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.

Wishin' Well
David Lynch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It happened
It lasted
An' fell
Into a time
And half the time
It went
And it went
Up above
Goin' down
To the wishin' well
The thing
Happened
An' it lasted
And fell
Into a time
Half the time
It went
Below
And it went
Above
You know
I'm going down
You know
I'm going down
Down
To the wishin' well
To the wishin' well
I want it bright
Like
The sun
I know
I'm goin' down
I know
I'm goin' down
Down to
The wishin' well
Wishin' well
I'm going down
Down to
The wishin' well
To the wishin' well
To the wishin' well
Of the wishin' well
David Lynch's Wishin' Well is a haunting and enigmatic song that presents a vividly surreal atmosphere that draws the listener into its mysterious narrative. The lyrics are sparse and fragmented, creating a dreamlike narrative of a character who is going down to the wishing well in search of something bright, like the sun. The thing mentioned in the first verse could be a memory or a feeling that happened, lasted, and then fell into a time. The repetition of the phrase "half the time" reinforces the sense of duality and ambiguity that permeates the song.
It's unclear what the singer is searching for at the wishing well or what they hope to achieve. The wishin' well itself is presented as a mystical place that can transport things up and down, but also as a dangerous place that causes things to fall. The repeated use of the phrase "I'm going down" creates a sense of an irreversible descent, both physically and emotionally. At the same time, the tone of the song is not completely despairing, as the singer still holds on to the hope that they will find something bright at the bottom of the well.
Overall, Wishin' Well is a fascinating exploration of mood and atmosphere that relies on evocative imagery and open-ended symbolism to create a deeply compelling listening experience.
