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!

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.

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

@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....

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.

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.

@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.
