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!
Song of the Day: I Dreamed I Saw Jack Nance Last Night by Dumb Numbers
Eraserhead (1977, dir by David Lynch)
Today would have been the 82nd birthday of Jack Nance, the talented but troubled actor who was a favorite of David Lynch’s and who died under mysterious circumstances in 1996. Born in Massachusetts but raised in Texas, Nance first won acclaim as a star of the stage show, Tom Paine. The director of Tom Paine later received a fellowship to the American Film Institute where he met a young director named David Lynch and recommended that Lynch cast Nance as the lead character in his film, Eraserhead. Lynch and Nance were kindred spirits, two all-American eccentrics with their own unique view of the world. Lynch went to use Nance in almost every film that he made up until Nance’s death. Nance would also appear in small roles in films from other directors, usually cast as quirky and obsessive characters. Outside of his role in Eraserhead, Nance is probably best known for playing Pete Martell on Twin Peaks. Pete’s discovery of Laura Palmer’s body launched the entire saga.
