Three Demos is a very unique release, featuring the very first demo recordings for
songs from Julee Cruise's initial LP with David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti,
Floating Into the Night.
In 1985, Lynch's obsession with This Mortal Coil's "Song to the Siren" was at a
fever pitch. Wanting to feature the song in Blue Velvet, the rights to the Tim Buckley
cover proved problematic and prohibitively expensive. Lynch had famously
just began working with Angelo Badalamenti, who had been suggested by
producer Fred Caruso to coach Isabella Rossellini with singing "Blue Velvet" for
the film. Faced with the "Song to the Siren" dilemma, Caruso again suggested his
friend Badalamenti as a possible solution, encouraging Lynch himself to pen
lyrics in order to come up with an original alternative for the film. "David reluctantly
agreed to write a lyric, but he thought writing a new song was absolutely
preposterous because 'Song to the Siren' was his favorite song of all time," Badalamenti
says. The result - "Mysteries of Love," sung by Cruise - ended up forging a
rich blueprint for not just one song, but two full-length albums.
