    How can a group with so many hits, so many millions in record sales, so many amazing albums, and so much songwriting and music production genius NOT be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? It is incomprehensible, and just flat out wrong!
    (edit) - They finally were several yrs after this OP. Glad so many also felt the same. But the fact also remains that they should've been inducted in their first yrs of eligibility in the late 90's. 20 odd yrs late, total bullshit!

    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

    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.

    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.

      @@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.

      From what I knew,it is a bassline made with a Moog synthesizer.

      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.

    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.
