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 Line it Curves
David Lynch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get in my car
The way you've been treatin' me baby
Ain't comin' back your way
Savin' my money
For a rainy day
It's rainy, baby
A certain way
Bend back to the start
'cause you're the woman
Who broke my heart
I just won't be comin' home today
Or tomorrow either, baby
Goin' out
In my car
The way you've been treatin' me baby
Ain't comin' back your way
The line it curves
A certain way
Bend back to the start
'cause you're the woman
Who broke my heart
'cause you're the only one
That can mend this heart
The line it curves
A certain way
Bend back to the start
'cause you're the woman
Who broke my heart
'cause you're the only one
That can mend this heart
'cause you're the only one
That can mend this heart
David Lynch's song "The Line it Curves" is a ballad about a man's decision to leave a toxic relationship. In the opening verses, Lynch establishes that the singer of the song has made up his mind to leave his lover. He's going out and getting in his car, determined not to return to his partner who has treated him badly. The line "Savin' my money for a rainy day, it's rainy, baby" suggests that the man is aware of the challenges of starting over, but feels he has no other choice but to leave his partner.
The line that gives the song its title, "The line it curves a certain way, bend back to the start," is a metaphor for the cyclical nature of human relationships. People often repeat the same patterns and make the same mistakes, as if caught in a loop. The singer recognizes that his relationship with his partner has reached a dead end and that he must break the cycle if he wants to find happiness.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Cause you're the woman who broke my heart" several times, emphasizing the importance that the former lover has in the singer's life. The ballad seems to suggest that, even as he's leaving her, he is still reliant on her to heal him. In this sense, the song is a meditation on the complex nature of love and its ability to both harm and heal.

"La línea se curva,
y de cierta manera,
vuelve al principio...
Porque tú eres la mujer quien rompió mi corazón...
Porque eres la única que puede arreglar este corazón...".
