"Having had such a varied music career she often said that the time she spent as a B filling in for Cindy while she was having a family was the happiest time of her performing life." In the early 2000s, Cruise released her first album, for which she wrote all the lyrics and music herself. In 2017, she returned for the third season of the Twin Peaks series. She went on to be signed by Warner Bros. Records and released her first album Floating in the Night. Who was Julee Cruise? Who was Julee Cruise?

Cruise's association with Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti defined her career, providing her with her breakthrough hit, 'Falling.'

She released “The Art of Being a Girl,” her first album of self-penned material, in 2002, then waited nearly a decade to issue “My Secret Life,” a 2011 album produced by DJ Dmitry from Deee-Lite. She would appear onstage and occasionally collaborate in the studio with a host of other musicians — most prominent of these was an appearance on “White People,” the 2004 album by Handsome Boy Modeling School — but new music from her was rare. “Falling,” the vocal variation of Badalamenti’s haunting theme song, became a charting hit in the U.K. and Europe, while “Floating into the Night” turned into a cult hit in the United States. Cruise often appeared on “Twin Peaks,” singing in its biker bar, the Roadhouse, her soft and gentle presence providing a compelling contrast to the roughneck setting. Badalamenti suggested Cruise as the singer for the resulting “Mysteries of Love,” which featured lyrics by Lynch. So it might be a good time to appreciate all the good music she made and remember her as a great musician, great singer, and great human being.” She is at peace.” Grinnan told NPR that Cruise died by suicide, and had struggled with “lupus, depression and alcohol and drug addiction” in the past.

In projects for the director David Lynch, she brought an eerie, otherworldly style to “Falling” and other songs.

In an interview with The Los Angeles Times in 2017, she reflected on her long “Twin Peaks” ride. After “Twin Peaks,” Ms. Cruise made another album with Mr. Lynch and Mr. Badalamenti, “The Voice of Love” (1993). She also continued acting. “It was so much fun to be part of something that just went ba-boom!” she said. “Only Julee Cruise invigorates the show with musical personality,” he wrote. She went to Minneapolis, a good city for theater, and spent several years performing with the Children’s Theater Company there before moving to New York in about 1983. Ms. Cruise appeared in the pilot and subsequent episodes as a roadhouse singer. She replaced Cindy Wilson, an original member, when Ms. Wilson took a break from the band. Mr. Lynch and Mr. Badalamenti had written a song for the film that needed a vocalist. Angelo was doing the music for the show, and we became friends.” Ms. Cruise was one of two acts summoned to replace her. One writer called her style “angel-on-Quaaludes vocals.” Her husband, Edward Grinnan, said the cause was suicide.

In addition to singing, Cruise was also a Broadway actress, a pilot and a dog trainer. It was "the happiest time of her performing life," Grinnan writes in his post. The result of their collaboration was the original track " Mysteries of Love," in which Cruise's dreamlike vocals are set to a slow-moving fog of romantic synths and strings. The songs with Julee serve a two-fold purpose: They contrast the visuals and they set the tone for the show." "You would never have that kind of song in a place like that. She would return for the series' later incarnations, the feature film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me and the 2017 limited series Twin Peaks: The Return.

Often reflecting the sentiment of the show’s current mood, Cruise’s music can be romantic, joyous and even triumphant, but a through-line from ‘Falling’ to ‘Mysteries of Love’ is a yearning for something ethereal, be it love, kinship or success. Equally joyous and deeply heart-wrenching, Lynch spins the emotional resonance of the initially romantic scene on its head, using Julee Cruise’s haunting vocals in order to do so. This strange world is scored by the beautiful ambience of Julee Cruise’s ethereal vocals, scattered throughout several key moments of the series as her audible and physical presence becomes something of a divine presence.
