roy orbison “in the real world”
from: mystery girl, 1989
Released two months following his death in December 1988 from a heart attack, Mystery Girl includes the hit singles "You Got It", which was co-written by Orbison and his Traveling Wilburys bandmates Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty, and "She's a Mystery to Me", written by Bono and The Edge. The album was a critical and commercial success. The song that has stuck with me has been In The Real World. And what a voice!
