Music Video of the Day: Falling by Julee Cruise (1990, dir by ????)


Happy Twin Peaks Day!  37 years ago today, FBI Agent Dale Cooper arrived in the town of Twin Peaks to investigate a heinous crime.  Things would never be the same.

Sometimes, only the singer at the local roadhouse seemed to truly understand.

Don’t let yourself be hurt this time
Don’t let yourself be hurt this time

Then I saw your face
Then I saw your smile

The sky is still blue
The clouds come and go
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?

Don’t let yourself be hurt this time
Don’t let yourself be hurt this time

Then your kiss so soft
Then your touch so warm

The stars still shine bright
The mountains still high
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?

Falling
Falling
Are we falling in love?

Falling
Falling
Are we falling in love?

For the record, it’s tempting to credit David Lynch as director of this video, especially since it utilizes scenes from Twin Peaks.  That said, he’s never been officially credited as director and, given how documented his career became online, I have a feeling that, if he was the director, he would have been credited as such.  As an artist and a filmmaker, Lynch understood the importance of being credited for one’s work.  So, for now, this video’s director is listed as unknown.

Enjoy!
