suddenly I'm back in Highschool again. Great song, as are all of ELO's tunes.
This song should be in guardians of the galaxy vol 3
Nick Hanley same thing I was thinking
Could be great in the re-reboot of the fanstastic four
well it's 'Turn to Stone' not 'Turn to Dust'
@@throwachair4574 see what you mean about dust lol but the fact is that ben grimm really turned into stone and become the Thing, it will be ironic that ben grimm driving his car listening ELO before his transformation
this comment didn't age well 😂
If I have said it once I have said it a thousand times ELO is the most underrated group in musical history!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe The Kinks
@@carljung8953 I don't like the kings guys, they are super overrated.
Harmonium is pretty good too
how are they underrated?
@@electroencefalografista4941 How are The Kinks overrated?
Remember me Jeff
Why does this not have more vie?, it is an absolutely beautiful song. ELO ROCKS!!
WHY ISN'T THIS IN ANY MOVIES OR EVEN TV SHOWS
Right?
Brilliant song Jeff Lynne what a band don't make em like this no more 😢
They certainly don’t mate timeless classics they produced one after the other
55 here.. Rush, Journey, Boston, Styx, Yes, Queen, Police...........etc etc
Oh yea...this still kicks all musics' asses of today....:).
*most
@@desmondenglish3458 all
Why would anyone dislike the song?
bassboi2001 because they fell into a bush and a small limb snapped off in their eye.
bassboi2001 Maybe because they don't like it?
bassboi2001 They just don't appreciate tight harmony.
J'ai éclaté de rire quand j'ai lu votre réponse , merci !+Brian Mason
It is hard for any band to compare to what Jeff Lynne put together with ELO!
E.L.O. Forever! ❤️👏❤️👏❤️👏❤️
What an era. Somebody please bring back this music.
Yes, please do 🙏🏼
Watch me
Well it hasn't gone anywhere...
Still have all my vinyl's, anyone else? And the player to play them on, you can't hear that on a CD,💜💜💜
@@ryangreene2159Yea, this specific music hasn’t gone anymore, but really no one is making music like this anymore. So in a sense it has gone somewhere. Most of todays music todays hold a candle to oldies like this.
This song made me fall in love with ELO. I wish I could have grown up in the 70's. I was born in 2001, yet all of Jeff Lynn's amazing music is what makes me truly happy. I wish music nowadays was this good.
Can't stop listening to the damn song!!!
Favorite ELO song without a doubt
It's been mine for months! Can't get enough of it
Mine's "Livin' Thing".
It was a great time in America when this song came out!!!!!!!!!! I'm 57,and it's still just good now!
Turn to stoned
What the fuck is that awesome fuzzy sounding bass line? Is that even a bass?!
From what I knew,it is a bassline made with a Moog synthesizer.
John Cena
I mess around with digital audio production, and that bass is not a traditional vibrating string instrument. It could be one of many synthesizers, but give that it was 1977, chances are pretty good it's a moog synth
It's indeed a moog
Tyler Derden Moog for the daily double and right we ate
So I'm not only one who has been having a hard time finding this song
Saul Canelo Alvarez if you train to this song you'll beat GGG
Eric Espinoza lol
Eric Espinoza lol
Always see you on egos channel, looks like you have a good taste in music too aha
Now these guys had a complete understanding of Music Theory...
+Danielle Davito and orchestral composition lol
“I TURN TO STONE, WHEN YOU COMIN’ HOME, I CAN’T GO ON” 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
I remember hearing this masterpiece and Don't Bring Me Down when I was only four or five years old and been looking forward to hearing it again and I am 44 years old. A true classic stands the test of time and this band proves it.
This played at my senior prom. I was dancing with this chick who was sort of a plain girl around school. She was beyond beautiful that night....
They often ARE or BECOME the most beautiful...both inside and outside, and deserve respect and love of a good and faithful man, forever.
That is an awesome story
I remember how a lot of the ordinary girls turned into bombshells after graduation!! If I could only go back 38 years!
Fabulous classical work of art. One the most genius pieces ever recorded
Awesome band ❤️❤️
The feel good song that’s just keeps giving makes my eyes water it’s that good you will replay this more than twice 👍🏻
My eyes are watering too, my friend
Una canción extraordinaria del año 1977 ( Álbum " Out of the blue " ) . Una orquestación muy hermosa y una mezcla perfecta entre pop y rock sinfónico. Jeff lynne , otra de tus grandes canciones.
Gracias por subir el video.
that 13 second musical intro never fails to impress me. sounds vaguely menacing.
0:01 the ship arrives...
3:20 the ship leaves.
😎
ELO will always be in my top 10 favorite artists to listen to no matter what mood I happen to be.
