My favorite song from my favorite ELO album. The album is a concept album about a guy from 1981 who finds himself magically transported to 2095, and this is basically the first song to kick things off. I'm not particularly good at describing music, but the soaring "Twiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiight" in the chorus around 1:50 with the backup vocals falling and rising really hit me. The music sounds very optimistic and almost kind of magical, even though the lyrics are about the singer confused and already starting to wish he was home.

I'm only posting Twilight, but the song melds in with the Prologue before it and the track afterwards, Yours Truly, 2095. They're all worth listening to.

Also, I should probably mention anime dorks of a certain age probably know Twilight (and Prologue) as the music from the Daicon IV opening animation, which is iconic in its own right.

Great album. The whole thing was such a magical, emotional rollercoaster. "Twilight" is probably my favorite on the album, too.

I'm particularly fond of Time because I listened to this during a particularly difficult period of my life. It was like I was taking a trip somewhere else, far away from my problems for a bit.

Man im torn between Twilight and Heres The News from this album. Such an awesome album all the way through.

It's either real or it's a dream There's nothing that is in between

This album, Time is one of my most favorite works of music. I will always love the adventure on which it takes us. Thank you for reminding me of this beautiful work.
