Sarhra im Denis mclaughlin you see my Scottish flags at top of the comments, we McLaughlin’s know our music, do u listen to Damion Rice? Amazing🏴🇮🇪
Welcome to the genius of Jeff Lynne! He is one of the greatest songwriters and singers of all time. Please continue to check ELO and Jeff out -- there is no bad ELO song!
The yearning in the lyric, "I'll just sit tight, through shadows of the night" implies he's been sitting in one spot all night. The beautiful heartache and frustration we have all experienced on some level. I love your reaction and response to this. You sharing your hearts here lets this amazing music live on to another generation.
Thank you so much for reacting to ELO again. The symphony and harmony are amazing. Please check out “Midnight Blue” by then. It’s really pretty! Hope y’all had a good weekend!
For us older people, reaching somebody on a telephone was hard because first of all they would have to be at home, then the phone has to be clear meaning not busy, because until car waiting came along only one person at a time could occupy the telephone line. So if you are missing somebody you’re having a fight with a girl, and all you get is a busy signal for hours, it gets very frustrating
Hi guys. As has been mentioned, they performed this song live at Wembley Stadium, and not only was it fantastic, but the light show was amazing. It also shows people dancing along in the crowd as well. I think you would love it.
Love ELO, thanks for reacting! Please go down the rabbit hole: Strange Magic, Sweet Talkin Woman, Living Thing, Mr. Blue Sky, Turn to Stone, and Hold on to Your Dreams, are all great songs.
I would hope that Jeff Lynne would see this. If he doesn't know already what he has done for us this video illustrates it quite well. He has greatly benefited the soul and spirit of every individual who has connected with his music. Telephone Line brings out absolute tears of joy in every reaction video I have ever seen. He is beyond special. The Beatles made me look up into the sky in amazement while ELO made me do the same only with tears running down my face.❤
Jeff Lynne is a musical genius ! When my brother brought this album home in the 70s, this song and Livin' Thing became 2 of my all-time faves. Gotta do those 2 from Wembley Stadium !!!
Yes, this is 1975 or 1976...pre cell phone, pre personal computer...you had to leave a message if a person had a message machine (very select few had them).
I saw ELO Live twice in the 70’s! At the Outdoor Stadium in Ca. they had a UFO being carried by a Helicopter come in and Hover Over the Stadium with blinking lights, they also had a big Purple hot air balloon with ELO on it, and an Incredible Laser Beam Light Show!! AMAZING!! Their Lead Singer-Songwriter Jeff Lynn was also a member of the Supergroup The Traveling Wilburys a band made up of LEGENDS! Jeff is a MUSICAL GENIUS!!
There you go again making my memories come up front!!....may your lives be blessed for the music that you share....I have love for you two for this!....🥰
Hello, From Chile 🇨🇱 my friends, muchos saludos para ustedes. Esta canción "Línea de teléfono" de la agrupación ELO, es increíble de poderosa y eterna, fue otro suceso mundial para ELO en 1976 , gran hit en US 🇺🇸 y UK🇬🇧 también . Favor sigan con más ELO otro hit puede ser "Shine Little love" , "Tightrope" or "Roll Over Beethoven" otros hits más reconocidos también. . Gusto en saludarlos
Jeff Lynne was heavily influenced by The Beatles (and even collaborated on various tracks with former Beatles' members)....you can really hear that influence in this magical song!
They were AMAZING in concert. And,back then,you could,sometimes sneak in a little something,something to enhance the experience 😊 but it was definitely not necessary to experience the genius of ELO! Loved growing up in the 70's. ❤
Man everytime i hear this song i think of the adam sandler movie where he calls steve Buscemi and apologizes and he puts the lipstick on 😂😂😂. First time here yall feelin the vibe fr you got my sub 😊
Next up from ELO should be Standin' In the Rain-it's the complete opposite of Mr. Blue Sky with cool sound effects and the violins sounding like rain pouring down.
RECOMMENDATION: Don’t miss out. Grew up during these great years. My opinion: A Singer so good; 2nd to Elvis. I’m sure you’ll be impressed if you haven’t checked yet. Group: The Guess Who Lead singer: Burton Cummings (Singer/Songwriter) Song: Stand Tall History: His First try after his break up with the group was a number one hit song! He just can’t miss!
elo wrote so mnay classic sounding songs in v 70s, so many hits, vis frm 76 i tink?,jeff sang vis a cple yrs ago live- try it!, vey did many stykles of music n always classical, great ibfushion of sounds, skilled compositon.
They used the American phone ring, cuz the English version wasn't as good. Jeff Lynne: Lead Singer Guitar Lyricist Composer Producer Pretty much w/o him, there was no ELO.
This is a song about being ghosted. He thought he had something special going with his girl but suddenly she cut him out of her life and stopped responding to his calls.
This song captures what it was like back when the landlines were the only way to stay in touch with someone you loved... or wanted to love...
When your parents could find you
@misterstubbs1611Less radiation bombardment to worry about your health.
ELO was in a league of its own. Jeff lynne has such beautiful and enchanting voice.
Sarhra im Denis mclaughlin you see my Scottish flags at top of the comments, we McLaughlin’s know our music, do u listen to Damion Rice? Amazing🏴🇮🇪
My dad use to listen to strange magic all the time......i miss that.his music and his presence
Jeff Lynne is a Genius.
You'll never mistake an ELO song for being someone else's work. Totally unique and wonderful 🙂
The live performance at Wembley stadium is mind blowing!
Also, Hyde Park.
I was hoping this was the Live at Wembley Video
Great song, great singer I agree with those who say Jeff is a musical genius
One of my favorite groups from the 70s. Sweet Talkin Woman is my favorite
Across the Border is pretty damn good too from the same landmark album.
Orgasmic outtro on that track too.
I love ELO! Every song they ever did was amazing! Jeff Lynne is a legend!
Welcome to the genius of Jeff Lynne! He is one of the greatest songwriters and singers of all time.
Please continue to check ELO and Jeff out -- there is no bad ELO song!
Guys it makes me so happy to see ye youngsters enjoy the sound that i have been blessed to hear for the past 47 years thanks both of ye ❤❤❤❤

The song is deep. Exactly what you both said when you miss someone you love and want to hear the person voice and tell them you miss them 💔
Telephone Line is my favorite by ELO…love this!👍👏👏💜💜

Agree!!
Better than the studio recorded version.
Love ELO, thanks for reacting! Please go down the rabbit hole: Strange Magic, Sweet Talkin Woman, Living Thing, Mr. Blue Sky, Turn to Stone, and Hold on to Your Dreams, are all great songs.
It still makes me emotional after all these years.

ELO has so many good songs, Don't Bring me Down, Evil Woman, Turned to Stone, Sweet Talkin Woman, All Over the World and so many others ❤
Jeff Lynne is a musical genius !
When my brother brought this album home in the 70s, this song and Livin' Thing became 2 of my all-time faves.
Gotta do those 2 from Wembley Stadium !!!
Another 70s great.
Sublime.
Yes, this is 1975 or 1976...pre cell phone, pre personal computer...you had to leave a message if a person had a message machine (very select few had them).
This song is so much better with headphones on. I'm so glad u experienced it. ❤
Brings me back to my younger years in the 70's.....
But so happy when I saw them in Philly, one of my bucket list is crossed off.....

Every time I listen to ELO or Tom Petty I hear , The Beatles!
I don't know about Tom Petty (maybe "Here Comes My Girl"), but ELO.....for sure!@@DaisyAnnabelle65
The song when someone realizes the break up was a mistake.
One of my faves as a little girl only to live it out when I was 19.
They were AMAZING in concert. And,back then,you could,sometimes sneak in a little something,something to enhance the experience 😊 but it was definitely not necessary to experience the genius of ELO! Loved growing up in the 70's. ❤
Have always loved this song ❤
Jeff Lynne brilliant musician songwriter producer. Just wonderful ☮️
Jeff Lynne...like Prince.....one of the Greatest Composers of our Century !

A New World Record is a perfect album.
ELO has dozens of great songs I love, but I keep finding my self drawn back to this one above all others, Thanks S&M

Back when this was written there were no texts or anything of that nature and it was much more difficult to reach someone
I was 16 years old when this album came out in 1976 still Love this album today
Wow...i feel sorry for you two...I grew up listening to music like this song in the 1970's..ELO was and is an awesome group
You need Live at Wembley.
Next up from ELO should be Standin' In the Rain-it's the complete opposite of Mr. Blue Sky with cool sound effects and the violins sounding like rain pouring down.
This albums tour was the first concert I ever went to! ELO and Starcastle!
Just remember... Jeff Lynn might wander this world in a humanly appearance, but he clearly is from somewhere else, between the stars.
ELO rules!
The best and saddest song about being ghosted lol 🤣
ELO incorporated real strings in their music, great harmonies, melodies and arrangements. Glad to see you guys enjoying it. Thanks for sharing!
Saw them live a few years ago. FABULOUS xx
Should be Sir Jef. Wake up music world , man is a pure genius 🙏🏴🏴
my 70s memories! thank you so much!
This was a fav from my high school days...so great to see you guys appreciate it ! Much love!
Seen them at Sedalia state fair a couple years ago

Smoothe

Thought it was the live version
You can hear a lot of Beatles influence in ELOs music.
ELO were the first group to use electronics in music.
Must do the live version of this song from Jeff Lynne's ELO, LIVE FROM WEMBLEY CONCERT.
I love me some ELO. Nice one fam.
☮️❤️🔥🔥🔥🎵🎶🎵...😎
Speaking of twilight yall should check out their songs "Prologue/Twilight"
They used the American phone ring, cuz the English version wasn't as good.
Jeff Lynne:
Lead Singer
Guitar
Lyricist
Composer
Producer
Pretty much w/o him, there was no ELO.
Kelly Groucott was the other voice - they harmonized so well.
This is a song about being ghosted. He thought he had something special going with his girl but suddenly she cut him out of her life and stopped responding to his calls.
Just fyi, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone
