      1974-1979 very experimental as well in electro, funk and disco fields. A crazy race to grap new sounds. Each town or country has its own touch (munich sound philadelphia sound miami sound...).

      So true...and I came along right on time. That 79-84 timeframe was the beginning of my musical exploration. By 84 (age 7) I was already singing and playing and songs like Twilight Zone, Sweet Dreams, Rock With You, Glamorous Life...I could list for days...were the songs that expanded my young musical palette.

    With a key, you unlock a door to imagination
    Beyond it is another dimension
    A dimension of sight
    A dimension of sound
    A dimension of mind
    You're moving through a land of both shadow and substance
    Of things and ideas
    Guiding you through this wondrous journey
    Is the hypnotic sound of the twilight tone
    When I hear this melody
    This strange illusion takes over me
    Through a tunnel of the mind
    Perhaps a present or future time, oh oh
    Out of nowhere comes this sound
    This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
    Pyramidal locomotion
    From a mystic unknown zone
    Hearin' the twilight
    Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
    Unpretentious girl from Memphis
    Saw the future through her third eye
    People came with skepticism
    Picking, testing her precision, no, wo, oh, oh
    Suddenly they heard this sound
    This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
    A signpost up ahead is calling
    Through the mystic unknown zone
    Hearin' the twilight
    (Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm)
    Hearin' the twilight
    (Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da)
    Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
    Hearin' the twilight
    (Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm)
    Hearin' the twilight
    (Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da)
    Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
    Submitted for your approval
    One Mr. Miller, who's about to take a trip
    Into oddness and obsolescence
    Through a zone whose boundaries are that of imagination
    Accompanying him on this journey is the mesmerizing
    Sound of the twilight tone
    On a cold and rainy night
    One Mister Miller had a rare flight
    Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm
    Then the engine stopped to listen with him play that beat, oh, oh
    Suddenly he heard this sound
    This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
    Now, he resides and plays trombone
    In the mystic unknown zone
    Hearin' the twilight
    (Hearin' the twilight)
    Hearin' the twilight
    (Hearin' the twilight)
    Hearin' the twilight
    (Hearin' the twilight)
    Hearin' the twilight
    (Hearin' the twilight)
    Hearin' the twilight
    (Hearin' the twilight)
    Hearin' the twilight

    Imagine, in 1979, to get the idea of making a tribute song to the Twilight Zone - a show that ended over 10 years ago, and wasn't about to be rebooted in a few years yet. And then do it, 'cause why not? That's why I love Manhattan Transfer.

    • @bobbuethe1477

    Written by Jay Graydon and Alan Paul. Graydon plays the guitar solo. A prolific songwriter and session musician, Graydon also played the guitar solo on Steely Dan's "Peg," which is a hell of a story unto itself.

The mystic qualities and surprises here unquestionably, undoubtedly gave Rod Serling, favorite son of Binghamton, solid ideas and much material for his series.

I was immediately transported back to my bedroom overlooking the hill sloping up at the back of our house on a Sunday, listening to the radio. The singing and harmonizations are simply superb. The video is of its day, but doesn't detract from the experience of the track.

    With a key, you unlock a door to imagination
    Beyond it is another dimension
    A dimension of sight
    A dimension of sound
    A dimension of mind
    You're moving through a land of both shadow and substance
    Of things and ideas
    Guiding you through this wondrous journey
    Is the hypnotic sound of the twilight tone
    When I hear this melody......This strange illusion takes over me
    Through a tunnel of the mind.......Perhaps a present or future time oh, oh
    Out of nowhere comes this sound........This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
    Pyramidal locomotion......From this mystic unknown zone
    Hearin' the twilight.......Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
    Unpretentious girl from Memphis.....Saw the future through her third eye.......People came with skepticism
    Picking, testing her precision, no, wo, oh, oh........Suddenly they heard this sound
    This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round.......A signpost up ahead is calling......From the mystic unknown zone
    Hearin' the twilight
    Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm
    Hearin' the twilight
    Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da
    Hearin' the twilight
    Twilight tone
    Hearin' the twilight
    Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm
    Hearin' the twilight
    Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da
    Hearin' the twilight
    Twilight tone
    On a cold & rainy night
    One Mister Miller had a rare flight
    Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm
    Then the engine stopped to listen with him
    Play that beat, oh, oh
    Suddenly he heard this sound
    This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
    Now he resides and plays trombone
    In the mystic unknown zone
    Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight)
    Hearin' the twilight (the twilight, twilight)
