  • I cried during this scene when I first watched it. The power of this scene made me feel like I lost someone very dear to me

  • It is scenes like this that make me wish Twin Peaks could have gone on forever. Cooper, Bobby, Donna, it breaks my heart watching them here. I don't think I've seen anything as beautifully sad as Lara Flynn Boyle crying with that song in the background.

  • with swedish subtitles.. uploaded from Sweden I guess?

  • This show was amazing and this song really set the tone for the episode. I cry every time.

  • 8 people dislike this song and don't get Twin Peaks.

  • Just watched the whole series again. The haunting beautiful music. This sad sad scene as we know there's been another murder and nobody could stop it.

  • best thing that happened to television ever, now television is bit boring.

  • what a good track

  • what was up with the waiter? he knew

  • How do they get the dreamy effect on the voice? what micropho settin/ software you have to use? what did they use?

  • @justj99XX lots of reverb

  • I'm glad to say that I listened to Julee Cruises' music without any Twin Peaks influence and can still say say that it was a very enjoyable, memorable experience. When i hear this music now I can still remember what I was thinking at the time i was hearing this album for the first time. Great stuff.

  • I think the series should've ended at this episode. Or maybe an episode or two after. This magically emotional scene lost its power when they dragged on the story too long.

  • @shutterbugblues Not to me

  • Dale, you have failed...

  • my favorite scene I think also best show on broadcast television ever, period.

    

  • From another planet...

    

  • My dog of 17 year just died, this sums up how I feel right now.

  • It is happening...again. It is happening...again.

  • no song, no scene has ever been so affecting...magical,haunting..­..so haunting...the pain

  • @Elepa838

    well said

  • The hair on my arm is standing up on end.

  • They don't make tv like this anymore.

  • Such a beautiful and emotional scene!

  • Amazing movie and music!!!!

  • profound profound profound.

    Was a great message to humanity to wake up to its collective heart.

    priceless.

  • do you think if he hadn't have failed, if he had stopped him, everything would have been different? it seems he had it, his chance to make things right. but he missed the signs and then it all fell apart. the look of reproach on the giants face...

    do you think cooper could have been happy? it feels like this was the moment when it shifted, and they were all grieving that path now lost, their one chance for happiness

  • @knightsintodreams

    Could'nt agree more.

  • Rest in peace, Trish Keenan of Broadcast.

  • Such a powerful haunting scene.

  • don't believe in her lies COOP!!!!

  • so ,,,,

  • how do they all know in their hearts that something really bad is about to happen.

  • whole without ground,be cool and forever free people...

  • I was so annoyed to see this song wasn't on the original soundtrack

  • @zhg0507 The original soundtrack (season 1) was released before this episode from season 2 was shot. The song is included on Julee Cruise's album Floating into the Night.

  • If you have not seen the TV series Twin Peaks before, you will not understand the power of this scene. I think it is perhaps one of the most emotional scenes of the series because not only do the characters in the show share a feeling of devastation (unaware of why) as does the audience, the music also sets the mood. David Lynch (the creater of the show) is a genius for the worlds he creates!

  • @75791 OMG that is such a great assessment of what this particular episode really did mean to the show. It was like the sadness that the entire town felt over Laura's death and those who felt the evil presence in Twin Peaks, culminated in this one evening. Everybody in that town seemed to be either search desperately for what? They were not sure. And the rest were so very sad. Many were both. One of THE best episodes on TV ever! One of the BEST TV series! It raised the bar for TV drama.

  • @75791 I totally agree. The song combines a beautiful tune with such strong emotional power. Yet if you have seen the tv series and know who the characters are, you can feel the total devastation and despair - which was the intention of the director. Somehow it's more devastating than disaster movies such as 2012... Why? Because it IS the end of the world for those people - that's why the girl cannot stop her tears ...and yet, the world spins as if nothing happened at all....

  • wow.. just wow..

  • No words for it. So much.

  • I don't care what anyone else thinks (and I have yet to find anyone who agrees with me), but I personally am convinced that casting Hank Worden as the waiter / room service guy / human form of the alien was a direct reference to "The Searchers."

  • What the fuck is going on?

  • @stonerh you've made a fool of yourself

  • @Iker122 I fear I have.. :(

    But seriously, this is the strangest shit I've ever seen

  • @stonerh if u think this is weird, watch "mulholland drive" or "inland empire". all of david lynch's work is weird.

  • about you

  • @ufounvectordixi about me

  • @ufounvectordixi about everybody

  • "I´m so sorry."

  • ¡¡¡so sad scene...!!!

    yo la vi con 11 años

  • Marvellous song and incredible scene...one of the best soundracks ever...makes me shiver every single time i hear it...

  • Often my mind lives in Twin Peaks subliminally. Especially since i live in a village visually quite like Twin Peaks. I just can´t control crying on many times (at this video about 1:00). Even though the TV-series seems weird. In real life things happen that are seen in the series. Mind´s eyes see things differently than real eyes.

  • allthough season 2 had a few shitparts in it, there will never be a better tv show than twin peaks..

  • This scene broke me into pieces when I watched the series for the first time.

    And the second.And the third time, too.I found myself in every second on this 3 minutes masterpiece, my entire life, never got connected with something that strong before. Thank you,David, thank you for everything you did. Your art shaped a great part of my character.

  • Julie was in the B52's for a short time filling in for Cindy.

    /watch?v=fciaNuDY6uw she is performing with them here the song Hot Pants.

  • q gran serie =)

  • I remember the night this aired. We were all excited to see how the mystery would be revealed, after numerous red herrings and subplots that got sillier, but then we got this episode, directed by Lynch himself. What we DIDN'T expect was for the killer to be revealed in such a brutal and terrifying way, and the deep sadness that followed, seen in this clip. We just sat there after the show ended, feeling like everyone in this scene. Brilliant tv.

  • love twin peaks!

  • The whole scene is probably my favourite in the whole series.

    I love when Donna is miming along to the song to James, it's so sweet.

    And then Maddie's death, which I found to be the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. And then this scene, with everyone knowing something horrible has just happened.

  • The line "I'm so sorry" always gives me shivers.

  • General comment,

    The world spins by me so much stuff to do and i hate to live,because of the emotionaly hurt.Youtube is surrealistic seems like real.

    I love all of Julee Cruise song also the movie to

  • Twin Peaks is greatest and this scene is marvellous

  • It was sad when Maddie died

  • SORRY....

  • The greatest tv scene from the greatest programme ever. So sad.

  • My favourite moment in twin peaks! Moving

  • wait you will die,me also,so 2012

  • I like this scence but the thing that creeps me out and I don't understand is How did the old guy know?? Could someone please explain this??

  • @panther4u25 He is sort of the real-life house for the giant - if you'll notice any time the giant appears, we see the old man first. Kind of how BOB exists inside of Leland, yet seperate. So if the giant knew, then so did the old man.

  • @pocky4040 Yes, although I think Droolcup and the Giant have a different relationship than BOB and Leland. Leland doesn't know anything when BOB's outside him, or he'd do something. I think the Giant plays on Droolcup's senility to allow his host to have more access, since Droolcup won't be able to do anything w/ the information.

  • @elpymppe i agree. the old man knew what the giant knew.

    "i know who you are *thumbs up*"

    "i KNOW who you are. *thumbs up*"

    he really was sorry

  • @knightsintodreams Doesn't the Giant say in the Black Lodge at one point: "One and the same!" while turning into the old waiter?

  • @Ssejhog Yes, the waiter is the giant's host.

  • @panther4u25 The old man and the giant are the same person.

  • Many seem to think it's a great moment. I believe it's the music who plays the biggest part, but to be fair I agree with you. It's combined perfection.

  • Fantastic, just fantastic. My favorite 2-minute moment of the entire series. Brilliant.

  • this scene was so sad, it was as if the whole town and everyone knew that maddie had just been killed.

  • Oh, man!

  • As good as some of the proceeding episodes were, Lynch and co could of ended it all right here and would been a really powerful and emotional way to bow out.

  • "Come back and stay for ever and ever"... I'm still waiting for you after all these years

  • beautiful song

  • Favourite twin peaks scene, cheers for putting this up

  • General comment,Love the song and for me the world spins also into my mind round the boud.

    Sorry for my bad english!

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing footage and music. Thanks so much for putting this together.

  • They are finally about to release series 2 in the UK! Took them long enough!

  • This was for sure, my favourite serie ever!

    I've seen it 3 times ( I bought the dvd's )

    and I always laugh, cry and get scared in the same parts ...

    I love it <3

  • that was the best episode of the show that reveal the killer of Laura Palmer,I wish David Lynch had directed more episodes instead of letting all kind of so so directors make filler episodes epically in season 2

  • Absolutely beautiful. Lynch goes from one extreme to another. While in this scene we go to a sad realization, the preceding scene was dreadful, maybe the scariest scene in Twin Peaks. I adore David Lynch so much :))

  • Giant and old waiter are one person.

  • Beautiful evocative music, as is the whole Twin Peaks score, and pretty much everything I`ve heard from Badalamenti.

  • For me Twin Peaks is beaty.

  • Twin Peaks is the best ever made!

    I still look at all the DVD's.

  • you can't compare x-files with Twin Peaks.They are both good series,but the stories are different.

  • i just finished watching this show tonight my uncle said id like it cause its a weird show like Lost but I think its like a soap opera on acid and i hate soap operas But i love this show wish their could have been another season orr 2

  • It was great show - almost as good as The X Files. Audrey (Sherilyn Fenn) was my favorite character and of course the most beautiful female of Twin Peaks.

  • @ViolaXZ Almost as good as X-Files, very funny :)

  • " Where we're from, the birds sing a pretty song.

    And there's always music in the air "

  • Nothing in television history will ever match up to this scene. It still affects me over 20 years later when I watch this.

  • Yes, absolutely. I feel like I can't watch this sequence without crying.

  • David Lynch has got a avatar-ponytail attached to the avatar-ponytail of my heart

  • I'm such a dork, i realized my honeymoon twas going to be at twin peaks fest. i didn't know i was such a loser.

  • Thats brilliant! Me and my bro are thinking of going. I have always wanted to get wasted at the roadhouse and then nurse my hangover at the Double R lol.

  • I'm so sorry...

  • beautiful and sad.....

  • One of the most beautiful scenes ever. Lynch's direction, the music, actors, everything's perfect and sad. I like also the end titles, we don't see the Laura Palmer photo but Dale Cooper looking up there, with this song.

  • Right, and the poignancy of the surreal connection between the characters who are on the "in": The giant, the Log Lady, the Young folk (Donna and Bobby, in one of the two or three moments we like him), the old Waiter, and Cooper himself.

  • This is my favorite scene in all of television, and maybe movies. Abject HORROR strummed out on guitar and angel singing. It's a shame the post doen't include Julee's last line in the song: "The World Spins." or "As the World Turns." Thanks for posting. It's Lynch.

  • I agree... so beautifull...

  • still gives me the chiffers!

  • the best scene of the whole series!

  • one of the best scenes I've ever seen (including the part of the murder before) in a tv-show or a movie:cruel and soft, dark and magic...thank for posting

  • Love it, love it and love it!

    Twin peaks were the best series ever...untill they solved lara paulmers death.

  • best episode ever. amazing

  • This was one of my favourite scenes in the whole series.

  • such a beautiful hearbreaking/heartwrenching scene...

  • I wish lynch did another tv-serie---oh my god, but can anything be better than twin peaks?

    rethorical question

  • mulholland dr started out as a tv show but was'nt picked up by the networks....that would've been something. TP forever! :)

  • mullholland drive was suppose to be a tv series, but hbo decided against it.

  • #1 Best TV Episode of All-Time. This episode. #14, I think. I remember the first time I watched it, at this scene, my body starting heaving and then crying uncontrollably. Like having tears with convulsions. It was such a deep cry that did not match the light tinge of emotional sadness that I felt. It was an otherworldly feeling to be crying so deeply, yet not have the matching emotion. When I got to this episode and this happened to me, that's when I knew I was in love.. Pure brilliance.

  • The best TV scene ever. Cooper touches his ring finger (around 10 secs), but the Giant has the ring. Love it. The blaring saxophones give me goosebumps. The silent grief in the room: the Log Lady's blank look, Cooper's horror at having failed, Donna's silent sobs, that beautiful shot of Julee lit by red (around 2 mins). And then the fade to red curtains. Nothing can ever beat this scene. Light, sound, colour, editing, atmosphere ... beauty.

  • @chuffnobbler

    I totally agree. This was a very very sad scene, but it was the very best one in Twin Peaks.

  • @chuffnobbler My favorite scene in my favorite show. You are right on all counts. And the horror is that while this terrible thing is happening--"The World Spins." The Log Lady's look, Bobby's, Donna's--as if the world were echoing the tragedy.

  • @chuffnobbler

    I've watched this entire series at least four times (from when I was a small child when it aired on ABC until now), and every time the Giant says "It's happening again!" my heart starts to ache... All the powerful symbolism, the beauty of Julee Cruise's nigh inaudibly melancholy crooning, and the shared despair on everyone's faces that link them all together break me inside every time.

  • Comment removed

  • i don't think Bobby is crying for any specific reason. he's just crying because he feels the grief in the air. there's this great feeling of grief AND forgiveness at that stage in the episode, don't you think?

    they're all sad. Bobby, in an unknowing sort of way, Donna, in an obvious way, and even Cooper, but in a more wise and 'held-back' way, i think.

    any way, it's a beautiful scene, and it always makes me cry.

  • God I love this scene.The music is Perfect.

    I have to admit that for ever I just couldn't get why Bobby was upset (couldn't have been about Laura, he never seemed that broken up about her death, he was all about Shelly..) I guess its one of those - something bad has happened - but nobody knows what sort of scene. Maybe, I don't know. If anyone can explain it to me properly I'd love that!

    Although I got why DONNA was crying. Laura/Harold's suicide - which she freaking caused. Ugh!

  • bobby was crying about his dad and the fact he enerv had a good relationship with him then his dad tells him about the dream he had and how he wanted his son to be happy, when usually his father doesnt show him any ofection. people go to this bar and empathise with the music the whole point is everyone is troubled

  • maybe he is upset after seeing james...they hate each other...

  • Poor Bobby, he sits alone, he has no girl. No wonder even guy like him can feel sad, this song is amazing

  • Я просто оху....ваю от ее голоса!!!!

  • All in this scene is perfect. Lynch is one of the best director of all time.

  • it is happenin again! so sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the best moment my friend

  • This is one the BEST moments/scenes in the Twin Peaks series by far.

  • she was responsible for someones suicide, and could have done more to save laura

  • Il y a des moments de grâce qui nous sont accordés sur cette terre,  Twin Peaks en fait partie.

  • He Is One Of THe GREAt Actors Of The 80 ties !!!

  • I love how Cooper gets merged into the drapes. His mind fails to get conscious about what has happened and falls back into the cloud of consciouslessness..

  • kyle mclaughlin hottttttttttttt!

  • This episode is without a doubt the best of the entire series - every time I see it I get totally captivated... It's fabulous and ingenious in every single way! <3

  • This gives me always shiver.

  • When this aired and the MARK FROST / DAVID LYNCH credit came up I yelled NO!!! - I wanted the episode to continue. It's my favorite of the series.

  • Agreed. Pure genius.

  • I bought all the episodes on video and have been watching one a night, I can't imagine how painful it must have been to wait a whole week to see the next one!

  • In moments such as these, David Lynch is pure genius. Image and sound. Emotion. Terrifying beauty.

    'Twin Peaks' is a great piece of art. And this scene, in particular... It never fails to bring a chill down my spine.

  • The look on Cooper's face when he realize that Bob has struck again is so sad and tragic

  • Angelo Badalamenti composer

  • a very beautiful,Romania.

  • KI ölte meg Lora Palmert???

    "És mindig Szól a zene"

    "A baglyok nem azok amiknek látszanak"

    BORZONGATÓ RITMUSOK

  • Taste like beauty is in the eye and heart of the one who perceives it. Twin Peaks and especially this particular episode is truly beautiful, a serene and sad moment from a compelling and enduring story.

    A story of innocence lost forever...the terrible and ongoing battle between good and evil... while a world spins mindlessly on...

    Hey Coop, your 25 years are almost up! Come back this way and finish the story!

  • Great comment!! Truly! ..................

  • a very beautiful, sad moment.

  • This scene is so unbelievable... real art. I watched this series when I was oh 10 or 11, and it truly blew my mind in all sorts of ways.

    During the entirety of the series, even through all its ups and downs, it was one of those rare moments where you just knew you were witnessing genius. It's just that intangible factor that you just don't see very often.

    There'll never be another you, Twin Peaks. Much love.

  • Ditto! Twin Peaks as the whole series wasn't always perfect but moments like this... Pure genius.

    You just feel an overwhelming magic.

  • Much magic. Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Agent Cooper knew that another had fallen to that ancient evil of the woods that the Bookhouse Boys were sworn to oppose. Am I right?

  • i love twin peaks, i regret everyday more that i finished all episodes... ;(

    ehh, i missed it very much.

  • There are so many, beautiful, wonderful comments on this scene it's hard to think of anything else to say except that I agree with them all. I especially agree with the one about Bobby. Very heartrending. It completes the circle of sadness.

  • Absolutely Haunting!! Makes me want to watch the show all over again. In fact, I think I will!  Who wants to join me?

  • Hey dreamscape1122 above at page one,yes i no and i want to enjoin you.I love the mysterical movie of Twin Peaks

  • I'm joining that!

  • me to !!!

  • Hey, IWANTMYMTV... many thanks for posting this, almost went crazy trying to find this scene.

    The series really was avante-garde.

  • It did get 2 full seasons so I wouldn't say it was canceled quickly. The concept just wasn't sustainable. People didn't want to wait five years for the mystery to be solved so they solved it and then didn't know what to do next.

  • This scene makes me so emotional every time I watch it. You can feel how helpless Coop feels, knowing something is terribly wrong but that he can't do anything about it.

  • Absolutely! The World Spins, or goes on around us, as horror descends. At the end where Coop looks up.... IN the album track, the song ends "The world spins."

    The last flight of hope from the earth.

  • Like many others, I think this is the greatest scene of the series. I was with a girl when I first saw this, a girl I had to leave behind. You can imagine how this really got to me, I was in bits after the credits started rolling. Powerful TV. Viva Mr Lynch!

  • Why wasn't this song on the Twin Peaks Soundtrack?

  • It's such a shame this isn't on the soudtrack. It's Julee Cruise's best song. It's on her album Floating Into The Night. Heartbreaking. Absolutely beautiful.

  • this is happening right after maddie gets killed

    and everyone can sense something is terribly wrong, yet they dont know what

    beautiful
