This is my favorite entry. I like the ELO style, and I think you did a great job of incorporating the classical sample without making it sound awkward or out of place. Plus, I really dig your voice.

I like that someone did the "play over a string orchestra" maneuver. Really, really well.

The synths are pleasantly evocative of some of the more upbeat songs of the 80s. I also like the I-iv progression. You picked one of the least risky pieces of classical music ever, but it happens to be an old favorite of mine. It blends in really well with your string synth, which says a lot about your string synth, I guess. I think the lyrics feel a bit like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," in that they're trippy and evocative, but also in that they're kind of missing a sense of conflict. The descriptions are vivid, but I'm not sure what motivation is supposed to be propelling us through the song.
