A towering achievement in vocal pop, showcasing Orbison's unique ability to merge vulnerable, heartbreaking lyricism with operatic grandeur. The track eschews a standard chorus, instead building tremendous emotional tension through a swelling orchestral arrangement that culminates in a remarkable, soaring vocal climax.
