Electric Light Orchestra - Believe Me Now, by Me

Another track from ELO's classic Out Of The Blue album of 1978, Again I had originally programmed this for ELO tribute 'Wishful Thinking' though we never played this track, it was actually used for our Outro (all to the front now, take a bow!!).

Programmed using Voyetra Sequencer+ 'Classic' (DOS based) on a 286 PC-AT. Not a hard track to play really but just try programming those strings - another several weeks out of my life but the end result is always pleasing.

Most of the orchestral sounds are from a Korg O5R/W, a Korg M1 sits atop my main piano the Roland RD-300s

Once again I've used Windows Movie Maker, made several recordings at different angles, laid down the best soundtrack and pasted the clips over it at the relevant positions. Tricky. I've even used my LED light to add some atmosphere - NICE!!

No vest or bogroll this time - could've combed my hair I suppose, maybe next time!

I hope you enjoy my rendition of the classic Jeff Lynne track - I think its a fair stab - anybody is welcome to leave comments and/or video responses, HONEST criticism shall be published. Leon Jackson fan's puerile backlashes SHALL NOT!

Can you hear me?

IIIIIIII Love you

Believe me now

I could never say goodbye

Dont leave me now

Beleve me now

[trap0001]

@lonstar70 Hmmmmmmmm - the jury is out. I can just about hear 'Don't leave me now' but could still easily be Believe Me Now but the others just don't gel in my ears.

[lonstar70]

And also.... "I love you"

[trap0001]

@lonstar70 All guesses I guess. I picked up 'hear me' but can't hear 'Can you hear me'. He should se less echo and perhaps we would hear him. I don't pick up 'I love you'.

I like how the clock goes from 18:04 to 17:58 :P

@mordsgaudimachen - The video was shot at 4 different angles, I only have 1 camcorder hence the times changing. The soundtrack is from only 1 of the angles. Don't ask which one, I can't remember.

Wow... that was great!!

[lonstar70]

You also forgot the first vocoder lyric, "Can you hear me?"

[lonstar70]

I always thought it was "I'll return again somehow". Are there any official "lyrics" for this, or just guesses by us fans?
