The story behind the song

Roy Orbison was known for his distinctive and powerful voice, crafting complex song structures and dark, emotional ballads. Many of his songs conveyed a sense of vulnerability, standing apart from the image of strength projected by most male performers of his time. This song, "Bye Bye Love," plays like an expression of that tender, reflective side.
