dbo:abstract
"The Way Life's Meant to Be" is a song written by Jeff Lynne and performed by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). The single peaked at number 30 on the German Media Control Singles Chart. "The Way Life's Meant to Be" was the first song recorded for Time, a few months before the main recording sessions. The song is track five on the 1981 album Time and was the last track to be released as a single from the album in the UK. It starts with gentle violins, and continues with flamenco-like guitar playing, and castanets. The south Mediterranean sound continues throughout the vocal and choiring on the refrain. Continuing the theme of time travel, the lyrics deal with the protagonist's Future Shock at seeing his town over a hundred years later, and his disappointment at how the future is not nearly as utopian as the people of 1981, himself included, had predicted. It was the first single since "Nightrider" in 1976 that failed to chart in the UK. The B-side was "Wishing" taken from the Discovery album. The song was recorded at the Polar Studios in Stockholm, unlike the majority of the songs of the album that were recorded at Musicland Studios in Munich. It seemed to be [a pessimistic view] on that song. Yeah, well, in that particular song he's like walking down the same street that it was before, like say a hundred years before. But uh, even though he's on the same bit of ground, everything that he knew is like, buried under this new shit, y'know, that's growing up on top of it, all these plastic ivory towers and stuff. Ah, the castanets. It was a bit Russian but we put castanets on it and it became Spanish. — Jeff Lynne (1981 – Interview with Jim Ladd) According to ELO drummer Bev Bevan, the castanets and acoustic guitars in layers were intended to give the song a Phil Spectorish wall of sound feel. «The Way Life's Meant to Be» es una canción del grupo británico Electric Light Orchestra, publicada en el álbum de estudio Time (1981). La canción, compuesta por Jeff Lynne, fue también publicada como el cuarto sencillo del álbum en el Reino Unido, tras «Hold on Tight», «Twilight» y «Ticket to the Moon», en marzo de 1982. Grabado en los Polar Studios de Estocolmo a diferencia del resto del álbum, que fue grabado en los Musicland Studios de Múnich, fue el primer sencillo de la ELO desde «Nightrider» (1976) en no entrar en la lista británica UK Singles Chart. Publicado con «Wishing», una canción del álbum Discovery, como cara B, solo entró en la lista alemana Media Control Charts, donde alcanzó el puesto 30.​ En una entrevista con Jim Ladd en 1981, Jeff Lynne comentó sobre la canción: «Parece haber un punto de vista pesimista. Sí, bueno, y esa canción... Está caminando por la misma calle de antes, como cien años antes. Pero, incluso aunque está en el mismo trozo de suelo, todo lo que conoció está como enterrado bajo esta nueva mierda, ya sabes, que está creciendo... por encima de esto, todas estas torres de plástico. Ah, las castañuelas. Era un poco ruso pero pusimos castañuelas y se convirtió en española».
