Biography by Heather Phares for ALLMUSIC
There are other artists with the same name:
2) An acoustic blues guitarist and songwriter from San Luis Obispo, CA, United States.
3) A Saxophonist born in Los Angeles, CA, United States, currently living in Greece.
4) A jazz musician born in Signal Hill, CA, United States.
2) A native of Southern California, David Lynch grew up near the beach immersed in the surf culture.
He majored in Math at the University of California Santa Barbara and spent a lot of his time in "The Pit" (the audio section of the film department), multi-tracking original songs on quarter inch tape. This led him to a successful career in post-production sound, for which he has already earned an Emmy and 2 Golden Reel awards. He currently works for Warner Bros.
Before settling down with his wife and kids in San Luis Obispo, California, Lynch spent six weeks in Austin, Texas and six weeks in Nashville, Tennessee, while David went after the self imposed goal of 100 live shows.
The new album “DOZEN” by David Lynch and Friends features the fantastic Dobro work of Frank Duncan, and the outstanding Mandolin stylings of Mark Travis. Lighter and more accessible than “Good Wood” (his inspired release of 2001) or “David Lynch” (his self-titled release of 1996), the extra instrumentation gives the brilliant song writing some “get up and go.”
3) David Lynch (born in 1961 in Los Angeles, California, United States) is one of the most respected and accomplished musicians on the contemporary Greek music scene today. Though obviously not of Greek descent, the unique musical language he has developed by submerging his own expressive idiom into that of the Greek musical experience has earned him the reputation as being a musician of extraordinary sensitivity and versatility.
Of Irish and Eastern European ancestry, David was born and raised in Los Angeles. He studied jazz music with James Moody, Charles Lloyd, Ralph Bowen and John Coltrane associate, Garvin Buschell. After receiving various music awards and scholarships, David continued his studies at Dick Grove Music Workshops and began his professional career playing in numerous clubs, studios and with a variety of big bands.
At age 21, his need and desire to broaden his musical and personal horizons brought him to Europe. After an extended period of traveling he settled in Athens, where the environment seemed right for introspection and exploration.
David's insatiable quest for new and creative forms of expression quickly brought him in contact with some of Greece's most outstanding musicians, writers and singers from all parts of the country and from different traditions. David, since, has played on hundreds of albums, numerous movie soundtracks, and has co-founded several bands including The Missing Lynch, Faros, Trio, The David Lynch Project, Iskra, and Human Touch (along with Stavros Lantsias and Yiotis Kiourtsoglou have internationally released recordings).
He has also written music for film, theatre, radio, television and dance. He's played with Arturo Sandoval, Trilok Gurtu, Arild Anderson, Milcho Leviev, Marcus Stockhausen, The Temptations, Barry White and others. Of major importance in David's musical journey was his collaboration with the late traditional clarinettist, Vassilis Soukas. This experience, and its lasting influence, was the crossroad leading David deeper into his own spirit of "Greekness" and his internal "world music".
As a solo artist, David has released three CDs, "Lit'l Song", "Music With a View", and "Wandering Home". The latter featured renowned Irish uilleann piper Davy Spillane and was recorded live at the Athens Concert Hall.
In 2003, along with cellist/multi-instrumentalist Yiorgos Kaloudis, David co-founded the duet "Faros", an innovative duo which creates on-the-spot loops and spontaneous in-depth arrangements. One of David's latest projects of pride was the re-working of the music of the late-great innovator, Manos Hatzidakis. The recording is expected to be released in 2007 with Hatzidakis protege Elly Paspala and guest Blaine Reinenger (Raining Pleasure). David's most recent endeavor is the band "The Missing Lynch" where he appears as singer/songwriter.

The Big Dream
David Lynch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't we draw never fulfill these here
I move nowhere only to find you here
Your deepest hell, never the same as them
Keep me low where the horizon melts
I'm waiting here
We made love
Under a dark moon
I've burned a lot of bridges
Some castles were made of sand
Only then
Can I alone look at the sky my dear
I am not every falling star
Make a wish, it will turn away
So we can love on til infinity
Here
I'm waiting here
Here
I'm waiting here
In David Lynch's song "The Big Dream" we can see the singer waiting for someone, perhaps a lover or a friend. It seems as though he is stuck in place, unable to move from where he is until he finds this person. The lyrics "Can't we draw never fulfill these here, I move nowhere only to find you here" indicate a sense of stagnation and moving specifically to find this one person. The line "Your deepest hell, never the same as them" suggests a deeper connection with the person he is waiting for, as their experience is different from anyone else's.
The imagery in the song is quite dark and suggestive, particularly in the lines "We made love under a dark moon, I've burned a lot of bridges, some castles were made of sand". The singer seems to have a troubled past which he has burned down, including relationships and perhaps even parts of himself. However, despite these struggles, he is still "waiting here" for this person.
The final lines of the song offer a glimmer of hope and a sense of peacefulness. Despite everything else, the singer and the person he is waiting for have a connection that will allow them to "love on til infinity". Overall, "The Big Dream" appears to be a complex song focussed primarily on waiting -- both for someone and for a sense of purpose.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm waiting here
I am in a state of anticipation and expectation
Can't we draw never fulfill these here
We are incapable of achieving our goals here
I move nowhere only to find you here
I do not progress, but I meet you here
Your deepest hell, never the same as them
Your most profound challenges are unlike anyone else's
Keep me low where the horizon melts
Leave me in a lowly position where ground and sky blur
We made love
We engaged in sexual activity
Under a dark moon
During a phase where the moon is not visible
I've burned a lot of bridges
I have ruined many relationships
Some castles were made of sand
Some alliances were destined to fail
Only then
Only under those circumstances
Can I alone look at the sky my dear
I can only gaze at the sky by myself, my love
I am not every falling star
I am not like every other falling star
Make a wish, it will turn away
If you make a wish, it will become unattainable
So we can love on til infinity
Therefore, we can love each other continuously
Here
In this place
I'm waiting here
I am in a state of anticipation and expectation
Here
In this location
I'm waiting here
I am in a state of anticipation and expectation

Such a unique approach in music territories, his vision is so unique and powerful, a great sadness and melancholic feels on every track, it drives me a lot, i cant compare his work to anyone else , it's deeply perfect. Thank you for this .

I was on the bus returning from the night shift two summers ago. A young man sitting next to me offered me his headphones and asked me if I wanted to listen to a song. I said yes and he played this. Now it feels like a dream somehow.
