It's like a quest. 21 00:01:23,180 --> 00:01:25,740 When there's no limit, I would ride it all the way. 22 00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:29,580 Ride on away from me... 23 00:01:29,580 --> 00:01:32,860 In this particular race, I hit a sand pit. 24 00:01:32,860 --> 00:01:36,340 The bike came down and broke my ankle. 25 00:01:36,340 --> 00:01:40,060 Roy Orbison didn't easily give way to adversity. 26 00:01:40,060 --> 00:01:41,860 Music came first in his life. 27 00:01:41,860 --> 00:01:45,340 Even with a broken ankle, the show had to go on. 28 00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:51,620 When I fall asleep to dream 29 00:01:51,620 --> 00:01:54,940 My dream's of you... 30 00:01:56,780 --> 00:01:58,540 He was very competitive. 31 00:01:58,540 --> 00:02:04,060 Whatever it was that he was getting into, he would weigh the risk, 32 00:02:04,060 --> 00:02:08,100 and if he didn't think he could win, he may or may not do it. 33 00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:10,620 There was a very driven man underneath there. 34 00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:17,300 What was really distinctive was his enormous dignity. 35 00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:21,980 And I think a lot of sorrow, actually. But underneath. 36 00:02:24,540 --> 00:02:27,340 He could walk through a room, crowded with people, 37 00:02:27,340 --> 00:02:29,740 and no-one would even see him. 38 00:02:29,740 --> 00:02:32,540 He knew a way to find the darkened corners. 39 00:02:32,540 --> 00:02:37,820 He was a man whose eyes you couldn't see. 40 00:02:37,820 --> 00:02:40,980 There was that enigma about him, 41 00:02:40,980 --> 00:02:43,500 that you couldn't see behind the glasses. 42 00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:48,860 He was one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse 43 00:02:48,860 --> 00:02:51,460 of rock and roll, you know? 44 00:02:51,460 --> 00:02:56,420 He had that desolation in his voice, that desolation of Northwest Texas. 45 00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:04,020 Most of the songs I write are from personal experience. 46 00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:06,620 I try to relive something in the past. 47 00:03:08,700 --> 00:03:11,980 If my story is ever really told, 48 00:03:11,980 --> 00:03:16,140 I would include how my parents walked across Oklahoma in the Depression. 49 00:03:16,140 --> 00:03:19,540 Walked all the way, and how they found a cigarette they shared. 50 00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:26,900 When I was young, I would ask my dad about when he was young, 51 00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:30,460 and he explained to me that they lived, more or less, 52 00:03:30,460 --> 00:03:34,500 in the desert. And he lived in a place called Wink, Texas. 53 00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:38,420 And they lived in a shack that had a tin roof, 54 00:03:38,420 --> 00:03:43,220 and he loved to listen to it rain through that tin roof. 55 00:03:46,860 --> 00:03:51,460 That land out there in West Texas is awfully flat. 56 00:03:51,460 --> 00:03:53,980 You know, tumbleweeds 57 00:03:53,980 --> 00:03:56,060 and oil derricks. 58 00:03:56,060 --> 00:04:00,340 That's about the most exciting thing you see rolling through on the wind. 59 00:04:02,420 --> 00:04:06,700 It was so dusty, you could write your name on any surface in the house. 60 00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:15,140 My father gave me my first guitar for my sixth birthday. 61 00:04:15,140 --> 00:04:20,020 I told him I wanted a harmonica, and he said, "How about a guitar?" 62 00:04:20,020 --> 00:04:23,460 I equated size with value, and said, "I'll take the guitar." 63 00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:30,580 In 1943, the War was on, 64 00:04:30,580 --> 00:04:35,580 and a bunch of soldiers came over to my parents' home and played music. 65 00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:39,980 Our boys were leaving home to fight, and more than likely be killed. 66 00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:44,060 When they sang, they sang with all their hearts. 67 00:04:44,060 --> 00:04:47,020 Their level of intensity made a lasting impression. 68 00:04:49,260 --> 00:04:50,940 None of us ever rose out of that. 69 00:04:56,140 --> 00:04:59,300 Oh, give me land, lots of land 70 00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:01,820 Under starry skies above... 71 00:05:01,820 --> 00:05:07,740 During the war, my grandmother worked in the plant making planes. 72 00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:11,020 And I know that my dad had a love of mechanics. 73 00:05:13,180 --> 00:05:17,380 The miracle of flight was something that he was enthralled with. 74 00:05:17,380 --> 00:05:21,780 And he started building simple model aeroplanes from the time 75 00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:24,580 he was five or six, probably when he started playing guitar. 76 00:05:24,580 --> 00:05:27,940 And he kept building model aeroplanes his whole life. 77 00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:36,860 Seeing the aeroplanes made you dream of getting out of your little, 78 00:05:36,860 --> 00:05:40,220 small town onto bigger and better dreams. 79 00:05:42,940 --> 00:05:45,380 Wink, Texas was a rough place, 80 00:05:45,380 --> 00:05:49,980 and inherently people in Texas are brash and loud. 81 00:05:49,980 --> 00:05:52,420 And brag. 82 00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:54,620 And my dad did not have those qualities. 83 00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:04,420 Even as a boy, he had to have the thick glasses early on. 84 00:06:04,420 --> 00:06:09,220 I imagine that caused for some ridicule, you know. 85 00:06:09,220 --> 00:06:13,420 Kids are mean that way. 86 00:06:13,420 --> 00:06:18,180 I think it just, in a way, probably drove him to music. 87 00:06:18,180 --> 00:06:22,260 That was the way he could have an artistic outlet. 88 00:06:22,260 --> 00:06:24,580 And be one of the cool cats. 89 00:06:29,340 --> 00:06:33,060 I learned to love Spanish fandangos and Mexican music. 90 00:06:33,060 --> 00:06:35,020 They were very popular at the time. 91 00:06:43,100 --> 00:06:46,780 My music is a composite of mariachi, country-western and blues. 92 00:06:49,260 --> 00:06:52,700 All of those influences probably settled into one thing, 93 00:06:52,700 --> 00:06:53,740 and I'm the result. 94 00:06:59,620 --> 00:07:04,100 I have a sense that he was Roy Orbison from the time he was 95 00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:05,500 six or seven years old. 96 00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:10,860 Playing the guitar was a good way for him to be different. 97 00:07:10,860 --> 00:07:13,700 I don't know what it is about being an Orbison, 98 00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:16,980 but I've experienced it myself, that we are just a little bit different 99 00:07:16,980 --> 00:07:19,500 and don't really fit entirely into one place. 100 00:07:23,020 --> 00:07:26,860 There are so many ways to be lonely in West Texas. 101 00:07:26,860 --> 00:07:31,140 It was macho guys working in the oil fields, and grease and football, 102 00:07:31,140 --> 00:07:33,740 and all about being a stud. 103 00:07:33,740 --> 00:07:36,020 So I got out of there as quick as I could, 104 00:07:36,020 --> 00:07:39,580 and I resented having to be there. 105 00:07:39,580 --> 00:07:43,420 It was tough as could be, no illusions, no mysteries, 106 00:07:43,420 --> 00:07:45,340 no dreams in Wink. 107 00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:01,460 I had formed a high school band called the Wink Westerners. 108 00:08:01,460 --> 00:08:05,980 But we quickly changed the name to the cooler-sounding Teen Kings. 109 00:08:11,060 --> 00:08:15,180 The Teen Kings were good, but Roy was the one that moved that beat. 110 00:08:15,180 --> 00:08:19,060 They all fell in line with his leadership. 111 00:08:19,060 --> 00:08:22,340 They were really popular, I really liked them. 112 00:08:22,340 --> 00:08:24,180 Very much. 113 00:08:24,180 --> 00:08:26,620 They stood there trembling 114 00:08:26,620 --> 00:08:29,220 And couldn't speak... 115 00:08:29,220 --> 00:08:31,300 I didn't know what the stumbling blocks were, 116 00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:35,660 or how likely you are to succeed at singing, but it didn't matter. 117 00:08:35,660 --> 00:08:38,460 I thought my voice was sort of a wonder. 118 00:08:38,460 --> 00:08:42,580 It was great, and it didn't hurt anybody and it made me feel good. 119 00:08:42,580 --> 00:08:47,020 True love, goodbye... 120 00:08:47,020 --> 00:08:48,980 His appeal was that voice. 121 00:08:50,500 --> 00:08:52,420 Cos he socked it home, man. 122 00:08:52,420 --> 00:08:53,900 There's no doubt about it. 123 00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:59,980 Roy Orbison, he's the only man that Presley said could out-sing him. 124 00:09:01,540 --> 00:09:04,580 Elvis said, "He can out-sing me." 125 00:09:04,580 --> 00:09:09,860 Then they parted, both brokenhearted... 126 00:09:09,860

00:27:55,780 --> 00:27:59,900 Not only did guys not talk about it, but you were not supposed to cry. 416 00:28:01,260 --> 00:28:03,500 So there I was, coming out with Crying 417 00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:06,940 and talking about feelings when the whole age was macho. 418 00:28:09,460 --> 00:28:12,180 I've always gone against the grain. 419 00:28:12,180 --> 00:28:16,700 Crying 420 00:28:16,700

00:28:39,940 He made you cry. 424 00:28:39,940 --> 00:28:43,460 I was one of those kids who got picked on and bullied and all that, 425 00:28:43,460 --> 00:28:45,980 and I stuck up for myself. 426 00:28:45,980 --> 00:28:49,940 But Roy's music just resonated with me. 427 00:28:49,940 --> 00:28:55,300 I was that lonely kid who, you know, 428 00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:58,980 nobody I had an interest in was interested in me. 429 00:28:58,980 --> 00:29:01,700 He speaks for me, he speaks for the lonely. 430 00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:03,620 He speaks for the heartbroken. 431 00:29:04,820 -->

00:29:29,580 I agreed because I would be singing ballads, 437 00:29:29,580 --> 00:29:32,180 and they were singing songs like Twist And Shout, 438 00:29:32,180 --> 00:29:33,740 so it all made sense.
