About the Song
Roy Orbison, the man with the velvet voice. We all know him for those powerful ballads that could send shivers down your spine and make your heart ache in the best way possible. Today, we’re going to revisit one of those classic Orbison gems: “Walk On”.
Released in 1968, “Walk On” might not have been a chart-topping hit like some of his earlier work, but for many fans, it’s a true hidden treasure. It captures everything we love about Orbison’s style: that soaring, dramatic voice, the lush orchestration, and the lyrics that paint a vivid picture of love, loss, and perseverance.
This song isn’t about a fiery, passionate romance. It’s about a love that’s endured the test of time, perhaps even faced some challenges. Orbison’s voice pleads with his lover, urging them to “Walk On”, to keep the faith and weather the storm together. There’s a quiet strength in his plea, a belief that their love can overcome anything if they just keep moving forward, hand in hand.
“Walk On” is a song that resonates with anyone who’s ever been through tough times in a relationship. It’s a reminder that love is a journey, not a destination, and that sometimes the most important thing is to simply keep putting one foot in front of the other. So, put on your favorite pair of headphones, settle in, and let Roy Orbison’s powerful voice wash over you as we delve into the beautiful ballad, “Walk On”.
