    It should be known by ELO fans since 1972 that ELO started out as both being led by Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood as a progressive offshoot of The Move, but Roy quit after the first album to go solo, so it's been Jeff's baby since then. As of 2024, Jeff is announcing his retirement from touring as ELO prepares it's 2024-25 tour as it's last tour. Good luck, and Godspeed, Jeff.

    As a kid in the '70's I didn't really care for ELO. Now having rediscovered them at 58 years old I'm like "what the hell was I thinking". Amazingly beautiful. 👍👍👍

      07-12-2024 9:24 am; I’m 68 turning 69 (such a provocative double-entendres numeral…. Yikes…Hee Hee!) on October 13th. 2024 this year. I have Hyperparathyroidism, which means that my thyroid glands are working overtime in the extreme, and I eat 5 meals a day, but still burn it off. My metabolism is not compromised but enhanced in the extreme. My body is the same size, dimensions, volume, mass, weight, waist/inseam, neck/arm length….everything except my shoe size has remained the same as when I was 17 years old, and my shoe size went from 12 to 13 to now .,..it’s
      14. I’ve been listening to ELO the entire time. I’ve never seemed to be interested in the band leader or its exceptional members ….. I just know that I like the music, the sound, the lyrics, and sometime the innovative instrumental/the electronica calisthenics, State Of The Art usage of audio sampling tricks candy sauce applied to the latest new album recording debuts (back in the day and at that previous era of good current times, as we waited….champing at the bit drooling for the next installment album to magically appear at out favorite music records and tapes store outlet) ….the premier warehouse retail sales record music outlet at that time would be the one and only TOWER RECORDS, on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California. When I heard this album’s playlist single track, Mister Blue Sky, I just about lost my ‘lil monkey mind there for several seconds. The last part of the lyrics where the electronic synthesizer modulates/undulates/squeezes multiple harmonics wavering sets of overlapping synchronized audio output sounds like a computer that is self-aware and trying to communicate utilizing the only. tools available to it which would logically be something it created by its own concept f sbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbblbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbBbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbfsinging voice

    Looks as through therell be more pain
    There's gonna be a showdown
    And it's rainin all over the world

    [Verse 1]
    She cried to the southern wind
    'Bout a love that was sure to end
    Every dream in her heart was gone
    Headin' for a showdown
    Bad dreamer, what's your name?
    Looks like we're ridin' on the same train
    Looks as though there'll be more pain
    There's gonna be a showdown
    [Chorus]
    And it's rainin' all over the world
    It's rainin' all over the world
    Tonight, the longest night
    [Verse 2]
    She came to me like a friend
    She blew in on a southern wind
    Now my heart is turned to stone again
    There's gonna be a showdown
    Save me
    Oh, save me
    It's unreal, the suffering
    There's gonna be a showdown
    [Chorus]
    And it's rainin' all over the world
    Rainin' all over the world
    Tonight, the longest night
    [Bridge]
    (Rainin', rainin')
    (Rainin', rainin')
    [Chorus]
    Rainin' all over the world
    Rainin' all over the world
    The longest night
    [Chorus]
    And it's rainin' all over the world
    Rainin' all over the world
    Tonight, the longest night
    [Outro]
    You gotta save me, girl
    When I'm ready for savin'
    I'm a fool for you
    You know I need you, child
    Come on and save me
    Can't you feel what you're doin' to me now?
    I'm on the run again
    Gotta save your soul
