Don't Bring Me Down-Electric Light Orchestra

Just for fun.
I made this using Windows Movie Maker, this is to let others see what can be done with free programs and this is my first attempt at such a project.
As time goes along, I am working on other projects when I have free time.

DONT BRING ME DOWN WAS RELEASED IN 1979 ,

[@MusicLover10538]

From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I just saw them this Summer of 2019 on the US and Canada Tour...( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agree they are the best live act in the world and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. They are in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO! Please Tour in 2020! I just bought Jeff Lynne's ELO new Album released Nov. 1st 2019...Awesome.

[@stevepayne3745]

You are exactly right; nothing comes close to Jeff Lynne's musical genius!!! Period!!!!! I also loved Dave Edmunds song Slipping Away....i found out over 20 years after its release that Jeff wrote and produced that song, too!!!!

The very best songs of 1979, ELO had 4 songs in the top 60 with the Album Discovery...Not bad! Don't Bring Me Down" is the band's second-highest-charting hit in the UK where it peaked at number 3 and their biggest hit in the United States, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also charted well in Canada (number 1) and Australia (number 6).

[@whitetailjedi]

I first heard this when I was about 14 in our local skating rink which was my entire universe at the time here in nowhere middle slightly south America. Hot music, soda, snacks, arcade, and girls lots of beautiful girls and a few pairs of short shorts. God, how I ever made it to the 90's with my sanity intact I'll never know... Anyways they played this song a dozen times a night and every single chair in the place was empty every time. I learned a lot about love and loss there over the years and no matter how far away those years get this song brings me right back to every sight, sound, smell, and first kiss I had at that goofy place and I am forever thankful for ELO and anyone that ever plays this song where I can hear it because the last thing I ever wanted then or now was to be brought down. So crank this up and soak up some memories and for heavens sake please please "Don't Bring Me Down!!!" Dear, Pam, Janis, Shawn, Cara, Jen, Stacy, Shanna, Misty, and Ashlee don't you ladies worry cuz I ain't forgot about y'all either! 😘🤘😎

ELO ( Electric light orchestra ) is considered by many to second only to The Beatles, pretty high compliment, they did bring out a lot of really good songs, Geoff Lynn was a musical mastermind, like Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits.

[@donaldcarey114]

The Beatles are NOT as good.

[@mervynleach1362]

Interestingly, both George Harrison and Ringo Starr went on to work with Jeff Lynne, and George was part of The Travelling Wilbury's with Jeff Lynne (writer/producer), Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan (a master group if there ever was one).
