Out of the Blue is the seventh studio album by the Electric Light Orchestra, released on October 28, 1977 through Jet Records. It was released as a double-album, with side three being designated as the "Concerto for a Rainy Day" based upon the weather experienced while recording in Munich. The album is the most commercially successful of the band's output, with "Turn to Stone", "Sweet Talkin' Woman" and "Mr. Blue Sky" as the biggest singles within. "Mr. Blue Sky" remains a fan favorite to this day, its current profile partially boosted via an appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014). | |

Concept Album | |
| Out of the Blue (Music) / int_34f6774c | comment |
Concept Album: Although the album itself isn't a concept album, Side Three is "Concerto for a Rainy Day", which involves how the mood gets affected by weather conditions, particularly the rain. | |

Weather Report Opening | |
| Out of the Blue (Music) / int_42368755 | comment |
Weather Report Opening: "Mr. Blue Sky" begins with a literal weather report, delivered with the crackle and reverb of a radio broadcaster predicting a clear day ahead. The track then launches into first verse of the song, with Jeff Lynne breathlessly describing a beautiful day with cloudless skies and abundant sunshine: | |

Fake-Out Fade-Out | |
| Out of the Blue (Music) / int_5b2e1e5e | comment |
Fake-Out Fade-Out: "Mr. Blue Sky" appears to end once the choral section peters out, only to launch into a coda a moment later, consisting of guitar, strings, and choir, with the song finally ending with a vocoded voice singing "please turn me over." | |

Taken for Granite: "Turn to Stone" metaphorically uses the singer turning to stone to indicate how he feels when his loved one has left him. | |

| Out of the Blue (Music) / int_ff71e36b | comment |
Alternate Music Video: The original music video for "Mr. Blue Sky" was a Dress Rehearsal Video, as was standard for the band prior to their dissolution in 1986. At the start of 2019, the song received a second video that loosely adapts the lyrics via incredibly surreal and kaleidoscopic animation. | |
