Really wonderful soundscape! Awesome guitar playing!

Condolences, Andreas...sweet tribute, mate!!!

Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra was one of my favorite songs from the late 1970's, and arguably one of the happiest songs ever written! This project is a lead vocal cover over an enhanced and remixed recording of the original instrumental and backup vocal tracks. I played along with and layered over the instrumental tracks with similar sounding instruments, to give it more presence and punch! Didn't reinvent the wheel here, just polished up the rims a bit! Enjoy!

I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)
Love will always fade
Wars will always rage
And no one is a sage

I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)
Faith will always fail
Plagues rain down like hail
And there’s no Holy Grail

I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)
Beauty wastes away
A hero’s feet turn to clay
And sunny skies always go gray

I should have learned by now (Yeah, you should have learned by now)
I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)
I really should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)
I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)

Take a million stories
Spread them ‘cross the land
They may be inspiring
But few will understand
Take a million deep breaths
Watch your life unfold
Never dream of your death
Still you’re growing old

It’s a cruel, dark world 
Hard to find the pearls (You should have learned by now)
I’ve been searching for all my life
Someone please shine me a light

It’s a bitter end (You should have learned by now)
Take comfort in your friends (You should have learned by now)
I’ve been searching for all my days
But I know I can’t be saved

I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)
I should have learned by now (You should have learned by now)

Life has taught me that all I know is that I know nothing!

So I'm bound to cite the late Holger Czukay (CAN), 
"We completely refuse to make a judgement about what is beautiful and what isn't. We make something, that's all, and the scope of possible sounds is immense.  We're not musicians, we're universal dilettantes" (1972)

In 2007 a friend induced my German choice of name SEELENSACK (Sac de l'âme - Soul's Sack). 

Im Jahr 2007 regte eine gute Freundin mich zur Wahl des Pseudonyms  "Seelensack" an.

I am a Facebook - Twitter - Instagram - refusenik ... so I will not support anybody on these media platforms, sorry!

Goodbye, MAX
