the sycamore trees


i've got idea man,
you take me for a walk, 
under the sycamore trees. 
the dark trees that blow, baby.
in the dark trees that blow. 
and i'll see you
and you'll see me. 
and i'll see you in the branches that blow,
in the breeze.
i'll see you, in the trees.
i'll see you, in the trees.
under the sycamore trees.
— little jimmy scott, twin peaks: fire walk with me

the first time i heard this song was when i saw the movie. you can't download it on itunes, but i'm sure its out there somewhere. you can hear the notes escaping from his throat, his vocal chords. you can really feel them passing through flesh and combining with air and making heartbreaking sounds. by heartbreaking, i mean that it makes your heart hurt, not of sadness or joy, but of pure emotion and passion itself. ok.
