Last Train to London - ELO | Cover

We thought of covering this song half way through the Halloween week and couldn't get it out of our heads. Such a great song. Any more ELO songs we should cover? Please like, subscribe, comment (positive please, there is enough darkness in the world already).
"Last Train to London" is a song from the rock band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), the fifth track from their album Discovery.
The song was released in 1979 in the UK as a double A-side single with "Confusion". It peaked at number 8 in the UK Singles Chart. However, in the US the two songs charted separately, with "Confusion" in late 1979 followed by "Last Train to London" in early 1980. It peaked at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100. Billboard Magazine described the song as having a "catchy pop melody with Beatlesque vocal qualities and a smooth layered sound." In Spain the single was released with the Spanish title "Último tren a Londres".
"There was a certain period when it seemed we spent years on trains going back and forth from Birmingham to the various TV and radio stations in London."
- Discovery remaster (2001), Jeff Lynne

Hola. Excelente. Puro funk. Grande Jeff Lynne y su banda Electric Light Orchestra. " Last train to London " ( 1979 )

[@ashleynunes9662]

An absolutely marvellous rendition, well played indeed.

[@jefferymcknight1166]

This is one of my all time favorite songs. And you two did not mess it up. In fact, you did one of the best covers ever. I’m completely blown away that you were able to make this happen so effectively. The vocals are amazing and enticing. And your guitar, guitar, guitar playing was beyond brilliant, so amazingly talented. And blending it all together for a perfect and delightful performance was a technical feat. Thanks so much for your effort. This posting is now on my frequent revisit list. Love you two.

[@philipford6183]

Everyone always forgets to add the 12-string acoustic. It's one of Jeff's things - you hear it all over ELO's stuff.

[@facethestrangeband]

Didn't forget just didn't have one at the time.

It was nine twenty-nine Nine twenty-nine, back street, big city The sun was going down There was music all around, it felt so right It was one of those nights One of those nights when you feel the world stop turning You were standing there There was music in the air I should have been away But I knew I had to stay Last train to London Just heading out Last train to London Just leaving town But I really want tonight to last forever I really wanna be with you Let the music play on down the line tonight It was one of those nights One of those nights when you feel the fire is burning Everybody was there, everybody to share It was so right There you were on your own Looking like you were the only one around I had to be with you Nothing else that I could do I should have been away But I knew I had to stay Last train to London Just heading out Last train to London Just leaving town But I really want tonight to last forever I really wanna be with you Let the music play on down the line tonight Underneath a starry sky Time was still but hours must really have rushed by I didn't realize But love was in your eyes I really should have gone But love went on and on Last train to London Just heading out Last train to London Just leaving town But I really want tonight to last forever I really wanna be with you Let the music play on down the line tonight But I really want tonight to last forever I really wanna be with you Let the music play on down the line tonight
