About the Song
Roy Orbison, the man with the velvet voice. We all know him for those powerful ballads that could leave you breathless, his signature sunglasses, and that unforgettable baritone that could soar and croon with equal intensity. But Orbison wasn’t just about the big dramatic moments; he also had a knack for crafting simpler, more introspective songs that resonated deeply.
One such song is the aptly titled “Dream”. Released in 1963, it stands as a testament to the power of dreams and the solace they can offer during difficult times. Now, this isn’t some fantastical, escapist dreamland we’re talking about here. Orbison keeps it real. “Dream” acknowledges the harsh realities of life, the moments when you’re feeling down and blue. But within that darkness, it offers a glimmer of hope – the idea that dreams can be a refuge, a place where worries fade and solace can be found.
There’s a sense of quiet wisdom in “Dream”. It’s a song that speaks to the resilience of the human spirit, the ability to find strength even in the face of hardship. It reminds us that sometimes, the simplest things – like letting your mind wander and taking comfort in memories – can be the most powerful tools for getting through tough times. So, put on your favorite record, or pull up the song online, and let Roy Orbison’s soothing vocals wash over you. You might just find yourself feeling a little better, a little more hopeful, by the time the last note fades away.
