Twin Peaks (soundtrack)

Angelo Badalamenti

The music of the American television series Twin Peaks, and its 1992 sequel film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, was composed by Angelo Badalamenti.

Twin Peaks’ co-creator David Lynch penned lyrics for five songs used throughout the series-including “Falling,” “The Nightingale,” “Into the Night,” “Just You” and “Sycamore Trees” - and three songs featured in ‘Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me,’ including “A Real Indication,” “Questions in a World of Blue” and “The Black Dog Runs at Night.”

Julee Cruise, who made cameo appearances in both the series and film, provided vocals for four of Lynch’s and Badalamenti’s collaborations, and jazz vocalist Jimmy Scott performed on “Sycamore Trees.” Three of the series actors, James Marshall, Lara Flynn Boyle and Sheryl Lee, provided vocals for “Just You.”

Twin Peaks’ music has received widespread critical acclaim. The Guardian has said that the original soundtrack “still marks the summit of TV soundtracks” and Allmusic reviewer Stephen Eddins has referred to it as “a model of film music ideally matched to the images and actions it underscores.”

The main theme song to Twin Peaks, composed by Badalamenti, also received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance at the 1991 Grammy Awards.
