Hello, Mr. Radio, you friendly station

So glad of your company, your morning music

My wife, she ran away, she left our home

And though you're here with me

I'm on my own

fun facts

Jeff Lynn wrote "Mr. Blue Sky" after locking himself in a swiss chalet to write the band's next album. It was dark and misty for 2 weeks and he couldn't come up with anything, until the sun unexpectedly came out and shone on the alps. he wrote "Mr. Blue Sky" and 13 other songs over the next 2 weeks

"Video Killed The Radio Star" is about musicians whose careers were destroyed because they would not translate visually to television. Adequate to this theme, the music video for this song was famously the first aired on MTV, at 12:01AM on August 1st, 1981.

how’s life on earth? what is it worth? 💫🚀🎼

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 !
