I've always loved ELO. They were inspired by the Beatles and the Moody Blues, among others. They fused rock sounds with a bit of classical string instruments and some good vocal harmonies. Good reaction, Maggie.
You need to check out Rockaria a mixture of opera and rock. It's about meeting a beautiful opera singer and trying to bring over to the dark side of rock, and beautiful mix they make.
If you like songs sung in different languages, then check out Nicole's "Ein bißchen Frieden" from Eurovision Song Contest 1982 finale, the multi-language reprise after she won the contest. She was originally singing in German, her native language (which was the requirement at ESC at the time), but after she won and was to sing once again, she sung in German, English, French and Dutch. It was a surprise to the organizers, who didn't know they prepared such a version. Later she also recorded a version in which she sings in 7 different languages.
Jeff Lynne was open about taking up the flag from The Beatles and other bands of the sixties. The guy is a bona fide genius He was in The Traveling Wilburys with Goerge Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Pettey, Roy Orbison amongst others
A lot of British groups back in the 60's and 70's would sing in different languages. The Beatles acually sang in German...especially their earlier stuff.
When you were singing to the lyrics you sand as it is Hold on tight to your DREAM. When you were commenting you said it as I remember. Hold on tight to your DreamS. It may just be the drumming and snare that makes it sound like there is an S on dream.
"Accroches-toi a ton reve, Accroches-toi a ton reve, Quand tu vois ton bateau partir, Quand tu sents ton coeur se brise, Accroches-toi a ton reve This is a French translation of the first verse in English Hold on tight to your dream, Hold on tight to your dream, when you see your ship go sailing, when you feel your heart is breaking, Hold on tight to your dream. 😂 I think the reason Jeff added the French verse was to get better airplay on Europe radio. 😅
Nice choice! This song is near the end of the album "Time". The album is a Concept Project, and could easily be the soundtrack for a movie. The plot line clearly has the protagonist transported from 1985 to 2095, where he is promptly arrested for Time Traveling. (Spoiler Alert!) By the end of the album, he realizes that the dream he needs to hold on to is back in 1985, and he eventually makes it back to her. Time Travel, trips to the Moon, a Love Story, everything a good movie plot needs! To listen to Hold On Tight properly, you should bracket it with 21st Century Man and Epilogue. My other favorites on the album (can you tell I love the whole album) are Rain is Falling and Here Is The News.
Beach Boys, then Beatles, then ELO. Bee Gees were around same time as ELO (70s). ELO was unique in that they incorporated cellos and violins. Next up, Rock n Roll is King!!!!
if you like adam lambert look up 'is anybody listening' from when he was singing theatre before american idol. a little back ground though he came in second on american idol most people thought he should of won but being gay they voted for the straight country singer.
They were after all of those but influenced by them and classical music. John Lennon referred to them as the "Baby Beatles" and thought they were a good group.
Haven't heard this one in a looong time, not one of ELO's best. IMO. Maggie, please listen to "Mr. Blue Sky", "Livin' Thing", "Evil Woman", "Telephone Line", or "Strange Magic". All of them much better than this one.

'Rock 'n' Roll Is King', is another great one from this time period.
It's interesting that "Roy" suggested this, since this song sounds like an homage to Roy Orbison... 🤙😎

Love this song... AND the surprise French LOL. Great job Maggie!
Really enjoyed this super fun song.. and definitely your analysis. Thank you.
This Song Was Almost A a throwback to 50s Doo Wap of Extreme Harmonies & Strong Driving Piano Melody 😅
Such a great band. 1981 …I was a senior in high school and this song was huge!
Always liked this song.
Rock and Roll is King would be the companion to this one. Check it out next!
You need to check out Rockaria a mixture of opera and rock. It's about meeting a beautiful opera singer and trying to bring over to the dark side of rock, and beautiful mix they make.
Jeff Lynne was a huge Beatles fan so his music has a lot of their influence. Check out "Mr. Blue sky" it's very Beatle- esque.
Never even noticed, til now, how much the main parts sound like At The Hop, by Danny & The Juniors
Beatle inspiration for sure, especially McCartney. Band on the Run
I needed to hear this today. Thank you.
He worked with Dave Edmunds during this time (1983). Similar sounding.
Remember Slipping Away (wrote and produced) and Information (produced)?
Seeing as how you're an opera singer, maybe you should react to their song "Rockaria"
(Jeff Lynne is such a great songwriter)
I'd watch the hell out of that movie.

RIP Richard Tandy and Kelly Grocutt
For whatever reason, this became the theme song for a commercial promoting ... coffee.

Good One Love ELO!
You need to hear the Super Group The Traveling Wilberrys Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty
Their first song was in 1971. Beatles started in 1965. I loved ELO when they came out. Their sound was unique. Great beat, harmonies, sound. Billy Boy
Beatles first album Please Please Me was released March 1963.
@@malkamusik thanks, i guess my search engine was wrong.
This title comes from the brilliant concept album “Time”.
You listened carefully, Jeff Lynne has worked with all these big stars.
A lot of British groups back in the 60's and 70's would sing in different languages. The Beatles acually sang in German...especially their earlier stuff.
Love this group! Lead singer Jeff Lynn is with group called traveling Wilburys! Need to check them out also😊
Maggie has reacted to some WIlburys. They are on YT
'Rockaria' for sure.
When you were singing to the lyrics you sand as it is Hold on tight to your DREAM.
When you were commenting you said it as I remember.
Hold on tight to your
DreamS.
It may just be the drumming and snare that makes it sound like there is an S on dream.
You've been doing some ELO lately. Good!
"Accroches-toi a ton reve, Accroches-toi a ton reve, Quand tu vois ton bateau partir, Quand tu sents ton coeur se brise, Accroches-toi a ton reve
This is a French translation of the first verse in English
Hold on tight to your dream, Hold on tight to your dream, when you see your ship go sailing, when you feel your heart is breaking, Hold on tight to your dream. 😂
I think the reason Jeff added the French verse was to get better airplay on Europe radio. 😅
Hmm, nobody seem to care of the texts on the screen, EG the Japanese one...

In an interview, John Lennon referred to ELO as "sons of Beatles."
ELO 👍🎸
If you ever watch the Traveling wilberies handle with care Jeff Lynn is the big frizzy haired guy with the sun glasses in it.
Jeff Lynne like to incorporate 50s doo wap in his music. Freddy Mercury from Queen loved opera. Listen to his vocal performances. He'll blow you away
Wow. Most of the macaronic songs I know are from the Middle Ages. OTOH, there is "Psycho Killer" and probably a bunch of others I just haven't heard.
Hold on to your Dreams, the replete"
If you can can you please try to react to Livingston fairytail
I heard that John Lennon called ELO Son of the Beatles
Love ELO. Have you listened to Rush? Check out "The Garden".
Beach Boys, then Beatles, then ELO. Bee Gees were around same time as ELO (70s). ELO was unique in that they incorporated cellos and violins.
Next up, Rock n Roll is King!!!!
👍❤️❤️
Falling in reverse - Losing my mind, Losing my Life , Drugs please doing reaction 🙏
Jeff Lynn a Ledgend!

Always wondered if Lana Wimp was Horace's sister?
HEY maggie go reaction weird genius - Catalyst
Hmm!
Time (1981)
OK... May as well go back 50 years and start at the beginning.
LOVED YOUR REACTION LOVE THIS SONG 😍 YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK OUT "I'M ALIVE".
I wish it were mandatory to ban videos for your first listen to a song.
Sorry Jeff Lynne. I miss typed.
They were after all of those but influenced by them and classical music.
