Electric Light Orchestra - So Serious Lyrics

This is a sweet song by ELO, the album wasn't a success, one off the reasons in my humble opinion was that the music climate was changed in the second half of the eighties, I think it started in 1987, but it could be even earlier, at that time a lot of new artists showed up out of the blue, those artists had one album or one single or one hit, I call them "one night stand", it was the starting point of low pop music in general and it continues till today

Dear finger, please stop hitting repeat.


-Love your brain (who has had this song stuck in its head for two weeks now.)

One of my favorite ELO albums. It reminds me of moving and this is the album my mom and dad would play on cassette tape. Glad that the new album, From out of Nowhere, has a bit of this style in the music.

Jeff Lynne really seems to like using the Oberheim DMX drum machine on his 80s tracks.

ELO..THE GREATEST BAND ON EARTH.

The beginning sounds kind of like Boy Toy from Little White Lie

Me encanta esta canción!

For Trudy...can it really??

This is the best song of the world!!!!!

良い子のミロだな

Night after night
I try to make it all fit together
Night after night
I see you as someone I remember

You took me by surprise
Opened up my eyes
Now we gotta talk this over

Can it really be so serious?
To be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
(Serious, so serious)

Day after day
I know it's not the way that you want it
Day after day
I try to find the key, but it don't fit

(Day after day)
But you know how it is
(Night after night)
No matter what I did
(Day after day)
We gotta talk it over


Can it really be so serious?
To be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
(Serious, so serious)

Tonight, tonight
I'm thinking over everything you said to me
Tonight, tonight
I'm sorry, but I just didn't see

(Day after day)
And now it's up to you
(Night after night)
There's nothing else to do
(Day after day)
We've gotta talk it over

Can it really be so serious?
To be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
(Serious, so serious)

(Serious, so serious)
Is it so serious?
(Serious, so serious
Serious, so serious)

Zaebatay pesny,buxay s koreshom

Yeah, thats my favoirite song of all times

confession time.. I borrowed this cassette from a work mate in the 90's, and I liked it that much that I never gave him it back !!! I have still got it, sorry.

I swear! I smell cologne when I hear this song (the cologne is called "quorum") I don't understand it, but then again that is another example of the strange MAGIC- that IS Jeff Lynne!!!

Спасибо Господи за то что я могу это слышать. Любить эту жизнь.

We probably all have someone like this. I sort of stopped bothering me, but it does make you think.

elo is best

Моё бедное старое сердце бьется чаще... спасибо Господи. Я живу люблю ненавижу.

Love this song

This music soundtrack is amazing and very very good

I like it

Love this song!

This song is fucking incredible

Brilliant Track!

simplemente ELO

As a teenager in the 80's listening to this song and Calling America, I had no idea ELO was in its last days. What a wonderful piece of music it is.

It sounds like a song by the Cars or do the Cars sound like ELO......hummmm

you obviously don't listen to either band enough...they don't sound anything like each other...this song included...

Anthony McHale I agree. It sounds like neither of them really

я меня на вызов стоит.

Had this song on my old computer and than it died so I lost a lot of old good songs :(

A pretty good album in the post-prime age of ELO.

WHAT A GREAT SONG

degree7 l

Є в мене на полиці такий альбом. Один з улюблених мною!

My favourite ELO song, fucking love balance of power and cant wait to see Jeff in october :)

Nach 25 Jahren wieder gehört. Gänsehaut!!!! Die Musik meiner Jugend.

Diese Musik wird niemals sterben Jeff Lynn ist einfach genial!Mir laufen Freudentränen die Wangen runter wenn ich das höre!Das war meine Jugend!!!Einfach nur Geil!!!Lieben Gruß an alle die Ihn mögen!

ELO + eurodance = this.

Serious-ly a great, great song from a fantastic album!

Top of the world song

ELO takes me back to high school days, when you pulled out the vinyl and put it on the record player. Also there great light shows in concert. Its great you can pull up full albums on your computer and enjoy the music. Thanks to You Tube.

That second "night after night"...
The second "night" in that bit...
I like how Jeff sings that.
This one and "Is It Alright" are two gems from this slightly underrated album.

I just heard this song and I thought it was from 2015 or something until I saw that it was an ELO song..... Way ahead of their time!

Night after night
I try to make it all fit together
Night after night
I see you as someone I remember
You took me by surprise
Opened up my eyes
Now we gotta talk this over.[CHORUS:]
Can it really be so serious?
To be all broken up and delirious
I guess we've really been out of touch
But can it really be so serious?
(Serious, so serious)Day after day
I know it's not the way that you wanted it
Day after day
I try to find the key, but it don't fit
But you know how it is
No matter what I did
We gotta talk it over.[REPEAT CHORUS]Tonight, tonight
I'm thinking over everything you said to me
Tonight, tonight
I'm sorry, but I just didn't see
And now it's up to you
There's nothing else to do
We've gotta talk it over.[REPEAT CHORUS]Serious, so serious
Is it so serious?
Serious, so serious...

En español. Porfa

There is a music video for this song. It's been uploaded elsewhere on the web. Unfortunately, not here.

Just so you know, I discovered it's actually here, but it's region locked to the USA. This is just silly. The audio is available worldwide, the video is US-only.

5 seconds in...like

Qué habra pasado que antes había un video de estudio de esta canción y no lo encuentro más??

Why so serious?

ya know, u remind me of my father. I hated my father!!!

theawesomewarlover wut?

Catchy... very very catchy....

this album is so underrated. but most of their others were superlative, so I get why it's been overlooked.

Andrew Zanon Agreed

shity watercolour's fave song

Such an underrated album.

Henry Stanley Calling America is a masterpiece

Thank you

My personal ELO favorite

Why so serious?

What a song elo the best

Love is not a big enough word for songs like this. But can it really be so serious? Answer: Serious. SO SERIOUS.

I love this song ! Every time when I feel bad listening this song !!

Okay, I figured it out. it's the guitar lick. it gets more serious after each verse. Also all bro-ken up and de-ler-i-ous just sounds so smooth...

this sound like a folky eagles song XD

♪♪♪♪

The singing fountains in the centre of my home city of Varna, Bulgaria brought me here :D Catchy song !

me too :D

Your city is a wonderful relaxing place. I visited in August last year and hope to return

It's serious.

freejoco should try to sing it in the jokers voice, I'm doing it right now

So siri ass/

One of my all time favorite :)

22.571 views? How is that even possible, when it's one of the best songs on YouTube?

Cristiano Torres who cares about numbers?

I searched for this song like forever. Heard it like once or twice a year on the radio and I searched in google only for "delirious". Today I finally heard the whole song on the radio and had time to record it with my smartphone while I was driving my traktor to the vineyard :-)

Love this song

despacito is much better yhan this song

So, so true, my friend.
