“Over the tawdry course of Twin Peaks, the Love Theme climaxes at some peculiar moments: at the discovery of a corpse; when a mother learns of her daughter’s death.

As with Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks is about the difference between superficial appearances and the truth behind them. The music is intended to reinforce the notion that all is not what it seems.”
