Views: 62457 |  |  |  |  | Roy Orbison live on the Johnny Cash Show. Lyrics: I was all right for a while I could smile for a while But I saw you last night You held my hand so tight As you stopped to say, "Hello" Oh, you wished me well You couldn't tell That I'd been crying over yo ...More u Crying over you When you said, "So long" Left me standing all alone Alone and crying, crying Crying, crying It's hard to understand But the touch of your hand Can start me crying I thought that I was over you But it's true, so true I love you even more Than I did before But, darling, what can I do? For you don't love me And I'll always be crying over you Crying over you Yes, now you're gone And, from this moment on I'll be crying, crying Crying, crying Yeah, crying, crying Over you |

~ Sonny James 'Only The Lonely.'
Views: 44980 |  |  |  |  | Sonny James had a long career having his first hit in 1953, 'That's Me Without You.'. He went on to become one of country music's finest balladeers. His first crossover hit, 'Young Love' was one of the 50's most evocative sounds reaching the number 1 spot ...More in the Pop charts despite competition from Tab Hunter. His version of 'Only The Lonely' went to number 1 in the country charts in 1969, but what I like about it that Sonny puts his own stamp on a great song without resorting to copying the Roy Orbison classic. |

~ Only the Lonely (Frank Sinatra)
Views: 47110 |  |  |  |  | "Only the Lonely" was Sinatra's favorite album. Recorded in 1958, Nelson Riddle claimed it was his own best work as an arranger. It truly is one of Sinatra's greatest albums--if not "the greatest." The arrangements are exquisite; the orchestrations, elega ...More nt. Sinatra's voice is perfect, and perfectly touching and tender in every emotion. This song was especially written for Sinatra and he delivers it with desperation, devastation and desolation--and with the kind of heartbreak, well, only the lonely know... Each place I go Only the lonely go Some little small cafe The songs I know Only the lonely know Each melody recalls a love that used to be The dreams I dream Only the lonely dream Of lips as warm as May That hopeless scheme only the lonely scheme That soon somewhere you'll find the one that used to care And you'll recall each fun time Those picnics at the beach when love was new It well could be the one time A hopeless little dream like that comes true If you find love hang on to each caress And never let love go For when it's gone you'll know the loneliness, the heartbreak Only the lonely know... Note: I have incorrectly attributed Nelson Riddle as the song's conductor. Concertmaster Felix Slatkin conducted the session; Riddle arranged the score. I further miscredited "Capital" Records; it's actually spelled "Capitol." |

His family moved to Fort Worth around 1943 to find work in the munitions and aircraft factories which had expanded during the Second World War. They moved to the West Texas oil town of Wink in Winkler County near the border of New Mexico, in late 1946. Music became an important part of Orbison's family life.

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 all right. I close my eyes, then I drift away Into the magic night. I softly say A silent prayer 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 youre mine. all of the time, were together In dreams, in dreams. But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone. I cant help it, I cant help it, if I cry. I remember that you said goodbye. Its too bad that all these things, can only happen in my dreams Only in dreams in beautiful dreams. |

~ The Rolling Stone Magazine 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (201-300)
Views: 46708 |  |  |  |  | The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time was the cover story of a special issue of Rolling Stone magazine published in November 2004, The song list was chosen based on votes by 172 musicians, critics, and music industry figures. With 23 songs on the list, The B ...More eatles are the most represented musical act. John Lennon is the only artist to place multiple songs in the top 10 (as a member of the Beatles and as a solo artist). The Beatles are followed by The Rolling Stones (14 entries); Bob Dylan (12); Elvis Presley (11); The Beach Boys and Jimi Hendrix (seven each); and Chuck Berry, U2, James Brown, Prince, Led Zeppelin and Sly & the Family Stone (six each). To make videos of the five parts of this list, I've decided to play only the name of each song - whenever it's possible - (thanks for the idea Mcguffin !), so it's pretty fast, the other videos you've already seen on Youtube (who are not by me) are from the German version of the magazine, but here's the official list. From 101 to 200: 201. Bizarre Love Triangle, New Order 202. Come Together, The Beatles 203. Positively 4th Street, Bob Dylan 204. Try a Little Tenderness, Otis Redding 205.
