David Lynch on Music

[Alimaria]

IS the person recording this popping popcorn?

[rhombusskullvsteal]

he's a genius

[SakaWannabe]

His right hand is a distraction so you don't notice the guy in the back filming you watching this video.

[stickybelvedere]

his left hand is his penis hand

[wadaledu]

that HANDDD

[OmegaOwA]

I love how his answers are always abstract and obscure, just like his work! :P

[enzobellobello]

Ok, this is my theory: david lynch does not exist. he is an alien. he's just a body attached to his own right hand. the right hand is the creature. his movies are used to kidnap human minds. ù

I'm your slave, fucking genius!

[supermutantify]

amazing fingerwork.

[SinizaMinista]

Watch the camera guy at 1:14! He goes like: "What is this weirdo talking about? I don´t get it. Does anyone?!" And the whole crowd is apparently following every word that comes out of Davids mouth like lemmings. So he turns back, continues doing his job and thinks: "Thank god i never made it to film school."

[kopileegh16]

Is it just me or does that "crackling sound" sound like someone violently blowing the camera?



[newnewly]

when he left the parking lot that day he was blasting Welcome To Planet Motherfucker...for what it's worth. ....perhaps he'll remake Highschool Confidential.

[gibboj94]

"What kind of music do you listen to while you write?"

He doesn't in anyway, shape or form answer this question! But what he has to say is completely epic! I love you, man.

<3

[KleWdSide]

I'd love for Lynch to come to my local Border's. It would make sense since I live in Portland & I know he's fond of the NW. Keep dreaming!

[MattyStevensonBishop]

this guy is so cool.

[coolhamid1]

Who'ds jerking off behind the camera?

[econometricsly]

Fuck use all for paying out his hands. Like Ali and fox, lynch suffers from a rare disease called parkinsons. Would u still pay him out if he had aids???? Just watch his films and listen to his music, and pay yourselfs out if u don't understand them.

[Rhoadhead]

As he slowly hypnotizes you with the constant waggle of his hand, his words creep deeply into your subconscious where it will later grow into the premature form of what we know as self-enlightenment.

[r00key]

recorded on a geiger counter

[Velereux]

That hand is so goddamn distracting

[taylorlambfilms]

I freakin love david lynch. he's brilliant.

[IsaacCruzBenjamin]

@snifxx0 um yeah you said he was trying to hard but i understood him just fine and who the fuck are "you" lol

[brums12]

i fucking love david lynch. he seems like such a nice guy

[IsaacCruzBenjamin]

@snifxx0 he always does that thing with is hand .. were u looking at his hand the whole time or listening to him?

[Dayberry]

I like how he looks around after like......"I vaguely answered that one "

[JoostSibens]

It's only a mattter of time before the definition of 'genius' will be used consistently to refer to this remarkable man.

[KRAFTWERK2K6]

David's invisible Typewriter :)

[backlikevertabrae]

Fucking answer the question

[zippywaite]

His advice inspires me to go do the things I do.

[Dubroar]

his hand movement indicatates the tempo of his mind. every fingermovement is a consideration.

[mundanewarrior]

And you go like that...with your hand.

[osharemind]

OMG. HIS HAND.

[shelooksthroughme]

so what music does he listen to? haha

[gunmomm]

I read the book "Lynch on Lynch" awhile back. Apparently he used to have trouble articulating sentences. I think "Lynchian Handwagalisis" helps him concentrate on his stream of thought. :D I do the same thing, but I touch my hair.

[PowerOfWilliam]

Even in real life, his condition hurts my brain... DAT HAND

[Slevin958]

I'd like to imagine that there is a little girl with a red balloon waving at Sir David, to whom hes waving back.

[13samoht]

Does it really need to be explained? Really?

[BankruptMonopoly]

he is so dang artistic... man... almost to the point of loosing it.

[modestvermin995]

He didn't even answer the question... for some reason I find myself not caring...

[dullath]

@modestvermin995 i know, right?

[eeeewd33]

spirit fingers

[feighnt]

David Lynch - talking about music while playing an invisible flute.

[ariellexblack]

everyone does weird shit when theyre trying to explain real crazy ideas

[SpeakToMe19]

Is someone popping popcorn?

[ronnyim12345]

his wife must love his handjobs.

[encrustanail]

@ronnyim12345 rofl

[rebarbeccatar]

I like watching his fingers when he talks.

[stevemcquark]

So that's a yes?

[theremixphilly]

so What KIND of music does he listen to while writing again? anyone can just say all different kinds

[Malade1213]

there's an annoying fapping sound.... god, what is the camreaman doing?

[autosuggestionband]

Back to the clip: I heartily agree with what he's saying. Sometimes, if you are filming something, a piece of music just *clicks*, even if it wasn't the thing that inspired it, or even if it's not completely musical... It's all context.

@youarenowreadingthis: Lmao, I know. This man is .. indescribable.

You just can't make this stuff up.

[4jonah]

EXCELLENT use of the Chewbacca defense.

[Bezaralian]

Aaaaaand... JAZZ HANDS!

[pazzensutra]

Is it farther to Kansas City, or by bus?

[bavwill]

Well said

[youarenowreadingthis]

I like that he didn't actually answer the question.

[RiVvenGuard]

I love his interpretation about music. I've been trying to describe this feeling for awhile now.

[jairaugustosoares]

His fingers and hand are very expressive.

[Vestu]

He should listen to some Electric Wizard then.

[MarauderU]

fuckin yeah!

[Xdrakemanx]

@Vestu Legitimately psyched right now to see a Wizard reference. Rock on brother. \m/

[TheRealNinjaBaka]

I just love his gesture. Those fingers of his are just awesome!

[MooOinkQuackWoof]

Spirit Fingers!

haha i love david lynch

[redz0791]

what's the guy with the camera doing at 0.30? maybe, he saw david playing with his fingers and had an army flashback.. i dunno.

[jeanvil]

It would be great if David Lynch and neurosis collaborated on a movie.

[angellync]

Halo Thank you for sharing a truth.

Divine Love & HOly Kisses,

Sandra Lynch

CSO, AngelAtGodCentralStation

[JulieWong80]

Wow. What a sensory guy. Look at his eyes clench and his fingers dance.

[Entity1490]

I think his musical tastes has changed a lot over the decades, but overall I think he's a jazzy kind of guy. I really liked the music of Twin Peaks, albeit it's jazz which I haven't really been much of a fan of over the years, the show sort of changed my perspective on that an thus I now love jazz that carries if not a vestige of resemblence to Twin Peaks. It's strange how popular culture can change you like that.

[chucknorris1988]

so what music does he like then....

[WallyWadeMovies]

Seeing his movies, i say Jazz.

[BucksStudent]

He likes metal a lot, these days.

[agreeklove]

So true!!

[gburton]

HIS HAND AHHH especially around :30 when it accidentally intersects/interacts for a short time with the camera man's hand movements

[notdarkyet1997]

Some times I this guy is nothing more than an ironist

and, a damn good one

[djcapture1]

Maybe, but, his stuff is genius!

[cineasta71]

ive seen many D lynch interviews and his hand looks like has its own life floating like a julee cruise song...

[daneboe]

Is someone typing morse code in the background? Fucking annoying.

[Aaathan]

its like memo typing.D

[lanky2822]

LE FALTA UN BRASO?????????

[BoldOriginalFlavor]

get that fucking hand under control, lynch

[HandsUpPantsDown]

his facial expression at the end was so chill

he must've thought "Hell yeah, I'm happy as hell with that answer."

[klaunmaan]

you know he got it from yo moma

[PwnzorBob]

He's producing an epic opera symphony with his hand.

Complete with the epic parts clearly shown.

[leanbean1]

like he's playing the piano

[XxGaloyxX]

His hand is so surreal.

It's like the best trip ever.

[Francosisc]

I thought the hand thing was a joke. But it's REAL MAN!  IT'S REAL!!!

[choco666]

If i was there i would probably run on stage and high five that hand!

[fiveMIRrOrs]

I really wonder if he had some meaning to the show or did he just think it would be a fun thing to do.

[Reishyn]

He's a genius!

But god does he talk with his hands! LOL

[Janko9]

He sure does like the word, "married".

[OuroborosChoked]

In the future, David Lynch will be diagnosed with a condition unique to David Lynch. This condition causes him to raise his hand to shoulder height and waggle it while he talks about his creative process. It will be called Lynchian Handwagalisis.

It will not be considered a very serious condition...

[maniacafrodisiac]

it will also have the positive side effect of many people loving you for it, and all your other quirks.

perfection can only truly be found through imperfection, as it is a concept based on perspective. the timeless paradox always bubbles to the surface in beauty, great art, and the artists who create it. :)

[maniacafrodisiac]

thanks..? you seemed to have removed your comment, but i received it in my email.

i'm glad i'm not alone in that respect.. perfection is imperfection. one person's trash is another person's treasure.

[luvkrafft]

I wonder if it has to do with smoking or drinking, like it's therapy or something.

Keep the hand occupied when not dormant.

:)

[dilps]

@OuroborosChoked Might cause occasional shoulder pain but you will obtain thousands of fans very easilly.

[JoelisRich]

@OuroborosChoked that's possibly the funniest comment i've ever read.

[wereguy2]

@OuroborosChoked +1

[rodrymoya]

@OuroborosChoked I think I have that i gesticulate a lot haha

[braindamagehurts44]

@OuroborosChoked 'Lynchian sign language'

[devourerofbabies]

@OuroborosChoked It will be treated by projecting the image of a flaming roullette table directly onto the back of your retina. It will be administered by a one legged midget prostitute who only walks backwards.

[perleatsworld]

@OuroborosChoked

>implying it's not just Asperger's

[Peterraul77]

patronising..

[Wolviepayne]

I love the Lynch.....

even if he wo'nt friend me on myspace

.....bastard (sarcasm)

[BoondocksOfBoston]

lol, he didn't really answer the question.

[pinballfortress]

oh lol

[Manusturbo]

Are you Frank Black?

[2kool4skewl77]

my love

<3

[bettyfisherman]

the audio is soooo far behind...

[acandycolorednick]

the man is a genious, but i beleive his hand has a mind of its own :]

[behzadaghili]

Excuse me for mentioning this, but it's "genius" not "genious". A classic mistake!

[acandycolorednick]

lol, very well very well

[madlutist]

He's a jeanyous.

[TuMira85]

wow.

[Mystiik]

ziinies

[nakabar]

@acandycolorednick this comment is fantastic

[fluorophoric]

He's brilliant. And hilarious.

[SolomonCaine84]

la mano!!! I crazy for his hand!!

[niceandeasygeorge01]

You do not see what the fuss is about, right? Watch Blue Velvet, then Eraserhead, then the Straight Story. Do not mince this order though. NO NO NO DO NOT MIX!

[jackjiezhang]

i just saw his interview on leno, now this, i really dont see what of him makes my friends go so crazy

[henryhynes]

hmm maybe watch his films?

[kostianix]

love his hand :)

[Niotku]

He completely ignored the question... so typical. xD
