This is, excuse me, a DAMN fine piece of music.

[@HeyoitGeo]

made my day hahaha

[@mellotron_scratch]

I agree

[@zz77z7z7]

Probably played by Al Regni on the sax, according to Badalamenti: “David said I should compose something that’s more rhythmic than anything we had done before, so we started with [finger] snaps. Those snaps were generated on a very early computer, believe it or not. Then we found a tempo and bass line. The beautiful part about it was when I called the session to record it, a good friend of mine, Al Regni, a saxophone player, was able to record with me. We were in the same college class together. Al was in town doing other recording sessions and I said to him, ‘I gotta do a song that has a really jazzy and bluesy feel to it.’ I laid down a basic track with rhythm, piano, bass, drum, vibes, guitar, and I really needed the saxophone. I had written for Al six or seven bars of the opening motif lines. That’s all Al needed. Right from there, he started improvising, he just went with it. Before you knew it, David said, ‘My god, this is good for The Man From Another Place.’ I owe that all to Al, he played that sax so beautifully.

The ballad of Teresa Banks.

Thinking of you David. This song hits extra hard today. Rest easy...

[@Agos226]

What I love about this movie is it made the comfy loveable town of Twin Peaks feel so lonely and cold the way it did for Laura... this song really captures that.

[@agustinrezza5070]

Probably the best Twin Peaks Theme

[@sonder152]

Yes definitely is. (fun fact an earlier version of the theme appears in season two but with FWWM it really becomes a theme on it's own)

[@lappado]

@@sonder152 Another fun(nier?) fact: The same song appears as "She Would Die for Love" on Julee Cruise's album "The Voice of Love". The trumpet has been replaced with Julee's voice. I vastly prefer the instrumental versions, even though I do like Julee Cruise and what she brought to the Badalamenti/Lynch collaborations.

Lynch + Badalamenti = best soundtracks ever.

[@HauntFreak13]

Fire Walk With Me is a masterpiece, especially the 3.5 hour version, which has so many necessary scenes that shouldn’t have been cut.

[@xyttra]

Is there a version where Official cut and the missing pieces were united?

[@mistermista2927]

@@xyttra There are two; the Q2 edit and the Blue Rose edit. The Blue Rose edit is generally considered better due to it keeping a more consistent tone at the cost of excluding some scenes that weren't in the shooting script, while the Q2 edit includes pretty much everything even if it doesn't fit the movie tonally.

[@xyttra]

@@mistermista2927 I checked out Q2 edit and it's garbage. The dude puts the traffic jam scene, then the scene where Leland talks with Teresa and then the scene in the Auto repair shop which happens right after the traffic jam scene. They're not even seperate scene, merge them together and you get the extended scene but the genius Q2 decided it would be better to stick an irrelevant scene right in the middle.

[@mistermista2927]

@@xyttra The Blue Rose cut does pretty much the same thing, so that must just be how it was in the script.

[@mistermista2927]

@@xyttra Plus iirc the actual released cut of the film has some very short flashbacks to Teresa Banks there anyway so it fits.

[@jeffreybarr2386]

I wish David Lynch would release a Twin Peaks audio boxset. It could include everything from Seasons I-III and FWWM. Plus lots of bonus material (like this sax version of the FWWM theme). I think it would be a lovely tribute to Angelo Badalamenti . 💛

[@j.d.snyder4466]

This has gotta be the greatest sax solo perhaps ever. The sax IMO is the only instrument that can actually talk and it tells a very sad story here.

[@yalfi7585]

I remember: Walking through a very dark road back home.. in a deeply dark night with a shining and brilliant moon.. sinking down into this song. And doubt I could forget it now. That memory now lives with me. It resonates everytime I hear this tune. Thank you sir. You truly are still an inspiration to me. Rest in Peace, Angelo Badalamenti. 2025/01/16: Today, no ideas. I'm lost inside this dream, and I wish to be forgotten. In a way, by being myself I will remember them... One day the sadness will end. RIP David Lynch.

[@chicagonorthcoast]

What a composer Badalamenti was! This dirge captures the desperation and pathos of Laura Palmer and her destruction at the hands of her father. Many people said that you need to view the whole Twin Peaks series to understand Fire, Walk with Me, but it seemed to me that the film stood alone quite well as the story of an innocent young girl destroyed by her parent.

[@TheCalypso]

[@BroodingPsycho]

What a beautiful piece of music

[@valeriechapman1612]

Angelo Badalament Fire Walk with Me. - That saxophonist is absolutely fantastic. I’m in heaven (in a good way) this is what music is all about. It’s definitely ‘slow dance ‘ music. There’s no need for another instrument 🎷 the saxophone does it all the time. I’ll listen to this heavenly music again. You’ll have to scrape me off the ceiling. Ecstatic, is all I can say.

Fans will recognise this as the version playing on the radio in the truck with Ed & Norma late at night, in Fire Walk with Me. One of the missing pieces. Criminally cut from the movie.

I’m convinced “Twin Peaks” is M.F./David Lynch’s attempt to successfully alchemize a work of art/a story in which all the characters can ontologically successfully discover that they are characters in a story created by David Lynch, Lynch casting his son as Mrs. Chalmont’s grandson who’s studying “magic”… unforgettable art

one of the best, as "Red Bats with Teeth" (Lost Highway) is also my favorite. appropriately smooth here for FWWM & yet so chaotic in LH. Badalamenti & Lynch's collaborations are ~ even through music ~ orgasmic symbolism for the most intricate details of Lynch's works ~ brilliant!

This is a very well done, beautiful piece of music and this is a brilliant film. Really makes you see that Twin Peaks wasn’t such a clean town and wasn’t so innocent after all. And that it was Twin Peaks that truly caused Laura’s downfall, not completely her Dad, and not completely Bob, either. Powerful film and powerful piece of music. Makes me feel so sad for the loneliness that Laura suffered and she is a fictional character!

[@7n154]

I accidentally killed myself by alcohol poisoning when I was twenty four. I died and went to the waiting area of purgatory. It was a large place just outside the light. Everyone was a silhouette to eachother. Like shifting shadows. It was a crowded but lonely place. But it wasn't my time and I was sent back. And the angels wouldn't help me anymore so I burst into fire on the return. The nurses said I screamed upon being resuscitated - I howled and writhed in pain so much they strapped me to the rails of the gurney. So yeah, I know what it means to walk with fire. There was no music there but somehow this song reminds me of the feeling there. Sad and lonely but comforting and resolute at the same time. This might not make much sense to you now - but eventually it will.
