Cover of Shangri-La from the ELO album A New World Record.
Magnus Melkersson: bass
Won-Hee Lee: violin
Mikael Sandström: guitars and vocals
Peter Olofsson: drums
Stefan Olofsson: lead vocals, keyboards, choir, strings, mix / master
LYRICS:
Sitting here, waiting for
Someone calling at my door
Too bad
I'm getting out of love
What's the use of changing things
Wonder what tomorrow brings
Who knows
I'm getting out of love
CHORUS
My Shangri-La has gone away
Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
Clouds roll by and hide the sun
Raindrops fall on everyone
So sad
I'm getting out of love

[@parablax]

The outro to Shangri-La is just pure genius.

[@StefanOlofsson]

Agree 100%. Thank you, Michael. :)

[@SirOliverNorwell]

What a beautiful cover of one of the most underrated recordings of all time. Shangri-La is a complete masterpiece with the greatest outro in modern recorded music ever. Thanks everyone for the effort! Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.

Hello Werner and thank you very much for the great comment. Indeed, Shangri-La is a modern masterpiece from one of the best groups ever.

ELO fan my whole life of 54 years and have felt so lonely bc it's rare to find anyone I speak to who knows anything about them. Their influence on me musically and on my life is so profound.

[@TomMonksMusic]

Holy moly, this is absolutely insanely accurate. Even down to the Mack drum sound!! And the tightness of those harmonies, woah. Seriously and spinechillingly incredible!

[@StefanOlofsson]

Thank you very much for noticing the details, Tom!! :) It was a lot of work and it's still an ongoing process to get the fine details down. One insight from this experience is how incredible difficult this must have been to pull off in 1976.

[@zephead64]

I could not have said it better myself. It captures the immense magic of the original... and by doing so it proves that you guys properly get it and 'knew the assignment'. 👍

This song is ELO's most epic song in my opinion. It captures everything that the band was ever meant to be. It is iconic and a dream. Does it really get any better? This cover does such an awesome job of capturing its spirit. I think I will go to sleep now and drift into my Shangri-La.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[@StefanOlofsson]

Thank you very much!

Wow. What a rendition. This sounds like Jeff Lynne did all the instruments himself, but they sound much cleaner and not as overloaded as in the original. I wonder if anyone ever booked you producing an original song in that quality? I would. This is fantastic.

[@StefanOlofsson]

Thank you very much, sir, for the great feedback!

[@tgorycki6825]

Wow! Absolutely beautiful! I have always adored this song. You guys are seriously talented and captured the studio tightness that Jeff Lynne achieves. Thank you for this!!!

Thank you very much for the great feedback. :)

[@oldgoatgxp]

What an amazing version of a very under rated ELO song. I hope you don't mind that I linked this to a ELO Facebook page so others can share the experience. To me, Shangri-la being played live by ELO was like finding the holy grail of ELO fandom, it's just not out there on the web. Even ELO Part 2 didn't play it. You ladies and gentlemen did one hell of a job, and did complete and total justice to one of Jeff Lynne's better works. Take a bow, you earned it! Old school ELO fan since the mid 1970's.

[@StefanOlofsson]

Thank you very much, sir! I completely agree that Shangri-La is underrated. In truth, there are a number of underrated ELO tracks that deserve more exposure. Being fans, we do what we can to bring this music a drop of extra publicity. Thank you very much for sharing and keep the flame.
