1623 Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) - Julie Don't Live Here
From: Time [Remastered], Year: 1981
Genre: Electronic Rock/Pop
Genre: Electronic Rock/Pop
While out and about driving in the slop this evening this track from my favourite ELO record came on and I thought it would make a nice pick for this Sunday evening.
This song was actually not originally included on the Time album and was rather a b-side to one of the singles off of the record: Twilight. However, on the remaster version it was included along with two other tracks.
With it not originally being part of the album I am a bit uncertain as to if it was part of the time traveler story that is told throughout the songs on the album. With the subject matter of the song about a man looking up the residence of a what seems to be an old girlfriend only to find out that she no longer lives there, it definitely would fit the story, especially early on in the album. I believe it would fit best perhaps before or after Yours Truly, 2095, being that the song was about him sending a message to a lover living over 100 years in the past, perhaps the "Julie" mentioned in this song. This would be supported by the lyrics: "Last night I saw your face in the window," but in the chorus it states: "Julie don't live here anymore, She moved away many years before." Whatever the case I personally like to believe that it does fit in the story.
This song has more of a Pop flavour than it's counterparts, which might have been the reason it was omitted on the original versions of Time, but still has that ELO sound and if you like the band you should like this one.
Here is a video with the studio version on YouTube.
