Roy Orbison - In Dreams

About "In Dreams"

"In Dreams" is a song composed and sung by singer Roy Orbison. An operatic rock ballad of lost love, it was released as a single on Monument Records in February 1963. It became the title track of the album In Dreams, released in July of the same year. The song has a unique through-composed structure in seven movements in which Orbison sings through two octaves, beyond the range of most rock singers.

The song peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 charts at number 7, and charted in the United Kingdom for five months while Orbison toured with the Beatles. It gained notability again in 1987 when Orbison released a re-recorded anthology of his greatest hits; the year prior director David Lynch had used the song provocatively in his film Blue Velvet, helping to revive interest in Orbison's music. The theme of the song was interwoven in similar compositions throughout his tenure as a musician; as a result, several collections of Orbison's music share the title of the song. Rolling Stone listed "In Dreams" at number 319 of their "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2012.
