My favorite song from my favorite ELO album. The album is a concept album about a guy from 1981 who finds himself magically transported to 2095, and this is basically the first song to kick things off. I'm not particularly good at describing music, but the soaring "Twiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiight" in the chorus around 1:50 with the backup vocals falling and rising really hit me. The music sounds very optimistic and almost kind of magical, even though the lyrics are about the singer confused and already starting to wish he was home.

I'm only posting Twilight, but the song melds in with the Prologue before it and the track afterwards, Yours Truly, 2095. They're all worth listening to.

Also, I should probably mention anime dorks of a certain age probably know Twilight (and Prologue) as the music from the Daicon IV opening animation, which is iconic in its own right.
