Jonathan Demme's many collaborations with Q Lazzarus took their eeriest turn when he used "Good Horses" in The Silence of the Lambs.
The Big Picture While not as renowned for his taste and integration of popular music as other notable auteurs, Jonathan Demme is one of a kind as a curator of idiosyncratic songs. With an eclectic filmography, ranging from comedies, courtroom dramas, horror-thrillers, concert docs, and historical epics, Demme utilized original scores and soundtracks of pop music. Audiences never knew if the director would aim for mainstream hits or a subversive tune that throws a wrench in a particular scene.
Q Lazzarus, born Diane Luckey, who died in 2022, was forever an enigmatic figure in the music industry. Before she ascended to cult status and subsequently vanished from the public eye in recent years, Q Lazzarus worked as a taxi cab driver to make ends meet in the 1980s. The singer, who sang mournfully and complemented by a pounding snare and somber synths by her backing band, the Resurrection, was viewed as unmarketable in the industry.
"Goodbye Horses" Elevates the Eeriness of 'Silence of the Lambs' Of course, history will prominently remember the song's appearance in Silence of the Lambs. The film, which swept the Academy Awards, is relentlessly spooky and capable of scaring the most unflinching viewers through minimalist filmmaking. Demme never loses sight of the story's genre origins, but Silence of the Lambs possesses an unmistakable heart that fills the narrative with unexpected soulfulness.
