I'm glad you reacted to an older ELO song. Try the 10538 Overture.
Coming later this month.
@@Cosmo-Kramer Thanks, Cosmo! That first ELO album is very interesting.
A beauty from Cosmo. Jeff really moved ELO on after their first disjointed album to provide us with some superb musical experiences. Yes it’s a sad song but such a melodic piece with a hint of the orchestral work to come later. Nice review.
Nice to see you've landed in the early years of ELO. Just a matter of time before you will get to "Kuiama", my absolute favourite song from the pre-Eldorado era.
I can't imagine Cosmo will leave that one out 😎
Always loved this one. Such beautiful instrumentation. Early ELO at their best. Thanks Cosmo and Harri.
A beautiful haunting song expertly crafted and performed by a genius. The inevitability of death and those left behind having to deal with it. Love those you hold dear as if there will be no tomorrow. Thank you once again Harri and Cosmo 😊
Well said. And my pleasure, glad you're digging these ELO classics.
Harri, sorry to bring you down with this poignant ballad. But I'm glad you were able to also focus on the beauty of the instrumentation. My absolute favorite part is the trading off between the violins and cellos, heard here beginning a couple seconds after the 4:16 mark. Just gorgeous. (As for John Lennon, yes, I could totally hear him singing this song. I don't know if he knew it or not, but if he did I'm certain he was moved by it, given the tragic loss of his mother, which affected him so deeply.)
I could even hear delicate little runs of 'trills' being played in the background behind the violins and cellos by some sort of woodwind or something. Most songwriters wouldn't bother with these embellishments, but not so with Jeff Lynne.
Harri, my mother was my best friend and miss her so much. Cosmo, thank you for this one my friend. It really resonated with me. 👍
You bet, Imadrummin. Mine was also my best friend.
It's been a while I did hear this song! I forgot it. And it's beautiful.
Thank you Harri!
Regards from Chile!!
This song is a hidden gem from the early ELO days. Agree with Oosterhout that Kuiama is another gem.
E L O is remarkable.
First time hearing (after all these years) and Yes Harri it has a very strong Beatles feeling to it.
The ELO Genius band. I love to theirs, the music, strings, chorus, Voice. Near to The Beatles, Moody Blues, Génesis, Queen, Rolling Stones.
Try other song from ELO. Kuiama, Shangri La, One summer dreams, king of universe,, From the sun to The world.
Greeting from Chile América Latina
I really enjoyed listening to this song again, as well as your review. As an early teenager back in the late 70's, I never really appreciated the meaning behind the words. I just enjoyed the music and Jeff's vocals. This was prog. rock era E.L.O. and even their mid-late 70's releases have a hint of prog. here and there. Kuiama and In Old England Town are other progressive rock songs they released around the same time. Oh and also 10538 Overture with that heavy Cello backing - can't forget that one.
This channel is the unic, at moment, that funded react about music, so beautiful but very underrated.
One of my favourite songs.
A 7 minute song, this was from the 2nd album where all the songs were long.......it's where ELO went a bit prog rock....
On the UK release of ELO 2, this song was called "Momma", it was changed to '''Mama" on the American release. Kuiama from the ELO 2 album is an excellent anti-war track, running for over eleven minutes, Kuiama is ELO's longest ever recording.
Sure, this is a sad song. But it's a powerful song. It doesn't tell us the fate of the girl. What it _does_ tell us, however, is that her mother gave her good advice - life must go on until the end. I'm not sure how to interpret the last verse, but no matter what, the advice is true: life is hard sometimes, and often when it's hardest, you find yourself alone.
So while it's a sad song, it can be understood as a powerful and enabling song - positive, even. That's so typical of Jeff's lyrics. The dramatic _Eldorado Finale_ , in all its grandeur, is tragic. I think _Horace Wimp_ has an, if not tragic, then certainly reflective and contrasting ending "go out and find yourself a life!" You can never be sure about Jeff's songs. Like I said in a comment elsewhere, he can make _Happy Birthday To You_ into a funeral hymn. (And he did!)
It is in my opinion very interesting to compare _Momma_ with at least two other songs, one much earlier, and one much later. Both about strong, admirable girls/women, trying hard to manage or succeed with their lives, and having hard times doing so. One is _The Lady Who Said She Could Fly_ from the Idle Race's first album The Birthday Party (1968 - which has a few fun tracks, but the fun tracks are just as sad and tragic as the others - their lyrics are not by your typical 21-year old - I'd compare him with Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, or Brian Wilson, two other guys who seem to have had the minds of old men since their youth), and the other is _Moment In Paradise_ from the 2001 album Zoom. That's a span of 33 years, from a fairly young Jeff (21) with the mindset of an old sage, to a mature Jeff (54), with experience now confirming his unusual early wisdom. I say that's a very clever guy. Of course, Zoom didn't register much anywhere. So the old man does it again, when he's 66. Twice, just to make sure we know it's not luck, but experience, wisdom, and hard work and stubborn persistence.
He's at the same time so extraordinarily human, and so completely from out of this world.
That is the power that I find in songs like this, both to embrace pain, hardship, defeat, even total destruction, and to have, gain hold of, and retain, strength, trust, hope willpower. I could use quotes from most of his songs to show this, but one is "Nowhere to go but it's on with the show". I don't think I can say Jeff's song have saved my life, but they sure represent a philosophy I try my best to stick to.
Great comment, lhp. I'm curious, which song from, Alone In The Universe, were you alluding to when you said Jeff, "does it again, when he's 66".
@@Cosmo-Kramer Oh, I see how my comment is confusing. I didn't mean to imply that he had made the exact same type of song on the two latest records, although I do think there are songs that have a similar message. But I really haven't listened too them enough to be sure.
There are other songs about strong/struggling women though. _Oh No Not Susan_ comes to mind, just to name one more.
Great song whit ELO, thank's Harri :)
Great reaction Harri now it's time to the signature song from this very same album the Chuck Berry cover of Roll Over Beethoven you will love it pay particular notice of the great Bev Bevan drumming on the song , it's amazing from your Amigo THE BIGGEST ELO FAN
I'm editing ROB now, and will submit it to Harri for reaction tonight or tomorrow.
@@Cosmo-Kramer Cosmo you are my Hero
@@rcherry1978 Thanks, R, I'll try to live up to that. :D lol Here's a little hint for you about the song I've slated to follow ROB. Many diehard ELO fans, myself included, consider it to be Jeff's most beautiful composition.
@@Cosmo-Kramer Cosmo you are the ultimate tease mate
@@rcherry1978 Lol
Didn't know I knew this 'til the first notes. My attention must've been elsewhere. Wrenching masterpiece, innit?
ok
The violins are so beautiful. I always find they bring out such emotions while listening.
Lost both my parents so I feel your sadness.
Thanks Harri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Have a listen the Battle of Bodmin Moor!
I have my daughter and grandson so I'm lucky she taking me out for the day no you need to be close to her my mother I wasn't!!
When are you going to start playing there hit songs. They have quiet a few.
I suggest you explore Harri's long list of ELO reactions.
Good call Cosmo. The real sleeper from "No Answer", or "The Electric Light Orchestra". (Depending on where you're from lol) So interesting to follow you Harri, on Cosmo's "ELO journey". I like how you decided to not go chronological. Keeps the surprises coming. Btw, how deep are we into the entire dive Cosmo?
Michael this cut is from the second LP from ELO ELO 2 which as also contained their first ever chart success in America Roll. Over Beethoven. This is also the album where Jeff Lynne full control of the band Roy Wood having left to form his own band Wizzard after the first LP ELO 1 other wise known as No Answer
@@rcherry1978 You are totally correct! Thanks for the reminder! Getting old is a bummer lol
@@michaelnorman3393 No worries mate ELO will keep us all young
Thanks, Michael. Yes, I wanted to keep everyone on their toes, not knowing what song, or even stage of ELO's long career, would be shared with Harri each time. We're actually very deep into the 50-song tour I've been taking Harri on of ELO's catalog. Once 50 is reached, I'm going to pivot away from ELO to other artists. But, I will periodically be submitting additional ELO tracks along the way.
Yes. The way Jeff Lynne says Woman reminds me of John Lennon singing his song Woman, Harri
Brother Q, I think you must be talking about other songs when Jeff sings that word, because it's not a part of this song's lyrics. And if that is the case, then yes, I agree with you. Cheers, and thanks for commenting.
@@Cosmo-Kramer Just to clarify, Cosmo.I
was thinking of Hold on Sweet Taliking Woman. The Hold on line in this reminded me of the Hold on comment from
Sweet Talking Woman
@@stephenqualtrough7322 Q, are you okay? :D The lyric, "hold on", does not appear in this song.
@@Cosmo-Kramer Oh must have misremembered the lyrics
Nevertheless this is where I got Woman from due to a weird mental process, of mine known only to me and my therapist. Lol
@@stephenqualtrough7322 Lol...okay, but the thing is, Q, the word, "Woman", doesn't even appear in the song, "Sweet Talkin' Woman". Soooo...
My second to the least favorite song on this album. Why not recommend, I don't know, their version of Roll Over Beethoven from this album? What? Makes too much sense?
I'm in the process of editing ROB, and will submit it to Harri shortly for his reaction, so standby.
It's my favorite on this album. But you are right. If your greatness does not like this song, it is not worthy of recognition.
@@Stojan_Viktor Okay. I'm just stating my opinion. I'm a little frustrated that a lot of the great ELO songs are being passed over for later period songs and songs like this. I'm always saying hits are hits for a reason. A great deep cut I like is Poker. I like the high energy songs. I'll try to be more positive going forward.
@@Cosmo-Kramer Great!!
@@debjorgo Yes, stay positive. All ELO songs from the 70s are great and everyone has different favorites. I'm sure he will listen to many more of the greats of ELO.
