[@swankeepers]

There are so many memories I have for this song. 40 years ago, rocking my 1st little baby girl to sleep. Night after night, playing this one track over and over and 'dancing' her to sleep. The biggest trick was getting close enough to the turntable to 'reset' to the beginning of this song just as it ended ("manual looping") -- being the 2nd track on Side 2 made that a one-handed challenge -- I got pretty good at nailing that start-of-track groove without waking her too much. :-)

I saw them in the 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 2022!

Hello. "Midnight blue", a precious and immortal song, recorded at Musicland Studios (Munich, Germany), owned by the Italian musician and producer Giorgio Moroder. You can see the influence of Beethoven, Bach, Wagner and Johann Strauss, in addition to that rich mix of styles, ranging from the doo wop of The Platters and The Chordettes, for example, through the sound and heritage of The Beatles, until the disco style, represented by Barry White, Van McCoy, The Bee Gees, Donna Summer (who also recorded in the same studios, like Queen, Elton John, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and many other greats) and others. There is a touch of Viennese waltz as a whole (The theme itself is a waltz, but with a slower rhythm), an iota of bolero, as well as blues, swing and the aforementioned doo wop (The influence of African music it's undeniable - I think.) All a bitterness that makes this beautiful ballad, an ethereal song and without equal. In its part of strings and choral arrangements, Jeff Lynne, its composer and main voice, Richard Tandy, keyboardist of E.L.O. and Louis Clark ( R.I.P. .), who conducted the orchestra. Kelly Groucutt ( R.I.P. ), bassist for E.L.O. , was his second voice and part of the choirs, too. Among many other details, it is worth mentioning that this song used the synthesizer, recently launched on the market at that time, the Yamaha CS-80, the same one with which he created immortal melodies, the Greek musician Vangelis; and sound engineer Reinhold Mack (who was very close, in his work, to Queen), used Sennheiser microphones, placed at different distances, in order to create a magnificent surround sound environment, similar to that of the interior of a cathedral. This is very evident, in two other ballads present in the album "Discovery" (1979), to which this song belongs, "Need her love" (With a strong Gregorian chant glaze) and "Confusion" (With a marked accent in Richard Wagner's choral work.) Lyrically speaking, in one of its parts, there is a reference to a verse from the play "Romeo and Juliet" (William Shakespeare): It says "... But what's the difference cos' they say what's in a name ..." ( "... But, how much do they look at what is in a surname ...") It is intuited that the song refers to the furtive encounter between two lovers, at the stroke of midnight, in a desolate place, which must end before dawn, so as not to be discovered by those close to them. This song was not made as a single, on either side of the Atlantic, but in Australia. Thanks for uploading the video. A hug. Greetings from Chile, South America.

I see the lonely road that leads so far away I see the distant lights that left behind the day But what I see is so much more than I can say And I see you in midnight blue I see you crying Now you've found a lot of pain And what you're searching for can never be the same But what's the difference Cos they say What's in a name And I see you in midnight blue I will love you tonight And I will stay by your side loving you I'm feeling midnight blue I see you standing there far out along the way I want to touch you But the night becomes the day I count the words that I am never gonna say And I see you in midnight blue I will love you tonight And I will stay by your side loving you I'm feeling midnight blue Can't you feel the love that I'm offering you Can't you see how it's meant to be Can't you hear the words that I'm saying to you Can't you believe like I believe It's only one and one it's true Still I see you in midnight blue I see beautiful days And I feel beautiful ways of loving you Everything's midnight blue I will love you tonight And I will stay by your side loving you I'm feeling midnight blue I will love you tonight And I will stay by your side loving you I'm feeling midnight blue

Songs from A New World Record, Out of the Blue, and Discovery are the ones I remember the most. The music of Jeff Lynne and ELO is indelible in my heart and mind.

Hay un toque de vals vienés en su conjunto , al igual que de blues , swing , y de bolero ( La influencia de música africana es innegable ) . Toda una amargama que hace de esta bella balada , una canción etérea y sin igual. En su parte de cuerdas y arreglos corales , participó Jeff Lynne , su compositor y voz principal , Richard Tandy , tecladista de E.L.O. y Louis Clark ( Q.E.P.D. ) , director de orquesta. Kellly Groucutt ( Q.E.P.D. ) , bajista , fue su segunda voz. Entre muchos otros detalles , esta canción utilizó el sintetizador , recientemente lanzado al mercado , Yamaha CS-80 , el mismo con el que creó melodías inmortales , el músico griego Vangelis ; y el ingeniero de sonido , Reinhold Mack ( Quien fue muy cercano , en su trabajo , a Queen ) , usó micrófonos Sennheiser , puestos a diferentes distancias , con el fin de crear un ambiente de sonido de catedral . Esto queda muy en evidencia , en otras dos baladas presentes en el álbum " Discovery " ( 1979 ) , al cual pertenece esta canción , " Need her love " ( Con un fuerte barniz de canto gregoriano ) y "Confusion " ( Con un fuerte acento en la obra coral de Richard Wagner ) En una de sus partes , hay una referencia a un verso de la obra " Romeo y Julieta " ( William Shakespeare ) : " But what's the difference cos' they say what's in a name " ( " Pero , qué tanto que se fijen en lo que hay en un apellido " ) Esta canción no fue realizada como single en ninguno de los dos lados del Atlántico , pero si en Australia . Qué época. Un abrazo. Saludos desde Chile , Sudamérica.

ELO really made a real effort to make albums with no filler tracks. I can only think of the story of the Beatles for comparison. Believe me (now), I have listened to every track by the ELO, and nowadays I study them like someone would study famous paintings… I wanna learn from them. AND yes, there is no longer music like this.

[@ciudad1780]

I see the lonely road that leads so far away, I see the distant lights that left behind the day But what I see is so much more than I can say And I see you midnight blue. I see you cryin' now you've found a lot of pain, And what you're searchin' for can never be the same, But what's the difference cos' they say what's in a name. And I see you midnight blue. I will love you tonight,and I will stay By your side,lovin' you, I'm feelin' midnight blue. I see you standing there far out along the way, I want to touch you but the night becomes the day, I count the words that I am never gonna say And I see you midnight blue. I will love you tonight,and I will stay By your side,lovin' you, I'm feelin' midnight blue. Can't you feel the love that I'm offering you, Can't you see how it's meant to be, Can't you hear the words that I'm saying to you, Can't you believe like I believe, It's only one and one it's true Still I see you midnight blue. I see beautiful days and I feel beautiful ways Of loving you,everything's midnight blue. I will love you tonight,and I will stayBy your side,lovin' you, I'm feelin' midnight blue.

The Brits have given the world some wonderful music

[@gracebarzyz5754]

So have every artist in this world.......I 🌹🙏🌹

[@redriver6541]

The Brits actually just took Black music....because they loved it.....then we paid attention to it because there was a white person doing it.....and we started to do it ourselves. I'm not normally a preachy type on racism because it's not systemic anymore....but we certainly did that shit back in the day. We had wonderful music in our own back yards and were to "ate up with the dumbass" to realize it.

[@Keelyfae]

This came straight out of Jeff’s head. It has Jeff Lynne written all over it, as all his music does.

[@Keelyfae]

Grace Barzyz I’m afraid I have to disagree

[@gracebarzyz5754]

@@Keelyfae I respect that. We can agree 2 disagree. But let me say this....if the so called UK was such a GREAT BRITAIN......WHY DID THEY ALL COME HERE TO COLLECT OUR AMERICAN DOLLARS.

This band has such a unique sound! I have followed their music over the decades and this is a great track, and one that rarely gets a spin on air. ELO will be remembered as a band of distinction, of excellence!

[@user-ee9fj1ko3q]

1980's was the golden days of my life. There had been so many masterpieces of pop songs. ELO is one of my favorite pop groups.

[@monikaweber1097]

A simple melody can make the best sounding songs - easy to sing , easy to remember..... I just can't get used to this century's pop songs. Only few are acceptable. But ELO and others from my childhood - I can enjoy anytime!!!Thanks ELO.

[@VoxelMusic]

Despite this sounding like a simple tune, its infinitely more complicated than anything in the UK top 40 now. We just dont notice its complexity that easily because its such a bloody good song.

[@denisej4813]

@@VoxelMusic That's so true and sums up Jeff Lynne's songwriting genius in a nutshell. Can't get it out of my head, Telephone Line, Confusion and of course Mr Blue Sky ("posh chords and simple lyrics" in Jeff's own words) are just a few examples, there are many more.
