***What makes the finale of the song even more powerful is that it strikes you whenever you're already emotionally vulnerable from the first two thirds of the song, which was pretty heartbreaking to begin with.

** "Can't Get It Out of My Head", from the same album, can make the tears rain down as well.

** "Can't Get It Out of My Head", from the same album, can make the tears rain down as well. IJustWantToBeSpecial is TruthInTelevision indeed, and you really get the sense that our entirely ordinary protagonist wouldn't indeed be envied by the legends he lists.
Added DiffLines:
*** The implied multiple endings can further the allegory as well. "Julie Don't Live Here" can be interpreted to mean that even finding some acceptance will never give you back what you lost, and "When Time Stood Still" can be read as sinking into depression entirely, seeing everything as barren.

Music/ElectricLightOrchestra may be known for writing having some very happy sounding hits like "Mr. Blue Sky", "Don't Bring Me Down" and "Evil Woman", but you won't find that song here.a lot of their hits and lesser known works don't hold back from being sad.

** When the track fades out, [[FakeOutFadeOut a quiet keyboard arpeggio fades in]] and slowly crescendos into a loud and intense symphony, with Jeff an an opera singer repeating "I will return." Some have interpreted the outro as a hint of hope, while others interpret that the character was so heartbroken, that he commits suicide. If this song doesn't tear you up, or at the very least give you chills, ''the outro certainly will.''

** When the track fades out, [[FakeOutFadeOut a quiet keyboard arpeggio fades in]] and slowly crescendos into a loud and intense symphony, with Jeff an an opera symphony as singer repeating "I will return." Some have interpreted Jeff Lynne and operatic soprano Mary Thomas vow to return to each other. Whether it's an ode of optimism or further emphasizing the outro as a hint of hope, while others interpret that elegy, the character was so heartbroken, that he commits suicide. If final 90 seconds of this song doesn't tear you up, or at are perhaps the very least give you chills, ''the outro certainly will.most beautiful of ELO's catalogue and is a true testimony of Jeff Lynne's genius.''

* "Kuiama", the closing track of the ELO 2 album is known for being the band's longest track, going at 11 minutes. It's a [[WarIsHell war song]] about a soldier talking to a war orphan, the title character whose parents died, while at the same time he tries to explain he killed her parents. After a desperate 4-minute bridge, the soldier can't hold up anymore and just tells Kuiama that he shot them, before a 2-minute long ending with a [[LastNoteNightmare Last Note Nightmare]].
