    Not only is this a great song and not only does Jeff lynne's vocals hits it on the spot this song connects you to the seventies. This song is produced for the 70's. Elo was the 70's.

      Mate where were you hiding then?
      Punk Rock.
      New Wave.
      New Romantics.
      Ska
      Synth.
      They were the 70s fella.
      Then there's Led Zeppelin. Deep Purple. Pink Floyd. ELP. Bowie. Roxy.
      You have to be from USA; to say what you did.

  • @jerrycote659
    @jerrycote659 2 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Nick, you got great taste for being into ELO. Jeff Lynne is a musical genius. Really hope you guys react to “Turn To Stone” which slaps! Other ELO standouts “Living Thing”, “Do Ya”, “Evil Woman”, “Telephone Line”, “Sweet Talking Woman”, “Mister Blue Sky”, “Confusion”, “Diary of Horace Wimp”. “Night In The City”, “Last Train To London”. Have fun going down the ELO rabbit hole 😊

  • @DawnSuttonfabfour
    @DawnSuttonfabfour 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Lennon said if The Beatles had carried on they would have been ELO. High praise. Have seen ELO they played 27 songs. 27!! Too good, they were just too good.

  • @TJClark-sw2yz
    @TJClark-sw2yz 2 ปีที่แล้ว +41

    Ryan nailed it for me. This one is a night time drive, play list song. Very mellow, kind of melancholy. It definitely has a bittersweet vibe. Thanks guys. Great review,as usual.

  • @toddymac
    @toddymac 2 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    I was 15 when this came out in the mid 70's. This is the song that really got me into ELO's corner. Evil Woman caught my ear but I thought this song was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever heard at the time. To this day hearing this song always puts me in a nostalgic place of the times, my friends, loves, etc., being a Sophomore in High School. I went full throttle and started buying up all their albums at this point.

  • @bobguilda6884
    @bobguilda6884 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    All Over The World and Telephone Line will be over the top which y'all have probably heard by now seeing how it is ten months later in my world. As a boomer, I'm a late bloomer.

  • @Cosmo-Kramer
    @Cosmo-Kramer 2 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    Ooooo...my *favorite* band! And what a beautiful ballad you've selected. This 1975 hit helped catapult ELO into Rock 'n Roll's upper echelon! Such a relatable song, too. Anyone who's ever fallen head over heels for someone, knows how it feels to be under the spell of love's unique, "strange magic". Can't wait, fellas!

  • @ryanstarkey3011
    @ryanstarkey3011 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A newer, but still magical song by E.L.O. is "Prologue/Twilight". If you have not heard or reacted to this, it will blow you away. You must include Prologue, as technically they are 2 different pieces.

  • @Laniefj
    @Laniefj 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    When I worked in surgery we listened to ELO full blast. I knew every song by heart. Great tones and great memories. Lots went down in that operating room.

  • @suzanneprock7286
    @suzanneprock7286 2 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    ELO is great, you guys should react to "All Over The World", a real upbeat and positive energetic song!

    • @lisalisa13
      @lisalisa13 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes! This is "end of pandemic celebration" kind of upbeat song.

    ELO always takes me right back to MUCH happier times ……the ‘70’s of course.

  • @lisadee.
    @lisadee. 2 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    The song is about a "strange type of magic"~feeling, a man has around a certain~captivating woman. The lyrics imply that the dream needs to end for the reality to begin. There is no conclusion, leaving it up to the imagination of the listening audience. 😊 👍 Great watching you guys again!

    • @Cosmo-Kramer
      @Cosmo-Kramer 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I don't think that's exactly right, Lisa. I agree that, "strange magic", refers to the feeling a man has when he's falling head over heels in love with a woman. But where we part is that I think the lyric about that feeling coming to an end refers to the inevitability of that strange magic wearing off in time. He knows that "strange magic" is ephemeral by nature, and that it's going to end, becoming a sweet dream in his memory. This is not his first rodeo, hence why he can see ahead even while under the spell of love's "strange magic".

    I really like ELO, as they were different from other groups of the time, and this song was a nice change of pace for them.

  • @rachelbrough8160
    @rachelbrough8160 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    ELO is my favourite band of all time. Jeff Lynne is a genius musician and poet, the way he weaves lyrics and music together is amazing - strange magic indeed! 😉❤ 'One Summer Dream' from this album is wonderful.

  • @taylordixon1836
    @taylordixon1836 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Telephone Line is my favorite ELO song, but you really can’t go wrong

  • @jeffrogers2180

    Yep, Jeff Lynne is a musical genius.. and he produced albums by George Harrison and Tom Petty.. and then of course was in traveling wilburys with them.

  • @liffick
    @liffick 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This song takes me back to those carefree days on the beach at summer when I was eight years of age, with my little transistor radio by my side. As a matter of fact, most of ELO's 70's tracks do that to me.

  • @wpollock1
    @wpollock1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Fire! This whole album is so good as was New World Record. Jeff Lynne can make that haunting melody so well.

  • @SWLinPHX
    @SWLinPHX ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Guys, E.L.O.'s catalog is HUGE! Aside from "Don't Bring Me Down" and "Strange Magic" you have other ballads such as "Can't Get It Out Of My Head" and "Telephone Line", and rockers such as "Evil Woman", "Livin' Thing", "Sweet Talkin' Woman", "Turn To Stone", "Xanadu/I'm Alive/All Over The World", "Mr. Blue Sky", "Hold On Tight", "Do Ya", and so much more.

  • @jeffwood32
    @jeffwood32 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The second time I saw them they played a very small club in Colorado.
    I couldn't believe it, we sat at a table no more than ten feet from them, just a laid-back jam session! Fantastic!

    @susanoneill370 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Guys?!? I'm playin' catch up. Soooo glad you went down the ELO rabbit hole already. Lynne's genius allowed so many to continue feeling connected to The Beatles while being turned on to all kinds of new special effects and style that helped define his sound. Check out all of his co-writing gems right up through Tom Petty. Jeff is a beyond special in the singer-songwriter world. Production-wise, he continues to have the midas touch. Looking forward to more of your reactions to anything ELO and Lynne beyond. Love your response to the "la la la la las!"

    "ELO - Livin' Thing (1977)" (Live) my family owned a skating rink and while I was in high school I also worked as the DJ (disc-jokey) which meant that my duties were play the music and referee and monitor the crowd while skating and playing games and racing. (Ring police with a whistle 😂) anyway ELO was always largely requested. Great music came from this band, one of my favorites. 🔥🎶✌🏼

    I was kind of famous in my small town for my stereo system. I had a Sansui receiver, Cerwin Vega speakers and a pioneer turntable. It was clear as crystal. it cost more than my motorcycle. I had to take out a bank loan to get it.
    When I would visit anyone else, I would take my ELO albums with me, just in case they didn't have any. :)

    One of my top songs of theirs... As you said before, their trail runs deep! This song comes across my desk at least once a day. Wow another great analogy. 😊 70's music is just so good. ELO is just top 10 ten (if not top 5 bands). I can see how you would like Tightrope better.
