Not only is this a great song and not only does Jeff lynne's vocals hits it on the spot this song connects you to the seventies. This song is produced for the 70's. Elo was the 70's.

I was 15 when this came out in the mid 70's. This is the song that really got me into ELO's corner. Evil Woman caught my ear but I thought this song was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever heard at the time. To this day hearing this song always puts me in a nostalgic place of the times, my friends, loves, etc., being a Sophomore in High School. I went full throttle and started buying up all their albums at this point.

Lynne's genius allowed so many to continue feeling connected to The Beatles while being turned on to all kinds of new special effects and style that helped define his sound. Check out all of his co-writing gems right up through Tom Petty. Jeff is a beyond special in the singer-songwriter world. Production-wise, he continues to have the midas touch. Looking forward to more of your reactions to anything ELO and Lynne beyond. Love your response to the "la la la la las!"

The song is about a "strange type of magic"~feeling, a man has around a certain~captivating woman. The lyrics imply that the dream needs to end for the reality to begin. There is no conclusion, leaving it up to the imagination of the listening audience. 😊 👍 Great watching you guys again!
@Cosmo-Kramer2 жыл бұрын
I don't think that's exactly right, Lisa. I agree that, "strange magic", refers to the feeling a man has when he's falling head over heels in love with a woman. But where we part is that I think the lyric about that feeling coming to an end refers to the inevitability of that strange magic wearing off in time. He knows that "strange magic" is ephemeral by nature, and that it's going to end, becoming a sweet dream in his memory. This is not his first rodeo, hence why he can see ahead even while under the spell of love's "strange magic".

I'm really enjoying watching you "younguns" discover and appreciate the many great bands and songs from my youth. ELO was one of my many favourites from that era, (mainly the 70s) that I'm rediscovering and relishing again. Also, being from your neighbour to the north, I'm particularly happy that you're learning about some of our many talented artists. One example, April Wine. I certainly knew of them, but had never heard "Roller". Believe it or not. Since I've seen your reaction, it's been on my all-time favourites list. Keep up the good work, eh?

Not sure if someone has already commented on this, but it's worth pointing out that Jeff Lynne produced the new track releases by the Beatles in '95 or so when they did their Anthology box set. He was also a member of the Traveling Wilburys with George Harrison (also Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Roy Orbison). I would also like to thank you guys for doing such a great job of highlighting Canadian bands. Rush is not a stretch for anyone doing reactions, but you guys have also done the Guess Who, Triumph, April Wine, and Red Rider. Hats off for giving those great bands their due!
