Sycamore Trees
What a weekend. The last 4 days were absolutely insane. At last I am thankful for this sunny Monday afternoon. I never knew Mondays could feel this good.
They feel a thousand per cent better if you listen to Jimmy Scott singing “Sycamore Trees” from the Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me soundtrack. What an incredible song.
I can’t quite remember what part of the movie that song appears in, but as I tried to remember, dislocated images of David Bowie as a special agent, television static, screams, splashes of blood and a feeling of utter despair and loneliness came over me. That movie (actually, I should really be calling it a film!) was so powerful. It was one of the most chilling pieces of cinema I have ever seen.
How does David Lynch do that?
