I read once that Roy Orbison actually dreamt the lyrics to 'In Dreams' - and that the dream woke him up. He immediately wrote them down and added the melody to create the song. The dream had special meaning to him and is in my opinion one of Orbison's best and most beautiful songs.
Bono fell asleep listening to In Dreams from the Blue Velvet soundtrack, and when he woke up, he had a new "Roy Orbison song" in his head. HE played it for the rest of U2 backstage before a concert, and the band all agreed that it sounded like a Roy song. Lo and behold, Roy was at that very concert with his sons, and he met the band and mentioned that he would like to do a song with them. That became "She's A Mystery To Me", which also gave Roy the title for his final album.
Dean Stockwell so good in Blue Velvet and so many other roles.Not flashy but be was a true professional who made the movie the star and not himself.RIP Mr.Stockwell

I hate to take away from this because hard work is so important, but if we’re being realistic, some people are more talented than others out of the gate, and these people often get farther with the same amount of hard work as someone less talented. People like Lynch and Orbison are both very talented and very hard working.
My little girl, before she could walk, was crawling on the carpet in front of the stereo when I put his greatest hits in and 'In Dreams' came on. She just froze when the vocals started. Froze. And stayed frozen right until... the music all came in right after... "I close my..." Bump ba ba bump bump... And she just started rocking forward and back at that moment and kept going. This was about 1990 so we didn't have insta-recording devices always in hand. It was such a beautiful thing to watch.
In Dreams is my favorite song. Of course I first became aware of it when I saw Blue Velvet! One strange thing about the song is it does not have a chorus. It just keeps going and changing. But it's so perfect it somehow still works as a pop song. Probably the most perfect song I have heard as well as my favorite.
A LOT of Roys songs didn't have verses, because he says he got many of his songs literally 'in his dreams'. This is from wikopedia "Like many of Orbison's songs, "In Dreams" rejects the verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus structure of the majority of rock and roll fare. Instead it mirrors the procession of falling asleep and becoming immersed in an elusive fantasy.[11] It begins like a lullaby with minimal acoustic guitar strums, with Orbison introducing the listener to "A candy-colored clown they call the sandman" half-spoken and half-sung in a Sprechgesang fashion common in operas and other musical theater performances.[6] The sandman puts him to sleep, where he begins singing about dreams of his lover. Drums pick up the rhythm to follow Orbison's lyrics further into subconsciousness, and a piano joins as the lyrics recount how Orbison spends time with her, accompanied by breathy backup singers. Orchestra strings counter his melody that has the effect of representing a singing voice in themselves.[12] Using a five- to eight-note range, Orbison's voice rises as he wakes up to find his lover gone. The song trips; the music stops and a staccato tattoo replaces it, as he cries when remembering she has left him. The climax is a powerful crescendo as he cries "It's too bad that all these things / Can only happen in my dreams", and the resolution follows his voice from falsetto to the final note an octave below as he sings "Only in dreams / In beautiful dreams", as all the instruments and singers conclude with him abruptly.[12] The song never repeats a section. In two minutes and forty-eight seconds, it goes through seven movements with distinct melodies and chord progressions. The first two sections are sixteen bars each; the rest are only eight bars. In comparison to the standard form of pop songs in AABA - where A represents a standard verse, and B represents a variation, usually referred to as the bridge - "In Dreams", with each variation, can be represented as Intro-A-B-C-D-E-F.[6] "
I loved Blue Velvet, but maybe the best thing is that it spawned a revival of Roy Orbison. And in glad he got to enjoy that before he died. Seeing the guys in the Willburys show such deference to him was heartwarming
It took 30 years before "You Got It" smacked me upside the head. It's a glorious '60s "wall of sound" production that just so happens to have been released in the late '80s.
Was listening to the album In Dreams on the weeks leading up to his transition. His music and Julee Cruise's take me right back to when I first stepped into David Lynch's world. What a beautiful place to find yourself in, like those nightmare you don't want to wake up from because they make you feel so alive. I love him so much. We''ll miss you and your voice buddy. Godspeed.
I played guitar in a cover band that did In Dreams, Crying, and Blue Bayou. Great tunes that required awesome vocals, which we were lucky enough to have.
Brilliant use of the song. The serendipitous, wonderful art of David Lynch. Also, after David remastered "In Dreams." for the movie, Roy rerecorded all of his greatest hits. His voice still strong, they were better than the originals on the greatest hits album. Highly recommended. A few years after they met, Roy passed away. Thank goodness David Lynch brought Roy back to prominence.
Arizjoe Can I submit your post to Private Eye's Pseuds Corner? The "serendipitous, wonderful art of David Lynch" puts lynch himself to shame! Thank you in advance.
@@ARIZJOE You just ruined it all with rather bad grammar (been at the drink...??), but your sober: "The serendipitous, wonderful art of David Lynch" will always be treasured. Any more gems? You can do it!
"Thank goodness David Lynch brought Roy back to prominence." Did for me. I got into David Lynch when I found Eraserhead, then set about finding his other work. When I got to Blue Velvet and heard "In Dreams" then I set about finding Roy Orbison's other work. Crying, Only the Lonely, Leah, I Drove All Night. The haunted high ground of US pop. 👍
@@michaelgove9349If you haven't yet, you should give "The Actress" a listen, I just heard it recently from the compilation album "The Soul of Rock and Roll" containing 107 of his well-known and obscure songs, and some demos.
I was in to transcendental meditation when I was 19-20. I didn't stay with it but this story is cool that Lynch got to meditate with the great Roy Orbison.
I think what strikes me most about the ‘In Dreams’ sequence from Blue Velvet is that there’s nothing explicitly surreal or strange about the scene. Sure it’s a strange scene and everything feels just kinda “off” and uncomfy but it’s not Lynch’s signature surrealism. And yet, despite all that, the entire scene is just so bafflingly bizarre and surreal. It might be the closest anyone has ever come to depicting what it feels like to have a dream. In any art form ever.
I agree I think Lynch has come the closest to depicting what dreams *feel* like, perhaps what they even look like. BV has never spoken to me, not my favourite Lynch work at all, but after watching this, like the great Roy Orbinson I'm going to give it another go!
I once watched every episode of twin peaks, and every film David Lynch ever made back to back without sleep.... I don't remember it, I just know I did it
David Lynch scares me. Of all the artists I have ever seen interviewed Lynch just emanates the aura of genius. He can literally weave reality out of nothing. Part of that man is out in another dimension!
The man knew tragedy first hand. Roy lost his wife in a car crash and his twin sons in a house fire only days later. Just before the dawn, i awake and find you gone, i cant help it, i cant help it, if i cry, i remember when you said goodbye.
@FRAME INTO FOCUS These are amazing! I just watched the Coffee Break video. Where are they from?? I am amazed that there is an endless well of David Lynch......just when you thought you'd seen everything!
Brilliant clip... In Dreams, defines my greatest woe... However, I differ in relation. I consider myself hunted...and forever cursed..!! It only comes once or twice a moon...yet it's been nearly three decades now... Like in the song, I get to loose her all over again...and it rips open the womb again, never to heal...
The structure of the scene in Blue Velvet and official video to "Walk On" seems similar. Singer on stage in a sense (sound stage, surrounded by curtains) viewed by others, with then the arrival of a woman, at which time one of the protagonists (not the singer in Blue velvet unfortunately) feels a sense of shame or guilt or some negative emotion. The way that the lady walks in in Blue Velvet also reminds me of the way that Sadako arrives, or walks, in the climax of "Ringu" the Japanese horror movie where Sadako arrives out of a TV set.
Nicolas Winding Refn described that each of his films is a different genre of music. I think it was something like Pusher was grunge, Valhalla Rising was heavy metal, and Drive was REM
I know this interview is about blue velvet, but I’m glad Mulholland Drive was mentioned. I just love Rebekah Del Rio’s cover Llorando of the Roy Orbison’s classic song. Amazing voice, amazing song.
@@kenchawkin4379 Thanks Ken for your response. I assumed the song was just about a lost lover, I did not know both Roy and Rebekah lost a child. I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child. Nothing could be worse. This explains the amazing intensity of her voice. Tears comes to me, from what you told me and thinking of the song which I have on my phone. Thanks again, Arthur
I can understand. But "In Dreams" was yearning, pathos, surrealistic even before the film, the essence of Mr. Roy Orbison, just a really different person and a wonderful artist.
@@Johnlindsey289 I actually don't remember the song. I just played Comanche and it doesn't connect me to the movie. (I take it you're talking about Pulp Fiction?)
I thought this was wonderful to hear his explanation. Something I noticed was he spoke of Roy in “present tense”. Unless I heard wrong, Mr Lynch didn’t speak of Roy as “was” a good person.
@@davidmckenzie420 Thank you, David. I was about to remark on the song's rather unusual structure, but you beat me to it. I can't think of another song like it. Like a series of ascending plateaus.
@@napsahtava This struck me after seeing Blue Velvet for the first time. It was the only pop song I could think of that has no callbacks to an earlier section. But I thought well, there must be some others. Now it's years later, and I still haven't found one. Maybe I'll write one. 👍
Me too, i heard my mom and grandma's albums in the year Roy died in 1988 when i was 6 and i saw this movie on video at 14 known as Blue Velvet after hearing about it in movie review books and magazines and internet.
Yep, I'm currently obsessed with The Actress, Crying, Falling, In Dreams, It's Over, It Takes All Kinds of People, My Prayer, Only Alive, Running Scared, Sunset, Unchained Melody, and Walk On. His soft low singing slowly building up to loud operatic belting always gives me goosebumps.
@@oliverfrench467yes that was an interview with Dwight Yoakum. Cool how he admired Roy and said he had the “ voice of an angel falling backwards out of an upstairs window” 😎
Rest in peace David lynch
He did a great job. He improved life for a lot of people
“In dreams” is a phrase that could easily describe every David lynch film. Such a perfect fit for the film.
I read once that Roy Orbison actually dreamt the lyrics to 'In Dreams' - and that the dream woke him up. He immediately wrote them down and added the melody to create the song.
The dream had special meaning to him and is in my opinion one of Orbison's best and most beautiful songs.
wow.. a song about dreams originating from a dream. god rules.
I believe it’s just the intro and the ending “it’s too bad that all these things...” that he dreamed.
Bono fell asleep listening to In Dreams from the Blue Velvet soundtrack, and when he woke up, he had a new "Roy Orbison song" in his head. HE played it for the rest of U2 backstage before a concert, and the band all agreed that it sounded like a Roy song. Lo and behold, Roy was at that very concert with his sons, and he met the band and mentioned that he would like to do a song with them. That became "She's A Mystery To Me", which also gave Roy the title for his final album.
I always said the whole In Dreams album was a mini opera.
Roy actually said he was pleasured by a girl. When he woke up she had gone. He wasn't dreaming. His wallet had gone.
I love David Lynch and Roy Orbison!
The exact comment I was going to Wright.
And pabst blue ribbon
@jaye see haha 👍
Absolutely. Definitely not Heineken..
They love you too.
My favourite scene in blue velvet. Dennis Hopper is a genius
Its pretty unforgettable.
And Dean Stockwell too !
The man was clear in his mind but his soul was mad
no matter how many times I watch Blue Velvet Dennis Hopper scares the s*** out of me every time...
I think the mask thing was spontaneous and not to the credit of Lynch; rather, Hopper showed up with it and Lynch loved it.
Dean Stockwell so good in Blue Velvet and so many other roles.Not flashy but be was a true professional who made the movie the star and not himself.RIP Mr.Stockwell
Dean Stockwell was so wonderfully bizarre in Blue Velvet....genius....may he RIP
@@rowley555 Despite his quite striking face, it took me the longest time before I realised Al in Quantum Leap was the same guy as Ben in Blue Velvet. Inhabits the role!
He ain’t dead, just quantum leaping
I had a chance to meet him 7 years later while a student at Pepperdine Law. I could kick myself for not taking the opportunity.
ONLY David Lynch could conceive of a role for Dean Stockwell as a gay thug.
If 'Good Vibrations' is a pocket symphony, 'In Dreams' is a pocket opera. My favorite Roy Orbison song. Sheer genius.
Perfect comment

David Lynch meditates with Roy Orbison! Man, to catch even a whif of the talent in that room and let it seep in.
Lynch can make anything creepier he has a gift.

To put it politely .. they were both medicated up ..

A song that does not repeat parts is called “through-composed.”

WOW. Great Story Thanks for sharing. Thanks for All Your Art Mr Lynch ❤
I'm sure that, in a parallel universe, David Lynch directed a Roy Orbison biopic starring Kyle MacLachlan.
That would be great. David Lynch only made a couple biopics: the Elephant Man and the Straight Story
What a charming story...warmed my heart.
Blue Velvet is a movie you can't stop watching. Draws you in deep. And Frank Booth was the ultimate, evil bastard.
Last year I drove by street sign that said Meadow Lane and it gave me the chills for a moment.
Roy Orbison is the GOAT. Even "the King" Elvis Presley was in awe of Roy Orbison and his voice. He is the Caruso of Rock and Roll.
I played guitar in a cover band that did In Dreams, Crying, and Blue Bayou. Great tunes that required awesome vocals, which we were lucky enough to have.
I think with "In Dreams" - using it the way you did (David Lynch) in this setting.
Made the song last even longer that it would be originally.

I looked this up and from what I could find the fire was 2 years later. Either way that's a hell of a lot from him to have had to recover from.
This was a fantastic story even when he said he just met Roy Orbison. But that ending turned it into a sublime story ❤
Can you imagine Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch would wrote and produced an album for Roy Orbison? Sadly Roy died at age of 52 soon to early.
I’ve been a Roy fan since 88 at age six and I saw blue velvet at age 14 on video and one of my favorite movies of 86
I really love this!

^this is your sign to learn TM
The only way to deascribe the voice of Roy Orbison is, it's like a drug once you have tasted his magical voice you are hooked.
I saw someone describe him once as sounding like an angel falling backwards out of an upstairs window. Not a bad description!
I saw him live in the 80's . He could hit all those 60's high notes effortlessly live as well.
