Yes, where and how is Steve????
ELO is such a great band. I love "Time" the most and listen to it at least once a week. "Telephone Line" is easily one of their best and most well know songs...that beginning is one of a kind
Reefer wind...lol...came as part of the total experience, jj
Timetraveler, I can see the spiritual aspect of the lyrics from "Tightrope".
To me, it is the act of letting go, very much like drowning must be. You go down for the third time and have no hope or expectation of being saved but suddenly, there it is and you get pulled up from the muck just in time. It's such a surprise...such a moment of understanding that you are loved and valued.
The most wonderful thing about this, to me anyway, is that it really does very often seem to work this way in every day reality.
It doesn't seem to matter if the line is thrown to you from another person or by a divine hand, it's all very much a moment of grace.
Just my thoughts on it
Hope your little corner of the world comes together and gets back to normal soon.
