One Summer Dream

[tinhuvielartanis]

Before my Heart of Darkness wrapped itself around me, I was a child and a dreamer. The Electric Light Orchestra was my favourite band. Honestly, I will always love ELO, and especially its leader and sole songwriter and singer, Jeff Lynne. He shaped my life in almost every way, and he was the basis of what men I was attracted to as I became a woman. There is absolutely no one like Mr. Lynne and his breathtakingly lovely music. He resides in my heart like no other possibly could. Even when I embraced my the Darkness within me, I was always fond of Jeff Lynne, and I looked back fondly, with a sad and nostalgic longing...for simpler times and an optimism long since lost.


Even though my favourite album by ELO is Eldorado this song, from Face the Music is, and has always been, my favourite song. It is the song that solidified my dedication to ELO and most importantly, my undying love for Jeff Lynne. The world is a much better place for having Jeff Lynne's music and poetry.

ELO writes much of my personal soundtrack as well, and has for most of my life.

:::gives you a high five, since I am not really a huggy person:::

Most excellent. Wish you were closer. We'd have a great big ELO party!

I have Wilbury tracks playing here at work, too.

I'm pretty sure you already know quite well how I feel about ELO.
This song in particular is quite the gem.

Ah yes. Someday, we'll listen to Jeff together.

Awww, nice song. You can really hear the sound that would later surface in the Wilburys. And, am I mistaken, or do I see some resemblence between Mr. Lynne and your soulmate? I've only seen a couple pics of said soulmate but somehow, I see a similarity.

You sound melancholy. How does one rekindle optimism? I think looking ahead is over-rated. The here and now is good enough for me.
