ELO - "Mr Bluesky"
My brother-in-law tragically passed away very unexpectedly 4 weeks ago ..... we asked my 8 year old niece (his daughter) to pick some tracks which reminded her of him and she immediately picked ELO's "Mr Bluesky". We played the track to a packed church at the end of his remembrance service and I have never experienced a more uplifting, but at the same time extremely sad feeling as we sat in silence and reflected! He was a great guy and this track is a fitting reminder of him - whenever I hear it, it brings a smile to my face and a lump to my throat. Sadly missed, never forgotten
This weeks heartfelt Guest Post comes from our old buddy from Saudi Arabia, Lee..

commentsMy thoughts go out to you and your family. An incredibly uplifting song Lee, one of my favourites.
ReplyFantastic song. After reading this I got goosebumps when it was played at the closing ceremony of the Olympics. Our thoughts are with you and your family,
ReplyLee, so sorry to hear about this. I went to a funeral recently and did not realise the power that particular songs have over the audience. I was so overwhelmed dispite not being especially close, that I was in tears too. This is a fantastic song, one of my favourites. I especially like 'the Queen bit' right at the end, as I called it. Thanks for the memory x
