Mr. Blue Sky - Electric Light Orchestra

Según leí hace tiempo, esta canción fue elegida como la más optimista de una selección entre miles, o algo así...El caso es que es un temazo y aunque lo han quemado un poco en las radios generalistas que escuchan muchos viejóvenes (Kiss fm y similares) la incluyo porque ha sido nuevamente masterizada siguiendo las indicaciones de Jeff Lyne, líder, compositor y voz principal y han hecho un nuevo vídeo. 

Por lo que escucho, es evidente las masterización (fijaos en el solo de guitarra) y han eliminado la coda del tema original.

Desconozco quién tuvo la genial idea, pero es indudable que actualizar temas antiguos con vídeos modernos es adaptarse a los tiempos: no requiere mucha inversión, es un valor seguro y actualiza al artista para nuevas generaciones; a juzgar por el número de visualizaciones se puede decir que funciona bastante bien.

Espero que os guste



Morning! Today's forecast calls for blue skies


Sun is shining in the sky

There ain't a cloud in sight

It's stopped raining

Everybody's in the play

And don't you know

It's a beautiful new day

Hey ay ay!


Runnin' down the avenue

See how the sun shines brightly

In the city

On the streets where once was pity

Mr. Blue

Sky is living here today

Hey ay ay!


Mr. Blue Sky

Please tell us why

You had to hide away

For so long (so long)

Where did we go wrong?


Mr. Blue Sky

Please tell us why

You had to hide away

For so long (so long)

Where did we go wrong?


Hey you with the pretty face

Welcome to the human race

A celebration

Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin'

And today

Is the day we've waited for

Ooorrr


Oh, Mr. Blue Sky

Please tell us why

You had to hide away

For so long (so long)

Where did we go wrong?


Hey there Mr. Blue

We're so pleased to be with you

Look around see what you do

Everybody smiles at you


Hey there Mr. Blue

We're so pleased to be with you

Look around see what you do

Everybody smiles at you


Mister Blue Sky!

Mister Blue Sky

Mister Blue Sky-yiy!


Mr. Blue you did it right

But soon comes Mr. Night

Creeping over

Now his hand is on your shoulder

Never mind

I'll remember you this

I'll remember you this way!


Mr. Blue Sky

Please tell us why

You had to hide away

For so long (so long)

Where did we go wrong?


Hey there Mr. Blue (Sky)

We're so pleased to be with you (Sky)

Look around see what you do (Blue)

Everybody smiles at you

[Robotic voice:]

Please. Turn. Me. Ov-er

Livin' Thing - Electric Light Orchestra


Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
it's like magic
rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin'
it's magic
Chorus
and you, and your sweet desire,
you took me, higher and higher
it's a livin' thing,
it's a terrible thing to lose
it's a given thing
what a terrible thing to lose.
Making believe this is what you've conceived
from your worst day,
moving in line when you look back in time
to your first day
Chorus -- repeat
Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide
floating downstream,
so let her go don't start spoiling the show
it's a bad dream

Evil Woman - Electric Light Orchestra



 You made a fool of me
but them broken dreams have got to end

hey woman you got the blues

cause you ain't got no one else to use

there's an open road that leads no where

so just make some miles between here and there
there's a hole in my head where the rain comes in
you took my body and played to win
ha, ha woman, it's a crying shame
but you ain't got nobody else to blame
Evil woman, evil woman
evil woman, evil woman
Rolled in from another town
hit some gold, too hot to settle down
but a fool and his money soon go separate ways
and you found a fool lyin' in a daze
ha ha woman
what you gonna do
you destroyed all the virtues that the lord gave you
it's so good that you're feelin' pain
but you better get your face board the very next train
(repeat chorus)
Evil woman how you done me wrong
but now you're to wail a different song
ha, ha funny how you broke me up
]you made the wine now you drink a cup
i come runnin' every time you cried
i thoughjt i saw love smilin' in your eyes
ha, ha very nice to know 
that you ain't got no place left to go
(repeat chorus)
