Bono has shared his admiration for Roy Orbison's classic song "In Dreams," which he believes breaks the rules of pop music. He first discovered the song while listening to a tape before a concert in 1988. After a performance at Wembley Arena, Bono was surprised to meet Orbison, who praised the show. This encounter led Bono to write "She’s a Mystery to Me," inspired by Orbison's music. Orbison later covered Bono's song, which appeared on his posthumous album, "Mystery Girl." "In Dreams" remains one of Orbison's most popular tracks, reaching No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.
