ELO is probably the most underrated rock band in history. All their albums are pure gems.
I heard this song when I was 18 years old and am now 63 years old. After all these years, I still enjoy listening to this song.
Addicted to this song. When I want to feel good, I throw it on, and immediately, I start to feel better. Love the chorus. Amazing classic that has everything I need and the vocals are dreamy.
I've been an ELO fan since '73. It was the first vinyl album I ever bought. Pure magic for a long hair 13 year old kid.
Tengo 60 años. Tenía 21 cuando era un éxito mundial. Sin ofender a las nuevas generaciones, pero actualmente hay una decadencia musical. Saludos desde Cosamaloapan, Veracruz, México.
If you don´t like this song you should do a Covid test urgently, because one of the symptoms is lack of taste
What music truly translates into.. not the garbage we see nowadays
Loved ELO since 1977. Jeff Lynne is brilliant and way underrated.
one of the best things about 65 years old,is the fact that lived my teenage years in the 70's that is priceless and I am grateful !!!
Mi papá era camionero y cuando iba a llegar a su destino, siempre ponía esta canción para despertar a mi mamá… ahora que tengo 30, llevo esta canción siempre en mi corazón gracias a su recuerdo. 💙
I know people used to love saying 'disco sucks', but this is actually one of the best disco songs ever - it has an engaging, propulsive melody and intelligent lyrics. In its own right it's a masterpiece to boot. Far and away this is one of the best songs ever written in the late 20th century and I've always liked it and still like it many decades later.
Hace años buscaba está canción, no sabía quién o cómo se llamaba, mi papá la ponía cuando era pequeña, él falleció hace más de 10 años. Haciendo limpieza de casa con mi hija encontré un disco rayado personalizado, venía esta canción y ahora estoy llorando mientras lo recuerdo con cariño 😭 Un beso hasta el cielo al mejor papá que pude tener ❤
It was nine twenty-nine Nine twenty-nine, back street, big city The sun was going down There was music all around, it felt so right It was one of those nights One of those nights when you feel the world stop turning You were standing there There was music in the air I should have been away But I knew I had to stay Last train to London Just heading out Last train to London Just leaving town But I really want tonight to last forever I really wanna be with you Let the music play on down the line tonight It was one of those nights One of those nights when you feel the fire is burning Everybody was there, everybody to share It was so right There you were on your own Looking like you were the only one around I had to be with you Nothing else that I could do I should have been away But I knew I had to stay Last train to London Just heading out Last train to London Just leaving town But I really want tonight to last forever I really wanna be with you Let the music play on down the line tonight Underneath a starry sky Time was still but hours must really have rushed by I didn't realize But love was in your eyes I really should have gone But love went on and on Last train to London Just heading out Last train to London Just leaving town But I really want tonight to last forever I really wanna be with you Let the music play on down the line tonight But I really want tonight to last forever I really wanna be with you Let the music play on down the line tonight
We buried my father in December 2021 and he asked for this at his ceremony. What a great song to say goodbye. I grew up listening to him play ELO and their songs bring back so many memories .
In 1992 I lived in London, and when I heard this song 15 years later and closed my eyes I vividly saw London circa 1992. That experience opened ELO and Jeff for me. Thanks Jeff! -- you made my day when I was feeling good, and you help me go through a loss right now (I am crying right now. She did not deserve all this suffering, and I could do nothing to save her. I am a pathetic failure). Thank you, Jeff, you are great!
God, I miss those times...
I don't think most fans of this song realize how skilled the musicians are on this recording. The "bassline" in the verses is actually two different instruments playing simultaneously: a bass guitar and a keyboard (clavinet). The keyboardist and bassist are both playing that riff absolutely perfectly in sync with one other, which is practically impossible to do - even in the studio (Don't forget, this album was recorded with analog technology, which means they had to get the performance perfect in real life in order for it to be on the recording that way!)

Wow what a great tune. I wish I was young again!!!
Esto si es música bien elaborada y trabajada. Por eso nunca pasarán de moda.
