    • @vincentjohnflorio
      @vincentjohnflorio 3 года назад +33

      Yeah I would have figured it was more purposeful and nerdy and dry music-theory kind of composition but I guess he's on a level where that's baked in naturally.
      Also it's funny that David said "That's Twin Peaks" because that sad-then-bright-then-sad is sort of the way you feel across it.

    I love how this song represents the duality of Laura. In the begining we can feel the mood of Laura in the woods at night and perceive the darkness from her soul, later we get closer to the climax and we understand where all the pain and sorrow comes from, then the climax resolves beautifully, just like Laura, because after all she was just a beautiful girl whose life was tacken away.

    This masterpiece tells the whole story itself.

This sort of feeling that made you wish the horror you/she witnessed was just a dark nightmare.

    Angelo was meant to bring this mood, this score to life. Pure magic. No one around who cannot envision the owls lurking on dead branches in the woods, turning their heads. Laura‘s eyes so beautiful and sad when she was in the woods. This is art. Nothing short of art.

    Visionary master artists feel their art more than anything, and they are able to feel who is right to work with. They know how to create, to guide and to let go. It's a dance, it's chase, it's a search. Beautiful!

    Не умер, а ушел в вигвам. Спасибо за вечную музыку к шедеврам Линча. Falling в сердце на всю жизнь, правда там пела Джулия Круз, которая тоже не так давно ушла от нас.
    На той стороне играет отличная музыка.
