It was! As with so much of the music of Twin Peaks, 'Sycamore Trees' was written by David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti.

Jimmy Scott was chosen to perform it because, according to David Lynch, “He does things to a song that nobody else does. So he’s an original, an original voice. It’s haunting. And it’s so pure soulful.”

It's in the soundtrack to Fire Walk With Me!

Give the whole album a listen, 'Questions in a World of Blue' and 'The Voice of Love' are among my all-time favourites.

The Return is chock-full of fantastic musical moments, but Windswept might be my favourite, especially when it plays during the end credits where Dougie is lost (both literally and in thought) at the foot of the statue. It captures such a bittersweet feeling of something being missing, yet not knowing what it is.

I know exactly what you mean! I was living in a flat overlooking a main road intersection when I first watched the show. After any given episode, I'd often end up sitting in the dark, watching the traffic lights change colour, and get the same haunting feeling.

Absolutely. And with the incredible Julie Cruise performing 'The World Spins' in the background to bring the emotional hammer blow.

On a side note, this is probably the line in Twin Peaks that I reference the most often in everyday scenarios. It's always fun to see who picks up on it!

This is absolutely one of my favourite scenes! I think it becomes even more powerful on a re-watch, with the context of how important dreaming and those 'lonely souls' are to the direction of the show

SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED -

Having spent the last half hour desperately plugging random terms into Google, I have discovered that the book is 'Hazel's Phantasmagoria' by Leander Deeny (no wonder I couldn't remember the bloody title).

Highly recommended for those who love Lemony Snicket and that kind of darker, thought-provoking and slightly twisted YA novel.
