    It’s a concept album about time travel (Twilight: he‘s taken to a place in the future; Yours Truly 2095 talks about that robot he falls in love with; Ticket To The Moon: he thinks about the love he had to leave behind in the distant past; The Way Life’s Meant To Be: he‘s walking through this future version of places he knows from the past and feels like a stranger). The rest of the songs (which we all hope you’re going to listen to soon) continue that story.

      It's (very) loosely based on "Somewhere In Time." Instead of going backward in time, he goes forward. I'm unsure if the penny in his pocket sends him back in this one.

    It was Jeff Lynne the whole time. The name of this concept album is Time and it tells a story of him traveling to the future from 1981 and this song tells of his disappointment in what his town has turned into and it’s people.

    This is Jeff Lynne doing his Freddy Fender imitation. He does Lou Reed on his solo tune Nobody Home. He does Roy oberson on Endless Lies. He does John Lennon on his Can't Get it Out of My Head. George Harrison on his Don't Want to Say Goodbye Etc. He does it to change up his vocals beyond just singing the tune.

    That is Jeff singing . He was the only lead vocalist they had . the other band members had great voices but preferred to stay with background vocals. Jeff wrote every song they ever performed. That album by the way is easy to figure out but you have to listen to every song in order. It is a concept record about a man who travels into the future using a time machine. His goal is to seek the meaning of life , love and escape to something better. But when he gets to the future he realizes he is more alone than ever, and they havent got the answers to his questions either

  • @AbnerChamate

    Marissa, thank you for correcting Tyler on the proper pronunciation of, *"Lynne".* It is indeed pronounced, "LIN", not, "LINE". Unfortunately Tyler doubled down on his disrespect by responding, *_"Lin, Line, whatever, same difference."_* Um, no, Taylor...I mean Tyler...it is not the "same difference". Saying someone's name correctly--particularly a revered musical genius like Jeff--is a fundamental respect he deserves. Perhaps you didn't mean to be disrespectful, but you certainly came off that way with your flippant, hand-waving response: *_"Lin, Line, whatever, same difference."._* Poor form, young man. Poor form. ps~That is Jeff on lead vocals. He is a man of many voices, as you two will learn the deeper you explore the ELO rabbit hole.

    You're not fully appreciating the concept of the album - The central protagonist all through the album is a man from 1981 displaced in time (presumably to 2095 given that song title) and all these songs (except "Hold On Tight" which seems to have nothing to do with the rest of the album) are in one way or another are about the culture shock he's feeling and his longing for the time he came from. All of these kinda "weird" things make sense once you hear them in the context of the concept.
