David Lynch almost directed a video for Kanye West

The visuals around Kanye West’s ‘Yeezus’ weren’t exactly low key. First came a promotional clip re-enacting a famous scene from ‘American Psycho’. Then ‘Bound 2’, all mountains and horses and Kimye. But as it’s turned out, Kanye almost took things to a whole new level by collaborating with David Lynch.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, the ‘Twin Peaks’ director revealed that he almost went behind the lens for ‘Blood On The Leaves’.

“‘Blood on the Leaves’ is one of my favorite songs. It’s great. He’s just ridin’ the wave and not takin’ no for an answer. We almost worked together, but I never got the ideas. I feel I let him down a little bit,” he explained.

“I didn’t come up with any ideas that I thought he would like. Kanye came up to the house one day. Kanye’s a good guy, and a great musician. I loved the song, and that’s what brought us together, but I couldn’t come up with ideas that thrilled either one of us.”

Kanye West is currently putting the finishing touches to a new album, tentatively due out in late 2014.
