The World Spins By Julee Cruise: Live Versions, Covers And More

Julee Cruise ‘s The World Spins , composed by Angelo Badalamenti and written by David Lynch , is arguably one of the most emotional songs on the Twin Peaks soundtrack and will forever send shivers down the spine of every fan, simply because it’s the song that plays right after  that scene.

That scene in season two’s Episode 14  (“Lonely Souls”) where “ it is happening again… ” and we find out who killed Laura Palmer . The giant disappears, leaving Dale Cooper —much like everyone who just witnessed the previous scene— completely floored. The elderly room service waiter from The Great Northern walks up to Coop and says…

I’m so sorry.

That episode aired for the first time 24 years ago tonight, so let’s watch its  final minutes again. Without the horror.

The World Spins (Lyrics by David Lynch)

Moving near the edge at night Dust is dancing in the space A dog and bird are far away The sun comes up and down each day Light and shadow change the walls Halley’s comet’s come and gone The things I touch are made of stone Falling through this night alone

Love Don’t go away Come back this way Come back and stay Forever and ever

Please stay

Dust is dancing in the space A dog and bird are far away The sun comes up and down each day The river flows out to the sea

The world spins.

What's your response to this?

I luv Julee Cruise ! Her voice is seductive, haunting and gentle.

Hi. Good article, as always. But The Company is a 2003 film, not 2013! Bye!

Thanks for spotting the typo!

Lonely Souls was episode 7, not 14, right?

Meaning of The World Spins by Julee Cruise

The World Spins

Julee Cruise

Listen to the full song on Apple Music

"The World Spins" by Julee Cruise is a song that explores themes of longing, love, and the passage of time. The lyrics are filled with imagery and metaphors that create a sense of loneliness and the desire for connection.

In the verses, the speaker describes being on the edge, both physically and emotionally, as they navigate through life. The dust dancing in space symbolizes the vastness and emptiness of the world around them. The dog and bird being far away may represent feelings of isolation and a longing for companionship.

The repetition of the sun rising and setting each day emphasizes the cyclical nature of time, suggesting a monotony or a routine that the speaker may be longing to break free from. The reference to Halley's Comet coming and going could symbolize fleeting moments of wonder and beauty that pass by quickly.

The line "The things I touch are made of stone" suggests a feeling of detachment or numbness, perhaps indicating that the speaker's attempts at finding love and connection have hardened them. Falling through the night alone may represent a sense of aimlessness and searching for meaning.

The chorus expresses a plea for love to not go away and to come back, symbolizing the speaker's longing for love and a desire for it to remain present in their life. The repeated line "Forever and ever, please stay" reflects a deep longing for a lasting and meaningful connection.

The final verse brings back the imagery of dust dancing in space, signifying the constant motion and change of the world. The mention of the river flowing out to the sea represents the passage of time and the transient nature of life.

Overall, "The World Spins" conveys a sense of yearning, isolation, and the desire for love and connection in a world that continues to move forward, indifferent to the individual's personal struggles.
