Electric Light Orchestra Eldorado Finale Comments
ELO- The most beautiful music I've ever heard in my life.
This song... Amazing how much power and feel he has in his voice, and the compilation is just fantastic! One of my favourites now:)
Best Album ever. Such a masterpiece! Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO!
My Favorite!! Thanks for the High School memories 🤓👍❤️
46 years old and we are all still listening to it. Lynne up there with Lennon mcartney and Mozart. Thank you Jeff. !!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A masterpiece. Quality in all categories- lyrics, voice appeal and range, personal meaning interpretations, instruments, melody, etc. And I just melt in ecstacy at around 4:40 with the native American drumming nuance flowing into Spanish themed sound. Is J.L. really from planet Earth? My God, just breath takingly out of this world!!
Was arguing with a friend about whether this song or the Elton John song were better. I stand firm with my origional position.
I pray your original was ELO's
@jumperwalrus You know full that isn't the case you cheeky bastard. Why you trying to pass yourself off as a third party?
@AdmarilDarius I fear I must report you to the authorities of the world's new hegemon, India. I pray you find help there.
💝💥 Stunning music. Masterfully cunning lyrical genius.
rip Carl Macek
Musical Perfection
Have review on my channel Terrific album
Pure emotion. Superb, beautiful, magical arrangements and harmonies. But ever so sad. The album is my all time favorite for over 40 years now. Going everywhere with me. I just hate the realisation that the voyages end will arrive someday 😥 But then I start playing the album from start to finish again! What a joy! Thank you so much for giving me these sounds to add splendid colour to my life, mr. Lynne. ❤
4.43 Almost a Native Indian sound.....yes?
Memorial to the second best friend I lost this summer... goodbye, Bobby...
This song.......just can't put into words.......outside of it taking to another place and time. Jeff's vocals, his lyrics, the arrangement...how can one man be so talented...but he is...to me he's Perfection. I'm at my desk at work. Listened to 8 times in a roll. Feels like I'm floating. I Love You Jeff Lynne!!!!!
Another great song off this album is loredo tornado
This music is pure genius.
If push comes to shove, my favourite music piece of all time.
Underrated af.
obra maestra el dorado el mejor albun de la historia
the eternal dream
the best they ever recorded.
when I was younger, I never understood what they were meaning with Eldorado...
ELO Solo para entendidos!
25 people couldn’t find Eldorado
I love this album,it's so lush ,such good writing,so full of emotion Here it comes, another lonely day" One of ELO's best. let it fill you with feelig
Sounds like something someone would feel when they know they are about to die. Does it make sense? A mix of nostalgia and gloom and fear...
Can it get any better than this? Even after 45 years this still gives me goosebumps....thanks Jeff!
High on a hill in Eldorado
I once had a dream that Chrissie Hynde & the Pretenders, covered this song
One of the best albums ever. Underrated
Super.Bravo Jeff
He Is The Nasty One Christ Your Infernal...
Love the Painted ladies of the Avalon line. Jeff used echo as well as anyone.
ELO truly brings me tears of joy what a musical genius best ever!!
musical perfection...that choir really made these songs, wish Jeff would resurrect this old sound for one album
I bought this album when it was first released. I was 22 then. Where have all those years gone?
Back before ELO became a pop machine, some of the best music they ever made, in my opinion.
JL is incredible. He can write this and then there is Xanadu.
Música para la eternidad.
Jeff Lynne's voice is amazing!
One of the best songs I have ever heard!
This is my No1 album from ELO
Jeff's best vocal on any ELO song
The kings of overplaying and poorly used strings and choruses. Can't believe people compare them to The Beatles.
Yeah they are so far past the beatles who were really dull.
It was not "people" but John Lennon.
Even after all this time, this song STILL gets to me.
If I ever take a drive to Disneyland, I'll put this music on the radio or something :P Sounds magical enough. Eldorado is the best! :)
I bought tickets for August! My dream come thru!
u decide
I am partial,every song jeff lynne wrote is a hit in my opinion...I seriously find it difficult ELO didn't set record sales...oh...they did?...nevermind
Discovered this on vinyl by chance when i was 16 in 1986 and fell in love with it.
Good bye
Me fascina ELO!
Magnífico grupo
Pure genius Mr Lynne never get tired of listening to this
Here it comes, another lonely day, playing the game,
I'll sail away on a voyage of no return to see
if eternal life is meant to be
and if I find the key to the eternal dream.
The painted ladies of the Avalon play in the sun,
take to the road, to the North there lies the chills of cold,
to the South there lies the tales untold.
But in between there lies the place to close your eyes.
And I will stay, I'll not be back, Eldorado.
I will be free of the world, Eldorado.
Say goodbye, the city's heroes sing, bird on the wing
feel, feel so free through the life upon the rooftop haze,
all the cheating and the broken days.
So through it all I see there's nothing left for me.
So I will stay, I'll not be back, Eldorado.
I will be free of the world, Eldorado.
Sitting here on top of everywhere, what do I care.
Days never end, I know the voyage's end will soon be here,
no eternal life is here for me.
And now I found the key to the eternal dream.
Then I will stay, I'll not be back, Eldorado.
I will be free of the world, Eldorado.
Then I will stay.
The dreamer, the unworken fool,
High on a hill in Eldorado
if eternal life was meant to be.... this song has backmasking on it, and says, ' Oh Christ your infernal, he's the nasty one"
beautiful fantastic this song is like a dream an incredible dream Jeff is one of the greatest artist and this album is a masterpiece FOREVER !!
As with all the ELO singles released in the late 1970s, tracks from early ELO albums were placed on b-sides. 'Eldorado' ended up as the b-side of 'Wild West Hero' in 1978 perhaps rather fittingly given the subject of the A-side of the single. I first came across 'Eldorado' when I flipped the aforementioned single. the motive behind this trait by the record company to released earlier tracks rather than fill with even more from the 'Out of the Blue' LP was to encourage us record-buying public to seek out the earlier ELO albums - I certainly did and now the albums are true classics in my collection - played much more than the later 70s / early 80s albums.
This is a Classic album. I love all the tracks and it should be listened to as one body of work.
ELO make those days better music than in the later commercial period.Lyrics were also deeper and said more.
One of the greatest songs ever written, if not the greatest of them all. Mindblowing stuff! Sadly JL does not perform it live on his current tour. Like it better than Can't Get It Out of My Head, exquisite as it is. Always in my ELO and overall Top 3 songs of all time!
Great lyrical piece. Chord progression sort-of menaders, but it is quintessential Jeff Lynne. Must say I still believe "Can't Get it Out of my Head" is the best track off this album.
I liked the comment sounds a lot like the white album. What ?
Zachary tromp
Great album
sounds a lot like the White Album
Are you deaf!
eldorado............................przepiekne
So simple, but so beautiful. This album has so many intricately woven melodies, then it all stops with the elegance of Eldorado, then picks up again with the finale.
A masterwork from start to finish. Great example of Lynne's genius.
fabuloso
Jeff Lynne and ELO were right up there with Emerson Lake and Palmer, and Led Zeppelin. No band in the 21'st century can compare. I beg you to try!
Have you listened to all of the 21C bands?
You all got me laugh'n
Here it comes another lonely day
Playing the game, I'll sail away
On a voyage of no return to see
If eternal life is meant to be
And if I find the key, to the eternal dream
The painted ladies of the Avalon
Play in the sun, take to the road
To the north there lies the chills of cold
To the south there lies, the tales untold
But in between there lies, the place
To close your eyes
[Chorus]
And I will stay, I'll not be back
Eldorado
I will be free, of the world
Eldorado[Verse 2]
Say goodbye the city's heroes sing
Bird on the wind
Feel, feel so free
Through the life upon the rooftop
Haze
All the cheating and the broken days
So through it all I see
There's nothing left for me
[Chorus]
And I will stay, I'll not be back
Eldorado
I will be free, of the world
Eldorado[Verse 3]
Sitting here on top of everywhere
What do I care
Days never end
I know the voyage's end will soon
Be here
No eternal life is here for me
And now I found the key
To the eternal dream[Chorus]
Then I will stay, I'll not be back
Eldorado
I will be free, of the world
Eldorado
The Dreamer
the unwoken fool
high on a hill
in ELDORADO
I'm not going to cry because I'm sad.. Cadillac came out with a new car.
Remember this song in particular. Did'nt realise it was '74. My good taste in music must've came pre loaded.
Perfect album.. Beautifully made and hits you in the heart.... 💕... One of the best concept albums ever.... And then time... Well!!! Time was another masterpiece by Jeff Lynne... But eldorado was and still is so underrated... Jeff Lynne thankfully is still with us and deserves a MBE.... THE BEATLES GOT ONE........ GIVE JEFF LYNNE ONE.......
What a masterpiece. Widely underrated.
Probably one of the best concept album in the music history.
A condensated of the genius of Jeff Lynne.
Very underrated. Should be on a dozen best-of lists.
Underrated by whom.
In rolling stones top 50 all time most progressive albums list. Should have been top 5.
All of the band’s best work is criminally underrated.
Way ahead of their time! ELO the very best EVER!
INCREDIBLE!!!
Had SUCH a PROFOUND impact on me as a youth...in some small town in Minnesota, back in the day!
Few pieces of music can bring me to tears
Eldorado
ELO Eldorado is the greatest album of 1974. I recommend it to any ELO fan from all around the world and the whole of the UK. Every hit is like a stone on the shore. I think Jeff Lynne deserves a knighthood. He is such an incredible vocalist.
I was 18 years old in 1974 and had this album, yes, album, it is fantastic, even today!
@NightIsRight He said the best album of 1974, not the best ELO album. And in my opinion, Time is the best album ELO ever made.
This is like the only song he sings where he shows off a little bit with his singing. He's just so underrated as a vocalist because his voice just blends in with the music so naturally you don't notice how great it is
@NightIsRight what about face the music
don't you mean any fan, "all over the world" ;)
Well bev bevan had his day on this album, absolutely cryptic and engrossing says Lynne had a fantastical holiday to write this masterpiece but it is a phenomemenal work of the collaboration of Elo that we all know and love, dare I say the best? Eldorado meant so much to all of us, think we should all get together and share that memory
in my humble opinion the best bit of vinyl ever pressed xxx
Johnny Duplantis good man! LOL!
Do you listen to the instrumental version of this at the end? It's really great too.
You are right!
Recently just got into my dads old records (huge collection) and this one is one of my favorites that I hadn’t listened to before
Its definitely a bit special
Sounds like a lost Bowie track... Great, though...
sound track of my life this song
Велик Албум да ви шибам англо говорещите
my dad says this came out when he was 14 and its still his favorite album of all time. beautiful
loved it since I was 14 too
I was born in 1960 so I and your dad are around the same age. El Dorado is my second-favorite ELO album after their second, which came out in early 1973.
Your dad is a wise man. Listen to him!
what your dad said
Goosebumps on my goosebumps on my tingling spine....
Great!
Thanks for this!
Mágica leyenda de ELDORADO... confirma que Jeff pertenece a esos reinos...
I will be free of the world.
I'll not be back.
Eldorado.
degree7 don't see writing like this any more
By that lyric, do you think he meant that he was going into this "Walter Mitty" type of fantasy world, and never coming back?
...about achieving an intangible place/status in a relationship... mythical, albeit out of reach. at least it is for me. as is ELO's other song on the subject, Shangri-la.
...oh. I almost forgot Xanadu as well.
Wow. Wow. Wow!!!
So incredibly beautiful! AND...so PERFECTLY pulls the WHOLE ALBUM together...artistically, and, well, SPIRITUALLY... as long as we're at it! :-}
NOTHING in all of pop/rock comes anywhere NEAR this!
+Danny Stanhope - Let me help Danny...let me help....Wow...wow...wow....
+Danny Stanhope - ...wow !!!!!!! (Like thunder it follows the lightening).
+Danny Stanhope ABSOLUTELY SPIRITUAL...
moje dzieciństwo.... absolutne mistrzostwo.... juz sama okładka tej płyty vs. zawartość robiła wrażenie....
Thanks.
Beautiful song - Jeff Lynne really wrote and song a classic. The Eldorado album is one of ELO finest - and I regard this as their first concept album - all tracks kind of connected to a continuous symphony.
Commercials after every song is excessive. One of these days real soon it's going to go away. I promise. <3
get an add blocker problem solved
3 people believe there's a "satanic" message in here.
+Henry Stanley That'll be three idiots then.
+Henry Stanley Make that five.
+malthuswasright Yeah, wait, make that five.
one of Jeff's best vocals
Here it comes another lonely day.
Playing the game, I'll sail away
On a voyage of no return to see
If eternal life is meant to be,
And if I find the key, to the eternal dream.
The painted ladies of the Avalon.
Play in the sun, take to the road
To the north there lies the chills of cold,
To the south there lies, the tales
untold,
But in between their lies, the place
to close your eyes.
And I will stay, I'll not be back,
Eldorado,
I will be free, of the world
Eldorado
Say goodbye the city's heroes sing
Bird on the wind,
Feel, feel so free
Through the life upon the rooftop
haze,
All the cheating and the broken days,
So through it all I see,
There's nothing left for me.
And I will stay, I'll not be back,
Eldorado,
I will be free, of the world
Eldorado
Sitting here on top of everywhere,
What do I care,
Days never end.
I know the voyage's end will soon
be here,
No eternal life is here for me,
And now I found the key,
To the eternal dream.
Then I will stay, I'll not be back,
Eldorado.
I will be free, of the world,
Eldorado
This song and Surfs up are The Best lyrics ever writen.
Get a life u hippy
William Kren, I'll also stay. Forever and ever.❤
Brilliant.
Gracias 😉
