How was this song so popular in the 90s??? Must have been a completely different mindset then, carried away by the strangeness of David Lynch.  Now it just seems painfully self-indulgent, and very sad

Ugh, this song is atrocious...

Blahhh... snooze alert...

Ah!  That fooled me for a few seconds - it is my cell ringtone!  Always loved this brilliant tune and the amazing TV show.

Love hearing this anytime day or night....

What I did on my holidays this year....
 
 

Cooper:  Harry, when Albert finishes up at the Great Northern, we'll meet back
         at the station.  I'm ready to lay the whole thing out.

Truman:  Rocks and bottles?

Cooper:  Chalk and blackboard will be just fine.

Truman:  Jelly donuts?

Cooper:  Harry, that goes without saying.

Yep, it was weird and compelling. I remember seeing it on UK TV a couple of decades back, and I and my friend would religiously tune in, same time, same channel. It strangely mixed standard soap opera with complete surrealism, and was absolutely unique. I watched it again years later after borrowing a VCR box set and it was even better. Most definitely a 'cult' series which you could fall in love with, or hate to bits, or just be scratching your head in bored befuddlement. It reminded me, in its singularity, of the UK cult 60s series The Prisoner, which was similarly experimental and surreal. Neither series would be made these days, I'm sure, as they'd be too much of a risk for TV companies, even ones as innovative as HBO.

As Byronape says, watch it if you can. Get a DVD box set from your local library and set aside a few nights a week to watch it from start to finish.

New shoes! New shoes! Gurgle, dribble, burble... :o)

You are missing out.  The show was fantastic.  It got a little strange toward the end of the second season, but was starting to get itself in order by the end of the season.  Of course, the show left us with a HUGE cliffhanger that was never followed up on.  

Like many things in life, it has to be experienced.  Watch the first episode on Netflix or something and if you don't get into it within the first 20 minutes, turn it off.  Not everyone is going to appreciate it, but those that do love it.

 

Julee Cruise also contributed vocals to Mysteries of Love, the theme song of Lynch's Blue Velvet.

Same here, Aerith's Theme! ;)

This song used to be the last in the daily broadcasting of the best station in my town.The extinct StereoSoul 89.9 FM, Guadalajara, Mexico

Never did see Twin Peaks, for better or worse.  Probably because of that this reminds me of Final Fantasy VII instead!

Oh, I don't think a plot like that would ever work, at least not in the U.S.   Well, maybe if you added a lady who clutched a piece of firewood like a baby..    Then maybe throw in a woman obsessed with silent drape runners, the show might have a chance.   I'm still skeptical.

Nothing  scares me more than a David Lynch movie!   Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, scared the hell out of me! lol

Didn't watch the show, so I've got no connection to it other than it doesn't do a thing for me.

Yes - and not in a good way....

Everybody in my hotel room loves this song...

 

Is it just me or does this song freak anyone else out?

Man, that was a great show.  Nothing like it at the time.
