(Submit New Electric Light Orchestra Lyrics) (Submit New Electric Light Orchestra Lyrics) Review about Electric Light Orchestra amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Telephone Line performed by Electric Light Orchestra I've loved ELO since, like a previous poster said, I was in the womb. Everything about their music is great. My dad is a huge fan, and it carried over to me. Their songs really speak to the soul and tell a story that touches thousands, which is something you don't get with modern music. elo/jeff lynne | Reviewer: benny livingston ------ About artist/band Electric Light Orchestra ELO was one of the most enfluentional bands in my life. I am 54 and when they were toghether I had everything they did on vynol.Jeff is one of the most talented singer/song wrighters of that generation.thanks for your music and for being part of CONCERT FOR GEORGE it was the most moving music i had ever heard.I was in tears the whole time. THANKS AGAIN,SINCERELY,Benny Livingston.From Alabama,ROLL TIDE. Getting to The Point | Reviewer: Kenneth Dahl ------ About the song Getting To The Point performed by Electric Light Orchestra I am an artist, and seeing Jeff Lynne sing in person literally brought tears to my eyes, not because of the lyrics, but because of the indescribable artist that he is. I've tried to write articles about his body of work, and I've torn them all up simply because human words couldn't get the job done. Brahms, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and all the others would have been PROUD to see what this man has accomplished musically in one lifetime! Honestly, if I were given the choice between meeting Mozart or Lynne, Jeff Lynne and myself would be enjoying a jar of ale somewhere in the "Greenwood". www.kennethdahl.com It's True | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Telephone Line performed by Electric Light Orchestra Who could have guessed The Buggles could have been so prophetic with "video killed the radio star"? Listening to Telephone Line all these years later has made me realise what a wonderful band of real musicians ELO were, with superb musical craftsmanship and genuine human emotion carefully wrought into every song. Of course, not being young, pretty or able to perform absurd and often inappropriate dance routines whilst miming, they ultimately had no chance. Curse MTV and modern "music" - it's lame, lifeless and plastic compared to songs like this. Beautiful, Melancholy, Dream-scape of Love | Reviewer: flapjacks ------ About the song Need Her Love performed by Electric Light Orchestra Well, that is alot of adjectives but this beautiful ELO song should be in a romantic comedy (movie), where the couple is separated and, hope against hope, something in Providence changes their paths and brings them back together again in true love. Please download this song whether you're young or young in heart-it is lovely. Anti abortion | Reviewer: MC ------ About the song Livin' Thing performed by Electric Light Orchestra This is supposed to be an anti-abortion song. An extended metaphor... "it's a livin thing, it's a given thing...it's a terrible thing to lose" the slide refererred to is a moral slide etcMoral doctrine masquerading as pop. The thing is though that I'm a fan of Geof Lynn but this song is played on our local US owned FM station far more than any other of ELOs many recordings. God would be so pleased. very powerful | Reviewer: Alyssa ------ About the song Telephone Line performed by Electric Light Orchestra i was dating this guy that i was really, really smitten with and this was "our song" i guess you may say and he really broke my heart. every time i hear this song it's such a flood of emotions and it's sad but beautiful Breathtaking | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Kuiama performed by Electric Light Orchestra Okay, so you listen to this song without the lyrics and it just has that beautiful, peaceful melody to it. But when you hear the words, they're packed with emotion, love, fear, hope..... It's just such a good song, it's hard to describe, just genius... "I wanted to run but they gave me a gun and they told me the duty I owed to my Fatherland. I made my stand," is probably the biggest quot from that song... I just love Electric Light Orchestra... kodi26 | Reviewer: Kate ------ About the song Telephone Line performed by Electric Light Orchestra This song has such special meaning to me. It was my first 45. It was purple and I was so young. Even as a small child, maybe 10 or 11 I could see the magic that ELO exuded. 30 years later I just downloaded it on my ipod. Hope my 10 year old will come to appreciate the classics that are still making a lasting impression on me. Not Electric Light Orchestra | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Dancin' performed by Electric Light Orchestra This song is performed in 2 parts by Olivia Newton John and by The Tubes. ELO is not involved with this track. As for a review, it's kind of silly. The rock part is an OK 80's track. The ONJ part is fake-40's-big-band. Idle labeling | Reviewer: Steve ------ About the song A Better Life (The Weatherman Knows) performed by Electric Light Orchestra I was a bit concerned about this early Jeff Lynne track being labeled under The Electric Light Orchestra 'Umbrella' (excuse the pun). The song released in 1969 was by Jeffs first major act 'The Idle Race' and deserves recognition as such, The Idle Race are little known enough already and this is a slap in the face for the other band members! ELO | Reviewer: Mugzie ------ About the song Telephone Line performed by Electric Light Orchestra ELO !! They are just awesome always have.. My husband and I only saw them about 6 years ago maybe even longer Sydney Australia and they were just as AWESOME as they were back in the 70's 80's.Telephone Line was just a beautiful yet sad song that i think many people would relate to, Including songs like LAST TRAIN IN LONDON, BLINDED BY THE LIGHT, EVIL WOMEN and soo soo much more of this wonderful band/orchestra. mugzie Elo's Electric Light Orchestra Live In Chihuahua, Chihuahua, México , Friday June 27th 2008 Centro de Convenciones.. | Reviewer: Miriam ------ About the song Livin' Thing performed by Electric Light Orchestra Agree... Absolutely, this is one of the best bands ever... They create a very special and completely magical atmosphere when they play... I'm so, so, so, so, so, so ,so Happy... Tommorow they're going to give a concert here in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, México, i bought the tickets , two weeks ago.. i'm absolutely happy... I can't believe, Elo's Electric Light Orchestra.. Live In Chihuahua Friday June 27th 2008!!!!!!! Thank you for this song! | Reviewer: Lin ------ About the song Hold On Tight performed by Electric Light Orchestra I heard this wonderful song on a chevy commercial and never knew it was a real song until my oldies station played it one day...so i googled it to find out the words to the french verse....I dont know where i was when ELO was on the charts because for some reason...i missed them entirely... Such a wonderful discovery. Now i will have to order some of their music to hear what else they did...I love this song! Good, simple to the point... words of encouragement....thanks so much ELO! Disturbing | Reviewer: David Van Kavelaar ------ About the song Kuiama performed by Electric Light Orchestra I was drawn to Kuiama right after my tour in Viet Nam with the USMC. The lyrics rustle up some rather uncomfortable and agitated feelings and yet there's a somber but gentle understanding of the emotions expressed in the song. To say Kuiama resonates between violent and peaceful emotions within me is an understatement. Sound confusing? I guess you had to be there. Great rememberings!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song It's Over performed by Electric Light Orchestra Yeah, really he overproduces his music, but at that time (1976), that sound very good. The worst thing of that is listeninig to great songs of Tom Petty and Traveling Wilburys in that kind of producction. Anyway, 70's ELO was really geat!!! Brings out the sunshine | Reviewer: Dawn ------ About the song Hold On Tight performed by Electric Light Orchestra I re-visited this classic ELO song recently after hearing it in a couple of TV commercials ..... being, shall we say, more 'mature', I remember ELO when they first started, and loved their songs. Hearing "Hold on Tight" again was like a breath of fresh air - it peeled back the years and made me feel young again. Fabulous melody, wonderful, uplifting and still - after all these years - meaningful lyrics. What more could one ask for? A true "Classic". I get choked up.... | Reviewer: Forcednduckshn ------ About the song Telephone Line performed by Electric Light Orchestra I get choked up listening to this song and then readings its review. This song has touched so many people. For the long distance lover - I know what you mean. I have been in love for 8 years with someone that doesn't know it. But I'm lucky to be with the one I'm with now...at least we still have the feeling to hold on to. Jeff Lynne's Haunting Masterpiece: Kuiama | Reviewer: Darren Johnson ------ About the song Kuiama performed by Electric Light Orchestra The Electric Light Orchestra is too often seen as a light pop-rock band, but "Kuiama" stands out as an example of Jeff Lynne's genius. The song starts out sounding like the waves on a tropical beach, and he pleads to a woman who has lost everything to stop her crying. He's trying to give her hope, now that she's ten thousand miles away. No more silver rain will hit the ground-- no more bullets, no more bombs. But in the end he is enlisted, and becomes part of the killing machine. He wanted to run, but they gave him a gun and they told him the duty he owed to his Fatherland. He made his stand. The last stanza is breathtakingly graphic, as he tells her, "Kuia, I just shot them, I just blew their heads open, and I heard their scream in their agony. Kuiama she waits there for me. True blue, you saw it through." He struggles to justify his violence, while taking full responsibility to the horror in the end, waiting for his love perhaps, or death itself, I don't really know. This is one of the most haunting songs I have ever heard, and it always reminded me of Vietnam when I was a kid listening to it. Ole, ELO! A Sign | Reviewer: Chris ------ About the song Hold On Tight performed by Electric Light Orchestra I was riding in the car one day after a hard day and this song came on. I saw it as a sign. If there is such a thing as signs, I think someone is trying to tell me something. I was able to relate the lyrics so much to my situation. Great song by ELO.
