This song has one of the greatest, most recognizable intros of any song in rock history. Awesome chordal, piano pounding merging with Bev Bevin's crashing, cascading drums. Awesome and always takes me back to my youth.
Gosh I miss my dad. I just wanna break down every time I listen to this. Why did papa have to leave me at only 16 years old. I miss me and him listening to oldie music 😞
He's with you always especially when you jam this sort of stuff I know it's not the same but it's something to at least think about. Best to you and your pops in heaven
1977. Every other weekend I left the 100 degree central San Joaquin County Friday after work and headed for the cool Central CA coast. Me my 8 track and Out of the Blue wailing. It was pure freedom. Ah the 70s...
wow!! what a so bad ass band. 1976. the year i drove my 1967 malibu across the country with little money and a hope and a prayer and made to wyoming listening to ELO What a great time in my life!!
I drove my Grandma 4 doors Chevy Malibu 1978 big V-8 350 automatic first time driving in 1980 as a 9 grader public highschool and I bought a 1978 American Motor Pacer Station wagon in 1984 when I graduated from public highschool cost me $6,500 dollars I love Chevy Malibu going across America States from Arkansas to Oregon listen to rock and roll and gossip music and blue grass. Does 1967 Chevy Malibu looks like 1979 Malibu? I don't remember what it looked like. I was born in 1964 too young to notice.
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. - Revelation 18:3 KJV / he will also drink the wine of God's wrath, which is poured full strength into the cup of his anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb, And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.- Revelation 14:10-11
Most people do not realize that line has a link all the way back to the Beatles and then even further back to Elvis. The phrase in this song "There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in" was derived from a Beatles song called, "Fixing a Hole", that song starts with "I'm Fixing a hole where the rain gets in". The Beatles got that phrase from an Elvis song, "We're Gonna Move", where it says "There's a hole in the roof where the rain pours in". It's really quite amazing how one singer from the 50's, influenced a song 20 years later. Jeff Lynne said in an interview he was inspired by the Beatles. I would be curious if he knew this line actually went back to Elvis. My guess, based on his music awareness, he probably did, or at least does now

True that SFC. Being that the case, could Elvis possibly have picked up the phrase from the likes of a B.B.King, C.Berry, or another Blues artist that just happened to be jamming out at some nickle dime "hall". way back in the day of the 50s as you mention..or while he was out there on the road? Either way It's all good. Jefff Lynne is a Recording Genius.
I had the great privilege of meeting ELO in person at the Union Ball Sheffield University in 1973. A few months later they were on Top of the Pops and the rest is history. I came away from that gig thinking they are very very good and will go far. What a career. So sad I can't get a ticket for next year. Was there at the begining and would have loved to have been there at the end.. 😢
Almost 50 years later and this song is still such a banger . I was born in 84 and I gotta say the best thing my parents gave to me was the amazing chance to grow up hearing music like this and I am Soo greatful for that. I mean I listen to my own shit but there was something different about music back then I can't put my finger on it but it was just better it's hits different and the feeling is so amazing and nostalgic all at the same time. The music now just doesn't have any soul it feels hollow and just sounds like noise to me . Thank God for all the original classic rock bands even though I'm old enough now to where the shit I grew up listening to from my generation is now considered classic music. Fuckn scary to think that but it's true.
I never appreciated ELO back in the day. I was young and foolish I guess, but God damn they were magnificent. The voice, the instrumentation, timing are superb.
@@eclectica1 probably but for a company earning billions it's somewhat... well cheap! trying to save some pennies on music tracks. I find it very low honestly
From a time when - GASP - musicians had to actually play their own instruments! Oh the horror, no computer to help fake everything. Glad I grew up in a time when going to a concert meant seeing these groups actually play and rock. Thanks Jeff for some great music!
Love you ELO and I have listened to you since 70s. What a band of musical geniuses. I watch the 70s videos a lot because that’s when I first heard them. I love the present ones with Jeff Lynne too.
First time in ages that I've listened to ELO. I was absolutely binging them in December of 2021 - right before my 30 year old partner died suddenly & unexpectedly. After that, I couldn't listen to music for ages - because music was 'our thing' (he was a music producer & dj). But although he was a lot younger than me, he still loved rock/music from all decades ❤ I miss you Sam. When I listen to ELO now, I truly hope that from over the on the 'other side' that you recognise these awesome songs that I used to play around you, and that you rock-out along with me when I do now 🙏🤩 Another awesome band from England - "your country" Sammy. Hope you're doin' alright over there my little grasshopper. Miss you 💔 and sending you loads of love & *cuddles* xo
as a child of the 1960s its was 60s to 70s Beatles, 70s to 80s ELO Queen bee gees and fleetwood mac. I like some stuff from the 1990s but I seem to be stuck in this time warp, Love ELO and to be honest I hear the Beatles in their work
This is one of those songs that EVERYBODY can agree that it's damn good...But no one remembers it until it's randomly heard on the radio. #PartyMusic 🎉 👍🎆
This ELO song never gets old! This song fits my most recent ex-girlfriend perfectly! She is not only an evil woman, she is traitorous as well! I know I will find new love someday and I can do better than her! However, the wait for it to happen and the difficulty to make the pain go away is gonna be very hard for me! Still, I'm all the wiser for it because I learned from this, and I'll make sure it never happens again! Still, this song really helped me through the pain! Great stuff!

Back in my high school days > drove this kid home from track practice. Super nice kid. Told me his sister moved to California to be a professional musician. Chris and i werent close but had practice for a few months together. He was a year behind me and i didnt see him until 30 years later at a reunion. Well, I hadnt known Stevie was his sister until 15 years after high school. Im thinking she did well...lol. i saw Chris one more time, about 12 years ago at his sisters solo concert in Phoenix. We said hello from a far...I hope life has been good...
Año 76; este tema me recuerda un terremoto que afecto mí país, de 14 años, estudiaba básicos, clases suspendidas y yo enamorado como loco, cualquier mentira creíble le inventaba a mí madresita QEPD; para viajar e ir a ver a mía chica, a DIOS J. Gracias paso 62 años.
Face the Music, my favourite ELO album. Released on Polydor in 1975, it featured the first appearances of Kelly Grocutt and Melvyn Gale on bass guitar and cello respectively, and the legendary Ellie Greenwich doing backing vocals.
The older I get, the more I recognize what a keyboard wiz Richard Tandy was. I always thought the short sound after the chorus was the bass guitar. Now I see it's Richard and his magical keyboard. Awesome!
Happy Birthday Jeff Lynne born on December 30, 1947. He is an English singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist who co-founded the rock band Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Lynne
Always makes me smile and think of Lou RIP ❤️❤️❤️💔. I can’t believe it’s been 35 years. You’ve been utterly and painfully missed but I know you’ve been making music on the other side. I feel your presence ... I know you visit. We will be together again one day. Still, I wish we could have grown old together. Peace, love and so much admiration! You were so wonderful to me, a brother, friend, mischief maker 😈 Damn we had so much fun you will never ever be forgotten.❤️❤️❤️. Beautiful, fun soul...incredible smile, bright spirit. I was so blessed to know you.
The line “There’s a hole in my head where the rain comes in” was inspired by the Fab Four’s famous “Fixing a Hole”… No wonder since John Lennon himself proudly claimed that ELO were the “Sons of the Beatles”‼️ 💛🎶💙

Yep! ELO! Thursday, October 3rd, 6:52pm EST.😊
October 5, 2024 👍🏻
Yes from Missouri
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Moi ❤
2:42-2:46 one of the greatest transitions and greatest moments in any song ever.
Seriously sometimes I replay it over and over again it's so unique
Pussycat Dolls & Will.i.am had asked or borrowed it from them for their music "Beep".
Like fading from a sinister looking cloudy sky.
It's when you crank the volume in your car for 4 seconds!!😁
Something extremely 70s, sitting in my Dad’s 1972 Nova about it. Or maybe that’s just where I was every time this song came on the radio.
Evil woman, evil woman. I love you Mr Lynne for calling out the bad female among good women .Much love.
Can't believe Jeff Lynne originally didn't want this song on the album. It's one of their best!!! 😎
One of my favorite songs!
1977. Every other weekend I left the 100 degree central San Joaquin County Friday after work and headed for the cool Central CA coast. Me my 8 track and Out of the Blue wailing. It was pure freedom. Ah the 70s...
There is something so very melancholy & moving about the music of ELO. It goes way beyond Jeff Lynnes distinctive voice. Forever classics.

Does 1967 Chevy Malibu looks like 1979 Malibu? I don't remember what it looked like. I was born in 1964 too young to notice.
When my daughter was born, I had an ear bud in my ear to keep me calm. This song was on the radio as we welcomed her to the world.
This is the song that caused me to buy every album Jeff Lynne ever produced. I was NEVER disappointed. Thank you Jeff!
I've just been transported back to the time when I was in the 4th Grade.
I'm 50 now. I remember hearing this in the seventies and it's a classic then and now.
Amen brother. Good memories.
You made the wine now you drink the cup! Good lyric.

Yes, that is what men who go MGTOW say too.......
LOL
@@trippingjune I asked my Christian parents once in a restaurant "What does fornication mean?" They were mortified that someone probably overheard.
For no reason whatsoever in the middle of the night, ELO came to my mind and here I am playing their best songs and enjoying all the memories.
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in. Best lyrics ever.

I think that the problem with today's music is that they are doing vocal gymnastics instead of just singing.
All so very very true😊😮
Well, mate, I'm 72 and feel the same way about the late 60s music. Simple really - it was happy music, stuff to sing to with a smile on your face.
Fun fact: The line, "There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in," is an homage to the Beatles song, Fixing a Hole.
I never appreciated ELO back in the day. I was young and foolish I guess, but God damn they were magnificent. The voice, the instrumentation, timing are superb.
I was in college in 1975 when this came out. WILD TIMES !
Must of been amazing!!!
Grew up in the 70s and early 80s, flawless music
When this shit makes an entrance into your radio while riding around at night in GTA 4. What a vibe indeed
not anymore sadly as they cut it out with 60fps xbox series version....
@@papasnejk87 More likely that their rights to use the song expired.

Did it ?
There was so much good music /bands when ELO was making their way in the 70's that i hardly noticed them...but some of their stuff was excellent.
1976 what a year of possibilities. Great ELO 👍 🎶. Nothing comes close in 2022.
No better now in 2025
One of the best songs from the seventies 😊
Tears run down my face remembering how great those days were...
True musician. We were all so lucky to live in this time.

This song was the first of this orchestra and too number one in the radio of Costa Rica thanks ELO and to you Jeff Line ❤❤
This is my favourite 70s band! Songs cool.
They constructed and performed the music like no other band, totally unique sound, and its sad that they never got the credit they deserved.
Great song. This song came out the year I graduated from high school. 1976.
If only I could back in time through a time machine. 😊
My grandfather introduced me to ELO in 2015, now it’s 2020. And I still love ELO! My favorite is probably showdown
Wish I was born 40 years earlier so I could experience this amazing band and the amazing music of the 70s

The first time I saw ELO was on American Bandstand. They played Roll Over Beethoven. They stayed with me for over fifty years.
didn’t realize this is where daft punk got the sample for face to face
and the same artist that made Mr Blue Sky.
Also sampled by Pussy Cat Dolls (2:42) in their forgettable hit 'Beep'
Broooooooooo how did I never cop this
K youngin
ELO one of the greatest bands in the 80’s
GREATEST SONG OF THIS GREAT BRITISH BAND!!!✌🏼👏🏼 🎸🎤🎶🎵🎶🎶❤

Landslide of the brain happening its an amazing process rediscovering lost vibes.
You know this was one of the greatest showman, rock and roll band that lives on!!
For my beautiful mum up in heaven I love you and miss you so much ❤️🌹 xxxx
Sogno musicale di un tempo...che non c'è più!!!
Concordo! Nel 1975 avevo 19 anni....che ricordi
This Was a totally Amazing band
This band was so ahead of its time. So cool
I am so sad because i discovered this song only recently. I could have been enjoying this brilliant song for decades now.
Great group from the 70's,love this song!!!
Always makes me smile and think of Lou RIP ❤️❤️❤️💔. I can’t believe it’s been 35 years. You’ve been utterly and painfully missed but I know you’ve been making music on the other side. I feel your presence ... I know you visit. We will be together again one day. Still, I wish we could have grown old together. Peace, love and so much admiration! You were so wonderful to me, a brother, friend, mischief maker 😈 Damn we had so much fun you will never ever be forgotten.❤️❤️❤️. Beautiful, fun soul...incredible smile, bright spirit. I was so blessed to know you.
Sorry for Your loss...💜
THANKS for Sharing...💕
When our Love for another runs deep, so does our pain...

Amazing music ELO has. This band is underrated. Ive loved them since i was 10ish
The line “There’s a hole in my head where the rain comes in” was inspired by the Fab Four’s famous “Fixing a Hole”… No wonder since John Lennon himself proudly claimed that ELO were the “Sons of the Beatles”‼️ 💛🎶💙
And much more!!! Long live Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra!!!
@@fabfour7397 And long live ELO’s fans‼️
@@fabfour7397 Best regards to you, Fab Four‼️
