thanks digidave for posting this video... there was a time when i used to listen all day long to ELO, Barclay James Harvest, Supertramp, etc... I think i was born "sad"...:( and "happy", at the same time... :)

The most obvious context is the one in relation to the whole theme of the album "Time" - the hero finds himself waking up in a future he does not recognise, and while initially amazed by what he sees, he yearns for the woman and life that he left behind. He then finds out he is being kept captive in the future and cannot return, only when he tries to escape is he told by his captors that he will only be returned once he sees how decisions made in his time have shaped the world he lives in now.

Stumbled on to this videa by accident. Simply put...Brilliant.
A slight correction to a previous coment...Great homage to Jeff's homage to Lennon...

@cbennett196631

I’ve never heard that this was a Lennon homage..

Thank you. 21,000 views and you're the first person to point out the Hugh-Still-Wanda gag. Glad it wasn't wasted! (But is it worse than Ewe-Steel-Wonder?)

@snorresvei18b

This is a great song. The album "TIME" which this songs from is just great work:-DD

@digidave001

Thank you. I'm glad it wasn't wasted!

@shoolie3333

Oh, and in the full song, you can hear some of the song backwarded in the end. Backward music was something Lennon was really interesed in, and he actually invented it. (Rain is the first song in the history of music to include backward music)

@billoon45

14y

first time hearing this song, nice one :)

@luckypenny212

13y

A penny in your pocket, suitcase in your hand..I love that line.. This song sounds like a Beach Boys song. I wonder if ELO ever hung out with them since Paul McCartney used to.

@MarekKrol67

Moja kuzynka GABI prawie 30 lat temu poraziła mnie ich muzyką. Chociaż nasze relacje są już inne, to zawsze chciałbym wrócić do tego czasu. Wtedy 21 wiek był tak odległy, teraz mamy dorosłe dzieci i mam nadzieję,że będą słuchać naszej muzyki, bo ona sprawia, że jestem radosny i dobry dla innych.

@lilacgirlie

16y

Great stuff, must have taken you ages to do this, goes really well with this lovely song :) Thanks for posting, I love ELO

@jafalad

16y

Wasn't this the b side to Ticket to the moon? I loved that song but remember playing this too...takes me back to 1981/2 as well. Funny how music can be used to associate where you are in your own life.

@antoinekiwi2

13y

@gtk477 That would explain the 'homage' - thanks for that.

@peterbarby9251

A very clever video, David. Like watching a Pans People dance routine (only much better) ;-)

@1silverball

Was that Wanda Ventham from UFO?!! You still Wanda the fields of tomorrow! THAT is awesome! If I wasn't a fan of UFO I would have missed the connection! What a creative video as homage to Jeff Lynne and one of the best ELO tracks from the album (Time) from 1981. Bravo!

@digidave001

You betcha ;-) It warms my heart every time someone enjoys one of my little jokes.

@antoinekiwi2

13y

@TheCoachmann Whether Mr Lynne is trying to emulate John Lennon or not, I was struck by the similarity between the "though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow" bit of this song - brilliant song, by the way - to part of the melody to #9 Dream, by none other than John Lennon - coincidence? Maybe...

@adjectivenowpronoun

13y

WOW!

@steveasat2

15y

This sort of thing only works when it is very well done. So I was rather surprised to find that it worked. Full marks. Someday, though, you will suffer for hugh-still-wanda.

@shoolie3333

15y

It also sounds like an obvious Beatles and Lennon style song. Listen, he's even singing in the chorus in a clear John Lennon imitation! And "one day you're a hero, next day you're a clown" somehow reminds me the Working Class Hero lyrics style...

One day you're a hero Next day you're a clown There's nothing that is inbetween Now you're a 21st century man.

@dalequio7960

@zekethefreak61

15y↑1

Lennon references...in my opinion: 1) One day you're a hero (Lennon with the Beatles thru '66 or so)...next day you're a clown (Bed in for Peace, Bagism, etc) 2) You should be so happy, you should be so glad...why are you so lonely (after the Beatles) 3)...They kissed the ground you walked upon (Bealtes fame) 4) Pick up your penny and your suitcase, you're not a 21st Century Man (He was assassinated...he never made it to the 21st century). There's more but I'm out space here...

@digidave001

15y

but you must give me credit for squeezing 'Wanda' in with the lyrics... :-)

twilight album, good memories

@FinnMove

15y

I disagree. The lyrics are an excellent view about human kind who has become a stranger to itself. A modern man who doesn´t know himself anymore. But who knows you´re right too. The lyrics are not always meaning exactly only one thing.

GREAT vid! Why dont they make music as atmospheric, and with feeling as this any more!? I was only about 5 or 6 when this came out. Christ I was born in the wrong era! Wot did I get assaulting my ears as a young bloke? Spice Girls, Take That, Boyzone n Simon Cowell shite!

@cosbyikaev6860

I thought it was John Lennon, but it was Jeff Lynne the most 5th missing link of the Beatles
