The most beautiful voice I have ever heard.

[clarice]

The power. The range. The passion ! I'm sure many people have seen this before
but worth a re-listen

1. She is singing in Spanish, but what is the language

in the subtitles? It looks Eastern European maybe?

Amazing voice.

[clarice]

2. I didn't notice the sub titles until after I posted it. lol ............

It probably wouldn't sound as good in Ukranian.

[Tipperary]

3. No it took me a while to realize that the two did not match up.

I was a bit slow on the uptake. Her voice is really something.

[clarice]

4. it IS !!! I'm an amateur singer...and to be able to pull that song off ac capella ....

Is simply amazing.

[Tipperary]

7. I can't sing at all. Ha.

I would not even dare karaoke.

I do admire those who can sing.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. i think it's Turkish.

[Tipperary]

6. Turkish occurred to me too.

I am fascinated by language so I just wondered.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

9. I'm pretty sure it's Turkish, too n/t

8. I am so with you on this

I love this fuckin' movie like crazy and whenever I watch it I listen to this song over and over. Her voice is incredible - I would say, angelic.

That whole final Club Silencio sequence is absolute perfection. No hay banda.

11. Agreed.

Lynch at his best - and MD is probably his very best - rivals any director I can think of. He and Kurosawa are my all-time favorites. I will watch anything by either of them.

[clarice]

13. Have you ever seen Inland Empire? (I think that's what it it's called)nt

[hifiguy]

15. That's the only Lynch movie I haven't seen

[clarice]

16. A bit hard to find but very MD-ish. worth a peek. nt

[hifiguy]

19. There's a great bio of Lynch

by a film critic named Greg Olson IIRC. six hundred pages but worth the effort. Covers his personal life - and he's appallingly normal in most ways - and had in-depth analysis of all his films. It's called David Lynch: Beautiful Dark.

[clarice]

12. Not to mention...perhaps the hottest girl/girl scene EVER !!! nt

[CrawlingChaos]

23. that's true

Even I, a straight female, have to agree with that.

[hifiguy]

10. She is singing in Spanish.

And hers is just one of the amazing performances in one of my all-time favorite movies.

[clarice]

14. How about "The Cowboy" scene? nt

[hifiguy]

17. Creepy. Really creepy.

Not like that nice cowboy in The Big Lebowski.

[clarice]

18. " No, your not listening, your too busy being a smart-aleck" *shiver* nt

[hifiguy]

20. A dear friend of mine,

who passed in 2013, swore that MD was Lynch's riff on the classic noir "Sunset Blvd.". I think he was right and it is one of DL's favorite movies.

[CrawlingChaos]

25. Interesting

I can definitely see elements of noir in Lynch's films. And echos of the surrealist movement a la Luis Bunuel. It's no wonder I love him so damn much.

Before long this thread will have me re-watching MD tonight.

[CrawlingChaos]

24. god I love that part! (nt)

[elleng]

21. My favorite:

[TuxedoKat]

22. Beautiful

Marilyn Horne is my favorite Carmen.

[UTUSN]

26. Removing doubt in some above posts: It's Spanish. & perfect voice/pitch/whatever. Thanks. n/t

[chknltl]

27. .

Words escape me....they wouldn't/couldn't come close anyway I suspect. It is a great mystery to me why it is that music can have such a profound affect on us.

[kentauros]

28. My two favorite female singers

Unfortunately, Sheila Chandra can't sing any more due to a medical condition that causes severe pain in her mouth (she even has trouble with normal talking.) It's sad because she has one of the clearest singing voices I've heard in a long time.

Azam Ali has been a favorite for a while now, ever since I discovered the group she and her husband formed: Niyaz

[clarice]

29. a short bio om Monty Montgomery. " Cowboy" on Mulholland dr. nt
