WHY is Twin Peaks so fucking mind-blowingly awesome? And why is it over?? Finally finished it at 5 am this morning, I have been obsessively listening to/thinking about/Youtubing/vibing out on this intense, incredible musical number from the Black Lodge, starring real life jazz legend Jimmy Scott all day -
Written by Lynch and Badalamenti, the vibe on this one is like 80% Nina Simone's "Wild is the Wind," one of my #1 favorite songs/performances EVAR, plus like 20% Lynchian menace and Twin Peaks at its most baroquely nightmarish... Soooooo INTENSE!! The use of strobe lights here is incredible and inspiring, particularly the way it brings out the lyric that titles this blog-post - we're peeking through the strobe at (creepy!) Scott just like the song's narrator glimpses the object of his ominous attention through the branches of the trees. I don't know if I'm ever going to get over this shit for real, wowowowowow -
