Just a really good performance of the Twin Peaks theme song on electric guitar

Trying to cover Twin Peaks’ theme song seems like a losing battle. Angelo Badalamenti’s “Falling” is a beautiful track—as haunting, melancholy, and singular as the show itself. Aside from, say, turning the song into an ominous version of “The Loco-motion,” there really isn’t much that can be done to the theme to turn it into something new without it losing its identity in the process.

Or so we thought until hearing Sarah Lipstate (AKA Noveller) playing a solo electric guitar cover that absolutely nails it.

The video sees Lipstate sitting in (an honestly pretty cozy-looking take on) Twin Peaks’ red room while performing an arrangement by Arrigo Martelli on a Jazzmaster. The guitar’s tone and Lipstate’s playing are perfect, capturing the eerie beauty of the song while making it something different enough that it’s exceptional. It’s really great and suitably meditative—until the last few seconds of the video see Lipstate turn into a strobe-lit, white-eyed doppelgänger who shrieks at the camera, of course.
