You are hearing the magnificent voice and the lyrics written by Roy Orbison. The words "all the rainbows in the sky start to weep and say goodbye" are almost magical to hear. I don't know how else to express the feelings that phrase stirs in us. Also Roy Orbison is considered to have the greatest voice in popular or R&R music.

You are so right. Roy Orbison was the master of conveying emotional turmoil and heartbreak combined with a beautiful falsetto voice. As you touched on, Roy's life was very tragic. Maybe it was his own personal heartbreak than gave him this desolate Texan drawl combined with heartache . Maybe. There will never be another singer like Roy Kelton Orbison.

The words are great, the music in the back ground is perfect, and there is even a strum of the guitar that feels like a pain heartbreak, and his voice is so smooth.

After my baby son died, this song has always brought me to tears. I just realised that when my husband left me for my best friend, this song, still, only reminds me of the loss of my baby even though both were heartbreaking. I guess it's because this song came out at the time of my baby leaving.

I think my favorite Orbison song is “Crying”. I had actually just commented on another “It’s Over” video 10 minutes ago about how beautiful the “All the rainbows…” lyric was, so I agree that “It’s Over” is the Roy Orbison song with the best lyrics, but I like “Crying” best because it is such a vocal tour de force.

Roy had more than his share of tragedy in his life. His first wife was killed in a motorcycle accident. His two eldest children died in a house fire. Many people would have lost it at that point. But he poured his soul out through his songs. And he never allowed it to make him a bitter person. He remained friendly with people, friends and fans alike, and died well before his time.

The facts are that Roy had an incredibly sad and tragic life. I believe he lost his first wife and child in a house fire. I think he lost another child from his wife in a second marriage. This poor man, knew about Heartache and pain, firsthand. He and Elvis, and Johnny Cash were close friends, and started at the same small upstart record company in Memphis called "Sun Records."

@elgoscoix Жыл бұрын

Not exactly. He lost his first wife in a motorcycle accident (they were returning home from a race, and he suddenly realised she wasn't following him any more: he came back and found she had been killed by a lorry which had crashed into her motorcycle). Two years later, when Roy had already met his second wife but they hadn't married yet, his two oldest sons were killed in a fire at his home while he was touring the UK. His parents could only save his youngest son. Afterwards, he had two more sons by his second wife. But all of this happened years later Roy had recorded his most famous songs about hearbreak.
