"Running Scared" is a 1961 operatic rock ballad by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson, famously reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Known for its intense, crescendo-building structure without a chorus, the song tells a story of romantic paranoia that culminates in a triumphant high note, often cited as one of Orbison's finest performances. 

I really miss the greatest male singer of all time, Roy Orbison. I love all his songs. He was an emotional singer who could hit all the high and low notes. I hope he doesn't mind me singing what I think is one of his best. Thank you for listening and for your comments.
