Song 427 ( Electric Light Orchestra - Here is the News )



It hit me today that I had not chosen this song yet and the melody has been running through my mind for quite some time now. The sound of the song is a bit dated because it is mostly keyboard driven with the early 80's synth.
For the most part, the entire Time album is a musician's album.
The song is about a post-modern newscast from the year 2095; the year in which the protagonist of the story is. The concept album: Time is written about a man from 1981 who gets abducted by people from the future and is forced to live in the year 2095. This track, which is later in the album, kind of gives the feel of daily life for the main character who is watching current (future) events on the news and feeling more out of place; at the end of the song he laments again that he wants to go back to his own time.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
