David Lynch 'Imaginary Girl'

B-side to 'Ghost Of Love' single, originally taken from Inland Empire. It's great to hear Lynch really focusing on the potential of music now, like Polish Night Music and The Air Is On Fire, not to mention getting to hear him sing; it's a real treat for the ears.

What album is this on?

[KingOfUm]

@taylortarantino From the soundtrack 'Inland Empire'; it was also released as a b-side to the single 'Ghost Of Love'.

It seems to have bothered you that pointed out blue lack of any vocals from lynch and I guess you can call Sparklehorse pretentious if you feel the need but that word suggests someone thats full of themselves and that is also an arty psuedo intellectual which dosent in any way apply to mark linous. One of the tracks Lynch did on the album sounds the same as the two tracks he did for Inland Empire. And lynch's vocal work and photography is no more pretentious than his films.

@labotamysausagedog If you're going to flat-out say my opinion is wrong, don't be so drawn out about it.

Anyone who wants more songs like this and Ghost Of Love in which david actually sings (that isnt the case with blue bob) you need to check out dark night of the soul by sparklehorse and danger mouse (he did photography for it, for anyone interested in David's work with a still camera). Anyway, it has two tracks on which he does the vocals (Star Eyes (I Cant Catch It) and Dark Night Of The Soul). It would be so great if he did vocals for an entire album with this kind of sound.

@labotamysausagedog I heard a few songs from that album and I pretty much considered to be among the ranks of virtually all other pretentious--I mean Indie--college-kid fair. Personally I think Lynch would be better off steering clear of collaborations; to me they seen to just divert his attention toward anything really substantial; but that's just my opinion, and surely a lonely one.

he should team up with portishead.

it's not pretentious... it's wry.

He has that quality that makes others smack of insufferable pretense, true. But he uses it in such a way, with deliberation and self-conscious amusement, that we realize: Lynch's work, in pretending to be what it's not, is being exactly what it is.

Sort of like that saying about Hollywood, "Behind all that fake tinsel, there's real tinsel."

he reminds me of Nancy Sinatra but I don;t know why too much...

I keep having to remind myself that this isn't Daniel Johnston.

What needs to be understood about David Lynch is that he is a creative visionary, it doesn't matter what art form he works, it will essentially be Lynch. He makes things, creates worlds, what people make of them isn't really the point. Its the journey and not the destination that is important. - The same applies to me.

Check out his song "Speed Roadster" too (I'm sure you have already) it's awesome also!

Thanks for sharing.
