      I think this line, is what changes the tone of the song for me. It takes it from a sort of happy jaunt to what effectively feels like something youd say to a terminally Ill person.
      Seriously go back and read the first few lines with that in mind and you'll get veeeeeery different feels from this song. To me it feels like someone trying to cheer up their terminally Ill friend on that once in a while good day

    The ELO original is the last song I played on my Radio Shack (Technics) turntable with Optimus 1-B RS speakers the last day of summer before my senior year in college. It capped off a summer of transition in which I cut my long hair, shaved a Lasse Viren beard, got contact lenses and became a new young man determined to fulfill my potential as a runner at Luther College. This song's optimism with a touch of sadness was the perfect way to wrap up August and go get it the best I could. A week later I'd fallen in love at first sight with a green-eyed beauty who I met at an RA retreat. I rose from seventh man on the cross country team to second man and helped lead the team to an NCAA D3 second place at nationals. That love affair carried me through 800 miles of training, lasted another year or so and imploded after we tried to keep a long distance relationship going. But the innocence of this song sticks with me to this day, and this version captures an older man's appreciation for an earlier time. Nicely done.

    You know what's weird? She has some of the best Jazz club singer arm movements around, just incredibly expressive and perfect for the moments in the song. I assumed she had been doing it for many years to get that good.
    But her other videos are generally her with a guitar ... and she is ridiculously young. I'm not sure she has ever performed like this before. Just a perfect natural.
    She has a life full of amazing performances ahead of her.

      A man is behind a machine gun firing his machine gun as his comrades, part of the resistance run away to the escape craft as the regime forces close in on the building, meanwhile somewhere else, the protagonist is on his knees in front of the tyrant as 1 man behind aims his long rifle at his head as it flashes back to the Machine gunner as he is overrun as he begins throwing fists at the enemy as his other comrades are shot and only 2 escape crafts make a way as the screen fades to black as the song ends on a gun shot.

      Actually, I've seen a few other Postmodern Jukebox covers, and I'd say this one is the best at rethinking the source material. It's SO different from ELO's version, and I think better. The others sound a lot like - though not the same as - their originals. This one just ... it's awesome, and yes, so much of it is due to the band, the setting, the performers, and the arrangement, but without Allison Young it just wouldn't work. She's amazing.

This rendition somehow perfectly captures the melancholia I remember of walking around a college campus as a freshman blasting this in headphones and watching people around me form some of their happiest memories while my life slowly and painfully drastically changed.

    The part where she sings 'Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why you had to go away for so long. Where did we go wrong?' reminds me of a post-apocalyptic era where a nuclear fallout covered the earth's atmosphere in dense clouds and the sky was no longer visible and people can only glimpse it very rarely.

    This was a very difficult song, harder than anything Streisand for example ever sang. She not only nailed it but embellished it, making it all seem easy. If she will be the main attraction, I'll definitely buy tickets to Postmodern's show in my area.

    I saw PMJ in Durham, NC early in 2020 right before the pandemic quarantine. I went with my two sisters. It was the last concert my older sister got to see, as she passed away in November of that year from cancer. What a beautiful performance. You guys are really talented. Thank you.
