Maybe the years have told you
Do you remember when life was just a new day?
You know the story don't you?
The one you told me when life was drifting away

Aah! look at the brand new day
Sitting here upon the milky way
Aah! look at the dancing girls
Sitting holding hands across the world

You got a brand new lady
Just like the one you left down in some other place
Reading all the letters
Saw your face coming through on the ouija board

Look at the brand new day
Sitting here upon the milky way
Aah! look at the dancing girls
Sitting holding hands across the world

You heard the words of Aaron
He spoke the truth in these things both great and small

If you throw away the ashes
You sweep them over the world on your own accord
If you knew the real answer
You'd see the kind of mistakes that you can't afford

Gave this a 7, because although not great it's still better than anything U2 have recorded.

Or you could say that, like Spinal Tap, their appeal has become more...selective.

Spot on—you go to 11.

Let's just say that Jeff Lynne was still growing artistically at this point.

I believe The Move and ELO (essentially the same band) both put out albums the same year - beginning of ELO and end of The Move.

~ I was listening to this, thinking I have no idea {#Confused} who The Move is/are, but jeeze, that vocalist reminds me of Jeff Lynne. Then Bill said it was Jeff Lynne. Oh yeah, I still got it!

 
No, I didn't realize this was pre-ELO. I do now.

Imagine: from the Move to ELO on the playlist! Such a concept! Hello, Susie.

Actually, that gibberish is the opening of ELO's Fire On High, which follows this song in one of Bill's playlists.

Well, it predates sampling as such by quite a bit, but we know what you mean.

We need to lobby Bill to add something like Stackridge's Slark to show these younguns what bombastic 70's art rock really is... Or was that more psychedelic? Hard to remember anymore. And that Cake song two back defines "sucks".

while its fun to hear an old move track, this is probably the last one I would have picked. Hello Suzie would have been fun-over the top worked in that one!

Open Up Said the World at the Door, Brontasaurus, Do Ya... All far superior to this one.

Total Jesus Christ Superstar ripoff, er..homage there at the ending.

Though a Jeff Lynne and ELO fan (and sometimes The Move), this song blows. It's obnoxious.
Posted 16 years ago by jagdriver    [ Reply ]
This is one of the reasons I love Radio Paradise. Since the 70's I've heard DJ's describing ELO's song Do Ya as originally done by "The Move." Now I have actually heard a song by "The Move."...firt time ever! And even with that I have to agree, The Words of Aaron is a pretty crappy song.

I keep forgetting how such awful, over-produced crap came out of the '70s.

But which country? Oh sorry...that's right I should have known..Country in my country means means DEEP country (including C&W but not only) very strong attachment to land from where we came and to where we will go...
