Electric Light Orchestra (E.L.O.): Shine a Little Love

Fue desde mediados de los años 70 y hasta principios de los 80, cuando la banda inglesa Electric Light Orchestra, tambien conocida como E.L.O., alcanzó las más altas capas de popularidad y ventas en la música. Un intento por fusionar el rock clásico con el sinfónico, el pop e influencias de la música disco, utilizando instrumentos poco convencionales. Todo ello dotó al grupo de un repertorio de canciones meritorias para formar parte de la discoteca de cualquier amante de la música. Sonidos de violines se mezclaban con el sonido de las guitarras y las baterias, creando un ambiente de excitación contenida.

Discovery fue su octavo disco, y uno de los que más grato recuerdo me traen a la memoria. En él canciones como "Shine a Little Love", "Don't Bring Me Down", "Last Train to London" o "The Diary of Horace Wimp", creaban un climax especial, con un acercamiento muy sugerente a la música disco. Inspiración, exquisita producción, buenos arreglos y la magia tocándoles con una varita mágica, les hicieron dueños de la creación de uno de esos discos imprescindibles.

Letra
Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticize.
I guess you had your way.
You see I gotta make you understand.
I know it sounds a foolish thing to say.
But it don't matter baby 'cos' today's another day.

CHORUS

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life and let me see.

Remember,tonight we're gonna run till dawn
Remember,tonight we're gonna say.
We'll never stop we got a good thing goin' on.
I know you've heard it all before.
But I really need you darlin' every day I need you more.

Repeat Chorus

Can you understand.(Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right.
(I know it is) Will you be the same.(I'll do it all again).

It's been a year now and it's getting so much better.
You came home without a word.
Though everybody said you'll soon forget her.
Thay couldn't see and they just didn't understand.
And lookin' in the mirror there were fools at either hand.

Can you understand.(Yes I understand) Can you feel it's right.
(I know it is) Will you be the same.(I'll do it all again).

How many days had I been waiting there to tell you.
I really can't believe.
We're walkin' out into the world tonight.
We'll do it all again until the break of light.
And the feelin' in your heart will soon be shinin' in your eyes

Repeat Chorus
