John Lennon and also Paul Mc Cartney once said that ELO is what the Beatles would have eventually sounded like if they had continued as a band into the 1970's and beyond.

Jeff Lynne (who said he didn’t like movies with violence or sex) apparently threw his hands up at the end of the film when this started playing and said it was the best film he’d ever seen! The song is great in that it sort of reflects on Eddie/Dirk’s journey and where he’s been and where he is now (although did he and the others really grow?)
@norm38444 жыл бұрын
Andrew Burgemeister agreed. Though sentimentally it’s perfect, one has to ask whether instead of growing everyone just relapses at the end of the film

WSP yeah, it’s the whole thing, things are better than when they were at rock bottom, but did they learn anything? Although maybe they feel more comfortable with themselves than they did at the start with their identity and who they are within the “family” and maybe that’s enough for them (which you could say is symbolised through finally seeing Dirk’s Dong at the end lol)

I saw ELO when I was stationed in West Berlin in the mid-seventies. Someone had requisitioned an Army bus and I remember being very happy and singing this song all the way from the British sector down to our compound in the American sector. Drove the others crazy. I've had several health issues to include Hodgkins Disease in the mid-nineties and a current diagnosis of Parkinsons, and part of my personal survival strategy is to listen to life-affirming music such as Tubthumping and this song.

If you slow down your life and listen to this song in its full glory ... taking time to soak in every instrument, every transition ... marveling at the orchestra-band integration (unparalleled among rock bands) ... noting how smoothly and seamlessly they nail the re-entries to rock from the orchestral moments ... how the backup vocals are positioned in such beautiful harmonic tones, and in just the right moments to be their own instrumental contribution ... how the recording manages to keep the soft and gorgeous sound of the acoustic guitar strings out front, even inside a very large band mix ... the individual elements, the full and complete sound ... just all of it ... you will come to appreciate the wonder of this band and the genius of Jeff Lynne behind it.

I've no doubt that she meant that in contrast of the music of today, in which case I have to call the existance of juvenoia into account. Plus the fact that many musical pieces in any time period are forgettable and bad, we do have some gems of today if you're willing to look and not read a book by the cover. But yes, this is a fantastic song

This was the first song that exposed me to ELO back when I was about 7-8 years old, off one of those old K-TEL records that were a collection of current hits. My mother bought A New World Record not long after and I played it to death. I've been a fan of Jeff Lynne's music ever since. The blend of symphonics and rock is a wonder to me.

Jonnny you may. I have an image in my mind 1977 seeing the violinist playing a deep blue violin starting this song live at their concert - was quite magical . The band was inside a gigantic 'flying saucer' which was their stage, it opened up at the start of the live show , smoke billowing out from all sides, lazers going everywhere. Was just unreal

Making believe this is what you've conceived From your worst day, Moving in line when you look back in time To your first day [CHORUS -- repeat] Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide Floating downstream, So let her go don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream [CHORUS -- repeat]

From 1972 to 1986 Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other groups in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold out Arenas and Stadiums. I just saw them in Toronto July 18 2019 ( 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. So if this is being under rated...I would love to be under rated this way...LOL The Legends in the Music Industry call him the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO!

First time I recall hearing this song was when I was 8, it was a few days after my bird died and I started getting teary eyed the moment I heard "It's a living thing, it's a terrible thing to lose". However the fact that it's such a good song made that sadness turn into a bittersweet feeling.
