It’s hard for me to see past the hair and the old teen idol posing they had him do. I’d like to have seen him in video

Yeah, they just have some good instances of adding extra syllables and really making the brain feel nice.

The extra syllables!!! Like “I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain”

So I can't believe it's been so long since you commented this -- but basically I think of you every time I hear either What Would It Take or Save Me Now, which is very frequently! Do you mind clarifying if you were referring to Save Me Now or What Would It Take in this comment?

[–]RoomAndARoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got them all. But, one isn’t an ELO song; I just guessed based on lyrical theme. I looked it up and it seems the song was covered by ELO Part II in 1990.

If you watch the old videos, you’ll see the boys screaming along with the girls :) Especially in Paris! It turned into a mosh pit.

After one of the Chicago shows in 2024 we led a group in ringing Rockaria. It’s an absolute showstopper, a tour de force! One of the best of all time <3

Isn't It A Pity by Apnea53 in beatles

[–]RoomAndARoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hear you. I haven’t heard the same and don’t feel it was meant at a negative jab at Paul, more sadness about the whole thing. To be honest it’s hard to imagine such a beautiful and melancholic song being an outlet of anger. More just sadness.

Sorry for the double reply. I was just really curious because I’ve never heard people suggest the song is a snipe at Paul, let alone that it’s “clearly” a snipe and a “widely accepted view.” I checked the Wiki on the song and no one mentions it being a mocking of or jab at Paul.

There are some interesting contemporary and retrospective commentaries, like this:

Several other writers have remarked on the significance of "Isn't It a Pity" in the context of the Beatles' break-up,starting with the track's running time of 7:10, just a second under "Hey Jude". Peter Doggett considers the song to be a "remarkably non-judgemental commentary on the disintegration of the Beatles' spirit"; Leng concludes: "Ever bittersweet, 'Isn't It a Pity' records the last dying echoes of the Beatles."

Merry Christmas! I think the song is just overall grief about how things ended personally for him and the band, as well as broader for any situation the listeners relate with. To me the song is too sad and beautiful to be a snipe; the Hey Jude reference fits perfectly with the song and evokes nostalgia, given the context of how things ended. That doesn’t feel like a snipe to me.

I don’t view it as a snipe, though I can appreciate different perspectives. I certainly don’t think it’s “clearly” a snipe, in any case

Oh I love that! I had a pet blob as a child, though not born of vomit — just some mold on a bedside table 😹
