Mr Blue Sky

Song of the moment! 'Mr Blue Sky' by Electric Light Orchestra. This song was written in 1977, can you believe it?? It really doesn't sound out of place at all today. It makes me so happy just listening, I really love this song! And the lead singer, Jeff Lynne, reminds me of Hyde from That 70s Show, hurhur. ELO's cool cos they were originally from another rock band. Then they formed this trying to give rock music a new direction, so they incorporated the light orchestra (a smaller orchestra popular in Britain then) into their music. Cool huh! Which actually makes their name a lil geekier than you would have thought. Cos they're literally an electric light orchestra -_-

UK really comes out with the best bands, the Beatles, ELO, Stereophonics, it goes on and on. ELO's other songs are a bit more obviously 70s, cos of the weird electronics =p but the other song down there, Strange Magic, is pretty nice too. Okay, listen now!!



Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' ev'rybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day hey,hey

Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mister blue sky is living here today hey, hey

Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?

Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, mister blue sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for

Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you

Mister blue sky, mister blue sky
Mister blue sky

Mister blue, you did it right
But soon comes mister night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way

Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?

Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you
