coming out of a stage of depression and hearing this song is so relevant...like the metaphor that sun is happy and night is sad...and understanding the two and putting them in proper perspectives and taking control is what this song means to me...
I first heard this song in the theme to the short lived NBC TV Drama "LAX". So sad the show went off the air, but at least I got exposed to ELO as a result. I couldn't be happier. One of the all time great bands. Jeff Lynne is a genius.
dr who!!! this reminds me of decorating.....me and the other half played the best of while we were decorating our new home....elo r da bomb......I feel lifted every time I hear one of their songs
the effect is called a vocoder. It's a device that takes 2 inputs, the 1st is the carrier wave making the actual sound, the 2nd input is known as the modulator which in this case is a voice, shaping the carrier.
I think there is no doubt Jeff was a fan of The Beatles. Listen to what he did with The Move. He definitely built off the Sgt. Pepper sound for sure. He also produced some of George Harrison's albums. He even collaborated with George in The Traveling Wilburys

It's very rare to see Jeff Lynne without his trademark sunglasses. A good find.

I believe it's a talkbox. It's hooked to a keyboard and I believe you control the key of your voice with the keys, live.
