Free Music Notes for Blue Velvet: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: THE MYSTERIES OF LOVE
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of the most cherished cd's I own. I usually put it on and listen to the last three songs before listening to the rest of the album. The rest of the soundtrack is terrific especially the instrumental theme track, "Blue Velvet" and the Twin Peaks-like music in "Lumberton, U.S.A.", the small town where Blue Velvet takes place in. I would have loved it if Bobby Vinton's original version of "Blue Velvet" were included which was the inspiration for the film and was the song in the opening sequence and Main Titles, but instead we get Isabella Rosselini's version when she sings at a nightclub. I liked Rosselini's version too but it was somehow cut short to only a minute long. The soundtrack is entirely instrumental until track #12. The strength of the cd really comes in full force at the end when Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" takes you back to the scene of the unforgettable lip-synching by Dean Stockwell. It's a classic Lynch moment. Following this is Ketty Lester's "Love Letters", an absolutely gorgeous slow song played when Jeffrey Beaumont finds the man with the missing ear killed in the apartment of madman Frank Booth. The soundtrack ends with Julee Cruise's "Mysteries Of Love," an ethereal dream-like love song played at the end of the film in the unforgettable scene when Dorothy Vallens becomes reunited with her long lost son.
Blue Velvet: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Poster
Beautiful and strange the score to David Lynch's Blue Velvet is a staggering surrealist's nightmare told with the heart of a saint. Dense orchestrations float along whispers of dark unnerving melodies; an astounding sense of menace coils inside even the most reassuring of moments. This marked the first collaboration between Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti and its fusion of the sublime and the dangerous is breathtaking. There are Bernard Herrmann violin slashes revisited classics (Roy Orbison's 'In Dreams ' Bobby Vinton's title track) and the peak of the whole experience 'Mysteries of Love.' This Mortal Coil turned down requests to use their beloved version of 'Song to the Siren ' but Badalamenti manages to construct a piece of such simplicity of such beauty that you wonder why a composer didn't create it before in the first place. Brutally compelling like one of Jeffrey Beaumont's own mysteries this is an extraordinary experience filled with both fear and love. ~ Dean CarlsonOriginal music written and conducted by Angelo Badalamenti.Pop Music CDs
