Wow ! This song is breathless, Roy had an angel voice and now he is in heaven. We will never have another singer like him, I am sure a lot of people miss him, I surely do miss his songs. Thanks Big O !!!

@irishmanufan 1988, during the Wilbury era. Sadly, Orbison never lived to see the release in 1989 - he died weeks after completing the song. Bono wrote, produced and played guitar for the song.
@azapro911 i didn't know this was written by Bono . cool . it is so sad Roy Orbison didn't live to see this song released . i remember the video of the traveling willburys song "end of the line" where they had a guitar on a rocking chair during the section he sang as he had died before the song was released .
@irishmanufan It is a great shame that Orbison died so young - I'd call 52 fairly premature - and particualrly in the middle of the greatest period of his career. The album Mystery Girl would have been a huge hit even if it hadn't been released posthumously - any album with the songs "You Got It" and "She's A Mystery to Me" would be sucessful. And I'm convinced that the fabulous Traveling Wilburys stopped at two albums because they felt the second album wasn't quite as special without Roy.
@goldman8073 you were really lucky to see him live.He was always my husbands idol.Sadly my husband passed away in april2011 but we had such great memories of roy,s music.
@goldman8073 you were really lucky to see him live.He was always my husbands idol.Sadly my husband passed away in april2011 but we had such great memories of roy,s music RIP.
I'm Irish and I think U2 are the most over rated band of all time. Having said that, Bono's finest moment was when he gave this song to the big O. None other demostrates Orbison's remarkable voice like this one.
in an interview both bono and roy said that bono wrote it, it came to him in a dream and the following evening after a u2 concert in london roy orberson came back stage to see them out of the blue as they had never met before
So what Lionsome?? Other people may like Gaga, Bono ect, but not Orbison. Its different types of music. And people like different things. By the way I hate Elvis music :)
In the documentary In Dreams: The Roy Orbison Story, Bono tells how he woke up for a concert's sound check, following a late night listening to the soundtrack to David Lynch's Blue Velvet, and had the tune in his head, figuring it was another Orbison song. A short while later, Orbison met the band backstage at one of their concerts and subsequently asked Bono if he would like to write a song with/for him.
Why did our so called God take this Talanted man away from us and fill he's life with so much pain in losing a wife and son,,,Thank you again Roy Boy again...Go pies for 2011
Too think that fucking scum bag rapist and Corrupt Government officials are still alive to continue their cruelty and you Roy Boy have been taken from us by a so called God of Love.....Stuffing bullshit...I miss you voice Roy boy...Thanks for youtube
His voice reaches into the other side of the human soul & if he were in his life time a painter, then there would not have been a canvas big enough to have shown the emotion in his expression.
My mum's favourite photo from the late 60s is with her standing next to Roy and the late one from the Rolling Stones when they were touring NZ, she said Roy was the nicest bloke
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
@MaryAnn51M He was a major talent, not to mention the favorite singer of Elvis Presley. I'm afraid there will never be another like him. What an angelic voice!!!
Freaking unbelievable voice! To think it was one of Roy's last, released after his death at 52 and at the end of an amazing career, helps me appreciate what a monumental talent we lost.
Im young and don't really listen to him at all really but after seeing a documentary on him with my fam, it truly seemed this guy was fitting for a legend to have all those other well known artists who respected him and he had a hard unique voice, its sucks though his life was marred by tragedy at some points.
my dad is drunk and makeing me play this for him on the "moniter machine" feel pitty on me. Dont get me wrong I love the song but how many times can I replay this song and have roy orbisons voice drowned out by his.
this song made me ball like a girl, what gives, im not a sook, i think roys voice touches somewhere that i cannot explain, the tears feel good though, how odd
@MultiSnotface I was 18 the year this album came out. I was into hard rock, the last vestiges of real punk and metal. And then this blew me away in a way no other music had done. A voice as the vehicle of a sublime message that touched me in a way that the music I had listened to before could never achieve. I'm 41 years old now, and this still has me in tears every time I listen to it. The man was a legend.
This song is great and Roy was the man! However, I think it was in too high of a key for him. The song probably should have been brought down a whole step. He's quite pitchy on the high notes. :(
each to their own opinion and all that but i have to say i think the key is spot on. A beautiful voice with a magnificent range. He absolutely nails this song.
This song has some rather melodramatic and pretentious lyrics that do not always rhyme, a musical arrangement that is fairly basic, a vocal style that many would dismiss as wimpy and dated . . . and I would not change any part of it. Indescribably wonderful.
@LON009 That is the best compliment for Mr. Orbison ever. I was a very little girl when this song came out. I remember asking my dad if we could go see him "live". I remember him looking at me telling me I would never be able to see him in concert because he had a died a few months before. Perhaps now he is singing for God and God is swaying to that lovely voice.
@skylia Wow, that's a nice thought. I often imagine something like that, Roy playing with George Harrison, Hendrix, Chopin, Keith Moon, John Lennon, Freddy Mercury, maybe the best concert ever!
@RAYMONDETHEM, WHILE YOU CAST SOME FIRM OPINION, SWIVEL YOUR EYEBALLS TO THE RIGHT, AND NOTE U2/MYSTERY GIRLS THEN CAST AGAIN MY CONSIDERATE FRIEND. BTW, MUSIC IS FOR APPRECIATING, NOT OPINIONATING, TURN IT UP WHILE YOU GET EDUCATED
Sorry U2 fans. You are either seriously mislead and have no documentation as to the author of this song. U2 members as a group, were not even f'n born when this song was released. They may have done a "revised rendition" of it, but that's all.They do not come anywhere close to authenticity OR talent when it comes to playing this great song.
I think it's inappropiate to call me "numbballs". I didn't call you a name. So let's be civil in our communications.
Point is this: U2 members were TOO young to have written this song when it first came out. SECONDLY, U2's music is a completely different style and genere than anything of Roy's. so, get over it. It is not materially significant. The "credits" on the CD I have with the song do not list U2 as either an author or contributing editor. so, let's be friends. Bye.
@raymondem2 Ok, I`m sorry I called you numbballs. I think Mystery Girl is simmilar to (GRACE) and( All I Want Is You) in style, and these musicians both are, (were) Pop star Rock and Rollers. As far as genres are concerned. Maybe U2 were inspired by the old boy. Every poet is a thief. And U2 were damn sure not the first to recognize that. Friends? I reckon so....
U2 were NOT too young to write this song...this song was released in 1989, and the members of U2 were all born in 1960 or 61. Also, listen to some music of U2's from the Rattle and Hum era...like scrapheappoet said above, All I Want is You is similar to She's A Mystery to Me. Also check out Angel of Harlem, Slow Dancing, Love Rescue Me, etc...Finally, the credits on your CD probably don't list "U2" as author, because "U2" as a band didn't write the song, Bono and The Edge did. Done.

How is it that this incredible song is so hard to find?
Bono?...Orbison? Souls from God's heart and what must be Gabriel's voice. If for no other reason, Iwant to go to heaven to sit in the audience :-))

@RAYMONDETHEM, WHILE YOU CAST SOME FIRM OPINION, SWIVEL YOUR EYEBALLS TO THE RIGHT, AND NOTE U2/MYSTERY GIRLS THEN CAST AGAIN MY CONSIDERATE FRIEND. BTW, MUSIC IS FOR APPRECIATING, NOT OPINIONATING, TURN IT UP WHILE YOU GET EDUCATED

Sorry U2 fans. You are either seriously mislead and have no documentation as to the author of this song. U2 members as a group, were not even f'n born when this song was released. They may have done a "revised rendition" of it, but that's all.They do not come anywhere close to authenticity OR talent when it comes to playing this great song.

@raymondem2 Bono and U2 wrote this. There is even a video on youtube about it. Orbison admitted to it.

@scrapheappoet :
I think it's inappropiate to call me "numbballs". I didn't call you a name. So let's be civil in our communications.
Point is this: U2 members were TOO young to have written this song when it first came out. SECONDLY, U2's music is a completely different style and genere than anything of Roy's. so, get over it. It is not materially significant. The "credits" on the CD I have with the song do not list U2 as either an author or contributing editor. so, let's be friends. Bye.

@raymondem2 Ok, I`m sorry I called you numbballs. I think Mystery Girl is simmilar to (GRACE) and( All I Want Is You) in style, and these musicians both are, (were) Pop star Rock and Rollers. As far as genres are concerned. Maybe U2 were inspired by the old boy. Every poet is a thief. And U2 were damn sure not the first to recognize that. Friends? I reckon so....

@raymondem2
U2 were NOT too young to write this song...this song was released in 1989, and the members of U2 were all born in 1960 or 61. Also, listen to some music of U2's from the Rattle and Hum era...like scrapheappoet said above, All I Want is You is similar to She's A Mystery to Me. Also check out Angel of Harlem, Slow Dancing, Love Rescue Me, etc...Finally, the credits on your CD probably don't list "U2" as author, because "U2" as a band didn't write the song, Bono and The Edge did. Done.

@raymondem2 U2 did write this song. In fact somewhere on Youtube you can find Bono talking about how this song came about.
