Because this song represent the fact of remember yourself, feeling like you've been travel years to find you now, on the future. ELO songs are profoundly spiritually, a sea full of symbolism.
I know right? I ran across Daikon a few years back and was watching it, my wife of 25 years walked in, and it turns out it was her favorite song in high school. It just gives and gives. 😊
This song was stuck in my head at work today because the DAICON IV opening animation was making the rounds again online. I saw the upscaled version ages ago but I'm incredibly hyped for the cleaned up version based off the laserdisc!
I bought this album when it came out on vinyl. I was immediately blown away by this song and everything that's going on in it vocally and instrumentally. One of ELO's most underrated songs and one that everyone should check out. I'm a High School band teach and played it for my kids. Ten minutes ago 5 of them said they couldn't stop singing it! Me too...for the last 40 years. :)
I've been listening to classic rock for my whole short life now, but my biggest mistake was only listening to the mainstream hits of the bands I love. Ever since I began listening to and understanding ELO's more obscure and less popular songs and albums, my love for the band and Jeff Lynne has grown beyond the stars.
So many memorable track: Rain Is Falling, Ticket To The Moon, Is This The Way Life's Meant To Be, 21st Century Man, Here Is The News, Sent A Dream, Truly 2095, Light Go Down, Another Heart Breaks. Wait. I think I just listed the entire album.
Twitter in my case. I couldn't believe I didn't immediately recognize the band, but I guess that's what happens when you're rediscovering the magic of animation all over again.
The recent upgrade to its visuals allowed to notice Space Chief and the Neptunian Leader from "Invasion of the Neptune Men" in one scene. Gave my long-time MSTie heart a warm, radioactive glow~
Incredible. Timeless. "Mr. Bluesky" and other songs are great, but in my opinion "Twilight" and "Telephone Line" truly transcends. I wish some artists could live forever... If anyone has earned their immortality, it's these guys.
This song has brought so many people together.... It brings tears to my eyes that so many people young and old can come together in order to appreciate this masterpiece... those that heard it when it first came out and those that found it more recently, we can all jam together. I hope whoever reads this far into the future even after I’ve grown old and passed away can use this song as I and many others have to get through everything that life has to throw at them. You’ve got this! Memento Mori, and live your life to the fullest possibility!
My reason for discovering the band is quite stupid I'll say. It was from hear the mr blue sky among us meme too many times, and deciding to listen to the whole song. Fell in love with the song. Didn't want to taint my love by listening to more of their music. Watched a video where a guy explains the writing of mr blue sky, and in the video he talks about the rest of the concerto for a rainy day. I decided one day to listen to it. Eventually I moved from listening to thr concerto to listening to the whole album. Then, I listened to a new world record. I bought a new world record on vinyl. Then out of the blue. I Got into some of there more popular songs. I got their first album on vinyl. Then listening to them sprouted into a rabbit whole of 1970s rock and disco. I got into the bee gees, klaatu, and even the beatles later albums from the late 1960s. Then, I started listening to the album this song is off of, and it changed my view of elo. I got it on vinyl too, along with sgt pepper and spirits having flown on unrelated notes. I got their greatest hits record, got a cassette of the classics, and started listening to their new stuff. I've even grown to appreciate balance of power. Anyway the point of all this is to show that some one can relatively naturally come to liking such an underrated band. Oh and the stupid amongbus memes weren't entirely the reason. I had heard mr blue sky on the radio a multitude of times, as well as don't bring me down.
ELO was my Dad's generation. I grew up in the 80's & 90's and found them on my own (and claimed them as my favorite band), now my kids listen to them and love them as well. Timelessness can never die.
I must have listened to this song and album a million times back in high school, cruising the block in my 68 Camaro with this playing in my crappy cassette deck.
I discovered it later... I had heard it a few times when I was young and enjoyed it but it wasn't until I re-discovered it when I was around 14 or so that I really got into it. It became one of my all time favorites and it is my favorite ELO next to Eldorado. Underrated album but glad to see a lot of people have found a fondness for it.
A cassette deck you say you guys haven't lived until you had to live life with an 8 track player. Many a time cruising down the road with my trusty 65 Chevelle SS with a cold one between my legs while trying to adjust the tracking on the tape by slipping a match book cover underneath the tape.

The first time I listened to this I felt my feet leaving the ground, I felt I wast just flying! and still have the same marvellous sensation. TY Jeff!!
It's funny. I feel like I'm the only one who came here to hear this song again and _then_ found out about the Daicon IV animation. Not even complaining. That was fucking awesome
I'd like to thank my parents for introducing me to ELO, not only is this one of my all time top songs, it also got me introduced to Anime and the beautiful work of Hideaki Anno and the absolute master-piece that is Neon Genesis Evangelion.
According to the Rock and Roll Encyclopedia, this album was the start of the major decline in album sales for ELO. Their massive appeal hey-day was over. The foolish general public! The next two albums, Time and Secret Messages were total masterpieces! The masses truly missed out on absolute gems.
I have no idea how people didn't buy this album. Time, in my opinion, is one of the all-time great albums -- there's very few theme albums that work half as well, and even fewer that have _every_ song on them be worth listening to on its own. I can't think of a single song on this album that I wouldn't listen to all the way through to the end.
@@InchonDM the album came out in 1981 when I was in the 8th grade it sure takes me back to junior high and everything a 14 year old boy goes through at that age.10 years later I had a 77 Camaro and l loved playing this tape while I drove my Camaro
@@billkeithchannel Definitely your conspiranoic channel and the fact being conspiranoia fanatic has to do everything with your opinion, no wonder about your shitty opinion.
I was a big ELO fan in the mid-1970s, but "Discovery" turned me off at the time because it was too disco, and that biased me agasint their subsequent records. Funny how things that seem so life-and-death when you are a teenager (Rock and Roll versus Disco) seem so stupid now-.
Elo's albums are great. unfortunately a Lot of the pop tracks are the ones that get played on the radio. In my opinion the really good tracks get overlooked. For those interested, listen to Elo's third album " On the third day". It's a masterpiece. Love you Jeff!
I agree. They had a peak period in the On The Third Day, Eldorado, Face the Music period, and I kind of lost it with Disco?-Very and Out of the Blue, but I think Time was a late flowering where things came together again. I also quite liked Secret Messages.
It's kind of bittersweet: old fans of ELO back in the day are being reunited with their favorite music through the internet, and the younger generations that would never give their old folks the time of day are picking up the bits and pieces of the 80's through AMVs. It seems that the things we love outlast us all for a change.

For some reason back then, the radio didn't seem to play a lot of ELO after 79 or 80, or even more than a few of their popular songs songs. We had no way of knowing unless a D.J. announced the name, found it by accident, or someone we knew had an album or single. Now I can go back and scrub what all the radio stations wouldn't or didn't play, and there is a lot.
Thanks to Hideaki Anno with is short film Daikon IV without him and the drama Densha Otoko i probably never heard this amazing band, Jeff Lynne and Elo band are so underated, Time is a masterpiece album like so many other they made, it's crazy they begin in the same era that band like the Beatles or the Doors, also lesser know like Spark from the Mael brothers.
I came here from a vinesauce video in 2015 when I was 10. Never heard of the band but only liked this song. Didn’t care much. This Tuesday, I will be seeing ELO in concert, and over the years I am grateful to have learned much more from them!
This is the magic of Jeff Lynne. He cant read music, but he makes gorgeous music. I cant stand disco, as a rule. But i love every song Jeff has ever done that has even the most remote disco feel or sound to it. Does it all go back to him not reading music? He knows no limits, so my hearing appreciates his non limits? Whatever it it, i still dont like anybody elses disco music. Jeff is just that uniquely talented.
I like in the final verse, 2:51 onwards, how they really rinse it out on the backing vocals saying: "twiliGHTTT". Giving it that little oomph pitching it up.
I felt an urge...one day...to listen to an old ELO song. Turns out it took me down a rabbit hole and I've been humming songs for a couple of weeks now. It's kind of a thing in my head ATM. Not complaining at all. This music makes me feel happy.
Die Schallplatte besitze ich noch heute - vom Taschengeld habe ich mir seinerzeit diese gekauft. Glücklicherweise hatte mein Onkel mir wenige Monate zuvor, seinen Schallplattenspieler geschenkt, sodass ich alles über den Radio-Receiver und den Lautsprechern, auch abhören konnte.

E.L.O. never changed their style very much and that was fine with most of their fans. This only went to #38 but who cares. (DJs must have been sleeping) Another great number by Jeff Lynne & Co.
Man, every time I listen to this song I imagine me flying and fighting copyrighted enemies alongside a traveler who came from a Radish-shaped spaceship. (Yes I came here because of the DAICON IV Opening Animation)
Right here. I had heard of ELO before that though from an old friend and then heard some more on a plane Journey from Japan to L.A. I did not seek out albums from that point, but I will now.
This is a song that skips merrily through my life at the oddest spots- "Undocumented Features", DAICON III/IV, even a small purple unicorn. It's still a message from another time...
Wasza praca muzyka,to jest nie tylko muzyka to jest cudowny spektakl,tak bardzo dziękuję,że mogę słuchać ,słyszeć, coś tak zjawiskowego.Dziekuje,pokłon.Paula.
Impresionante, yo escucho Prologue y Twilight juntas y cada vez que lo hago siento que vuelo, salgo de este mundo y me hace llorar de la emoción. Ésta canción futurista me encanta es extremadamente épica y alucinante.
Why does this song feel like something I’ve been missing my whole life
So so many ELO tunes make me feel that. What a gift
Cuz you've been missing this your whole life
All their songs feel like the dreams of the future we would live in by those before us.
Because this song represent the fact of remember yourself, feeling like you've been travel years to find you now, on the future. ELO songs are profoundly spiritually, a sea full of symbolism.

ELO are so criminally underrated. Jeff Lynn is a musical rock/pop genius.
Je suis d'accord! He's the best. ;)
They are not. They are world known and have sold many million records. Underrated is an overrated word.

Why does this song scream "Nostalgia" so well?
the whole album's main theme is the passage of time and nostalgia
It's classic rock, it should make you feel human, we haven't been human for a while, we've lost the human spirit and this brings it back
Now watch the anime short Daicon IV and really feel the nostalgia, as it uses this song.
That's some musical genius right there!!
It's funny. I feel like I'm the only one who came here to hear this song again and _then_ found out about the Daicon IV animation.
Not even complaining. That was fucking awesome
I'd watch it, but I could care less about anime. I just love classic rock/ELO
I don't know what Daicon IV is, but I know I love ELO :-) Time is my favourite album.
i also knew about the anime after the song
That animation was so nicely done it made me love the song even more after watching it
You're not the only one.

The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
Am I awake or do I dream?
The strangest pictures I have seen
Night is day and twilights gone away
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
Its either real or its a dream
Theres nothing that is in between...
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.
Across the night I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here, but can you take me back?
Inside the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You lead me here and then you go away.
Its either real or its a dream
Theres nothing that is in between...
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.
(you brought me here, but can you take me back again? )
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
Its either real or its a dream
Theres nothing that is in between...
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, twilight, twilight, twilight.

I felt an urge...one day...to listen to an old ELO song. Turns out it took me down a rabbit hole and I've been humming songs for a couple of weeks now. It's kind of a thing in my head ATM. Not complaining at all. This music makes me feel happy.
Die Schallplatte besitze ich noch heute - vom Taschengeld habe ich mir seinerzeit diese gekauft.
Glücklicherweise hatte mein Onkel mir wenige Monate zuvor, seinen Schallplattenspieler geschenkt, sodass ich alles über den Radio-Receiver und den Lautsprechern, auch abhören konnte.
Haben wir Musik höher geschätzt, als es heute gemacht wird ?!
Meine Güte - waren das Zeiten ...

LYRICS:
The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
Am I awake or do I dream?
The strangest pictures I have seen
Night is day and twilight's gone away
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between
Twilight
I only meant to stay a while
Twilight
I gave you time to steal my mind away from me
Across the night, I saw your face (time)
You disappeared without a trace (time)
You brought me here, but can you take me back?
Inside the image of your light (time)
That now is day and once was night (time)
You leave me here and then you go away
(It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between)
Twilight (twilight)
Twilight (twilight)
Twilight (twilight)
I gave you time to steal my mind away from me
You brought me here, but can you take me back again?
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
(It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between)
Twilight
I only meant to stay awhile (twilight)
Twilight
I gave you time to steal my mind
Twilight
I only meant to stay awhile (twilight)
Twilight
I only meant to stay awhile (twilight)
Twilight (twilight)
Twilight (twilight)
Jeff Lynne, THE songwriting/producer of our time
The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
Am I awake or do I dream?
The strangest pictures I have seen
Night is day and twilight's gone away
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between
Twilight, I only meant to stay a while
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me
Across the night, I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here, but can you take me back?
Inside the image of your light (what!)
That now is day and once was night (what!)
You leave me here, and then you go away
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between
Twilight, twilight, twilight
I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Twilight, I only meant to stay a while
Twilight, I only meant to stay a while
Twilight, twilight, twilight, twilight
E.L.O. never changed their style very much and that was fine with most of their fans. This only went to #38 but who cares. (DJs must have been sleeping) Another great number by Jeff Lynne & Co.
Critics seriously need to take a second look at this album, phenomenal.
Or perhaps we need to look at critics.
Man, every time I listen to this song I imagine me flying and fighting copyrighted enemies alongside a traveler who came from a Radish-shaped spaceship.
(Yes I came here because of the DAICON IV Opening Animation)
Just watched Daicon IV yesterday. This song was a perfect fit for it. Although, I know it was not legally used.
Such a great piece
помню, помню...эх молодость. и сейчас голову сносит, от эмоций... суперррр
I played this song, as an instrumental, with my starry projectors. And that was awesome!😃👏
Tonight, my Norwegian Chanel nrk2 show concert from Hyde Park 2015. Amacing. Thanks Jeff
Happy 20th birthday, 4chan.
Remember, you're here forever
Bro this is UA-cam
@@Foreskin-gamer28lmao
Thank you Elo
Best band ever. Jeff lynne rules!❤
How many were led to this amazing song by the Daikon IV video?
Right here.
I had heard of ELO before that though from an old friend and then heard some more on a plane Journey from Japan to L.A. I did not seek out albums from that point, but I will now.
I can't hear this song without thinking of that bunny girl :D
Bingo
I would not know this song existed, if not for Daikon IV.

Beautiful Hall of Fame music from Jeff Lynne and ELO
The eternal genius of Jeff Lynne 😁👍
I was introduced to this song by the Transformers Lost Light trailer animation
Never stop listen to Elos music 🥰❤
Esto es música, otro nivel.
Perfección...
ELO, genialidad y visión conjugadas con un magnifico don para hacer música. Jeff Lynne que grande eres!!!...
Time is one of first and greate album i heard in my youth in SU... thanks for the music changed my life
Twilight to jest przebój wszechczasów zespołu Electric Light Orchestra z płyty,,Time,,
You have to put this album on and listen to it in its entirety to fully appreciate it.
Лучший альбом E.L.O.
I adore this song
I've been led here by my father 25 years ago. Thank you daddy!
This is a song that skips merrily through my life at the oddest spots- "Undocumented Features", DAICON III/IV, even a small purple unicorn. It's still a message from another time...
Cada vez que escucho esta musica, no puedo evitar recordar a Densha Otoko :')
A saory
KITTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
La termine hoy, me identifique demasiado con la cultura de los foros y esas cosas.
Nunca lo olvidaré
Som fantástico! E.L.O. é uma das melhores bandas que curto até hoje. Valeu!
Wasza praca muzyka,to jest nie tylko muzyka to jest cudowny spektakl,tak bardzo dziękuję,że mogę słuchać ,słyszeć, coś tak zjawiskowego.Dziekuje,pokłon.Paula.
How had I never heard this song? I love ELO but was introduced to this cause of that Daicon IV video lol regardless I’m glad I’m here
Can't wait to see them in August. _It's gonna make my whole summer worthwhile._
I discovered this song like 3 days ago and I LOVE IT!
Today is the day that I watch for the first time the Daikon IV film and that I listened to Twilight. It was a great day 🥳👏🏻
Finding this song on Densha Otoko's opening and then learn that they use this song specially to reference Daicon IV, only that made my mind blow
to start the album off with this song was fucking brilliant
This album is TIMEless
ELO really made bangers, if I could animate I'd remake the intro of Daicon with *our* Twilight.
I fully agree! :P
ELO you are not forgotten😊
Thank you daicon 4 op 💕
what a song
best pop band ever
Most definitely.
Not pop, classic rock. Pop came around in the 80s.

Impresionante, yo escucho Prologue y Twilight juntas y cada vez que lo hago siento que vuelo, salgo de este mundo y me hace llorar de la emoción. Ésta canción futurista me encanta es extremadamente épica y alucinante.
