Day 5: A song to cheer a friend up

I said it before, I am a simple man. Yesterday I talked about how I received two new albums as a child, on my tenth birthday. One was Live Killers, by Queen, and that was yesterday. Today we are taking the other one, Out of the Blue, by The Electric Light Orchestra (ELO).

For once, I am not going to bore you with info on the band. This is about how to cheer up a friend. And the song I chose is a banger for that, but it really needs some lead up. Because there needs to be a storm before the clearing. So most of what I am describing comes before.

On vinyl, the third side of Out of the Blue is entitled Concerto for a Rainy Day. It is a four-song suite of almost 20 minutes. I thought of choosing all of it, but that was excessive, even for me. It starts with the sound of hard rain, and a tinny, almost nursery rhyme tune almost buried in it. A thunder crash and a vocoder announces "a concerto for a rainy day." The first song, "Standing in the Rain," is an energetic but mournful song about failure, loss, and disconnection. ("The good intentions and the pain/Lay drowned now in the pouring rain.") The singer is lost. No one sees him, and no matter what he does, nothing changes. Everything is in the pouring rain. The song builds up to a crescendo of pain. Another vocodor line, "Big wheels, keep turning, they turn forever and ever," transitions into the next song.

"Big Wheels" starts as a quiet post-breakup song, a sweet ballad, but with existential angst. That breaking up feels horrible, ("I tried my best, all I could do/But somehow, it was not enough for you"), but it is all part of the big wheels, which just keep rolling. Nothing matters, as it can't change.

The third song is "Summer and Lighting," and is one of my favorite ELO songs. It starts where the last left, with the singer in pain because of unrequited love ("I have waited for your love/For so long, how do I go on?") but in the middle, his feelings change as the storm starts to break. ("It's all around me/Summer and lightning/it must be magic.")

So, we have come through the storm. And that is what makes the day brighter. Here is the TMI section on why this hits me. We lost a child to fetal demise. Nothing we did, nothing we could do. And it was crushing. I deal with depression, and it hit hard. Fucking hard. But after the storm comes the sun. We had another child, and my daughter is now 18. She is the center of my world, and everything that I did right as a person, and worth every sacrifice I made. It doesn't change what I lost. It doesn't remove that pain, still. But after the storm comes blue skies.

"Mr. Blue Sky" is the last song, and the best known. On its own, it is a happy, genius piece of perfect pop, backed by a symphonic score. It is brilliant on its own. But it shines brightest as the closing of the four songs.

So I would tell my friend that while there is the rain, there comes the sun after. It may not feel like it, but this too will pass.

And I will be there for them, through the storm, playing this song.

And this song is a fucking banger!

Day 5
Bon Jovi - It's My Life

Bon Jovi are my happy band. My go to for when I just can't find anything good that day. They have always made music that makes you feel like things aren't so bad really. So who better to help a friend in need. Play it loud and sing along and feel the weight of the world get a little easier to carry, even just for a little while.
Dedicated to @Saltfountain who is one of my closest friends here. Hope he sings along and feels a little brighter ❤️
