i love ELO more than i can put into words so i wanted to visualize the sheer the joy and hope their music gives me. i mostly listened to shangri-la on loop for this one. idk if these cropped pics will be any better quality but they might be easier to see !
Writing this with tears in my eyes… Richard Tandy, you were an amazing keyboard player, the keyboard player in my favorite band. I cannot believe you are gone, but I know you’ve found peace, free from any pain you may have felt. Free to play in the great gig in the sky. Richard, we love you, and I hope you’ve reached the highest form of peace there is…
Person who’s only ever heard Mr. Blue Sky: oh boy I love this band! I should check out more of their stuff! I’m sure they don’t have an album called Face The Music with a picture of an electric chair on it that opens with a song that sounds like a horror movie soundtrack that divulges into a slow dance song on an otherwise normal album
