Vocal Arranger Reacts to ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA - “MR. BLUE SKY” (Analysis)

In this video, I react for the first time to ELO performing “Mr. Blue Sky”, which I found to be gloriously happy. I analyse why that might be from a music theory perspective and come to some cool conclusions that I am excited to share with you. I also analyse their amazing performance, explain and demonstrate the vocal and composition techniques. I love this era of music, when things were so soulful and groovy!

[@Neil_BT]

This is the 4th part of a larger piece Jeff called "Concerto for a Rainy Day" that takes up the 3rd side of Out of the Blue. Always interesting to listen to people who know what they're talking about and who understand music under the hood talk about why it just sounds so fab.

[@brianpeck7763]

The whole Concerto sets up a scenario of heartbreak, which makes Mr Blue Sky even more impactful in its joy. This album got me through the worst time of my life.

[@DarrenCoull]

Definitely a wonderful experience, the Concerto is well worth a new reaction video - Mr Blue Sky I think is cheerful but my favourite is Big Wheels

Jeff Lynne - the man behind ELO is one of the few Traveling Wilburys - if you hang out with those dudes then you are a legit LEGEND. And when you say "because of science" - I get all tingly.

[@Panthror]

This song came about when the band was trying to write songs for a new album. They were in a cabin and couldn't come up with anything, making them frustrated. Not helping the mood was the gloomy and rainy weather outside. Until one morning the rain had stopped, the sun was shining again and the sky was a clear blue. Inspiration struck and a hit song was born.

^^ This. I had the vinyl set and left them on repeat almost till the grooves wore flat.

[@roystoyscomics1361]

Mr. Blue Sky is the fourth part of Concerto For A Rainy Day, a four part suite. It starts with Standing In The Rain which transitions to Big Wheels which transitions to Summer and Lightning and then finishes with Mr. Blue Sky. Best listening experience is to hear the whole Concerto as a whole. Jeff Lynne wrote Out of The Blue which is a double album while staying in a Swiss Chalet for a couple of weeks. Most of the time in inclement weather. Eventually that led to the weather breaking to Blue Skies. So inspiration hits in the strangest ways sometimes. 😅

[@leapguy1235]

ABSOLUTELY.

[@islandseeker1260]

Have loved this song (and band) forever, but this song is even MORE fun when watching baby Groot dancing to it!

Jeff Lynne must be the most productive rockstar that most people never heard of. He helped create literally dozens of hit songs / albums. The Beatles, that level. And a few of his own, like this one. Evil Woman is my personal favorite.

[@kraffles]

This was the last track on the vinyl album, and it was saying "please turn me over" at the end of the song, so you could play side 2.

[@ffjsb]

Actually I believe it was on side 3, as it was a double album.

[@ib9rt]

@@ffjsbYes indeed, it was the last track on side 3, and you turned it over for side 4. It was also the conclusion of "Concerto for a Rainy Day", four connected and themed tracks occupying the whole of side 3.

Easily my favorite ELO song which I have heard dozens of times but watching your review actually caused the coursing of a tear down my cheek. Literally. What an absolutely beautiful insight into the song. Thank you, Lolly, both future and past. Sub and UV, joyous lady.

[@stephenstrudwick8095]

Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne formed ELO from the ashes of a great sixties band "The Move". ELO was intended to be a very experimental band, combining rock and orchestra. Roy Wood unfortunately left ELO shortly after their first album released. But Jeff Lynne stayed on to take the group to superstardoom. :-) I would suggest listening to "Overture 10538" from ELO's first album to hear the origins of the band's orchestral overtones.

[@TONE11111]

10538 overture

[@phasemalfunction5286]

was also Bev Bevan from the Move

[@jamesdodger5588]

Your sheer enthusiasm is wonderful to behold. It has made my day. On a small point the very final (vocoder) lyric is not (as shown on the screen) "Mister Blue Sky" it is in fact "Please turn me over". Originally on LP it was a prompt for the listener to turn the record over to the other side.

[@txheadshots]

"And then there was a Dalek" As if I could be more in love with you

[@t-mar9275]

The song was actually featured in a Doctor Who episode, Love & Monsters from the 2nd season of the reboot. While watching it, my son (then 9 years old) asked if I knew who did the song, so at the next commercial break I brought out my complete collection of ELO studio albums. He actually listened to them and became a big ELO fan.

That was one of the most delightful, insightful, articulate, downright enjoyable reaction vids I've ever seen. Thank you, Lolli, for making my day brighter. I was around when this song was released. It is a classic.; a five-minute, mini symphony. Interestingly, I was at a birthday party, oh, about 10 years ago now; a combined 50th and 18th for mother and daughter. The party crowd was thus a mix of old folk and 18 y-os who would have been just unfertilised eggs when MBS was in what we used to call 'the charts'. This song was played. All the youngsters sang happily and loudly along, apparently familiar with all the words. They don't write 'em like that any more.

As a musician of many many years, I always love reactions who are the reactor really does know what's going on and is good at explaining it to a wider audience, while still giving people like me something more substantive to chew on. This song came out when I was in junior high and I associate it with my first girlfriend because she bought the album and we played it all the time and then this song was on the radio constantly. It was such a great summer time song. You mentioned something about your sobriety, so if that is indeed the case then congratulations to you. And, as ChatGPT would conclude things, it is worthwhile to note that not only are you hot as hell, I really love your voice in that lower register.

Oh, I am so glad you got to listen to this song. ELO are wonderful... and there are so many great songs. Besides this, which is probably my fav song ever, telephone is also great.. but beware... quite full of longing and sadness.

This song was taken from the "Out Of The Blue" album which was released in 1977 and by 2007 had sold more than 10 million copies.Written and produced by ELO frontman Jeff Lynne. Jeff Lynne wrote the entire album in three and a half weeks after a sudden burst of creativity while hidden away in his rented chalet in the Swiss Alps. It took a further two months to record in Munich. Side three of the original double LP consisted of the symphonic Concerto for a rainy day. In a BBC Radio interview, Lynne talked about writing "Mr. Blue Sky" after locking himself away in a Swiss chalet and attempting to write ELO's follow-up to :A New World Record. It was dark and misty for 2 weeks, and I didn't come up with a thing. Suddenly the sun shone and it was, 'Wow, look at those beautiful Alps.' I wrote Mr. Blue Sky and 13 other songs in the next 2 weeks.
