ELO在慢板抒情歌的編曲與和聲上相當出色。【Ticket to the moon 】這首歌的前奏好美！曾在一則評論中讀到＂Bleak＂這個字：蒼涼，十分貼切地點出這首歌的寂境氛圍。
Sony Music 在2013年曾發行ELO共11張CD的經典大全集（本週二又發行了一個5 CD的版本）， 團名譯為「電光交響樂團」，很怪吧？但ELO的確有大提琴和小提琴手，這應該是團名中有Orchestra（管絃樂團）這個字的由來。
【Ticket To The Moon】Electric Light Orchestra
Remember the good old 1980s?
When things were so uncomplicated?
I wish i could go back there again
And everything could be the same.
I've got a ticket to the moon
I'll be leaving here any day soon
Yeah, i've got a ticket to the moon
But i'd rather see the sunrise in your eyes.
Got a ticket to the moon
I'll be rising high above the earth so soon
And the tears i cry might turn into the rain
That gently falls upon your window
You'll never know.
Chorus:
Ticket to the moon (ticket to the moon)
Ticket to the moon (ticket to the moon)
Ticket to the moon (ticket to the moon)
Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright, oh, oh.
Flying high above
Soaring madly through the mysteries that come
Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here
Could turn around and i would see you there
Standing there (and i would see you there, waiting...)
Ticket to the moon
Flight leaves here today from satellite two
As the minutes go by, what should i do?
I paid the fare, what more can i say?
It's just one way (only one way)...
