Above The Clouds is a song recorded by Electric Light Orchestra.

The song is the 7th track from their multi-platinum album A New World Record. Running for only 2 minutes and 16 seconds it is the shortest track of the album and is also one of the calmer tracks featuring pizzicato bass strings. It starts with Jeff Lynne singing in front of a violin and at the 20 second mark the song progresses into a soft and slightly psychedelic beat which eventually leads into the next track, 'Do Ya'.
