Julee Cruise's haunting vocals were an integral part of the tragedy that made 'Twin Peaks.'
The iconic dream pop singer Julee Cruise tragically passed away on Friday. Cruise was beloved among film fans for her collaborations with surrealist filmmaker David Lynch and his composer Angelo Badalamenti. The three artists worked in tandem to create unique, unconventional soundtracks. Lynch provided the memerizing visuals and Badalamenti delivered the haunting overtones, but it was Cruise who found the beauty amidst the darkness.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY These themes of tragedy and lost beauty are most evident during a pivotal sequence in the Season 2 episode “Lonely Souls.” Various characters are drawn together at The Roadhouse. As Cooper hears a message from The Giant , the identity of Laura’s killer is finally revealed. Her father, Leland , was possessed by the demonic entity BOB . The truth does not set anyone free; under BOB’s control, Leland murders Laura’s identical cousin, Maddie Ferguson .
Twin Peaks is inspired by classic noir, which put it at odds with virtually every other “procedural” detective series on network television at the time. Lynch wasn’t interested in “moving on” to a new case each week; the procedural structure seemingly provided “closure” to these mysteries, and did not take the time to contemplate the victims’ lives. To “move on” from one murder to another would only normalize it.
“Falling” had been the series’ theme song from the beginning, but “Lonely Souls” was the first time viewers got to hear the full version with lyrics. The critical moment was solidified by Cruise herself, who appears during The Roadhouse sequence in a cameo role. This was the first time that Cruise had acted in the series since the pilot episode.
