Roy Orbison - Running Scared

Wow, denna sangen gir meg fortsatt goosebumps. Fantastisk live show som vart filma eit år før sin død i 1988. Er du fan av Roy Orbison bør du virkelig skaffe deg Black & White Night på DVD. Det blir ikkje gale når du blir backa av TCB Band (Elvis gamle backingband fra 1969 -1977), Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Elvis "Dildo" Costello, Jackson Brown, KD Lang, Bonnie Raitt m.fl.......Running Scared er for meg eit godt døme på den perfekte poplåt som ikkje følger formelen.

Elton John's writing partner Bernie Taupin wrote that Orbison's songs always made "radical left turns", and k. d. lang declared that good songwriting comes from being constantly surprised, such as how the entirety of "Running Scared" eventually depends on the final note, one word. Some of the musicians who worked with Orbison were confounded by what he asked them to do. Session guitarist Jerry Kennedy stated, "Roy went against the grain. The first time you'd hear something, it wouldn't sound right. But after a few playbacks, it would start to grow on you.
