i just got back here again to listen to it as a tribute for keyboardist Richard Tandy.... RIP Richard...
Without that dream, none of us would be here listening to this. Music? NO. A Masterpiece. Thank you Jeff
Beautifully formulated and precisely to the point. Kind regards Roland.
And we are so glad that Jeff had that dream. His music is a gift to the world.
Yes. I could not say it better.
Amen 🤗💗🙏🕊️🛸🎸🎻🎶
Beautifully put
My life long dream has been fufilled, and will be attending Jeff Lynne's ELO farewell concert in St Louis, Missouri Sept 6th.
I couldnt be more excited. Have loved ELO since I was an 11 year old girl in small town South Wales. The first record I ever bought with my Birthday money was Livin' Thing. Second record was Telephone Line. My love for ELO has only intensified over the years.
I believe i was 12 or 13 years old when i heard for the first time ` Telephone Line `. This magical and wonderful music accompanied me throughout life until today. I can only congratulate you to see the concert live. I am 59 years old from Germany near Munich and I have always wanted this too. Maybe it will still come true - I hope the farewell tour also leads to Europe......perhaps ? Enjoy this beautiful, unique memory. I wish you a good time. Kind regards, Roland
going in chicago in september with my 24 yr old who i have taught good music taste . i told her it was likely to be very emotional for me . Jeff's music has kept me going all my 56 years
When I was a boy, I discovered ELO and life was never the same :-)
same dude
And me...saw JL"s ELO in April I knew all the old songs..what was good that there were young people there too - and they knew were mouthing the words..
Same for me except it says "...when I was a girl..."! ;)
Lovely comment mate 💖
No better tribute to our Jeff !
Today is my 60th Birthday. Since I was 11 years old I discovered ELO, and fell in love with them. The first record I ever bought was Livin' Thing in 1976 when I was 12. Second record was Telephone Line. My love fir this amazing group has only intensified over the years.
Fast forward to 2024, and I spent the last of my meagre paycheck to buy tickets to see Jeff Lynne's ELO in St Louis, MO Sept 6th for their Over and Out tour. I couldn't be more excited.
Losing Richard Tandy last month was gut wrenching. But we will still have Richard in our hearts.
.... and today is my 61st, I'm quite drunk at the momen, so..... anyway, all the best to you and a belated happy birthday! 🎂
@the13thdukeofwybourne77 A belated Happy Birthday my friend. Anyone who loves ELO will always be a friend of mine. We are kindred spirits brought together by fantastic music that will live forever.
My youngest son who turns 30 this year is also an ELO fan because he associates the songs played many times by me in his childhood with what's good in this world. I raised him right for sure!
This brought tears to my eyes! Perfect song, perfect visuals. Jeff, looking back on his life with nostalgia...and what a life! He's 75. Don't know how much longer we'll be blessed with his musical genius, but I continue to treasure each day!
We are all blessed on this planet to have Jeff Lynne...
Well said!
ELO...This is the best band in my life.
Nie ma to tamto, pani Elżbieto.
Elzbieta Szczeblewski me too.
Yes you are RIGHT ,LOVE TO ALL
THANKS JEFF
Genesis is prog rock, Uriah Heep is metal, but what is ELO?... The only logical answer I've gotten is that ELO is it's OWN thing… I'm also surprised to hear ELO wasn't that respected in the UK.. Among the original albums or singles, only the single 'Xanadu' (1980) reached nr 1 and even that was sung by Olivia Newton-John.
me too**
I still don't understand the non-aging of Jeff Lynne's voice, but I'm not complaining. He sounds almost identical now to his music from the 70's/80's.
+Nick Oberly He hasn't even physically aged that much. Personally I think that my theory of him being an alien is true. It explains his obsession with spaceships. And his unreal music.
+Jon Don Von Bonbon "This is yerffeJ ennyL calling you from planet Earth."
Jon Don Von Bonbon
That would explain the beard and shades, to hide the scaly skin and third eye. It all begins to make sense.
Gods I love the internet.

You fulfilled your dream dear Jeff, you filled the lives of millions of people around the world with joy, even overcoming the barrier of time, here at 23 years old I couldn't listen to better music than yours, Thank you very much Genius. Greetings from Bolivia.
Lovely, consistent music, v high standard maintained over 60 years, astonishing achievement
From Paul McCartney, Ringo Star, Tom Petty and Joe Walsh from the brilliant 2012 BBC Documentary Mr. Blue Sky: The Story Of Jeff Lynne : " It took 4 Beatles and George Martin to accomplish what Jeff Lynne has done musically all by himself. Of course, by popularity and COMMERCIALLY, The Beatles are no 1 but musically Jeff Lynne rules. I am a huge Beatles fan but Jeff Lynne is better with Harmonies, Orchestration, as an incredible Producer, singer and songwriter". Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO!!! Jeff Lynne’s ELO will be on Tour this Summer and Fall 2024 32 concerts in the US and Canada ❤️👍💯
He was very influenced by The Beatles, his own words
@@johnsanjac Three great influences that shaped The Beatles' music include Buddy Holly, Little Richard, and The one and only King, Elvis Presley. While all three of these musicians impacted The Beatles strongly, Elvis' style, sound, and all-around charisma left a lasting impression on all four of the young, eager members. The Beatles were also influenced by Cliff Richard and The Shadows, Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry, The Beach Boys, The Everly Brothers, The Byrds, Ravi Shankar and Eric Clapton.
No way. It's like comparing champagne to fizzy wine. The Beatles were on their own.
@@letmetellyousomething123 In all respect, i will take the opinions of real LEGENDS over yours any day of the week. Just listen to their opinions on the Documentary stated above. You are entitle to your opinion. The Beatles and ELO are my 2 favorite bands.
Well said! 100%.
Wunderful Song Jeff !! ❤!! God bles you ! Thank you for the many Musik , its amasing and powerful 😊😊❤
TEARS IN MY EYES... THANKS A LOT JEFF YOU'RE A MUSIC GOD.
+Santana Icl i cry too :´) this is beautifull
+Santana Icl The Same with me. I am a big ELO Jeff Lynne fan since I WAS A BOY. Here in this video, we see him as a boy notice his hair all through his young life in Birmingham England, With ELO, his solo, etc. Fantastic Video
+Santana Icl VERY WELL SAID, ME TOO,TALENT BEYOND BELIEF
That was also my reaction the first time I heard this song.
Santana Icl I think part of this song is that he can't go back to when they were young singers and had a life ahead and had fun. now he's alone and sad cause he knows he'll never have none of those "beautiful days" like they used to. sort of sad.
Jeff Lynne is the most talented overall musician and producer ever, at the same time he is such a humble down to earth man with kindness.
He is the forerunner of Daft Punk who are the him of my generation. Just solid, inspirational musicians happy to do their stuff with no acclaim. Jeff is way better though I love them both.
How has he not been knighted ? Sir Jeff , services to great music !
@@robbbuglass8536 1000% agree!
Feels like he borrowed a lot of cues from the Beatles....
@@patrickconnell1621 And the Beatles borrowed a lot of cues from other musicians and singers.

I'm 61, and through the years, I have listened to the Out of the Blue album more than any other. Still not tired of it.
Put Jeff in the Hall of Fame already.
+rgator75 who cares about some hall
+valgehiir My thought exactly (it's just a garden shed anyway).

qqqwwtfdchhhhhhhbvvvbbv vvkvvbbv valgehisir
Who cares about the hall of fame - Jeff is an Icon .
He's an artist . He does not need that Hall of fame crap
+rgator75 I actually know someone who works at the R&R HOF Foundation. They do the nominating. He once said they were "running out of people" to nominate. I emailed him a list of 13 acts without even trying who should be in. Yes was one (they're nominated this year). Jeff Lynne was another. But to be frank, the committee are a bunch of morons. I mean Janet Jackson? Seriously?
I discovered Jeff Lynne and ELO on the Midnight Special. Their use of cellos and violins absolutely blew me away. I still remember the first times I heard Strange Magic, Evil Woman, and Can’t Get It Out Of My Head. I loved them all those years ago and I love them now. When I Was a Boy is a perfect story.
Same!
Jeff Lynne, you STILL have crafted AMAZING songs for your entire career, and you STILL have INCREDIBLE talent to keep those radio waves our company. Thank you for your inspiration, heart, and soul to SO many!!! This video PERFECTLY captures your autobiography = you STILL sound AMAZING, as if this were a lost track from your early career!!! WOW!!!
ELO is without question- the GREATEST band ever created! Their music is a gift to mankind!
The rare group who doesn’t make bad music (at least of what I’ve heard 😅)
💯😎👍
Yes, but not counting the Beatles!))
Amen brother!
@@vladimirnikolskiy No Beatles?....then no ELO...
@@beatlejim64 🤣
Jeff is my favorite Beatle.
Mine too....
Pienso lo mismo. Beatles for ever
The 5th beatle....

Jejeje
Jeff Lynne is our generation's Mozart.
Wally Wingert Yes!
Hes not that good through
Platinum are you kidding?
Plantinum Jeff is godd, don't get me wrong, but our generation's Mozart? That would be impossible almost
Good*
2:17 and the bow to the Travelling Wilburys members who've now passed on, in the style of the Wilburys own tribute in their End of the Line video.. never fails to bring a tear to my eye.
Roy Orbison's guitar on the rocking chair, just like in the "End Of The Line" video always gets me.
💯
My 4 yo grandson loves Jeff and ELO ❤️💙
Oh how you had a dream and thank you for sharing it with me and millions of others forever grateful thanks again
What a great song! I haven't listened to ELO for years, woke up with Telephone Line in my head, did a search, and stumbled upon this! There is still great music in this messed up world. Thank you Jeff, you have always been one of the best! This song made my day, peace.
nice :)
Very true Tom, yes we live in a messed up world, been listening to this man's music over 40 years now
and Jeff Lynne always come up with a great song
The world's always been messed up lads. It's just that we're older and less exuberant than we once were. Cheers.
Telephone line is a class song. A friend I used to work for introduced me to them, at the time I was a rave head but the greatest hits of ELO has so many great songs.
Yes so many great songs Jeff Lynne he has wrote
Jeff Lynne is the best overall musician and producer ever.
Dude… this guy makes countless great tunes. I can't believe it.
How is Jeff Lynne not ageing, especially his voice? His voice is never getting old. You can hear his recent live gig and his voice is still gold. This is main reason why I love Jeff so much!
Yeah what on earth is his approach to health? Just living a life of joy? It’s worked out wonderfully for him.
Jeff Lynne is letting his back up singers do more of the songs. He sings the main parts of the song that define it.
It is not common for a singer to still be as good as Jeff Lynne is at his age. Still, he is slowing down a bit.
You said it in your comment.... Jeff is gold not old !
Jeff Lynne is the best overall musician and producer on this planet!
For me, in my younger years, there were two of the best musicians on the planet - Jeff Linne and the king of pop music Michael Jackson himself.
Yes
@@user-rus197 Lynne
From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I saw them in the Summer of 2019 on the US and Canada Tour...( 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. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO! Please Tour in 2022!
I'm young. I'm on the border of Millennial/Gen Z. My dad introduced me to Mr. Blue Sky when I was a boy. We'd go on drives to escape our hectic lives, and get away from it all. Those were some of the most memorable moments of my life. I hope Jeff lives forever. His band's music affected me so much, and in a good way.
Early one morning in the 1960's Jeff Lynnes mother shouts come on Jeffrey your going to be late for work.. Jeff said I'm not going to work anymore mam I'm gonna be a pop star.. True story guys.. the rest is history Jeff Lynne up there with the Beatles and the best..
I live in Birmingham,and not too far from where jeff lynne lived when he was a boy,this song has arisen an aroma of days gone by,jeff is simply a Birmingham lad,through and through,and jeff has been sent to us all as a gift from our Lord,to enrich our lives,so i say thankyou Lord,and thankyou jeff lynne,without the music of the beatles/lynne/scott morgan,and dylan,music simply wouldn't be the same
A gift from the Lord . truely:)

Not like your spelling..truly ..haha
Very well said to Peter Need that is
don't spoil it by bringing the lord in to it!
don't spoil it by bringing the lord in to it!!
I bought the album cd off the back of this track and was not at all surprised to find every track is a gem. Not a dud anywhere. Genius Jeff Lynne. He plays all the instruments and pays great respect to his old late mates from The Travelling Wilburys Tom Petty, George Harrison and Roy Orbison by writing and performing songs in their own indevisual style, very clever and so respectfull. Class artist of highest order is Jeff Lynne.
I’m so glad he had that dream. I’m looking forward to seeing him on tour 9/06/2024 ❤
Jeff Lynne is a Music God!
Bulls eye!
Jeff Lynne wrote all ELO's songs except "Roll Over Beethoven". Jeff Lynne is ELO!
From the beginning he had lots of help from the genious Roy Wood❤️
Jeff Linne......A North-West HERO!
@@pizzaquasar The album was "On The Third Day".
Jeff Lynne is the best overall musician ever and a freaking good producer ❤
Each scene going through Jeff's life...gosh what an emotional music video. Time is so precious and how lucky are we all to be around at the same time to have enjoyed all these decades (even if I've only had the luxury of the past two 😉)
I hope we have many, many more years to enjoy Mr. Lynne. So much love! 💓
Jeff Lynn is the most amazing musician, producer, song writer we have ever had. A true legend.
Maybe time for Jeff to become Sir Jeff??...long overdue for sure
"Alone In The Universe" is such a great album. I bought the CD because Jeff is such a great producer that I wanted to hear high quality audio at its best. And this is at its best!
Absolutely!!!
“Don't want a job cause it drives me crazy. Just wanna sing, "Do you love me, baby?"
Right there with you, Jeff.
In this modern world, Jeff Lynne is one of the only artists that makes REAL music. A true master of musical art and a very skilled craftsman, he will be forever in the heart of music :)
There's still a load of autotune on this he should have insisted they take it off, he definitely doesn't need it still has a great voice.
Actually there are lots of great musicians nowadays
@@pedrofunes1278 Musicians like Jeff Lynne are a dying breed. Music isn't nearly what it used to be.
Andrew Olson just have to look deeper. There are thousands of good new bands & singers
@@lukasheaysman4662 Jeff is special. Yes there is still many artists that are good today but Jeff Lynne is our time’s Mozart
Beautiful song! Cool how the video shows the sort of silhouetted moments from his career -- Traveling Wilburys, etc. Always such an amazing quality to his songs. Some songwriters, when you hear their songs, the songs are OK, but don't leave you with much when they are over. And then you have people like Jeff Lynne, whose songs not only have melodies that stay with you, but also have depth, insight, feeling. He must be a very interesting guy to know. He has lived his dream, and entertained us, for half a century. When you hear a Jeff Lynne song, you can't get it out of your head.
Nice play on words at the end of your post!
I see what you did there!
When England created the official title of O.B.E, music like this is what it was meant for.
From what I know, the Order of Benificient Excellence (O.B.E) was created during WW1 to honor English civilians who excelled in life and did incredible things.
It is an honor that is not given out much and must be earned. Jeff Lynne has, in my opinion, more than earned that title by providing the world with his brilliant music for so many years.
I would love it it someone from England could let me know if I got the history of the title of O.B.E correct or not. After all, I am just a rebellious American cousin to Britain.
I love Jeff's genius from the first song I heard. It happened about 30 years ago. Today I am 56 years old, and, as then, in my youth, I am waiting for Jeff's new masterpieces. And they will, believe me. I feel :) M.Yu.Selivanov, Russia, Khabarovsk, Far East.
Absolutely beautiful video. And Jeff Lynne continues to be one of the most underrated songwriters and musicians Just exceptional!
No way is he underrated
Paul McCartney said ELO are the band the Beatles should of become.
I believe the expression is "that really hit the spot." Oh man, that felt good. I am old enough to have been around for the original wave of ELO hits, during my Beatles-infused youth, and to hear this now makes me feel that the world has been restored.
Tyrion Lannister great days I bet
I'm still hyper after seeing the Out Of The Blue Tour back in 1977. And the Time Tour 1981. Except by 1981 he had replaced the strings with synths. Wasn't quite the same.
Too right
Jeff Lynne: Musician, Producer, Genius. I've been hooked on all his music since 1978.
Jeff Lynne, is a legend. A superb mini story - in 3-4 mintutes! Arrangement - as usual........beautiful!!
Jeff's such a craftsman and a perfectionist. He touches our souls with his music.
He does WHAT?!!
Too right
without Words, Just Beautiful...
Laleh
Jeff Lynne is a genius and that is no exaggeration
Just when you think Jeff Lynne probably can't create more beautiful music, he does. I'm 66 and I've been blown away by his music since day one of ELO. Thank you Jeff, with all me heart !
Just amazing! - how this man can sound as fresh as he did in the 70's is quite unbelievable. One of the UK's finest ever musicians, right up there with Lennon and McCartney
Something in this reminds me of Free As A Bird by The Beatles
+leokimvideo Know what you mean! Also Whiter Shade Of Pale?
Jeff Lynne produced it.
+leokimvideo It reminded me more of Jet - Look What You've Done as they both sound alike.
+leokimvideo Yes, the descent of notes in the chorus part reminds me of Procol Harum's ''A Whiter Shade Of Pale''.
Every Jeff Lynne song reminds me of Beatles.
Ahh. All the Beatles loved and worked with Jeff, 3 choosing him to be their producer. He never got to produce any of John's work whilst John was alive sadly (..but did produce posthumous John songs -Free As A Bird won a grammy) yet John knew him, worked with him and thought the world of him, even saying "ELO picked up where the Beatles left off." It doesn't take a genius to hear Imagine, Hey Jude and Watching The Wheels chords meshed with George's influence and Ringo coming in on the kit. You did them all proud Jeff. Only you could do that and still make it yours whilst allowing the listeners to hear your homage to those you respected and who respected your genius right back. Brilliant song. Brings a tear. 👏👏👏👏💖
Electric Light Orchestra
When I was a boy, I had a dream
All about the things I'd like to be
Soon as I was in my bed
Music played inside my head
When I was a boy, I had a dream
When I was a boy, I learned to play
Far into the night and drift away
Don't want to work on the milk or the bread
Just want to play my guitar instead
When I was a boy, I had a dream
And radio waves kept me company
In those beautiful days when there was no money
When I was a boy, I had a dream
When I was a boy, I had a dream
Finding out what life could really mean
Don't want a job cause it drives me crazy
Just wanna sing, "Do you love me, baby?"
When I was a boy, I had a dream
And radio waves kept me company
In those beautiful days when there was no money
When I was a boy, I had a dream
When I was a boy
Thx 🙏 ☺️ 💕 🎶 for the lyrics 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 🤗 hug 🤗
We already had it memorized but thanks
Gracias por la traducción como siempre Jeff nunca defrauda buena música y mejor letra 👋👋👋
@@anamartinez6456 que?
When I was a girl I loved the music of Jeff Lynne, and I still do 40 years later. What a beautiful tune and sweet video. So glad to hear his music again, and to see ELO get its recognition in the Hall of Fame 2017!
Эта музыка будет вечна.Хочется чтобы она никогда не кончалась.Такая прелесть.Один раз услышал и уже никогда не забудешь.
Эта музыка будет вечной если я заменю батарейки:-))
Удачи, тезка!
Клип тоже прекрасный
Это музыка навсегда в моем сердце с 81 года.
Джефф не перестаёт удивлять!
Солидарен с Вашим мнением!
Jeff Lynne is a brilliant genius. His music is the epitomy of pop song writing. What an amazing song. I've collected every recording and he is incredible. I saw him in Detroit in 2018 and plan to see him again in '19. It was like watching a live studio recording with a full orchestra ... perfection on all levels with a light show. Got my tickets for LCA !
Time Machine? Lets take me with you. Pleeaase!
I'm 54 now, and I think it has taken me a half century to realize how great his compositions have been. When I was a kid living in Texas in the 1970s, I loved those ELO songs.
Dear Jeff Lynn, think what you want. You are master. we remember you in the farthest corner of the world. Greetings from Poland
absolutely love the elo signature sound. just timeless.
The great Jeff Lynne has a new album out since November 1st, 2019. Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA is still Touring! From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I saw them again last Summer of 2019 on the North American Tour...( 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. He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, and so many others... Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO! Please Tour in 2021!
Best Classic Rock ever! Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO!
After the amazing opening song, When I Was A Boy, the Alone In The Universe album maintains great quality throughout, although none of the other songs on the album surpass When I Was A Boy. Jeff Lynne is a pop genius, no question about that and he's still going strong in 2022!
The master is back.
“Don’t want a job cause it drives me crazy, just want to sing do you love me baby?” - J. Lynne
Jeff Lynne is the elite of the elite.❤❤❤
“Out of the Blue” was my introduction to ELO and everything grew from there. Everything Jeff worked on had a quality and presence that defies definition. It is otherworldly.
Jeff Lynne is a Music God and the best Producer ever.
In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He previously has received three Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate songwriters and composers, including the award for outstanding services to British music.
Just my opinion.This is the most honest song he's ever written.Straight from the heart.
The guitar in the rocking chair is a callback to the Traveling Wilbury's video "End of the Line". Roy Orbison died after the song was recorded, but before the video was made. This is how the Wilburys presented him in the video during his vocals. EOTL is a great video with Jeff at his best, post ELO.
His voice is so calming, amazing!!! ELO rules
How bloody good is Jeff Lynne..... so underrated!
Such a Beautiful Song…and Thankful Jeff had this Dream!💙
I love Jeff Lynn and I have always loved his music. How did I not hear this song before?? Once again, what a beautiful masterpiece!!!
Absolutely sublime. An amazing song matched with a superlative video. Cannot begin to describe how great 'When I Was a Boy' is, and want to see this get all the success Jeff and every one associated with it deserves. Finally...please bring Jeff Lynne's ELO to Australia!
+MrAgm65 no hay mejor descripción que sublime saludos amigo
+MrAgm65 This was simply beautiful.
+MrAgm65 hopefully soon here in the uk
Don't forget your neighbouring country New Zealand
Me pregunto cuando un director o directora de cine hara una pelicula sobre la ELO, la vida de Jeff Lynne y la repercusion que ha tenido su musica en la sensibilidad de tantas generaciones y de tantos paises!
It took 4 Beatles and George Martin to accomplish what Jeff Lynne has done musically all by himself. Of course, by popularity, and commercially, The Beatles are no 1 but musically Jeff Lynne rules. As a huge Beatles fan, I have to admit Jeff Lynne is better with Harmonies, Orchestration, as an incredible Producer, singer and songwriter. Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO!!! Please Tour in 2022!!!
the fifth Beatle
Couldn’t agree more
Absolutely agree with your statement 100%
Then why is Paul McCartney the richest songwriter in the world, and not Jeff Lynne?
@@develishbond2g538 Read again by popularity and COMMERCIALLY the Beatles are no. One but musically Jeff Lynne rules just ask Paul. From the 2012 brilliant documentary Mr. Blue Sky The Story Of Jeff Lynne… Listen to Paul talking about Jeff Lynne and other music Legends.
Pride of The Midands Jeff lad.
Your videos make me happy I love your songs and video because they all have a story especially this one. 🛸❤️
Jeff Lynne's ELO is the best music therapy in this world.
Beautiful
I've loved this song since I first heard it. I feel it's the best ELO song I've heard since Balance of Power. In fact, this entire album brought back the ELO we so desperately need that Zoom never achieved. But, today, I saw the video for the first time and I was blown away and I started to cry; I know there's only a matter of time before he goes the way of George and Roy and it's killing me inside. This video is his legacy.
Jeff Lynne is the fifth beatle , his musical talent is admirable.
Discovered ELO in the seventies . An old boyfriend used to play their albums and I was hooked. Thanks Steve where ever you are.
I love the end, where you can see the ELO ship red/yellow/blue colors reflecting on the boy's face.
When I first heard this song, I cried! It sounded like it was written about my son. Once he picked up a guitar, his whole world changed! Still pursuing a full time music career. He has opened for Trace Adkins, Marshall Tucker and Molly Hatchett! The pandemic really put the crimps on touring. Hope they can get back out there soon!
I finally got to see ELO last night in Pittsburgh p.a.
I've been a fan since I was 13. I'm 56 this year and I can honestly say my life is complete.
What can I say about Jeff, that hasn't been said by many. He's simply great!
Good to see God making music, again.
Amen
Amen to that, brother. This song is so excellent. Jeff just never loses it. It's like he just gets better as he gets older. I've been listening to him for about 45 years and it just gets better and better. This video is excellent, too.
+Al Scarbrough yep!!!
Jeff Lynne is per George Harrison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh and many others, the best overall Musician they have ever met. Great song!
I have loved, fought, danced and dreamed to the music of Jeff Lynn's 'ELO' for all of my 60 years upon God's Green Earth... I was diagnosed with an incurable illness this year and I am going to have 'ELO's' "Ticket to the Moon" played at my funeral. I can't think of a more beautiful and fitting song to say goodbye to the world.
One of the greatest musical gifts to humanity. May your music live forever, Jeff!

The Electric Light Orchestra was the first band I fell in love with as a kid. This video encapsulates ELO and Jeff Lynne's story. I cannot begin to tell you how much this video touches my soul. Very well done.
The rocking chair with the guitar in the Wilbury scene. RIP Roy.
That one could also be for George Harrison....my first thought.
@@lamargalloway4556 George Harrison played on strat.
@Christopher Bingham Roy Orbison.... from the Traveling Wilburys... That's what the guitar in the rocking chair is about. As in the video for End of the Line, shortly after his death. Roy was a big hero of Jeff's as well.
ELO hasnt always been my favourite band for tunes but this song changed my view on them and I think the last time i heard a song from ELO was when i was driving home in my dads van from skiing lessons. Amazing song.
