Electric Light Orchestra - Secret Messages Lyrics






A moving stream of information
That is floating on the wind
The secrets never end
And now they call,
They sing, they play, they dance
For you, from out of the blue,
What can you do?

[Chorus:]
The secret messages are calling to me endlessly
They call to me across the air
The messages across the atmosphere
They whisper in your ear, they're calling everywhere

Where words cascade like rainbows tumbling from the sky
Then I'll be there, I'll be there
When messages will call to you their secrets all around
Without a sound, they're all around

[Chorus]

Those secret messages that spill into the air from far away
So far away
A flowing river of illusion running with confusion
Never gone - it goes on and on

[Chorus]

  1. J.... F....

    2:08 - 2:15 LOVE that solo

    I love that syncopated beat. ELO are musical all-stars, and they know how to peddle every trick in the musical book, to perfection.

    A.... G....

    But Jeffrey Lynne don't know to read sheet music.

    A.... G....

    @Show me your mammary glands! You don't have to read music to be able to perform, and that's the essence of it. All you need to do is appreciate the pleasure derived therefrom. Besides, back in the day, he had Louis Clarke to worry about arrangements etc.

  4. P.... O....

    ELO ahead of their time... Prophetic messengers.

  5. N.... F....

    Jeff has that look "uh let's get this over with I gotta lay down some tracks in the studio"

    Tema interessante. Melodia fraca.

  20. B.... I....

    Cringe worthy

  21. E.... S....

    This was the first CD (Compact Disc Digital Audio) I listened to. On my Philips CD100.

  22. J.... L....

    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!

  23. K.... H....

    Music OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!

  24. S.... B....

    Underrated album. Excellent music. And this is one of the best song.

  25. P.... S....

    People don't look right wearing aviator sunglasses, except Jeff.
    Fan since i were a nipper, and i don't remember ever seeing his eyeballs.
    Such an underrated cut.

  26. f.... ....

    наконец-то я нашёл эту песню, которую слушал в детстве на кассете.
    теперь надо списать слова, чтобы выучить и подпевать.

  27. D.... G....

    Love this song and didn’t ever remember a video for it. Thanks for posting

  28. g.... ....

    83... мне 13...что со мной было когда я услышал этот альбом...

  29. W.... B....

    They're playin' in the park without amps? Nobody else will get away with a sound like that doin' this.

  30. R.... ....

    Even with the Beatles and the Stones I can find some songs I don't like. But with ELO, I can't find one. Jeff Lynne is an ET.

  31. C.... G....

    I can't get over how perfect the tone is for every instrument. The heavy chugging guitar underneath throughout, the clean shimmers, the vocals harmonizing...all in perfect place.

    C.... G....

    perfect in every way

  32. �.... �....

    Эх молодость.слушаю как в первый раз))))).

    Впервые послушала. прилипла. Это шикарно!!!!!

  45. B.... F....

    the best!

  46. S.... ....

    This was ELO's answer to New Wave music at the time.

  47. C.... ....

    Interesting that most of the comments now are about ELO touring, thanking parents for playing ELO music; when this video was first on youtube most of the comments seemed to be about the beautiful Sophie.

  48. G.... T....

    Well this is rubbish

    G.... T....

    Compared to?

  49. D.... V....

    Great great song!

  50. �.... �....

    For me, this is the best composition of ELO, fully reflecting the whole magic essence of their music.

  51. R.... M....

    Secret Messages from the lp "Secret Messages" (1983).

  52. A.... C....

    Always takes me back to my 6th form days doing my A levels in 1985!

  53. A.... S....

    antes que se masificara el internet jeff ya lo sabia?.....este tipo es de otro mundo.

  54. i.... n....

    Poland loves ELO & Jeff Lynne

    i.... n....

    Is the ELO popular and well known in Poland?

    i.... n....

    In 80's was very popular thanks to radio moderator called Marek Niedzwiecki and his "hit list of program trzeci".
    In polish radio still you can hear ELO's evergreens - Hold on Tight, Living Thing, Rock and Roll is king, Calling America, lastly I heard even Train of gold..
    :)

  55. S.... B....

    The best part to me is that the lyrics might be sad-ish, but the music is so upbeat. It’s kind of like my personality.

    S.... B....

    Please checkout my music list called Bitter-sweet vibe music list.  But if you need a positive vibe checkout my Smooth Jazz - upbeat music list.  Enjoy.

  56. K.... B....

    Super Song, das war noch Musik zum anhören.

  57. r.... b....

    Excelent

  58. O.... N....

    i miss this time

  59. r.... ....

    6 disc cd player in my Tacoma.
    This song is: Disc 4 / track 1.

  60. G.... P....

    Time album???

  61. S.... K....

    The Morse Code dits and dots played in the song I told my Mom “it’s spelling ELO” when I was about 5 and she didn’t believe or understand what I was talking about until years later when the band was discussing the album and that particular song. She then told me later “Rena, you were so smart for your age, it blows my mind!” ^_^;

  62. N.... ....

    The beginning of this song sounds like Pink Floyds Astromine Domine!

  63. m.... ....

    Jeff Lynne is my Hero! Love ELO!!!!!!!!

  64. m.... v....

    Forever... ti amo, E.L:O.

  65. G.... F....

    Grazie Jeff la tua musica non finirà mai di stupirmi

  66. D.... H....

    This might not sound like a good idea to a lot of Elo fans, or maybe it could, a Jeff Lynne ,Kate Bush , collaboration.... Theres got to be a good song in that...

    D.... H....

    That's a Brilliant Idea. But I think it's probably 10 years too late.

    D.... H....

    That would be awesome. Kate was a fan of Steely Dan, but I imagine she has heard and appreciates Jeff Lynne's genius as well.

  67. D.... H....

    There's no mistaking the Genius of Jeff Lynne , the lyrics, the music, got it all..endless longing in his songs...

  68. S.... T....

    why did you cut the song? why not from the beginning?

    S.... T....

    the intro of secret messages is suppose to go with the outro of the last track "Rock n roll is king". So including the intro will be kind of weird, unless they put the entire album in one video... xD

    S.... T....

    This is the radio edit of the song and the music video just followed suit.

  69. J.... G....

    Space Beetles

  70. M.... V....

    ..es como viajar al pasado...de la mejor manera...guau..😎😎

  71. D.... D....

    Happy Birthday to You(Mr.Jeff Lynne) & Happy/Safe/Fun Holidays Too! You Rock & Thank You for Your Music! Awesome!

  75. T.... F....

    Probably my favorite ELO album. Jeff Lynne is a genius.

  76. M.... ....

    Turn up your speakers, boys and girls of the 80s! And Merry Christmas 2018 to everybody!

  77. J.... G....

  80. B.... B....

    Hey.... Very cool ...am I late

  81. P.... B....

    Thank you, ELO.

  82. C.... B....

    The last promotional video to feature Kelly Groucutt on bass. Interesting to note since its been cited that he did not play on this track. I wonder if the riff between him and Jeff had already begun or if it was just on the brink. He sure is missed.

  83. C.... X....

    Best Music ever from the 70s and 80s ELO

  84. j.... h....

    i love that...mystery.. come thruth.

  85. m.... c....

    Always the best

  88. M.... ....

    One of the models look like Carrie Fisher.  Is that her?

  89. P.... W....

    love ELO!! So many good song✌

  90. F.... B....

    One of my fave ELO songs, BTW and totally underrated.

  91. F.... B....

    1:03 - 1:07 Illuminati confirmed? Still doesn't change my respect for Jeff Lynne and his awesome genius. He strikes me as the type who, if he was forced to go through one of their rituals to become famous, he would probably be hating every minute of it. My feeling is, because he never really cared much for fame, probably stayed as far away from those clowns as much he possibly could. Jeff Lynne was all about the music and not the fame or money. It really showed in his craftsmanship...

    F.... B....

    Floyd Brennan this song itself is somewhat about all of that.

    F.... B....

    Very good said, Floyd Brennan. I second that.

  92. J.... V....

    He is Allah, sending messages to himself in our hearts. He is stuck there against his will for the entire life of everything that is alive.

  93. m.... p....

    is  very very  beuty orchestra!!!!

  94. G.... M....

    E L O... FOREVER

  95. S.... B....

    Just listen to this, a human could not produce this, he's from somewhere else.

    S.... B....

    Stuart Bailey he’s an alien...or god...or both

    S.... B....

    @The Moment Both.

  96. J.... ....

    Great song! Says a 16-years old male from Finland.

    J.... ....

    Torilla tavataan.

  97. t.... ....

    Talk about secret messages, I keep seeing the number 333 and this track is 3.33 minutes long!!!
