david lynch understood on a fundamental level how abusive and exploitative the world is to those with the least power, particularly women and children. he created an entire lifetime's worth of cinematically and narratively groundbreaking work trying to grapple with that hostility and abuse, trying to reconcile the evil that exists in the hearts of everyday men with the goodness he saw there as well. he made survivors of unspeakable trauma feel seen and known in a way that few artists ever have and ever will, and never once shied away from the truth he knew and believed: that we are all innocent, that what has been done to you is not who you are, and even in times of abject despair, there are people who love you, who will not forget you or stop trying to save or defend or avenge you. i don't want that to go without notice. many people are mourning him for different reasons, and i agree, he was one of the greatest and most imaginative artists to ever be given free reign to paint on a cinematic canvas. but first and foremost, david lynch was an artist of enormous empathy, and i think those of us who saw ourselves in his work because of the empathy it afforded us are grieving particularly hard today.

his memory will always be a blessing.

Twin Peaks, s2e1 (1990, dir. David Lynch)

[honeyed-heart]

I can't believe David Lynch is gone. I mean, it's very believable in a factual sense-- he was old, he drank pots of coffee each day, and he spent only about ten years of his entire life not smoking cigarettes. The information isn't surprising. But it's hard to accept the reality that I now live in a world without him in it somewhere. My inner seventeen-year-old always went on half-expecting to meet him someday, even long after I stopped being an avid fan. Now that can never happen, will definitely absolutely never ever happen, and it's the loss of a potential timeline where I get to shake hands with him that hurts.

I could never possibly begin to explain how important Twin Peaks specifically has been for me. A long time ago I read a quote by Charlotte Brontë or Virginia Woolf or someone very clever like that, which said that if you were to read one of Shakespeare’s plays and write an essay about your impressions, then wait a year and do the same thing, and repeat this throughout your life, then you’d eventually end up with an autobiography as filtered through the lens of the story. The story is different each time you read it because YOU are different each time you read it. That is how I feel about Twin Peaks. I miss the person I was when I saw Twin Peaks for the first time. But the story gains so much depth and nuance the older I get. Each time, there are details I never noticed before which resonate powerfully only after I myself have lived through some specific experience. All stories have the potential to do this, but Twin Peaks is such a massive part of my mental landscape and has been since I was seventeen, and I think it is the story I have relived the most often in my adult life. Julee Cruise sings the soundtrack to my soul.

Laura Palmer’s Theme, Angelo Badalamenti. 1990.

MIDI Piano Roll.

Dean Hurley, David Lynch’s music supervisor:

I showed David the photo and I was like, “What does this look like to you?” and he said, “Yeah, twin peaks. What about it?“ And I told him what it was, and he just started shouting, “It’s cosmic! It’s cosmic! It’s cosmic!”

RIP Angelo Badalamenti.
