It's 2021 and I still come back to this cover again and again. It still is nothing short of amazing and I feel like I still notice something new everytime I watch it :D
I love this song and have been trolling around RUclips for covers. I found the usual bedroom bandits sitting with their acoustic guitars, god bless 'em, and a nice one from Duckworth Lewis. But this captures the epicness perfectly. I only wish you'd launched into the 5 minute ELO outro as well (you know ... the guitar bit then the orchestra bit then another 40-piece choral section then etc etc).
Came across this by accident....absolutely brilliant stuff. Great video, and what a cracking version of one of Jeff's best loved tunes. well done Holmes !
This should have WAY more recognition! :( I originally saw this a year or two back. Still love it. I'm writing a parody song at the moment and you've inspired me to do this style for the video (if I successfully write the song) since I cannot playing any instruments LOL.
Wow, your voice, your music imitation, your video, your quality, your talent! Good job! I shied my dad and he was impressed, it's one of his favorite songs from his days :)
great job with an awesome song. couldn't help but keep thinking you're the actor who played that teacher in that 80's sitcom the whole time i was watching this.
Awesome. Simply Awesome. This view count should be in the millions, as others have mentioned. I wish I had the time/money/patience to record multitrack songs like this! The only little tiny sad moment I had was the lack of harmony in the vocoder parts ;-)

When he did that second “so long”, I nearly got goosebumps, it sounded so good.
Best cover of Mr. Blue Sky I've heard since the song was first released in 1977! Fantastic performance, Holmes!
Astounding! Not only the vocals but the video production as well.
Adore the original but massive respect to this fantastic rendition. An original and inspired tribute to a true classic. Excellent work.
9 years later, this is still one of my fav covers of this song, and the original is one of my fav songs ♥
Thank you!
It's 2021 and I still come back to this cover again and again. It still is nothing short of amazing and I feel like I still notice something new everytime I watch it :D
Thanks Dusty!
Yes yes yes love this track Holmes knocked it out the park
That this all comes from a single singer is STUNNING!
Thank you!
AMAZING. This my man, is the best acapella song I ever heard.
HOW IS THIS SO GOOD, AND WHY HAVE I ONLY JUST FOUND IT.
Non-stop chills listening to this. Amazing.
An amazing performance for a wonderful song. Thanks Holmes for an excellent job. Regards from Spain.
That was awesome. thanks for a great interpretation of a 20th century classic rock arrangement / composition!
I have to say I was skeptical at first but this is just pretty darn cool!
truly the best acapella cover of this song well done!
Brilliant! I'm a great ELO fan and this is a cracking version of the song! Great stuff!
Take all the liberties you want when the finished product comes out this good. Absolutely incredible, brother!
Well done.
I've been coming back to this for the past three years whenever I need a pick-me-up. :)
So will I now. How did I not know about this before.
you should continue making covers like this! :D
The original is one of my all time favourite 'pick-me-up' tunes and this has done it justice. Good work!!
This is still one of my favorite things on RUclips. I also don't understand why so few people have seen this.
i rarely ever leave comments but, this was fan-bloody-tastic. one of my favorite songs in life and you made it so much fun. great!!!!! thanks man!!!!
