Strange Magic - Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) cover

[@dirkbag22]

So great. I hope Jeff sees this. Magnificent.

[@VinceLammas]

I saw the title here and my preconception was 'Come on, there must be limits to what you guys can do, this is ELO! Something's going to be lacking, surely!' Three listens through and OMG this really blows my socks off. An ELO fan of 58 years is madly impressed.

I thought the same. I was very pleasantly surprised. I listen to this often the past few weeks.

[@randallpeaslee1779]

I'm an American ex-pat in Poland teaching English. I played this for a student last week - a young doctor - who adores ELO. I mean this guy knows all the ELO songs forward and backwards. He loved your cover. He was amazed by your musicianship. Hopefully he's now a fan of you all.

[@lees2708]

Best ELO cover on the planet... oh, wait... In the UNIVERSE!

[@mrichling1]

As a person who plays, performing is such a wonderful drug... especially when it's done well. You guys smile, you have fun and you truly enjoy what your doing... remember the feeling. It is wonderful, and listening you you, it brings back lots of great memories and emotions. Remember it with all your heart. Thank you.

[@georgebudimir7801]

I love that Toni is playing a solid mahogany Martin D15. I also own one and it's underrated. It has exceptional high and low tones that flow through the sound hole.

[@lsj9794]

Toni is an amazing talent.

[@Filipgroesbaek]

For me, an important of the appeal of these marvelous young musician-singer-performers is the setting - here a living room arrangement. So up close & personal, intimate even, with the group wearing normal, everyday, unpretentious clothes, & really looking like they're having fun being together. I hasten to add that this is NOT the most important appeal they have: that would be their talent & skill. But sitting together in a homey room like this, or outside in a park or by a river, in a non-concert venue, somehow makes the wonderful music more charming & accessible.

[@JamesCouch777]

I don't often comment but I have to say, this is one of the best covers I've ever heard. Please never stop, we need you in this world that is so devoid of good music.

I agree about the cover but don’t stop looking for music! There’s SO much out there to love and discover - I promise the world isn’t as devoid of good music as it might seem :)

[@steffenhaug9555]

James, I agree with you completely! The Music of the Electric Light Orchestra accompanied me when I was more than 40 years of age younger than today. The youngsters are really perfect! My body is older now, but my spirit and my soul are younger than ever... Steffen from South West Germany

Hey, I’m a 63 year old boy who grew up lovin ELO and had the privilege of seeing them live a few times. I heard a few bands trying covers over the years with different degrees of success probably because of the sometimes complex arrangements but, and I don’t say this lightly I absolutely love this rendition and in my humble opinion I love it better than the original. Brought back a lot of memories thank you Rupert in the UK

[@BE74297]

Well, Ok, but there's not much energy or high spirits. It's pretty good, a least they're making music. But the transgender agenda that leads to transhumanism really has taken it's toll. I do love ELO's version dearly. Think, use your own brain ~ heart connection. And...Look around, look at the sky, notice nature, for the love of children and nature and all that matters. 'They' don't like nature. Who are They? They are the Chemical Tech War Industry. We naturally detox from their inorganic poisons present in the air, non-organic, gmo food and water, and from their fake "vxs" and pHarma drugs. Illness fever, flu is a beneficial detox cleansing process (the way our bodies work, to heal), not contagious. Holistic practitioners know the contagion theory is false. Used for control purposes. Their current control scheme is UN Agenda 2030/The illuminati/Club of Rome's Sustainable Development (control scheme). The WEF/UN merger's "cvd' as the catalyst to merge man with machines. They pretend to protect the environment with fraudulent environmental mandates and pretend to protect our health with fake health malpractice mandates. See book Behind the Green Mask, by Rosa Koire. Mandated by forced consensus (fake) climate action, fast tracks the "climate action" central banker's harmful to health and sovereignty planned all electric worldwide smart emf/led/dew/iot/ai/gnd/global governance/nwo technocratic control system grid. Big Ag, Big pHarma and Big Tech. are a Big part of The Chemical Tech.War Industry, they own MSM and EDU Programming Systems. (Of lies.) Their GMO "vxs" and their GMO phood damages the gut (second brain, gut feeling), our true divine immune system, connected to the real sun (they block) and the SEA Universal Source Energy of All that is (creation and love). The 'cvd' liars also visibly engineer the droughts and fires. ie: the Calif. and AUS droughts and fires were visibly engineered. Just one resource 1PacificRedwood yt channel, real weather reports. And they sell electric cars by fraud, powered on the artificial sun that no one (or very few) see. Their solar generator/geo-satellite / weapon of mass destruction -google patent sprays it's own chemtrails, built into the patent itself, always visible around the glaring bright white Corona v. patent dew weapon in the sky covering our beautiful, healing sun. It's microwave radiation poisoning. And the Al oxide spraying out from it and from chemtrail SAI Stratospheric Aerosol Injection, jets, is for their horrific Synthetic biology plans taught in all their UN Agenda 2030 UNiversities. They rapidly program armies of young people in con-troll science, science that works against nature (their main Program). Everything can be seen who is who, what is false, what is true. They sold everyone a False Smart Connection and stole our True Connection. Oh & btw, Lay off the hand sanitizer (another hormone disruptor) part of The Agenda. To weaken the strongest men, documented and proven. It feminizes men and makes women less feminine. Only organic nature is health, is love, is truth, is abundance, is freedom, is strength, is beauty, is bliss.

[@deansongs]

I agree with everything you say Dale . It's funny because Reina and her friend's (Toni?) vocals are you usually absolutely killer. This is a great cover but the vocals don't kick in like on the original, which is funny because Jeff Lynne is not the greatest singer. Always has a lot of electronic stuff on his voice and background singers because, you know... :-).

I was 22 when this was popular and I must have heard it a hundred times on the radio but it just went over my head, like meh. Forty-seven years later pushing 70 and it hits me.

I mean these guys are seriously good; so beautiful.
