Like many bands of this era, ELO were just great storytellers! Look at the album cover. It shows an electric chair. Now picture this as you listen to the music... Picture a man in a cold dark cell. The man is frightened and alone. He has been condemned to die. Finally they come for him and you can hear his fear as they open the door and lead him to his fate.
All along that final walk he hears the voices of condemnation, the feels the guilt for what he has done. You hear the choir of religious folk singing the last rights or praying for his soul. Time is slipping away as he is strapped into the chair... the tension builds until finally they throw the switch and the electricity pulses through him.
We hear the spasms ripping through his body, over and over until finally he is released. He floats up out of his body, his suffering is over, but now comes the regret; the realisation of what he has lost. For a few glorious moments he relives the joy and passion of being alive until once again he is reminded of how much he has thrown away. All he has now is the memory, and the memory will sustain him and torment him forever.
Those last deep thrums of the electric guitar are both brutal and glorious.
The music is reversible. But time is not.
Turn back... turn back... turn back...
Man, I miss the storytellers!
Jeff Lynne’s creative genius created music before it’s time and is now timeless. Legend and coming from Britain deserves a knighthood
Stephen Keymer - yes, it’s almost as long overdue as The Scorpions’ induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Gorgeous! Similar to Funeral for a Friend! Good times!
One of my all time favorites! It creeps you out, then it delights you!
I adore ELO. I saw them last year!!!
The best thing ELO ever recorded
Also the front side of that 45, was SWEET TAKING WOMEN. A great song also.
ELO music is amazing!
One of the best instrumentals ever recorded!
Fantastic record! One of ELO's greats. It sounds like a battle between good and evil. Thanks for the video. Fun to see your reaction.
at the time this came along of hopla was going around about playing albums backwards so Jeff played a joke at the end of the song if you listen you can hear the Real message
This song is well made the British know how to make songs
Much love just seen you on brandon Tatum show four strong brothers 👊👊🙏🙏
I ADORE Electric Light Orchestra ELO, my favorite song of them is I’m Alive from the movie Xanadu
Harrod Paty - oh my, thank you! I’d forgotten all about that one. My favorites are Do Ya, Don’t Bring Me Down, Roll Over Beethoven and Hold On Tight. I also love Don’t Wanna, which was only from ELO Pt. 2 (some of the band members without Jeff).
I listen to that song almost EVERY SINGLE DAY’!! Lol.. And also All Over the World from the Xanadu soundtrack 😉. When HBO FIRST came out /cable did, that movie was on soooo much. And the Jazz Singer! And i was all of 7’ish, but they still make me happy to hear, as far as soundtrack’s....
nadogrl hey hey and what about The Fall.? Oh my! 🤣
Harrod Paty - I had the Xanadu album, but didn’t remember that one. Had to look it up. I like it, but not as much as my favorites.🙂
Awesome!!!
WOW flashback time for me hearing this again, so many years back walking into our local music store to buy the 45 rpm of E.L.O's Sweet Talkin Woman..racing home to put it on, my best friend and I sitting on the back veranda with ELO blasting out..Dad yelling TURN IT DOWN..LOL,But only played the B side a few times but loved it..well my head didn't start spinning 360 degrees or start talking in tongues LOL..Loved the memories hearing this thanks mate
Keep Strong Keep Safe My Dear Friend
Hey MRM, I was just watching the live stream 4 way you were in and was thinking you seemed familiar. Really love what you are doing, and your witness for Jesus. So I came over her to check you out, and realized I've watched your music reactions before. So anyway, just subbed. God bless.
The genius of Jeff Lynne!!!
and Louis Clark Senior
Some facts about Jeff Lynne (ELO)...First, he is a very humble man, simply because this Music Genius is not interested in fame, the limelight, and money, he just loves to create great music. Jeff Lynne is one of the most versatile musicians ever, this is why he is considered by his peers to be among the greatest. He didn't stick to one style of music because, after decades, it gets boring. Jeff has done progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock - Pop, New wave, and Disco. Everything he does turns to gold. He even flirted with Country music. From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world.... en.wikipedia.org/.../Electric_Light_Orchestra...
50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas, festivals and Stadiums. During Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Tour, many reviews agreed in saying they are the best live Classic Rock Band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius( From Forbes Magazine and the Washington Post). ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Songwriter award ( ASCAP ) in 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He previously has received three Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate songwriters and composers, including the award for outstanding services to British music. He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, The Beatles, and so many others... I respect the opinion of others and don't try to change their opinions but i always like to bring facts to the table.... The Beatles and ELO are my best 2 favorite Bands ever. We can praise both Bands in a very positive way. Jeff Lynne has done mainly everything by himself as opposed to The Beatles who were 4 plus George Martin to achieve basically the same thing. It Makes Jeff Lynne so unique. Jeff also made sure he had better orchestration and arrangements, thanks to Louis Clark who became a very good contributor for some ELO albums. Also, ELO has always been much better than the Beatles live. The Beatles were a fantastic Studio Band under the direction of the brilliant George Martin but they didn't tour very much in the later years because they couldn't reproduce on stage the more sophisticated albums. The Beatles live only had 3 Guitarists and one drummer. The Beatles have been the industry standard for decades and guess who influenced or inspired Them? The Beatles were influenced by Elvis, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers, Fats Domino, Ravi Shankar....Are they considered ripped off artists? Not at all! The Beatles and ELO are the 2 greatest Bands ever!!! Can't wait for Jeff Lynne's ELO to Tour in 2021 or 2022.

Performed this album in an orchestra, magnificent.
Officer Tatum send me here. Subscribed.
You don't realize it's a 12 string guitar. Thats back in the 1970s. CBS sports used that guitar riff for there them some for the CBS SPORTS SPECTACULAR show.
Excellent choice, this just happens to be my favorite ELO song. I don't remember when or where I first heard this song because it was a long time ago. My favorite part(s) of the song are the drums and then the guitar. It always makes me think of a scenario where someone is walking through haunted woods.
Glad to hear about ELO, and they still got it. Allen
Here from the Tatum SQUAD, I subscribed because we all stick together. Also loved what you said tonight on Tatum
Fire on High is an overture. It is a collection of thems from other ELO songs on the album, noticably the songs Down Home Town and Waterfall.
ELO's Face The Music is a fantastic album just like the following ones...
The beginning is called backwards masking they say ,(music is reversible but time isn't you're going the wrong way go back go back go back) this is the first track to a new world record
I Love ELO!!! They are so diverse and creative! You can hear the Pink Floyd and especially the Alan Parsons Project inspirations.
I strongly doubt that JL was inspired by APP - this song is from _Face The Music_ , ELO's *fifth* album released 1975 (with Jeff having a long history of music before that with Idle Race and the Move), and APP had their debut with _Tales of Mystery and Imagination_ in 1976. Maybe you meant the other way around?
Across the border. And so fine are my favorite E.L.O songs
Face changed from wtf to banga😂😂😂
This is the only song that didn't make it onto Dark Side of the Moon. G
Bahaha .. Ty U always make me laugh. Thnx. Awesome vid too!
Lisa I never knew that about this ELO track .. wow .. was creepy. I've always heard a lot about the Beatles album but not this one .. cool. Learn something new every day😉 Thnx Lisa .. peace out 🤘🏼🙏🏼❣️
If you enjoy instrumentals, check out Grand Funk Railroad- Flight of the Phoenix
It’s an exciting album opener that dares to do something different
New subscriber 🙂👍
What is this? Is this something from a outterspace movie? It sounds demonic.👹👹
Not sure if you're into electronic music at all, but my favorite breakbeat track of all time samples that acoustic guitar riff from Fire On High.
The sample starts at the 5:00 mark. It's pretty dope:
ua-cam.com/video/TvAX6udy_LE/v-deo.html
One of my favorite ELO songs. Wasn't released as a single (interestingly, it was the B-side of "Sweet Talkin' Woman," another ELO song you've reacted to), so it doesn't get much airplay. KSHE in St Louis used to play it with some regularity though.
I know I keep asking u to play this but it's a song about our earth. Salt water Julian Lennon. Plz. Play it u will love it. And it is about saving our planet.
Sharon Odonnell - it’s our people who need saving, not the planet.
at time 6:44 I am not kidding. I could not take anymore. I like my lyrics. lol. the music was good but I would have to have been drinking or stoned to get into it. Right now I am neither of those. It's a joke son I say it was a joke. lol. Thank you for putting out videos. I really like most of them. Have a blessed day.
Might loose a hair or two if you watch this one MRM ...... Brother stone and the get down.... strange name but they are some serious blue eyed sole. They do a great cover of Al Greens classic ... Lets stay together. And also Players Baby come back will make you do some scratching.
One of two or three good ELO songs.
ELO have a hundred great songs.
You said in another reaction (KSO) that this is ELO's only good song. Why are you saying 2 or 3 good songs now? Your credibility is next to none. 😂
Haha you look scared as fuck in the begining
Way back then, there was what was called the "Jesus freak" movement, a lot of lost souls trying to find meaning in their lives. Annd also the fringers, the loonies, and rigid hardcore, this is my way, the right way, the only way. Rock music was the Devils device for luring young, lost people away from God etc. etc . etc. So a lot of rock bands (Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Doors, ELO, Black Sabbath, and so on. Great Fun damaging our vinyl trying to find those Satanic messages that weren't there!
Haha Paul .. so true. Kurazee times😁✌️
paul hansberry - because they could see the writing on the wall. My Dad predicted 40 or more years ago the things that are occurring now.
The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back turn back turn back turn back. The beginning lyrics read/sang backwards
I wonder how many people other than me spun this record backwards just to hear that.
@@mysterymac38 Spun a lot of records backwards back then. It was the thing to do
Masterpiece!!! All out of the incomparable mind of Jeff Lynne!
ELO IS LIFE AND JEFF LYNNE IS A MUSICAL GENIUS!!!
amen!
Louis Clark Senior...
@@Astimoff Yes! Jeff Lynne was a master in creating great songs, but the influence of Louis Clark on Eldorado / Face The Music / A New World Record / Out Of The Blue / Discovery on the orchestrations has been immense.
You probably already know this, but if you can get your hands on it, Louis' album Per-spek-tive (1979) is worth a repetitive listen. It'll make you forgive him for the Hooked On Classics crap in the following years ;-)
@@avanoosterhout8397 Yes! It's on UA-cam gladly!
Absolutely right. An absolute musical genius. I think he can hold his own with any composer of the past 50 years. Easily.
IMO Bev Bevan is one of the most underrated...unknown drummers out there.
He is a very musical drummer, one of my favorites!
I remember when this guitar riff was the theme for CBS sports back in the late 70s.
"The music is reversible but time is not turn back, turn back, turn back.." Can only actually be heard if you play the old record lp and turn it backwards by hand.🎵💿⬅🕒
I think we all did that back in the day. lol.
First time I found out what it said was to record the music on my computer back in the early 1990's (Windows 3.1 days) and I reversed the track.
I remember this song being used as opening for CBS Sports Spectacular..... or one of those Sports shows.
Jeff Lynne and ELO (and other rock groups in the 1970s) were unfairly accused by religious fundamentalists of placing backward satanic messages in their music. This was Jeff’s joking way of addressing the issue with placing REAL backward messages. Jeff is actually Christian.
For something more classic, try Mr Blue Sky.
10538 Overture
Also did that with album #10 iirc, Secret Messages
Love ELO
CBS Sports Spectacular theme back in the '70s. Back about 1984 my college roommate and I spun a turntable backwards to hear it. "The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back, turn back, turn back."
Yeah, it's interesting, without knowing the background, that he likened it to a workout.
Thanks for the reminder. I couldn't remember if it was from CBS Sports or from ABC Wide World Of Sports. I recently couldn't recall. I have the immortal image of thee downhill slalom and this song being played in the background. It's right up there with music from NFL Films, Love's Theme from the Masters, and compositions by John Tesh for NBA coverage and Ironman Triathlon coverage as well.
Watching you on with Tatum and others. Thanks so much for your input.
Played backward it is, " The music is reversible, but time isn't. Turn back, turn back, turn back." You can hear it played backward at,
ua-cam.com/video/dN_M4AHvmxs/v-deo.html
Jump to 4:25 and 4:55 if you don't like sitting through the whole song.
They, Elo, added reversed parts to a few songs, just to play with the folks that thought it was 'satanic'. They wern't and their music isn't.
Anybody notice that the music video was of the sun, i.e., Fire on High. I read a high-fantasy book in high school (1970’s), and this song was on permanent replay on the record player. Perfect match.👍
Omg I love ELO how did i not know this song?? 😳 Jeff Lynne is such a damn good songwriter
hey, you talk so fast i cant understand you, im from the UK, please slow down
there are many of jeff lynnes songs that are reversed, check them out
Great reaction what a piece of music the genius Jeff Lynne thank you ❤
Feels like a little bit of hell at first but then those drums!!!!! I used to air drum to this
I just saw you on Tatem's channel. It is good to meet you. God bless.
Thank you! You too!
Very sophisticated piece.
Jeff Lynn was a hell of a songwriter and musician.
Still is, An Awesome Talent.
Electric Light Orchestra - Now you're talking!!!
matt becham - never too young for ELO!
where do you hide when MRM isnt on?
Sweet Talkin Woman was from Out Of The Blue. Fire On High was from Face The Music so they weren't on the same 45
45 is a single. So this could have been on the B side. Elo put earlier album tracks on their singles all the time.
Love ELO, they made some amazing music
I love it. Right around 5:25 this guy is hooked and in the groove and he gets it. Love to see the Electric Light Go on in a person. G
I used to do HIIT Training with my horses. It works!
The music is reversible
Time Isn't
Turn back
Turn Back
Turn Back
Turn back.
Please do Tim McGraw - One Of These Days

Has anyone suggested Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield yet?
Excellent suggestion!
Because it is backwards. The sound was reversed. If you play it on reverse mode you'll hear the phrase Time is not reversible, turn back, turn back, turn back, turn back...
Love this song!!!!!!
the religous parents have a point.there is some backmasking in the song eldorado,the part about christ is dead & many after, is pretty clear.the same with waterfall.the chorse backward repeats,all for all, we are but death.but played forward it repeats face the mighty waterfall.alot of elo's weird sounding music was actually backward cello's & violins.like the spot in the middle of evil woman.its backwards for 5 or 6 seconds.it sounds creepy.
This is not true about fire on high with santanic messages. They played it backwards for other reasons. I will explain in the next message because I am still listening to your reaction
Hello MRM, I saw you on the Bradon Tatum live show and I really enjoyed your comment to the point I had to subscribe.
Thx you so much
@@Modern-Renaissance-Man Your welcome.👍
HEY! How did you get a haircut during lockdown??
You hear him say Ebenezer Scrooge
So good to see someone react to this masterpiece. For me, the drums are everything on this song.
I Love ELO! I always feel they’re an underrated band. They have some really cool interesting stuff... and I even love their contributions to the movie Xanadu, which was played over & over again when HBO FIRST came out as THE big first movie’s only cable channel. I was a really little girl, but between that movie & the Jazz Singer, I loved the soundtracks sooo much. Hadn’t heard this in a minute, always a pleasure to! 🖤🙌🤘
IT IS a Symphony, not a song!!!
Sorry, but this is NOT a good representation of ELO, IMHO. I had all their albums back in the day, and some of their CDs now. Lots of much better songs. Loved your collaboration tonight with Brandon & the others.😊
This is by far my favorite ELO song. IMHO. I'm 62 and just tired of all their pop songs. I like the earlier more progressive stuff now.
You should try it on " quadraphonic stereo " with black light posters and a lava lamp, as God intended.😁
It ruins a good buzz. But a rotating mirror ball with that color changing light would be nice. And maybe an industrial size box of fig newtons. 😁
Thanks to the person that suggested this song! ELO was one of the few British rock bands that incorporated classical music instruments into the the rock genre. The Beatles, the Moody Blues,and Queen are some other famous examples. Used to blast this CD zipping up and down the Florida Turnpike especially on winter days when I could roll the windows down and crank up the volume! Thanks for the memories!
Lelleith Murray - looks like we have similar tastes in music! I wish that I knew people who like what I do. Sometimes I just have to go to concerts alone. 🙂
@@nadogrl Most of the artists I would love to see in concert are no longer with us,or have broken up. And then there's this accursed virus now that makes gathering anywhere difficult to do...bummer.
Lelleith Murray - Have you seen or heard of TSO? (Trans-Siberian Orchestra?). Also, my other favorite band since 2009 is MUSE.
ua-cam.com/video/YEH98_Ha2aA/v-deo.html - This is an example of MUSE, but they have MANY great songs. I too, like to play my music LOUD!
(TSO is American, but MUSE is British.)
Please react to the new Evanescence song, "The Game Is Over "
Great Tune!!!!!
The original version is even weirder and longer...and better as the strangeness of the beginning really primes you for the rest of the song. The whole album, with Strange Magic, Evil Woman, Waterfall, and other songs, is a gem and an example of when groups in Rock and R&B were always trying different things rather than just building songs around a marketing survey.
I haven't heard this song in forever. I miss KSHE.
Real Rock Radio !
Back in the 70s almost every rock record was played backward by folks just looking (looking hard!) for any signs of Satan worshipers. I seriously doubt you'll find anything on an ELO record!!! I have a few of them too, but I won't tear them up by going backward! What was I doing when I 1st heard ''Fire On High'', can't remember I was 7yo!
Hello, Ty, could you please react to "The Four Horsemen" by Aphrodite's Child? You'd like it, it's about Revelations. Thank you if you could.
Progressive rock...an acquired taste but I don't play an instrument so I can't appreciate most prog music.
There’s an amusement park in Saco Maine called Funtown USA that has a scrambler ride inside a dome. The only light is black light and they play this song while projecting creepy images all over the inside of the dome. I remember as a kid not knowing weather to think it was awesome or to be scared.
How many people knew this song was by ELO. I remember hearing this SONG years ago and liking it, even if the beginning started out a little strange. Electric Light Orchestra is so talented with many variations in their songs to enjoy. Still my favorite, their first big hit in the US, EVIL WOMAN. Now Ty, more ALL IN THE FAMILY. LOL.
Tom Odell can’t pretend is a well written song good for your playlist
Thanks for the deep cut, and for sticking with it in the beginning, when you were wondering what you had gotten yourself into lol 💕
I like this song, but it's like souse meat....made from all the left over parts.
My favorite elo tune is "four little diamonds." It's just so fun. But this is a hell of a lot of fun to play the last guitar part.
I am envious and a fan. Keep rocking your own life my brother, from a 65 yr old in Ohio. i like all your work.
It's actually, TURN BACK! Great track.
The words at the beginning are being played backwards.
