She reportedly played Demme her demo, he loved it, and he used the Q Lazzarus song “Candle Goes Away” in his 1986 film Something Wild.
Demme remained loyal to his cab-driving friend. He used the only commercially released single from the band, “Goodbye Horses,” in two movies, 1988’s Married To The Mob and then The Silence Of The Lambs

Q Lazzarus, the singer behind the cult synth pop hit “Goodbye Horses” featured in the 1992 film “The Silence of the Lambs,” died July 29 following a short illness. She was 61.
Her death was formally announced by Jackson Funeral Home in Neptune, New Jersey. Her friend, Eva Aridjis, a filmmaker, confirmed her death to Rolling Stone.
“Over the past three years, Q became one of my closest friends and we were in touch almost daily. Q had one of those life forces that you simply can’t imagine being extinguished or ceasing to exist, because it was so vital and radiant and exuberant,” Aridjis told Rolling Stone.
Lazzarus, whose real name was Diane Luckey, was born Dec. 12, 1960, in Neptune, New Jersey. She began her music career in the 1980s, a period during which she was unable to get a record deal due to racist reactions by record industry scouts who objected to her dreadlocks.
