         Subject: SONG TO A SIREN and DAVID LYNCH

     i think i might have posted this earlier, but i don't see the message in
     my sent mail.
             this mortal coil's "song to a siren" will be in the new david
     lynch film "lost highway." it stars bill pullman (who had to learn how to
     play saxophone and will be playing in the movie...4AD recording
     contract???) patricia arquette, balthazar getty, richard pryor, robert
     blake, and others.
             from sight and sound, july...
      Sweeney puts up another sequence, a single shot lasting three-and-a-half
     minutes. It's night. A cabin in the desert is burning ferociously. But
     something isn't quite right. The spare, painfully melancholic strains of
     This Mortal Coil's version of Tim Buckley's "Song to a Siren" accompanies
     the conflagration. It could have been composed for the sequence. But now
     it's clear that the flames are retreating. The sequence has been shot in
     revearse, and the song is ending. The delicate voice of Elisabeth Fraser
     almost whispers its closing promise: "Here I am. Here I am. Waiting to
     hold you." The cabin now stands, completely intact, alone in the dark
     desert. A small light above the door glimmers like a distant beacon.

     Lynch is back... we've been waiting... i can't wait
