Electric Light Orchestra ~ Turn to Stone (1978)

"Turn to Stone" is the opening track to the double album Out of the Blue. It was the first song released as a single from the LP. The single reached No. 18 in the United Kingdom charts and spent twelve weeks on the chart. Out of four singles from the album, "Turn to Stone" was the only song not to reach the top ten in the United Kingdom singles charts. The song reached No. 13 in the United States and number nine in Canada in early 1978.
The song was composed in Switzerland during Jeff Lynne's two-week writing marathon for his double album. Lynne played the Moog bassline of the song.
On 4 November 2008, Lynne was awarded a BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.) Million-Air certificate for "Turn to Stone" for having one million airplays.

When I hear ELO I’m back in high school! Great times and Great band! If I could go back, I wouldn’t mind turning to stone and stay there. 😊

A whole lot of color here, a snappy beat, and lyrics of action to balance the weight of 'turning to stone', Georgy. In this time in which so many are not coming back, it did my heart good to view and listen to the contrast of it.

You’ve made this gal smile 😀 again. Well Done 👍
E.L.O. Are definitely “my cuppa’ tea”.
You’ve done yourself proud with this fabulous colourful array of music 🎶 notes together with the wonderful whirlpool.
Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan certainly know their musical 🎵 talents together with the other members of the band.
I love ❤️ the E.L.O. Spinning Discs very cleverly put in.
I can’t let the boy’s descants go unnoticed either.
I absolutely cannot fault anything on this video crammed full with good stuff.
The lyrics too are so well written down.
Faultless, in my opinion.
I’m exhilarated by this wonderful sound (at times classical).
Phew …. Where do you go next time. !!! I’m very happy with your choice … but can you beat this Fabulous band, It will be difficult but achievable, possibly hmmm 🤔
My faith has returned. Ab. Fab.
Perfection !!! I’ve turned to stone now speechless.
Thank You 🙏
