Saturday, May 25, 2024. Hello all ELO lovers. I bought this album when was released. Ive played it quite often ever since. Im 66 years old now. But, this music never stops rockin.
You could give the likes of Ed Sheeran an entire millennia and he wouldn’t be able to come up with a tenth of the creativity and originality in this one song.
John Lennon and also Paul Mc Cartney once said that ELO is what the Beatles would have eventually sounded like if they had continued as a band into the 1970's and beyond.
No they are not really underrated, well maybe to younger millenials. But I'm betting you when movies (for ex GOTG has Mr Blue Sky in it) includes their music or any other old musics, these young millenials will start to appreciate the musics and you are not gonna like it because they are gonna fill the comment sections with their fantasy bullshits
Those VIOLINS is what got my curiosity, then these synchronized voices, and then the whole song.. Definitely another beautiful song.. Then I was hook. ELO💕
Jeff Lynne (who said he didn’t like movies with violence or sex) apparently threw his hands up at the end of the film when this started playing and said it was the best film he’d ever seen! The song is great in that it sort of reflects on Eddie/Dirk’s journey and where he’s been and where he is now (although did he and the others really grow?)
WSP yeah, it’s the whole thing, things are better than when they were at rock bottom, but did they learn anything? Although maybe they feel more comfortable with themselves than they did at the start with their identity and who they are within the “family” and maybe that’s enough for them (which you could say is symbolised through finally seeing Dirk’s Dong at the end lol)
Dive into everything you find, kid. Reggae, hip hop, metal (good metal), Americana, soul, jazz... Find 1 thing you love about every genre and apply it to your taste. Dive deep.. Tchaikovsky deep.
Heh, jokes on you. Been listening to this stuff since... forever. Elo will always have a place in my heart with the other favorites of mine (Beatles, Modest Mouse, Grateful Dead)
Good taste, my friend! Some people are just born with it. Jeff Lynne is the magic your heading. He's also part of the Traveling Wilburys. He's doing a Farewell tour. US dates look to be Aug-Oct 2024.
If you slow down your life and listen to this song in its full glory ... taking time to soak in every instrument, every transition ... marveling at the orchestra-band integration (unparalleled among rock bands) ... noting how smoothly and seamlessly they nail the re-entries to rock from the orchestral moments ... how the backup vocals are positioned in such beautiful harmonic tones, and in just the right moments to be their own instrumental contribution ... how the recording manages to keep the soft and gorgeous sound of the acoustic guitar strings out front, even inside a very large band mix ... the individual elements, the full and complete sound ... just all of it ... you will come to appreciate the wonder of this band and the genius of Jeff Lynne behind it.
@RadarDH55 call me basic but it´s Mr.blue sky, though i also really like this one and Turn to stone, and if im not up for something as "exciting" when i was a boy is always a relaxing pic!
Sailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic Oh rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and sliding It's magic And you, and your sweet desire, You took me, ohhh higher and higher baby, It's a livin' thing, It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose. Making believe this is what you've conceived From your worst day, I'm takin a dive Oh moving in line when you look back in time To the first day, I'm taken I'm taken And you and your sweet desire, You took me ohh, higher and higher baby I'm takin a dive. Off the stage. Hey!! Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide Floating downstream, I'm takin a dive Ah so let her go don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream, I'm takin' , I'm takin' And you and your sweet desire Don't you do it , You took me ohh higher and higher baby
@@Cosmo-Kramer funny fact: Jeff Lynne wasn’t keen on films that had sexual or violent content so it seemed unlikely he would license ELO’s music for those types of films, particularly not Boogie Nights, but he saw a test screening with PTA with Livin Thing at the end and he loved it!
I saw ELO when I was stationed in West Berlin in the mid-seventies. Someone had requisitioned an Army bus and I remember being very happy and singing this song all the way from the British sector down to our compound in the American sector. Drove the others crazy. I've had several health issues to include Hodgkins Disease in the mid-nineties and a current diagnosis of Parkinsons, and part of my personal survival strategy is to listen to life-affirming music such as Tubthumping and this song.
I first heard this band on a car radio in the 1970s. Now I can listen to them on my phone almost 50 years later. The feeling is still the same. Great music will live forever
I did see Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra in New York 2016 Toronto in 2018 and 2019. They were voted the best live classic Rock Band in the world 🌎 and after seeing about more than 200 concerts in my life I totally agree. Let’s hope they tour one more time in 2022-2023. I will go wherever they play.🙏❤️👍
Saw Boogie Nights when it came out in the theater. After the resolution and astonishing final scene, while sitting in shock as the sound system blasted this from the speakers all around me, I admit I sobbed a little at being bombarded by such powerful art.
That was also my reaction to seeing *Boogie Nights*. I hadn't read any of the reviews and walked into the theater with almost no preconceptions about the film; when it ended I sat back absolutely stunned at what I had just watched. I later discovered that P. T. Anderson was only twenty-seven years old when he made this masterpiece.
Morgan Meadows I watched it for the first time a couple of months ago when it popped up on Netflix as a friend had recommended it a while back. All I knew was about the 70’s porn setting so I was a tiny bit skeptical. At the end I knew it was one of my favourite films of all time, a funny, sad and well-made film about longing for family and a sense of identity. I’ve rewatched it plenty of times since!! 🙂
From 1972 to 1986 Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other groups in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold out Arenas and Stadiums. I just saw them in Toronto July 18 2019 ( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agree they are the best live act in the world and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. They are in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. So if this is being under rated...I would love to be under rated this way...LOL The Legends in the Music Industry call him the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO!
ELo is iconic! I listened to their tunes as a young sailor,and the music hasn’t gotten old only in peoples minds,My favorite is All over the world.If this song can impact world peace so be it!
@@Claudia-Cafarelli ELO is extremely popular, he doesn't know what he's talking about. ELO had more Top 40 Hits between the US and UK combined during their primary career from 1972 to 1986, than *any other band in the world* during that same period.
If The Beatles and ELO could've worked on an album together, that would have been amazing. Why the freaking hell is ELO so underrated? THEY'RE AWESOME!!!!!!
George Harrison of the Beatles and Jeff Lynne of ELO did work together as part of an amazing group called The Traveling Wilburys. The group also included Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan.
WHOABUBBAvideos jeff and george were in the wilburys together, jeff produced georges cloud nine album and george and tom petty worked with jeff on his solo album armchair theatre
WHOABUBBAvideos lFree as a Bird" and "Real Love" on the Anthology Albums of The Beatles. Almost certain that Jeff Lynne produced it. Good stuff!! Sounds like Beatles/ ELO. Peaceful Grooves! - C
Jonnny you may. I have an image in my mind 1977 seeing the violinist playing a deep blue violin starting this song live at their concert - was quite magical . The band was inside a gigantic 'flying saucer' which was their stage, it opened up at the start of the live show , smoke billowing out from all sides, lazers going everywhere. Was just unreal
My Gramma won't turn off the 70s channel on SiriusXM and I used to be annoyed by it until I realized the devolution of music and it was at its peak amazingness in the 70s, now I'm like her and I can't stop the music
All talk about the Toy Story 4, but...in Boogie Nights...what a scene sounding this song! This song is immortal, don't matter if you put it in a great movie for kids and adults, or a film about porn....this song link with everything with good vibrations in life.
Chelsea Balli Haha this is not true, Jeff Lynne denied that meaning for the song on an interview. But it's normal because the songs have severals ways to understand them n_n
I heard this on the radio when I was a kid and liked it a lot, even though I had no idea what it was about. I was struck by the augmented chord at "thing to lose " -- a chord that was very rare in the popular music of the time. Even then I was a music nerd!
This songs use as the closing track to Paul Thomas Anderson’s BOOGIE NIGHTS perfectly encapsulates everything the film is about: life, taking chances, looking ahead and learning from looking behind… it also exudes the kind of “beyond disco” flavor that the music of the mid to late 70’s had, and that is perfectly, lovingly captured in the film. I mean this with respect to ELO, it’s like 70’s pornography, classed up and nurtured on steroids. I love this music.
@@TheCompleteMental I'm pretty sure that she is insinuating that this is quality music or this is what music should be in contrast to modern music. Might take a few brain cells to comprehend that but, perhaps I am mistaken and you are actually agreeing with her and are complementing the song in some way.
Im using a bit of deadpan snark, must not have picked up on that. I've no doubt that she meant that in contrast of the music of today, in which case I have to call the existance of juvenoia into account. Plus the fact that many musical pieces in any time period are forgettable and bad, we do have some gems of today if you're willing to look and not read a book by the cover. But yes, this is a fantastic song
I saw ELO in Las Vegas right after this album was released. I was in front of Kelly Groucutt and he seemed real tall and his vocals were perfect. I will never forget that show. I was with my best friend Phil who is now gone. RIP.
First time I recall hearing this song was when I was 8, it was a few days after my bird died and I started getting teary eyed the moment I heard "It's a living thing, it's a terrible thing to lose". However the fact that it's such a good song made that sadness turn into a bittersweet feeling.
Grew up with this song when it came out.. forgot all about it as an adult.. and on fluke, managed to reconnect to it through Guardians of the Galaxy Video game. What an amazing connection and it brought me back to an amazing song and time in my life. What an effing freaky world we live in. Music over 40 years old now has been rekindled because of a video game.

Saturday, May 25, 2024. Hello all ELO lovers. I bought this album when was released. Ive played it quite often ever since. Im 66 years old now. But, this music never stops rockin.
Born in '84. Wasn't even a proposition when this came out. Killer track
I'm 60 years old now and I'm still enjoying this great ELO's sound.
Why does almost every ELO song sound like it was hand crafted by angels? Love this song
😂
IDK. Because it was I suppose 😉
Lol because it literally was! They are from the fallen angels who were cast out of Heaven for being rebellious! They are trapped here with us.
Two words: Jeff Lynne.
This song is about selling your soul. It's a given thing. It's a terrible thing to lose@@discodirk48
The summer of 1977. Those were the days!
🤘🎸🎼🍻🍻🍻🙏👽👣🚀😇
Yea it was! 21 and living in the Rockies, loving life and jammimg to ELO 👍
You could give the likes of Ed Sheeran an entire millennia and he wouldn’t be able to come up with a tenth of the creativity and originality in this one song.
John Lennon and also Paul Mc Cartney once said that ELO is what the Beatles would have eventually sounded like if they had continued as a band into the 1970's and beyond.
Clinton Hoffmann Really??
Probably bad phrasing, I believe he meant that John Lennon implied that if The Beatles would have continued, they would have sounded like ELO.
Viking Song Sounds like John Lennon, yep.
Viking Song yeah, whilst a genius he might have been, he was an arrogant one!
ELO weren't emulating.
Why the freaking hell is ELO so underrated? THEY'RE AWESOME!!!!!!
I don't know, always happened this with some musicians.
for me it's because they had only 3 songs I really like.
elo isnt underrated
No they are not really underrated, well maybe to younger millenials. But I'm betting you when movies (for ex GOTG has Mr Blue Sky in it) includes their music or any other old musics, these young millenials will start to appreciate the musics and you are not gonna like it because they are gonna fill the comment sections with their fantasy bullshits
They aren't so much underrated, as they are an echo of the Beatles. All their songs are "I am the Walrus".
My dad was listening to this song in '76 and I'm still listening to it in 2022. I'll listen to it until the fire turns me into dust.
when?
@@ytshortsclips31 Until God lends me life. Did you understand?.
@@AjStyles.14 Oh ok, now i understand.

Don’t blame you, it’s awesome
Those VIOLINS is what got my curiosity, then these synchronized voices, and then the whole song.. Definitely another beautiful song..
Then I was hook. ELO💕
Out of this World ..👽🤔🚀👍🎸🍻🍻🍻🍻👣
This song was such a perfect choice for the end of Boogie Nights. So good that it makes me cry just thinking about how perfectly used it was.
I agree. It was PERFECT!
I know, Boogie Nights is a great film. I was 18 when it came out and god damn I just want to go back and say sorry to her.
Jeff Lynne (who said he didn’t like movies with violence or sex) apparently threw his hands up at the end of the film when this started playing and said it was the best film he’d ever seen! The song is great in that it sort of reflects on Eddie/Dirk’s journey and where he’s been and where he is now (although did he and the others really grow?)
Andrew Burgemeister agreed. Though sentimentally it’s perfect, one has to ask whether instead of growing everyone just relapses at the end of the film
WSP yeah, it’s the whole thing, things are better than when they were at rock bottom, but did they learn anything? Although maybe they feel more comfortable with themselves than they did at the start with their identity and who they are within the “family” and maybe that’s enough for them (which you could say is symbolised through finally seeing Dirk’s Dong at the end lol)
I'm only 11 years old, but my grandpa played me a couple ELO songs over Christmas break and now there one of my favorite bands.
Dive into everything you find, kid. Reggae, hip hop, metal (good metal), Americana, soul, jazz... Find 1 thing you love about every genre and apply it to your taste. Dive deep.. Tchaikovsky deep.

Jeff Lynn is a musical genius. He hit the nail right on the head with this song❤❤
Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Oh rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and sliding
It's magic
And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, ohhh higher and higher baby,
It's a livin' thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose.
Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day, I'm takin a dive
Oh moving in line when you look back in time
To the first day, I'm taken I'm taken
And you and your sweet desire,
You took me ohh, higher and higher baby
I'm takin a dive. Off the stage. Hey!!
Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide

It's a bad dream, I'm takin' , I'm takin'
And you and your sweet desire
Don't you do it ,

One of the most beautiful compositions and recordings in the history of music!

All talk about the Toy Story 4, but...in Boogie Nights...what a scene sounding this song! This song is immortal, don't matter if you put it in a great movie for kids and adults, or a film about porn....this song link with everything with good vibrations in life.
I am a star. I'm a star, I'm a star, I'm a star. I'm a big, bright shining star. That's right!
perfect ending to a perfect flick
ELO is like the production of the 70s and it’s more disco-like sounds mixed with the genius of the Beatles and their style. It’s really great
True greatness, reminds me of being young.
Fall of 1976 for this song which is one among many in the soundtracks of our lives...
Amen to that brother!
This song always makes me smile.
Max Perdue I have to agree
It's actually not a happy song, it's about pro-life vs pro-choice hence, abortion.
Chelsea Balli Haha this is not true, Jeff Lynne denied that meaning for the song on an interview. But it's normal because the songs have severals ways to understand them n_n
It always makes me cry, for obvious reasons and it sucks because it’s a great catchy song
all of their song make me smile
I've loved this group since my schooldays in the 1970's and still love them today - awesome!
I heard this on the radio when I was a kid and liked it a lot, even though I had no idea what it was about. I was struck by the augmented chord at "thing to lose " -- a chord that was very rare in the popular music of the time. Even then I was a music nerd!
This is kinda music which never gets old and die
“ I'm a big, bright, shining star."
Such a futuristic sound they were for sure ahead of their time.
I can't tell how many 100's of times I have heard or listened to this song since my childhood in the 70's, but EVERY TIME, goosebumps.
I don’t know why but I just love that “don’t you do it, don’t you do it” at 1:50 🖤
I think I like that even better than the one at 2:52.
This song is like magic.❤️
Truly is ❤
“Oh, I’m rolling and riding, and slipping and sliding…”
I see what you did there
This songs use as the closing track to Paul Thomas Anderson’s BOOGIE NIGHTS perfectly encapsulates everything the film is about: life, taking chances, looking ahead and learning from looking behind… it also exudes the kind of “beyond disco” flavor that the music of the mid to late 70’s had, and that is perfectly, lovingly captured in the film. I mean this with respect to ELO, it’s like 70’s pornography, classed up and nurtured on steroids. I love this music.
Shout-out to my homies who haven't seen this band on Acid 😉🕶️☮️
Absolutely love ELO even after all these years. Jeff Lynne is brilliant!
Got a hold of this album when I was 14 in 1980 and I wore it out!
there's just something about that violin and cello/horn mix in the intro...genius
Dang, music has gone down the toilet. I miss when awesome new songs use to come on the radio.
this is music
not whatever ppl say it is today
Jeff Lynne's ELO the best ever!
Ok? Someone with a quarter of a braincell can see that
@@TheCompleteMental I'm pretty sure that she is insinuating that this is quality music or this is what music should be in contrast to modern music. Might take a few brain cells to comprehend that but, perhaps I am mistaken and you are actually agreeing with her and are complementing the song in some way.
Im using a bit of deadpan snark, must not have picked up on that. I've no doubt that she meant that in contrast of the music of today, in which case I have to call the existance of juvenoia into account. Plus the fact that many musical pieces in any time period are forgettable and bad, we do have some gems of today if you're willing to look and not read a book by the cover.
But yes, this is a fantastic song
One of my never gets old and i can listen to it a million times songs..Been a favorite since the day it was released ✌️🥳🍻
I saw ELO in Las Vegas right after this album was released. I was in front of Kelly Groucutt and he seemed real tall and his vocals were perfect. I will never forget that show. I was with my best friend Phil who is now gone. RIP.
RIP Messer Groucutt
First heard this on the radio back when I was in England in 2018!
ELO is my all-time favourite band, love every song so much.
First time I recall hearing this song was when I was 8, it was a few days after my bird died and I started getting teary eyed the moment I heard "It's a living thing, it's a terrible thing to lose". However the fact that it's such a good song made that sadness turn into a bittersweet feeling.
IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG!!!
Not a single got damn person here brought up Boogie Nights....i'm getting old.
Jason Johnson *waves* I’m here from boogie nights
Cuando oigo esta música siempre recuerdo el film " Booggie Nights ", del director Paul Thomas Anderson.
✌️This at the end of Boogie
Nights was so great✌️

Im 88 - and i still love ELO - up lifting group - now give me a fiver Jeff Lynn
Any positive comments will never rise to the level of this group. They are other worldly.
Grew up with this song when it came out.. forgot all about it as an adult.. and on fluke, managed to reconnect to it through Guardians of the Galaxy Video game.
What an amazing connection and it brought me back to an amazing song and time in my life.
What an effing freaky world we live in.
Music over 40 years old now has been rekindled because of a video game.
