‘The Move’ Transforms To The Electric Light Orchestra, The Series (Part Three) [VIDEO]

Classical instrumentation would be the pure support for Lynne’s vocal as ELO songs played out a symphony type sound.

'Shazam' was the perfect inception of such an idea.

If there was to be a highlight of their album 'Shazam' (1969) it would be the song “Beautiful Daughter.” 

The ditty is a mere two minutes and forty two seconds and would prove to be the most ambitious and beautiful moments in The Move discography.

"Beautiful Daughter" is no doubt a  breather from the hard rocking compositions also on the album, such as; “Hello Susie” and “Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited.”

"Well it's nice in it's way, "Yes", you know, some of it, not uh, not
When they go naked.
Uh, you are obviously not British people, where are you from? "I'm
British.
You're British, you were born in Britain.
Where is you, where? "Stepney"
Stepney. Nice, um, what are your favorite British pop artists?
Um, well I don't have one anyway
Do you like reggae? It's my music.)
There we go, running before we can walk again
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again, see her face again
Blast the world, fruits of the morning...
Carry the weight of the heart in a storm
Suffer the dawn today, today
*Your beautiful daughter made me younger today
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay" (The Move)
