Expert: Christopher A. Landt Date: 7/20/2006 Subject: Living Thing Lyrics Question
Question Hey there Christopher,
I've heard that the lyrics of "it's a living thing' by ELO are based on that his son died?
do you know any specifics on this?
Answer Hello Mike,
The song "Livin' Thing" from the 1976 "A New World Record" LP is one of the most asked about song due to its lyrics. People have specualted what it is about "Save the Whales" "Abortion" and your "Son Death" question.
Jeff has actually said publically that the song is about "Love" and that Love is a Livin' Thing.
Also, Jeff has Two Daughters and never has had a son.
