his memory will always be a blessing.

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

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.

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.
