"You develop these little codes with certain actors or actresses. For me, for example, 'more wind' means 'more mystery.'"
–David Lynch
Presenting a David Lynchian single from Sweet Soubrette, inspired by the famous director’s book Catching the Big Fish, in which he muses on transcendental meditation, intuition, filmmaking, and the creative process.
lyrics
Red lips
Green lawns
And Bobby Vinton’s song
See a lonely ear
Lying in a field
Paint a picture till you can believe it’s real
But you need more wind
More wind, more wind, more wind
And you seek more wind
More wind, more wind, more wind
Better do your work
That’s all you can control
Gotta feed your family but don’t sell your soul
You’re on the threshold
As you wait for more
Someday later you’ll be walking through that door
But you need more wind
More wind, more wind, more wind
And you seek more wind
More wind, more wind, more wind
Don’t fight the darkness
Build a red room of your own
Learn how to unlock it
The wind will tell you if you let it blow
You don’t know the box
And you don’t know the key
But something is unfolding into mystery
Like a rush of air
Brushing against your skin
Is it a secret message
You can smell the jasmine
In the storm that’s rising
On the vast horizon
There are forces wilder
In the world inside you
But you need more wind
More wind, more wind, more wind
And you seek more wind
More wind, more wind, more wind
And you need more wind
More wind, more wind, more wind
And you seek more wind
More wind, more wind, more wind
