Thanks for the shout out. I'm now 60 and ELO got me through my teen years back in the day.
"The music is reversible but time is not. Turn back, Turn back, Turn back, Turn back."

Jeff Lynne never fails to surprise. Excellent Track.
Bev Bevan's drumming is superb in this.
Jeff sure knows how to open an album.

Marisa's mouth is just open in amazement.

[Cosmo-Kramer]

Watching Marisa's face light up was worth the price of admission all by itself. Great reaction, to an iconic song. This is actually your 3rd song from, Face The Music: *"Fire On High", * *"Nightrider", * and, *"Strange Magic".* Tyler, you interpreted the album title, with its electric chair cover art/photo correctly, it means to face the music, or to pay the consequences of one's actions/words. Having said that, there's no such permeating theme through the LP, it is not a concept album. Also Tyler, whatever you did to address the audio, it worked. Sounded great. Well done, it makes a big difference with respect to our enjoyment of the songs. So whaddya say, are you two ready for what many consider as Jeff's magnum opus, the concept album, Eldorado?!? If so, remember that your 1st reaction would include the first two tracks, *"Eldorado Overture", * and, *"Can't Get It Out of My Head".* And also, you will both need to read the lyrics as you listen to the songs, and then analyze them in your reaction. Whatever you miss, or misunderstand, we'll fill you in with in the Comments sections. But ya gotta try to analyze them, as that's the whole point of doing the album's tracks sequentially, to understand the concept behind the whole album, permeating it, as the story develops track by track by track. Are you ready?? :D

When all the children of the 60s, 70s, and 80s pass on, I hope that future generations will carry this music that I grew up with and loved, into the future. "The music is reversible, but time is not".

[DavidGraskemper]

Backward masked vocals "The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back, turn back, turn back, turn back".

I think it‘s too short! 😂 The only right comment on this!

[chronomatt]

This song is high commercial art and has a fascinating history coming at a time when Jeff perfected the ELO formula. It’s still played on Classic Rock format radio and at sports events today.

[kevinmkraft]

This song is like a rollercoaster ride!

[chronomatt]

You may want to consider “Eldorado Overture” and “Can’t Get It Out Of My Head” combo next. They’re connected songs (Overture is an intro) that must be heard together. “Can’t Get” is sublime and ELO’s first gold hit single.

[miwnamoh]

For me the adoration for ELO..it all started with this album in ‘75 when I was 16 years old🥰

[flanflinger]

Bev Bevan’s drumming is awesome on this track. I bought the album on release and loved it. There’s no theme to the album but there are some beautiful ballads on it that I’m sure you’ll get to. Loved your reaction btw.

[stevetaylor]

A barnstorming drum performance from bev beavan. The haunting crescendo gets higher to an abrupt end. Jeff's trademark, build it up, then cut it dead.

[kevingoss]

Late comment but... This is one of my all time favorite instrumental songs. Every part of it gives me chills. The different "parts", the drumming, those little parts with the choral singing... Man, I always get one long, constant chill every time I listen to this song. Loved the video, keep it up ✌️.

The more you hear this the better it gets and the more you notice

[StephenSmith-zh]

The usual reserved Marissa opens up! Love it! How can you not love this song?

[AttorneyBCollins]

The last choir part is getting clearer in their singing "Fire on High, Fire on High, Fire on High"

[roystoyscomics]

So this song contains a backwards masking track. If you had a turntable you would be able to play the record the opposite direction to hear the message. If i remember correctly it was: Our music is reversible but time is not, turn back, turn back, turn back. 😅

The time is winter of 1976, my WalkMan is on, I’m in Squaw Valley and at the top of a Black Diamond run. The tape starts to play while I look down the chute and the drop looks scary, just like the beginning of this song sounds. I mean, oh sh!t scary but I drop my skis and cut some big turns to keep my speed down. I mean I’m really trying to stay In that chute without falling became falling would not be a good thing… after a couple of minutes Im out of the chute and right sbove the moguls… then at 2:42 in the music the riff cuts in and I jam in the mogul’s just lost in concentration and feeling this song pounding me through these bumps! What an absolutely amazing memory! My knees are trashed, haven’t skied In a few decades (since snow boarders were tryin not to crash Into people In that new sport) but damn this song Is friggin awesome and the memories that go with It CBS Sports used part of this song as an intro and how can anyone NOT get totally pumped?

[thomasmorales]

I think part of this ended up as the intro to Wide World of Sports (or something like that).I remember that guitar solo and a guy falling down downhill skiing. Also, Marisa looked that that deaf toddler who got some kind of implant and heard his mom for the first time. Awesomely genuine response!

[thecringeprophet]

Evil woman is for sure the next song you guys need to hear!
