Absolutely! And when ELO is used - it's the obvious party hits. ELO music has appeared in at least five big movies in the past ten years (Super8, American Hustle, etc) but it is the party hits from exclusively the '77 - '79 period. It's great to hear them being used, but yes, there's so many genuinely cinematic and atmospheric tracks by early ELO that would work perfectly for so many films. The last minute of this track (3:47 onwards) has always reminded me of the end (spoilers!) of the recent(ish) BBC adaptation of Great Expectations where Miss Havisham sets fire to herself and collapses in slow motion among the decaying wedding breakfast room, while Pip turns to go back to her in the house.
An album that begins with Tightrope intro and ends with Shangri-La outro has to be amongst the best ever starts and finishes to a record in the history of recorded music
If you ask people about ELO they are impressed by songs like Mr. Blue Sky, Sweet Talkin' Woman and Telephone Line. But the jewels of ELO are hidden in their discography. Like "Concerto for a rainy day" and this song. When I was a small boy I couldn't stop to listen to the end of Shangri-La, sending chills up and down my spine.
@Jack Bauer Hey pal I wasn't personally saying mic drop, since I'm not a teenager. I was referencing your "Mic drop." Which made you look very cool by the way.
I think all of you tying to argue that 29 isn't 'impressive', let's remember the vast number of artists, even relatively popular ones in the 70's, who were never able to write a masterpiece AT ALL, at ANY age.
Such a record breaking hit by Jeff Lynne. I have got to admit the final piece of the track is just iconic. No other band can ever compete this classic and the way ELO did was perfect. No wonder i love this band and i never want it to become a cover version, this song should be left alone. My love for the Electric Light Orchestra has never faded away and it means a lot to me. Every song from all their albums holds a special key in my heart. ( P.S God bless you ELO )
@@maskutchitamagotchiworld1911 I agree with everything you say....however so far (as a new real ELO fan) I prefer their ALBUMS FROM ABOUT 1973 TO 1981 more than their later ones.....the tracks on those albums up to and including "Time" seem MORE CLASSIC AND MEMORABLE somehow
That finale is without a doubt the best piece of music Jeff Lynne has ever composed, and probably the best piece of music I've ever HEARD. The violins, mixed with the haunting chorus, Jeff's amazing vocals, and the beautiful opera vocals is pure bliss...
@@JBofBrisbane It was composed by Jeff Lynne, with string arrangements by Lynne/Clark, so while Lynne was the mastermind behind this, Louis Clark still deserves a good chunk of the credit.

LMFAO (Laughing my flipping arse off) people are soooooooooooooooooooooooo estupido (stupid in Spanish's if you are unfamiliar with foreign language) 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗿🗿
@@TheCRTProductions Are you stupid or something. I'm obviously being ironic. Nobody actually talks like that. Also wtf?!?! I love ELO. The fact that I have a meme as my PFP doesn't retract from that.
My favorite ELO song. Remember A New World Record being released as a 12 year old in 1976. Jeff Lynne is without doubt one of the greatest songwriters of all time. The whole band were professionals and very talented. This music was from a era when tunes were tuneful and words meant something. The 70's was the greatest decade for music......
My brother died not long after this masterpiece was released and still today after all these years when Jeff sings "I will return" it still makes me cry, I guess that's the emotion of great music.
I lost 4 friends in a terrible car crash in 77'; this song I played through the long week I endured, as I said goodbye; the ending - "returning" - wrenched the sorrow for my soul and the tears from my eyes.
Good God that outro. That was just too intense. Music doesn't get to me easily, but that got me tearing up. Jeff Lynne is like the second-coming of Mozart, man.
From 3:47 onward is the best part of this song. It sounds almost "haunting" in a way and beautiful in other ways. The back and forth vocals of Lynne and soprano Mary Thomas seem to be a perfect end to the song. Without a doubt, one of Lynne's finest songs, and Lynne himself has said that "Shangri-La" is one of his favorite ELO songs along with "Turn to Stone".
That outro is still one of the most oustanding outro of their discography and music in general. It's like a secret door to the nirvana, only the few patient listeners are able to venture and be gifted. I wish it could last forever...That line "I WILL RETURN" echoing with that operatic female voice in the fade accompanying those strings arpeggios always make me bawl my eyes out.
According to a biography, George Harrison loved 'Telephone Line' from the same ELO album. He had a jukebox at his country mansion with that song in it.
I wouldn't say that. Out of the Blue was the best selling album of all time until Michael Jackson released Thriller. The fact that Jeff Lynne wrote it in two weeks is testimony to his musical ability.
the amount of brilliant tunes this band did is up there with the Beatles. Basically no shite songs on any of their albums. Radio stations play the same shit each and every day and yet they have thousands of other tunes they could play like ELOs etc.
My dad has this album on vinyl and I was listening to it for the first time about a week ago. I've always loved Mr. Blue Sky so I wanted to see if the rest of ELO's music was as good. I literally cried the first time I heard this song. The outro is just so beautiful and chilling that I guess my brain malfunctioned or something because I couldn't help but cry it just sounded so pretty.
Its about time the greatest group ever will be inducted in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. Way overdue. So many groups have one or two good songs on an album and you are hard pressed to find a bad song on any album by this legendary band
3:47 onwards is literally when you enter the world of Shangri La thanks to the beautiful instrumental section which makes so many of the great ELO songs so great
They are by far THE BEST symphonic rock band in history. No one does it better than Jeff Lynne and Company. The ending of this song takes you on an epic odyssey like so many of ELO's songs do. I thank my cousin Melissa for really getting me into their music. 💗🎸🎹
My Words: I really adore this classic by the ever legendary Electric Light Orchestra. Shangri-la is such a powerful song i have ever encountered. P.S My favourite piece @ 4:06. It is just the most beautiful song i ever heard. By god, my love for the Electric Light Orchestra is out of this world. My love for this spectacular band has been in my heart since 1986 and i was 3 years old. All these years later i still enjoy it after 35 tremendous years. I shall keep on loving ELO for many years to come, hopefully generations.
There's something so haunting about that intro sound. It reminds me of the feeling I get when I zone out in music form. I get completely lost and kind of forget where I am for a while, I'll even jitter a bit in reaction to whatever I'm imagining, then I just snap back. Idk why it reminded me of that but man, that tune hit that exact same feeling I get when I get completely lost.
Sitting here, waiting for Someone calling at my door, Too bad, I'm getting out of love. What's the use of changing things, Wonder what tomorrow brings, Who knows, I'm getting out of love. CHORUS My Shangri-la has gone away, Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude She seemed to drift out on the rain That came in somewhere softly from the blue Clouds roll by and hide the sun, Raindrops fall on everyone, So sad, I'm getting out of love.
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.🙏❤️👍
You lucky Guy you are... I had never seen ELO live😩😭 But how say's Mr. John Miles (RIP): ELO was my first Love and it will be my Last... ☝️🤗😎😃 Stephan S., Bad Schwartau, Germany...
I've always hated when bands fade out the last tracks of albums because they always feel unfinished in the end. Almost as if I'm waiting for the next track. But then there comes some albums that do it SPECTACULARLY. The way this album does it almost feels like your on your death bed and you're slowly being lifted up. I thought that A New World Record was okay at first but after a few listens, it easily rivals Out of the Blue.
I've listened to ElO SINCE I AS 1O IM 57 YEARS YOUNG NOW JEFF LYNNE IS A MUSICL GENIUS ITS FUNNY Cause Slade were my glam band all Englad Midlands and I'm a mate of David Hinds Steel Pulse Champion English reggae band from 1970s a still run ting hey Big up yourself breddaman
Jest największym do dzisiaj i na zawsze za jego najwspanialsze utwory pomijając inne zespoły to był mój najwspanialszy zespół z lat młodości do dzisiejszego dnia i do końca mojego życia niech żyje Jeff lynne jest wspaniały mam 62 lata i kocham ten zespół do dziś ❤❤
So many stories of people listening to this as a child on a vinyl. I cant relate because I'm quite young, love this music either way. ELO is probably one of my favourite groups ever. My favourite songs by them are tightrope and ticket to the moon, or midnight blue, or anything they've put out. Ever.
Hermoso tema ..recuerdo mi matrimonio que ya fue .. lindos recuerdos de mis niños que estaban muy niños mi ex esposo le gustaban todos estos bellos temas...se fue el amor..pero queda el recuerdo...
I must have listened to this album at least 50 times in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It's even more beautiful now. Jeff Lynne's singing voice is spectacular.
My father passed away on Christmas this year. He introduced me to so many brilliant bands, including ELO. This song was played in his car a lot. The outro is very bittersweet. I love you, dad. I will always miss you.
I’m 65. I still adore Jeff Lynne & ELO. I rate them one of the best bands ever. Jeff Lynne is pure genius. It’s on my bucket list to see them one more time whether he comes to Australia 🇦🇺, or I will go overseas to catch a concert
4:00 to 4:10 might only be 10 seconds but that secondary piano that kicks in as brief as it may be is just stunning! I've probably rewind that a few hundred times now, the best.
Yeah really. Music come and music go, but there will never be another ELO. "The sons of Beatles". It's from another planet, they traveled here in that spaceship to send their messages of joy and love. Jeff Lynne is a musical genious. 😎🛸

I am amazed that no one has ever used the end of Shangri-La in a film, it's such a powerful piece of music.
I thought I was the only one who thought that the ending is almost surreal great!
the ending is ELO's finest moment ever in my opinion.

@@thetelegothika5327 I miss Kelly Groucutt. He was the glue that held it all together.

THE MISSION OF THE SEECRET FORCE
Always counted this album as the best ever made. Highly subjective, of course, but I think it's inarguably a valid choice.
That is an extremely valid point. Difficult to think of any better open and close.
100% agreed, the start and ending to this album is spine tingling.

I agree about the chills. Very moving.
Strangely enough I don't really like Mr. Blue Sky. But I love their little gems like Wishing, One Summer Dream, Starlight, Living Thing, and more
This is especially true for thier older work like "ELO II" and "Eldorado."
Fire on High or 10538 Overture are absolutely amazing..
Easily one of the most beautiful, magnificent outros in the history of rock music.
November rain also have an epic finale. Ballads both. I wonder if Axl Rose knows Shangri-La?
The word "epic" is often overused. But it describes this outro (and the whole song) very nicely.
@@timonousiainen354 Agree.
Hit me first time and has never faded. Probably the pinnacle....With thanks Alison to Louis Clark and Richard Tandy
MAGNIFICENT 🪐🪐🪐🌛🌚🌜🔥🔥🔥
The ELO is probably the best ever rock band that hardly anyone ever mentions when they talk about great rock groups.
Their Own Style!
I had roll over Beethoven on a 45 in 1972 I was 12
They certainly deserve their space in time.
Listen just remove the part after "best ever rock band" and youre spot on
that's because they were always a lil bit too poppy ... but great music nontheless !
Possibly ELO's most beautiful ballad ever.
0p
la mas bella
This album also had the other two: "Telephone Line" and "Above the Clouds."
Try Waterfall.
This one and one summer dream.
The ending of this song is unbelievable, it transcends time.
Makes me just want to cry…so,powerful 😢
An epic outro.
The first 3:46 of the song is a lovely ballad. The outro takes it to another level. Truly a special piece of music.
100% to all comments above. JL pure musical genius!
He was just 29 years old when he created this masterpiece!
Absolute legend
@Bhavani Gopalkrishna Perhaps read it again
@Jack Bauer Oh you showed him. Mic drop. Such a badass. Thanks for undermining the work of anybody at the age of 29 or over.
@Jack Bauer Hey pal I wasn't personally saying mic drop, since I'm not a teenager. I was referencing your "Mic drop." Which made you look very cool by the way.
Jeff Lynne was 28 when writing and recording this song. He turned 29 on December 30, 1976.
I think all of you tying to argue that 29 isn't 'impressive', let's remember the vast number of artists, even relatively popular ones in the 70's, who were never able to write a masterpiece AT ALL, at ANY age.

The first and unique...
Yes 👍
The Beatles were ELO fans. I feel certain that if John Lennon had lived to see it; he would’ve been a part of The Traveling Wilburys.
He was the first member of Menudo
Good one!!
ELO are always ignored in best group lists. Criminally underrated.
Kinda gives em a certain specialness. Like they are a class unto their own.
I personally like Rainbow a lot more but ELO pretty much introduced me to 70s and 80s music
that must be your personal opinion far from being the truth
Well said
Mr Blue Sky was rated as the #1 Good Feel Song
The outro is one of the greatest moments in the history of recorded music!
God, the last two minutes of this song are so many levels of awesome.
You're so rite.... I get chills every time I even think about it.... So beautiful 🙏❤️❤️

this is genuienly the most beautiful piece of music i have ever heard in my life.
Shining masterpiece and it's never lost its Shine. Even after all these years
Jeff Lynne, I'll always love you. A genius you truly are, darling!
can we share him?
This is my favourite song of all time i love ElO
a great ending to a fantastic album
Claire Susan Taylor of Middleton, Manchester you'll never hear this and never know what we could have had. !!!!
Hurts huh :(
The Melody is Brilliant. I was in Pre-Univ Singapore 1981 when crazy Jeff fan first introduced ELO to me ha
One of the greatest endings to a song ever!
An underrated ELO classic!! I don't think Jeff Lynne ever came up with a bad song, Brilliant!!

I love everything he did bar the diary of Horace wimp which was a silly pop song imo
I dont know why but I love the way this particular ELO album ends, with a beautiful depressing song...
Kuiama is there best album closer in my opinion.
Just when you think you're done loving a Jeff Lynne song, the outro kicks in and so does your AWE!

highly underrated song. Glad i just found it today
No hay ninguna canción de este álbum que no me guste, todas las canciones están hermosas, pero ésta en particular no deja de sorprenderme
Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO the bestClassic Rock band in the world!!!
Hermoso tema ..recuerdo mi matrimonio que ya fue ..
lindos recuerdos de mis niños que estaban muy niños
mi ex esposo le gustaban todos estos bellos temas...se fue el amor..pero queda el recuerdo...
Bev's drumming is perfection
Bev’s drumming is ELO. His drumming is so much of the classic sound of this band. Surprisingly, some think it is uninspired.
I must have listened to this album at least 50 times in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It's even more beautiful now. Jeff Lynne's singing voice is spectacular.
My father passed away on Christmas this year. He introduced me to so many brilliant bands, including ELO. This song was played in his car a lot. The outro is very bittersweet. I love you, dad. I will always miss you.
Jeffs Masterpiece. Timeless
I’m 65. I still adore Jeff Lynne & ELO. I rate them one of the best bands ever. Jeff Lynne is pure genius. It’s on my bucket list to see them one more time whether he comes to Australia 🇦🇺, or I will go overseas to catch a concert
The 3:48 mark...the volume goes upppppp. :) Just Heavenly to me.
the end is my tears for my shangri la has gone away
Jeff Lynne and ELO have given us so much brilliant music. Thank you!
4:00 to 4:10 might only be 10 seconds but that secondary piano that kicks in as brief as it may be is just stunning! I've probably rewind that a few hundred times now, the best.

One of the sleeper groups in the 70 era or ever!
Puts on a great show to this day!
I was a teenager when this album was released and I played it until the needle on my record player wore out. LOL
RIP Richard Tandy
I wore out this album!! ELO's Masterpiece!!!
This Album ahead of its Time!! I just walked 2 miles listening, Got into my Car halfway through Shangrila! Incredible Album
INCREIBLE CANCION CON EL FINAL MAS EPICO DE LA HISTORIA DEL ROCK.....IMPRESIONANTE.
This song is a soul crusher
I feel like I'm listening to this song on a cloud in the After Life.
Wonder why my generation cannot make music like this anymore
Yeah really. Music come and music go, but there will never be another ELO. "The sons of Beatles". It's from another planet, they traveled here in that spaceship to send their messages of joy and love. Jeff Lynne is a musical genious. 😎🛸
People don’t care about the quality of music just the profit
La parte instrumental final es una obra maestra 💎💎💎💎💎

Painfully beautiful like only ELO can do
