Reseña

La discografía de ELO presenta con este álbum de 2001 el que fue considerado durante mucho tiempo como el regreso de la legendaria banda. 'Zoom', de hecho, es en esencia un trabajo en solitario de su líder, Jeff Lynne, quien compone, produce y toca casi todos los instrumentos. Por lo tanto, es un disco que recupera el sonido clásico de la banda, pero con una producción actualizada al nuevo milenio.

En consecuencia, el sonido del álbum es un regreso a las raíces, un intento de reconectar con la mezcla de pop, rock y arreglos de cuerda que caracterizó su época dorada. Las melodías son, como siempre en la música de Lynne, de una calidad exquisita, y las armonías vocales siguen siendo una de las señas de identidad.

Además, el álbum cuenta con colaboraciones de auténtico lujo, como la de los ex-Beatles George Harrison (en una de sus últimas grabaciones) y Ringo Starr. Como resultado, el disco tiene un inconfundible sabor a pop clásico británico.

A pesar de su indudable calidad, el álbum no tuvo el éxito comercial esperado en su momento. Sin embargo, con el tiempo ha sido reivindicado por los seguidores como una joya oculta, un trabajo que demuestra que el genio de Jeff Lynne seguía plenamente intacto.

AlrightVer letra

letra de Alright
The gold verandah in the dark has gone
down to the metal man.
No better time to leave the ground
And maybe try to understand.

You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright.

And through the darkest times of your life
You always tried to be the one,
And now the times have made you wonder
If you ever knew what was goin' on.

You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright....
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

(background) Alright... alright... alright

No use thinkin' about what you ain't got,
Just makes you bitter.
And as you speak, everything that you say
Goes out on the big transmitter.

You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright....
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

You gotta hold on to somethin' that you believe,
Hold on to somethin' that makes you feel alright....
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

letra de Moment In Paradise
Oh, yeah

She never cried, she only tried
To fly beyond her dreams
No walls around her mind

Deep inside she'd try to hide
That she was way beyond her means
No borders and no lines

She said that it's your duty to save your soul
To save it for someone
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah

Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah

She floated out upon the wind
That blew my thoughts into the night
She knew the things she had to know

She drifted high above my mind
Blew my brains out, did alright
I think she knew it all along

She said that it's your duty to save your soul
To save it for someone
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah

Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah

She said that it's your duty to save your soul
To save it for someone
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
Oh, yeah

Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Oh, yeah
Moment in paradise
Moment in paradise
Just a moment in paradise
State Of MindVer letra

letra de State Of Mind
I was goin' round the world
I was lookin' for somewhere
I was searchin' for someone
Who was gonna take me there

Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
Your're Really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah

I was thinkin' of the past
I was tryin' to rack my brain
I was looking at the future, looking at the future
I was tryin' to play the game

Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah

Sometimes you get lost
Sometimes you get found
In a state of mind
Sometimes you're too high
Sometimes you're too down
It's just a state of mind

Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah

Sometimes you get lost
Sometimes you get found
In a state of mind
Sometimes you're too high
Sometimes you're too down
It's just a state of mind

You think you know it all
Then you think that you know nothing
Can't dance, can't crawl, crawl
Maybe you better forget it

Didn't want to do it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah

Didn't want to it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah

Didn't want to it 'cause I knew what I'd find
You're really only livin' in a state of mind, yeah

State of mind
It's a state of mind
State of mind

Just For LoveVer letra

[X]
letra de Just For Love
Falling through the endless sky
The signals dance upon the twilight
Calling out to reach someone
Who waits there in the lonely night

Just for love
Just for love

Soon beyond the melting clouds
The light will shine on everyone
That waits there in the silver rain
To meet the golden sun

Just for love
Just for love
Just for love
Just for love

I came a long way 'cross the water
Came a long way to get here
Round and round in great big circles tryin' to ease my fear
Out in all the mysteries and distant new tomorrows
There goes another one don't know which way the wind blows

Just for love
Just for love
Just for love
Just for love

Love... we're gonna get it right
Just for love
We're gonna get it together
We're gonna get it right
Just for love
We're gonna get it together
We're gonna get it right
Stranger On A Quiet StreetVer letra

[X]
letra de Stranger On A Quiet Street
When all the thrills have been forgotten
The chill of night can call them home
And all the dreams that you left stranded
Will slowly start to come along

I felt it as she slipped away, slipped away
I didn't have the words to say
When I saw the stranger
A stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street

You can go straight as an arrow
You can go straight as you dare
Walkin' the old straight and narrow
Don't always get you there

The sun was shining when I saw it all
She was moving to a different beat
When I met a stranger
A stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street

It came to me out of the blue, out of the blue
There came the moment that I really knew
When I met a stranger
A stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street

Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street, on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
Stranger on a quiet street
In My Own TimeVer letra

[X]
letra de In My Own Time
Doom, gloom and misery
That's what you gave to me
Cold, tight, late and mean
Beyond my wildest dreams

Now that it's over
And the sun came out to shine
Don't look for me
'Cause I set myself free
In my own time

New days have come along
And now I'm at where I belong
Blue sky shines above
And I got someone to love

Now I think about it
Lifts the clouds from my mind
Goin' out on the sea
Getting further from me
In my own time
My own time

Bye, bye, bye, bye
Is that a tear in your eye
Too late to cry
You and your precious disguise

Sometimes I wonder if I ever saw the sign
But it's too late to care
'Cause I've done that, been there
In my own time

So don't look for me
'Cause I set myself free
In my own time
In my own time
Easy MoneyVer letra

[X]
letra de Easy Money
One, two, three

Tell me I'm mistaken
I must be kinda slow
But the only time you ever cared
Was when you needed more easy money, easy money
You got out of control and you sold your soul for easy money

If you see a sucker standing at your door
Bring him in and make him grin
Then take him to the store
Easy money, easy money
Watch out from above
You broke into the bank of love
Easy money

Some people never learn to stop when they've had enough
Easy money, easy money
Some people only have to shop when the going gets tough

I've come to the conclusion it's like the old man said
The only thing you gave me was shit and promises
Easy money, whoa whoa whoa, easy money
One day you'll have to earn all the money that you burn
Easy money

Take it, Jeff
Easy money

Wha, wha, yeah

Some people never learn to stop when they've had enough
Easy money, easy money
Some people only have to shop when the going gets tough

Funny thing about it
Don't even make me blue
'Cause there's no better deal around
Than saying goodbye to you
Easy money, easy money

You snatched that cash right into your stash, easy money
You got out of control and you sold your soul for easy money
Easy money, woo woo woo, easy money
It Really Doesn't Matter
Ordinary DreamVer letra

[X]
letra de Ordinary Dream
I couldn't really understand at all
The writing on the wall
From you to me

A jigsaw puzzle of a twisted tale
That set its lonely sail
From you to me

'Cause I tried to get the message
But it's not understood
Wide apart and so far away
It mattered at the start until I realized instead ....

I'm floating in a troubled sky
Watching you as you go by
In an ordinary dream

I'm sailing on a troubled sea
Watching you as you watch me
In an ordinary dream

I couldn't understand a word it said
The letter that I read
From you to me

I couldn't fathom out the stuff you wrote
So I guess it's just a joke
From you to me

Though reality keeps calling me away from my dream
And the wreakage isn't all it might have been
Didn't matter at the start until I realized it did

I'm floating in a troubled sky
Watching you as you go by
In an ordinary dream

I'm sailing on a troubled sea
Watching you as you watch me
In an ordinary dream

I'm floating in a troubled sky
Watching you as you go by
In an ordinary dream

I'm sailing on a troubled sea
Watching you as you watch me
In an ordinary dream

Ordinary dream

Ordinary dream
A Long Time GoneVer letra

[X]
letra de A Long Time Gone
Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window
And still you're not there
You're a long time gone
Such a long time gone

Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
Smashing away 'til it's all obsolete
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
You're a long time gone

Do I wonder why
Every day that I
Think about you still
And I always will

Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream

Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete
Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone

Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky
Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye
You're a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
You're a long time gone

Do I wonder why
Every day that I
Think about you still
And I always will

You're a long time gone

Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream

You're a long time gone

Do I wonder why
You're a long time gone
You never did
I never said goodbye
You're a long time gone
Melting In The SunVer letra

[X]
letra de Melting In The Sun
There's no way out and there's no way back
Sailing forever out along your path
Some troubles dare to lose you sleep
I started thinkin' that I'm in too deep

The wheels of life will stretch your face
Squeeze you flat without a trace
But when I was in trouble I never heard you speak
I got the message that I'm in too deep

Blows my mind
Melting in the sun, sun
Starts to shine, shine
Then suddenly it's gone
Melting in the sun

Stayed up and wondered what was goin' on
Shifted and pissed up and silent and gone
Reasons for promises that no one could keep
I got the picture and I'm in too deep

Blows my mind
Melting in the sun, sun
Starts to shine, shine
Then suddenly it's gone
Melting in the sun

There's no way out, the only way is in
Don't matter who you are
Don't matter where you've been
You can buy your freedom
But it don't come cheap
No doubt about it, now I'm in too deep

Blows my mind
Melting in the sun, sun
Starts to shine, shine
Then suddenly it's gone
Melting in the sun

Yeah

Suddenly it's gone
Melting in the sun

Suddenly it's gone
Melting in the sun
All She WantedVer letra

[X]
letra de All She Wanted
She was a good girl
Been true to herself
Never swayed by the notions of somebody else
She'd had it rough, maybe most of the time
With only one thing on her mind

All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Who was tryin' to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man

There could be blue skies in her heart
She was waitin' for the good times to start
She never wanted diamonds
She never wanted gold
She was holdin' out for someone to hold

All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Who was tryin' to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man

A loving man
All she wanted was a lovin' man

All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Who was tryin' to do the best that he can
All she wanted was a lovin', lovin' man

Loving man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
All she wanted was a lovin' man
Lonesome LullabyVer letra

[X]
letra de Lonesome Lullaby
I listened to the whine for way too long
Time for me to hear a different song
I waited overtime for things to turn around
Tired of waiting for it all to hit the ground

You said you knew all about it
What was right and what was wrong
You pulled the wool over the eyes of everyone
Maybe I was weak when I should've been strong

Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby

You took me by surprise and like a shot in the dark, shot in the dark
You showed yourself in your truest light, truest light
You saved yourself by saving nobody else
You must have cringed when you heard them tell

Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby

You took the wrong turn at the city of dreams, city of dreams
You ended up back where you came from it seems, came from it seems
Back there to where there's nothing else to do
Back there where you can sit and think of only you

Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
Cry, baby, cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby

Cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby
Cry
Tell me 'bout your lonesome lullaby

Your lonesome lullaby
