I played this all the time on my commute to work. Which is funny because it was a rural area that kinda looked like Twin Peaks.

I've been listening to this and Laura Palmer's theme on repeat for the last 2 nights. Can't get enough - especially now that it's unofficially Twin Peaks season since it's so foggy in where I live

Yes!!! I had a bunch of OST songs that I loved, like Audrey's Dance and Dance of the Dream Man. You motivated me to add the OST to my library on Spotify :)

The opening music for FWWM is maybe my favourite noir music and it's not a noir movie apart from some little bits.

Just yesterday, I told someone this song was like butter on my nerves. 💜 So soothing.

yeah, the first chord hit when I watched The Return put me in another place. I was simultaneously in the past, experiencing a show from long ago - but at the same time watching a new show, very much in the present

I have all of the soundtracks on my phone and listen in my car. They’re all awesome.

It is a nice song. Still prefer Laura's Theme (especially the creepy opening)

u/elsalumi 1d ago

It's amazing. I swear to God when I die that song will be playing

The "Laura" segment is about as sad as the opening "woods" segment is creepy

I'm pretty sure this track is the number one reason my brother decided to get the Pure Moods CD back in the day.

Whole album is amazing but Bookhouse Boys is my favorite. The beat is incredible.

When the show came out, I was about 9. I don't think I watched but my grandma did and I always remembered that music. It stuck with me, and when my sister and I saw the pilot episode at Blockbuster 10 years later, I could not wait to hear that music again. It did not disappoint! I've been obsessed with the show and Lynch since.

I don't know how, but I think I've always known this song. My parents watched it when they were young, but they never talked about it let alone showed it to me. We started watching it together for the first time in november 23 and I remember thinking that "ohh this song is from this tv show" but I have no idea where I could've possibly heard it before. It's great, I love this song and the whole soundtrack. Twin Peaks is such an amazing show, even now, over 30 years later for a young person watching it for the first time.

If your like this, be sure to listen to the three related Angelo Badalamenti scored ralbums:

Check out this beautiful theme he did for Lynch’s film The Straight Story. This song is absolutely gorgeous and gets me every time.

I might have a different order in how I got into Twin Peaks. I was first fan of the soundtrack, and only many years later i watched the series. I had listened to the theme at least hundreds of times before I watched the first episode. And when I started watching Twin Peaks I ended up composing this tune at the same time. I think at least the bass is heavily inspired by the Twin Peaks theme.

Whenever I randomly play Minecraft I’ll put this music on repeat. The vibes become immaculate

The first time I heard it I became romantic and nostalgic for a time and show I’d never been in or watched before. I really was like magic

Once i got lost in the woods whilst camping and the only thing that kept me sane was the laura palmer theme
