"LIFE FADES AWAY" - Roy Orbison, Glenn Danzig

[@570lesa]

My father loved Roy, he passed away on Thursday. I found this treasure to play at his funeral. Just beautiful.

[@scottbeater-man3714]

God bless you and your father

[@mattdavis8573]

Beautiful friends. Funny how Roy has brought us all together. We ARE family.✌🏻🙏🏻

[@ronaldmackintosh752]

Wow. Love it

[@jacobsinclair9858]

One of the best things I've read all day, God bless your Dad

[@KeepinItChill]

May your father Rest In Peace, & May the music you both love help to heal you.

Glenn Danzig is one of the great songwriters of our time. Most people won’t recognize this fact because of his chosen genre. But make no mistake, Glenn Danzig is a genius with a pen.

[@rspecial1972]

This song proves your comment. 😉

My brother died 3 years ago and it was his favourite song roy had a great voice I play this song ever week I love you roy and my brother rip both of you

[@seanB81]

Danzig has a preference for heavy, dark music but as a songwriter he really can do it all. Super underrated. Not to mention he’s one of the greatest vocalist as well.

[@starlord1637]

Agreed Glen is a legend like some others he actually made it all the way to the top! what a move 😎

Danzig has done more for rock than he will ever get credit for.

Too bad he's such a douche. Amazing music

nicolas macias Yes. Roy Orbison hits notes Waters dreams of. Olympus on high. Floyd has better songs overall but vocalists don't compare.

[@PunkBocks]

Unfortunate more people don't know about this song. It helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. Thanks to Roy,Glenn, and Rick. Fucking beautiful,man.

[@delhidelirium9091]

Glenn right is under rated at everything ... he´s one of the greatest in punk/post punk darkness (Samhain) / hardrock/ Metal etc ... legend !

[@iamgemini19]

roy orbison and glenn danzig??!!..now that;s a collaboration I would have never guessed!!..but ...bravo!!

[@brianlamaye456]

+notwhile imaround not really all that hard to imagine honestly...prior to this being released in '87 (to me at least) Roy's influence was always there in Danzig's vocals...granted Elvis was a much stronger presence, but Roy definitely was in there too.

[@lunchboxtoothpick3775]

notwhile imaround mind telling me who is who when they sing ?

[@ferox965]

Brian LaMaye I actually find Orbison a stronger presence in Danzig.

[@jussomdude9357]

You know danzig idolizes Roy and elvis...jim morrison

[@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it]

writing skill of orbison + charisma of elvis + voice of morrison and 0 fucks given like morrison = danzig

Why isn’t Glenn in the rock and roll hall of fame yet? Needs to happen...

[@martynapk7691]

Seriously

[@ironskulls8249]

If by some wild chance he ever does there will be 1001 fukn rappers already in, look at the efforts it took to get more deserved bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden in... Sarcasm

[@Lunacyk]

2 ships passing in the night. The HOF committee will continuously overlook him and others like him. Rebels, true to themselves and rock and roll. Glenn will continue not caring about what people and groups have to say about his work. Save for his fans. Myself among them.

[@giznad138]

Pretty sure glenn would turn it down. It's a joke

[@Kabro1]

I agree, to Glen all of thats a circus.

[@Henning1313]

December wind came Roy's way. I was born dec 5th 88 Roy died the next day . I'm happy I got at to share at least 1 day on the same earth as this legend. Wish I could of seen him live.

At midnight I came across this song. Moments before midnight my uncle passed away………… forever in my memory. Rest in peace tío!!

[@forensicdar]

It's a comfort. I'm so sorry for your loss.

[@easygame7955]

One of the GREATEST SONGS!!! That only a few have heard.

[@forensicdar]

I was a teen and heard it in the Less Than Zero soundtrack. It's been something I've turned to a lot since then. It's comforting. And nostalgic now.

[@wnerko7484]

man.well said.danzig went full circle.any more albums hopefully will be primal samhain type stuff.i think he should fake his passing because you know the mainstream money would roll in and he can get the respect and payday he shouldve gotten long ago.he doesnt really give a fuck now but itd be a cool story.especially when he resurfaces

[@Muziekgenot]

Impossible not to love this man. In many ways he's the core and essence of rock. And ... probably the best singer ever. I miss him every day; a great yet humble man, a genius, a true star of a type that doesn't exist anymore.

[@utubeisCensorred]

Roy Orbison knew a good musician. Funny how Rolling Stone and all those mainstream outlets in the early 90's gave Danzig no love.

[@MRptwrench]

I consider myself lucky and enriched to have witnessed the Misfits twice, Samhain several times, and Danzig . . . I lost count. I also consider myself lucky to have grown adult sons who respect and enjoy some of Glenn's music! (Now I get to see what my grandkids think!) To remember how much crap I received from adults, heads/stoners, jocks, preppies(Boehmers they were called, as opposed to us towners) AND EVEN some fellow punks for being a huge fan of Glenn's. "Elvis" and/or "Morrison" were comparisons they attempted to disparage Glenn with! Ha! My standard reply "so 2 legends? that's your putdown?" Later I would smile inside and out when Johnny Cash and Roy Orbison would throw accolades at Glenn. Fuck man, the studio REQUESTED Glenn audition for the role of Wolverine!!! Even some suits from Hollywood offices thought Glenn was the closest thing to a mutant anti-hero! So, in my gray years I can snicker whenever I think of how many haters went at the man's throat, and in some way it's inspiring to see how he's endured and succeeded. In some way it makes me feel fucking great. Fucking Legend, man. 👹👍

[@starlord1637]

Well said man! You know it I have to say if Glen ever sees this comment he would probably totally agree 💯percent I Remember the days we were considered out cast or punk kids totally getting the stink eye by corporate types ect.glen showed the whole Freaking world how no one could stop him from being real and talented he really is a star in his very own universe ,his music still is being discovered and effect on ppl it never faded or went out of style my son likes a couple of his tunes 👍now that's talent and a true original ,there will never ever be another like Glen Danzig 😎

If he was going for a to sir with love feel, he ended up with an In Dreams feel to it.

[@jchristophersmith731]

actually the title track that Glenn sings on the soundtrack sounds just like "To Sir With Love", not this one...as others point out, this borrows freely from "In Dreams"
