As requested by the poster of this vid, I am here to identify the song playing in the background of the season 2 episode "On the Wings f Love" that plays during the scene in which Cole meets Shelly for the first time. It is called "Wedding Song # 1" and was composed by Angelo Badalamenti. It was only ever released on the amazing Twin Peaks Archive soundtrack (over 200 tracks that had been composed for the series and Fire Walk With Me that had not been previously released on the other official soundtracks. It included a ton of screen used incidental & background music, as well as demo versions, alternate and extended mixes, etc. It was only available through David Lynch's official website at that time... and that site sadly no longer exists. As far as I can tell, the Twin Peaks Archive does not appear to be commercially available anywhere anymore. *sad trombone*

[@HNfilms]

Finally found it! Thank you so much

[@elwoodrose]

@@HNfilmsThanks for posting the video. I loved the trip down memory lane and hearing your thoughts on the episodes.

[@skeezaworkan]

For me the Bob-Leland relationship and history is a metaphor of a kid abused by his neighbor who then became an abuser himself.

[@Choco3101]

iirc was this insinuated in fwwm?

[@skeezaworkan]

@@Choco3101 Leland tells them in TP that Bob was his neighbor when Leland was a kid. He used to throw matches at him, saying "Do you like to play with fire, boy?" And then we know Leland accepted Bob for the rest of his life and was abusing his own daughter. That's a clear metaphor to me. Of course anyone can have their own interpretation.

[@isaacmorton1769]

yeah i really see bob as abuse itself, how leland said laura was strong which i took as her avoiding bob being passed to her, stopping the cycle of abuse

[@ThatGuyCanmanNC]

Was in a Twin Peaks mood, searched up Twin Peaks on youtube to scavenged for videos I have and have not already watched. It is incredibly timing this was released only 2 hours ago, thank you for ranking peak.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

Nice to see another Ben Horne Civil War side-plot appreciator! It's definitely bizarre and some of the imagery is uhhh... Yeah lol. But I just LOVE Beymer's performance and the conclusion of this plot is strangely touching.

[@nilskyproductions]

I never thought my life could improve exponentially in 2 hours. Yet, at the conclusion of this video, I found myself to be a better man than I was at 0:00. Thank you HN films for advancing learning and changing lives, as per.

[@callumfox4755]

good video! definitely some questionable rankings though, I won't be expanding

[@DarthJ1977]

Even better than "I am the FBI", I really love when Cooper tells Bushnell, "hand me one of those sandwiches, would you? I'm starving." It's so Cooper.

[@HNfilms]

Doctor I no longer need this IV

[@hurk735]

finally decided to do one of these with a good show

[@golgiiguy]

This is really measured and honest with good explanation and context. Not my order but well done!

[@Ugitron217]

the phillip jefferie's moment in FWWM was really two much more coherent scenes edited together, both are on The Missing Pieces. phillip talks about a meeting he witnessed of the lodge entities, which is the moment we see in real time. a theory I like for why they're edited together this way is to show phillip's disconnection with our world's time and space/how hard it is for him to convey what he wants to

[@valentinadamvonlinstow1230]

Bro u make The best videos and I love TP! Can’t wait for your next video in 5 months

[@HNfilms]

25 years*

[@weirdguy1495]

Honestly, the random subplots largely out of order are really funny.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one :D

[@Ralster]

Somehow exactly the kind of content I need right now

[@lncasterw1ls0n68]

I just had the idea to make this video and I look it up and you stole it. Glad to see the show getting love keep up the good work

[@HNfilms]

Its something I wanted to make for ages and I figured I better get on it before someone else does

[@rain_down_]

Amazing video - makes you think about your own subjective ranking and also doubles up as a way of seeing how each of the 3 series connect with each other. Can't wait to have another run through The Return.

[@OrobaSpyro]

It's wild that this doesn't have more views, this is as good if not better than the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul rankings. Well, for what it's worth now I really want to watch Twin Peaks again. Thanks HN!

[@a2406]

Outstanding job! Liked & subscribed.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

If you wanna make more Twin Peaks stuff, I'd love to see a character ranking video :)

[@pancito8292]

This is, excuse me, a damn good video

[@sofakinghigh]

This is sublime!!!!!!! I have absolutely loved watching this

[@ksay7649]

excellent, thanks

[@SuperFreakyNana]

Well i guess i have to rewatch Twin Peaks. Amazing video!

[@NeoRetroEntertainment]

I was born in 88 and I was still pretty young at the time it aired so I don't really remember seeing it, but I binged it during lockdown and loved it. At first I didn't enjoy The Return because of the tonal shift and everything, but eventually I started to really enjoy it. Not as much as the first two seasons, but still. Quickly became one of my favorite shows of all time.

[@zanyzander]

Really entertaining

[@lukehope4484]

Legitimately good video surprised it's only got 2K+ views cheers from a fellow twin peaks nerd

[@Ralster]

Really appreciate that you had distinct number formats for the different shows since I haven’t seen The Return yet and don’t want it spoiled!!!

[@Bernbombs-if6dg]

When I watched The Return, we called Evil Coop Dopple-Dale

[@DerHerp]

Bro I just finished watching Twin Peaks for the first time a month ago, fell in love with it, and then you've gone and put this out. Incredibly based. Now do a Sopranos episode ranking and then you are truly a god.

[@jvck2174]

truth

[@Stanzbey69]

Gabagool? Ova hereee

[@NotCushy]

The goat came back

[@SireSalty_]

I finally watched The Return so I could watch this video, looking forward to watching this whole thing!

[@SidPhoenix2211]

French Woman: *sips wine* French Woman: "Mmm. Tres chic! 😘" Gordon Cole: "IT'S A GOOD ONE! 😀"

[@burntbybrighteyes]

Lara Flynn Boyle was Kyle Maclachlans gf at the time and she was extremely jealous of Sherilyn Fenn, so yeah you could say the actresses didn’t get along. Apparently she was angry at the romantic tension between Coop and Audrey and Kyle refused to have his character kiss Audrey because Lara forbade it.

[@zobby3572]

Good video but I don't think it was necessary to do a 2 hour video about your favorite twinks

[@BenLindsay3001]

I always looked at season 2 as 3 different parts. The first part is up to lelands death. The second is up to josies death. And the third and final part is well… to the end

[@lukacunningham342]

HN: “Cooper doesn’t go down with high-schoolers” Me, horrified: *why did you phrased that with annoyance?*

[@DarthRushy]

Agent Cooper looooves coffee...

[@jakeboles5282]

Lets gooo I just watched this show for the first time a few months ago its so peak

[@jeCktHeReal]

as a proper ending to twin peaks the finale must be my favorite of all of them. At the very end, after the electricity shuts down comes the golden scene: Coop getting whispered to while the track plays, called "Dark Space Low". Absolute dread. Something really went wrong there.

[@Nightmarigny]

I love 2.1, but 3.8 is #1 for me. It's the deepest well of this universe's mythology. It may be the greatest episode of any show ever produced.

[@rain_down_]

3.8 is such a one off - it's incredible. It's the most audacious TV episode I've ever seen. Definitely my #1 too.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

After playing Alan Wake II and enjoying all of Remedy's games before that, I figured it was finally time to watch this show and what a ride it was. I'm currently rewatching it for the very first time and I'm trying to take my time with it. The first time around I felt like I maybe rushed things a bit to get to S03 cuz I had heard so many interesting things about it.

[@EJP3076]

What other shows have you seen HN?

[@HNfilms]

The Big Bang Theory

[@jackclaque]

Wow! Thank you for this! The Return moved me in ways no other show has. Twin Peaks as a whole is indeed a special one.

I’d personally put fire walk with me at number 1 with a big gap. It’s lynch’s magnum opus in my opinion.

my favourite episode is the episode where you stop posting

[@tonysoprano6628]

i was not a fan of the return at all tbh, but i agree that part 11 was easily the most enjoyable episode
