The genre of music “blues” has been one that’s withstood the test of time. Blues music is unique in the sense that one truly needs to feel “blue”‚ or down to sing/write a song.

Blue Velvet opens surrealistically with a dream-like/nightmarish introduction to suburbia. Amid the red roses posed against the white picket fence framed by the blue sky dwells a world of voyeurism‚ sadomasochism‚ the American dream‚ and naiveté. Lynch takes no time in getting to the dichotomizing nature of the film. Within the first few minutes‚ the viewer is shown
