Roy Orbison - In Dreams (live)


Cântecul datează din 1963. A redobândit faimă mondială în 1987 când Orbison a lansat o antologie cu cele mai mare hit-uri ale sale; un an mai devreme, în 1986, regizorul David Lynch a folosit melodia în provocatorul său thriller „Blue Velvet”, ajutând prin utilizarea acestei piese și la revigorarea carierei lui Roy Orbison. 

"In Dreams" is a song composed and sung by rock and roll performer Roy Orbison in 1963. The song has a unique structure in seven musical movements in which Orbison sings through two octaves, beyond the range of most rock and roll singers.
It gained notability again in 1987 when Orbison released a re-recorded anthology of his greatest hits; the year prior David Lynch had used the song provocatively in his dark thriller Blue Velvet, helping to revive Orbison's career. 
Orbison later claimed that the origin for "In Dreams" came to him while he was sleeping, as many of his songs did. He often heard music while asleep with a radio disc jockey announcing that it was Elvis Presley's new song. 
For this song, however, he was half awake when he imagined it, and thought, "Boy that's good. I need to finish that. Too bad things don't happen in my dreams." When he woke up the next morning, the entire composition was written in 20 minutes. 

The lyrics are
A candy-colored clown they call the sandman 
Tiptoes to my room every night 
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper: 
"Go to sleep, everything is alright" 

I close my eyes 
Then I drift away 
Into the magic night 
I softly sway 
Oh smile and pray 
Like dreamers do 
Then I fall asleep 
To dream my dreams of you 

In dreams...I walk with you 
In dreams...I talk to you 
In dreams...Your mine 

All of the time 
We're together 
In dreams...In dreams 

But just before the dawn 
I awake and find you gone 
I can't help it...I can't help it 
If I cry 
I remember 
That you said goodbye 
To end all these things 
And I'll be happy in my dreams 
Only in dreams 
In beautiful dreams
