Re: Fluks, Julee Cruise, The Giant, Lynch, Astrology, Astronomy & whatnot

 I started watching Twin Peaks at the end of the first season and then mom brought home Fire Walk With Me. I was hooked! (back on topic)
The song you mention was also in Fire Walk With Me as well and, Laura is listening and crying through the whole thing. The emotion/heartache was completely devastating to me. Needless to say I hunted down anything that had to have with Twin Peaks...including the soundtracks.

Dear Dr. Fluks:
This is one of the most powerful and saddest metaphors (or references) from the twin peaks series: the moment when Julee Cruise (Lynch's favorite female singer) sings at the Roadhouse her unbelieveably beautiful tune, called 'the world spins'. I am just utterly infatuated with this song since the first time i saw this episode. Dale is there listening to Julee, with the Log Lady, the police crew and I guess with Bobby's father also (I forgot his name).At the same moment, Bob/Leland is making another
 victim: Maddie. The giant appears and says : "It is happening again" (x2). After the music's over, the crime's done. The old and almost giant-like waiter, Señor Droolcup, comes to Coop's table and apologizes to him: "I'm so sorry". It is almost impossible not to shed a tear at this moment. Bobby, seated at the balcony on the side of the elderly waiter, almost cries also. So does Donna and James, all at the Roadhouse.
Well, I found a lot of references, symbolic ones, at the lyric to the song. It says something about a 'dog'. And it is almost crystal clear about astrology: 'stones' falling from the sky, 'the world spins', Halley's comet. Maybe that's the missing link to all your interpretations and Lynch's own.

Take a look, the lyrics are pasted below:

The World SpinsWritten by: David Lynch (lyrics), Angelo Badalamenti (music)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 aloneLove
Don't go
 away
Come back this way
Come back and stay
Forever and everPlease stayDust 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 seaLove
Don't go away
Come back this way
Come back and stay
Forever and everThe world spins.
