07. On the Streets Where Once Was Pity

07. "Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO

As one who gets down in the dumpsies on a pretty regular basis, it can be to think that things can ever feel different for me. But listening to this song somehow always gives me hope and makes me feel better. So even if I am feeling extra gloomy, this song helps me have hope that someday the clouds will part, and I'll finally catch a glimpse of Mr. Blue Sky.




And because I like the extra minute of music at the end of the original version of the song, here's the video for the full thing. I know that Jeff Lynne has lobbed off the original ending with his new arrangement of the song, but I likes me that extra minute of full orchestral hope.
