The soundtrack for the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me was composed by Angelo Badalamenti and released on August 7, 1992, by Warner Bros. Records.[5]

The soundtrack includes music by Badalamenti, who had composed and conducted the music on the television series and its original soundtrack. In addition to his instrumental compositions, Fire Walk with Me's soundtrack features vocal accompaniment to Badalamenti's songs by Jimmy Scott and Julee Cruise.[6]

Badalamenti performs vocals on "A Real Indication" and "The Black Dog Runs at Night", two songs by Thought Gang, a musical project between Badalamenti and Lynch. Lynch wrote the lyrics for several of the soundtrack's songs, including "Sycamore Trees", "Questions in a World of Blue", "A Real Indication" and "The Black Dog Runs at Night", and was the soundtrack's producer alongside Badalamenti.[6]
