Higher and higher baby!! It's a Livin' thing! What an inmortal chorus man. And the violin's plucking (don't know if it is right said). An amazing classic and a beauty. That's with ELO. Pure magic. The ELO began with a lot of orchestral instruments in their songs, mixed with blues and rock&roll, some darker songs, progressive, balads and somehow they did a successful evolution to a kind of Disco music during the Bee Gees era; I think earlier. I was a little kid. But this song is much earlier than that. Also their album Discovey ('79) is like a legendary pre Disco album. You have to react to Last Train to London. You will be dancing, for sure. Regards from Chile!!

OMG. What are the odds that you stopped the song the first time right before the the intro ended. Here I am waiting with a huge smile on my face for what's coming and then you stopped it!!!

For an upbeat number, Livin' Thing is actually about depression and loss. ELO frontman and songwriter Jeff Lynne wrote it after he was suffering from food poisoning, and it inspired him to write about how easy it is to take happiness for granted. Although he later said in an interview, "I wouldn't want anyone to think it's about a bad paella on a Spanish holiday." Thanks Jeff 🤣

I don't care too much for rap, but I kept seeing Tom Macdonald show up on your channel so I gave "Fake Woke" a listen. Those lyrics were so hard hitting truth that I listened to all of his tracks on your channel. I bought his album just to help that artist thrive!! I can't wait for when you discover the likes of Steely Dan (Sign in Stranger, Show Biz Kids, Do it Again) or Robin Trower (Blue Soul, Fine Day, Time is Short).

I bought Out of the Blue next and then in '79 Discovery. Filled in the rest after that and eagerly awaited Time. I have to say that from Face the Music through Time was their golden era. And I'm crediting the addition of and contributions from Kelly Groucutt as the reason. Said it, believe it.

Jeff Lynne is a musical genius. You can't go wrong with anything by ELO. I would definitely recommend listening to Jeff's version of Telephone Line from Wembley in 2017. It's unbelievable -- not just the vocals which are INSANE but the music and light show. Please check it out. Also for happy music from ELO, you have to check out "Don't Bring Me Down." I'd also suggest my favorite happy song ever -- Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now." You can't help but feel great and dance to it. And for more orchestra sounds, go to The Moody Blues. "Nights in White Satin" and "The Voice" are my favorites. Your reactions are my favorite 10 minutes of the day!!
