Electric Light Orchestra - Yours Truly, 2095 Lyrics

i seriously con't believe this is from the 80s. Incredible

ELO are so beyond a hall of fame or whatever you call it... Timeless art... ;)

Just how much accuracy is there in the lyrics - not even got to 2025, let alone 2095 and almost everything has come to fuitition in one way or another!

Кто из 2020

Interesting facts - The intro of that song is a pinball machine in the studio in Germany! "Is that what you want....?" is the voice of Sandi Kapelson - Jeff Lynne second wife :)

The most Actual song these days!

Who's listening in 2095?

Exccellent..Oui.

All these years later I was just going through the very thing this song is about

2095 finally find the love of my life :(

Jeff Lynne is a Genius!

Why yes, Youtube Recommended, this is what I want.
This is what I really want.

My dumb ass has just grasped the imagery behind "she is the lastest of technology, almost mythology, but she has a heart of stone" is not just stating that she's soulless, but also contrasts cutting edge computer technology with the stone age, to hammer home that the chasm of her hearlesness is as wide as the one between those two.

Took me a minute...+ 30 years.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

some people just like robots nothing wrong with that

Anyone also resemble this to MGMT??!?! O.o

Услышал эту песню почти 30 лет назад,а наслушаться никак не могу...Звучит словно из космоса,из будущего,за душу берёт.Браво её композитору и исполнителям,привет из 2019!

Я ПОМНЮ КАК НА КАССЕТЕ НА ПЛЕЕРЕ СЛУШАЛ МАЛЕНЬКИЙ)

This would be Seven Of Nine's theme!

Genius. Genius. Genius.

>tfw your alexa doesnt love you back

*Who's listening in 2019?* As for 2095, its only 86 years away.....

if i live then im playing this on loudspeaker on new years

Me! It's even closer... 76 years.

Tom Petty, The Beatles, Joe Walsh, Bryan Adams and so many other Music Legends have said that Jeff Lynne is the best overall Musician they have ever known...Singer, composer, plays all the instruments, Producer extraordinaire and the most humble man in the Music world. Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO!

Love those strings. It's like their riding horses on a hilly path moving along

I want more elo before time takes its toll

Не знаю как сейчас, но в СССР это было божественно.. Шедевр.

It sounds from a different universe

I mean come on this is crazy fun

elo молотки всегда в актуальны

Message from the future: the social media era was when all the information was stolen by the bad guys

>tfw no 1001 iq IBM gf

Who's still listening in 2095?

oh my god how is this just... so.. epic or something?

"In the year ninety-five, ninety-five..."

"But she is an IBM" XD, okay, sure thing, Buggles

家に帰りたい家に帰りたい家に帰りたい

Multiple confirmation prompts before she'll do anything? She must be running Windows 10.

I'm thinking of the movie "She"... Scarlett's voice...

She's a Z/OS IBM 😁

Ready. For this. Jeff Lin. Must have a connection. With other. Would.

1950s: we will have flying cars in the future
2095: I drive the very latest hover car
1950s: oh cool

In the first time I heard this song is thought he said: “ maybe it’s all a gay”

An it confused the shit out of me

I think this is one of my favorite albums of all time 😍😍

'free wifi'
'free wifi'
'free wifi'
'free wifi'

Still Light-Years ahead of the technology curve!

I sent a message to another time,
But as the days unwind, this I just can't believe,
I send a note across another plane,
Maybe it's all a game, but this I just can't conceive
I drive the very latest Hover car,
I don't know where you are
But I miss you so much till then,
I met someone who looks a lot like you,
She does the things you do, but she is an IBM
She's only programmed to be very nice,
But she's as cold as ice, whenever I get too near,
She tells me that she likes me very much,
But when I try to touch, she makes it all too clear.
She is the latest in technology,
Almost mythology, but she has a heart of stone,
She has an IQ of 1, 001,
She has a jump suit on, and she's also a telephone.
Chorus
Is that what you want - is it what you really want.
I realize that it must seem to strange,
That time haz rearranged, but time haz the final word
She knows I think of you, she reads my mind,
She tries to be unkind, she knows nothing of your world
Although her memory banks overflow
No one would ever know, all she says is that what you want
Maybe one day I'll feel her cold embrace,
And kiss her interface, until then I'll leave her alone.
Chorus

Amazing song, and if you haven't, listen to this entire album! Full of amazing stuff.

' She has an IQ of 1001" Any individual who s familiar with machine language , will tell you that is an SOS in Morse code.

Просто класс

This shit fucken rocks dude, honestly 10/10 album

This is the future of music eternity of sound god bless elo

Who’s still listening to this in 2019!?!

Those with good taste

Awesome song. E L O meets KRAFTWERK.

I am , im going to 2095

Great user name

ELO was foda!

Yes , this is what i really want

This entire album is meant to be listened to on acid. Ive done it lol and it is phenominal with all the layering and reverb in the vocals. I highly suggest if you really wanna hear this the way it was meant to be heard, drop a couple tabs and experience the magic

Ух ты какая песня.....Вечная композиция!!!!!!!!!!

" Is that what you want ? "

....oh you have no idea. :ob

Mind blown.

Is that what you want?

What kind of music is this specifically?

It's hard to put into a category

Great music!

The beginning was twilight!

Best song about the potential problem with f*ckbots eva... written in 1980.

Well, there's I Love You Miss Robot from The Buggles, released in the same year. That's gotta be in second place.

Jesus, this could be a modern hit if it were released now - ELO are one of the very few late 70s/early 80s bands which sound absolutely fresh & relevant over 30 years later. Quite remarkable.

I'll be 103 years in 2095 and I will play this whole album! <3

Man, I love Kelly's bass line in this song. Jeff Lynne is truly one of the greats. A musical genius and production perfectionist! It's kind of a shame that the pop tracks are what's played on the radio. They're doing a massive injustice by not playing wonderful tracks such as this. 2018 and the music is STILL bloody brilliant! We love you Jeff. Hold on tight to your dreams:)

I was just thinking the same thing about Kelly's bass work

E.L.O. FEAT : R2-D2.

"Is that what you want?"

*looks at calendar*
Still 2018...

:(

Nobody ever notices the bassline. Although its the bassline which makes this song a miracle. And, of course, the voice encoder :D

Is that what you want?

lol IBM

Hi, this is a great song and a favourite Jeff lynne piece. Some ELO fans who enjoy this you may enjoy my synth pop album Brave New World https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXd5sy9L6GIUOTFVLNREx1iGCEwYU4i4N

RESCATE CASSETTE

Cool soung from the great 80,s !

"she is an IBM" :)

guys i think she might be a robot

Jeff Lynne's buggles impression is on point

i googled “that elo song about a computer” and this showed up

Is that what you want?

Is it what you really want?

Just tried it. That's funny.

Sounds like seven of nine

It nearly sounds like a earlier version of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjU3BtN0HiU&t=0s

this shit’s timeless we’ll be listening to this til 2095

I sincerely do not get people who disliked this video. This is ingenious - Beatles, eat your fucking heart out

she has a heart of stone.

I fell in love with this song when I was just a kid, back in the 80s. My brother recorded it on a cassette for me, and I just wore it out..

One of the greatest concept albums (IMHO)…. "...but she is an IBM!" You gotta give it to him, it seems we are closer to these songs than you could have thought (she is also a telephone!... how prophetic!)…

SATURN !

of course this sounds so futuristic, it was made 86 years ahead of time!

This album is a journey

Mousntruos de la musica ....Iconos de Rock orquedtado ...

*_outstanding_*

For me Elo (electric light orchestra) is the perfect music to listen.

Great song with a proto-techno feel.

The intro's vocal arrangement is so haunting. I wish there was more of that quasi classical/futuristic sound in music.

Listen to Muse

It is fantastic the atmosphere they create along the whole album...

I've listened to all ELO songs many times and Time album is my best. From prologue to epilogue perfectly consistent and superb songs. Hard to choose the favourite one. Hard to compare to today's stuff the artists are singing. I feel lucky I've discovered ELO years ago.

ELO Predicting the future.

Exactly. This is clearly about AI - I am shocked!

Another awesome ELO song that would be good to play showing scenes from "Her" or "Ex Machina"...

We're going to look back on the year 2095 and see something that is slightly dorky from the time where it comes from (rad to me, but to most, dorky), but it'll be completely accurate. Ivory towers, plastic flowers, tickets to the moon, robotic wives. We're already getting pretty close to that nowadays. Jeff Lynne will be seen as a sort of Ray Bradbury of music for this album in 70 or so years, mark my words. Either way, I'll be dead by then anyway unless I'm mostly cyborg, so yeah.

My opinion, but I noticed the woman the narrator comes across might have a tsundere (Japanese slang for a person who's hostile on the outside but kind on the inside) attitude when the second verse begins:

_She's only programmed to be very nice_
_But she's as cold as ice whenever I get too near_
_She tells me that she likes me very much_
_But when I try to touch, she makes it all too clear_

that's a kuudere

never heard this number before, shame on me, what a treasure!

Should take time and make the album into a movie
