David Lynch almost directed the video for Kanye West’s ‘Blood on the Leaves’

A pitch-perfect collaboration that could have been.

In an interview with The Daily Beast, film legend David Lynch says that he almost worked with Kanye West:

Yeah. “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. I was going to do the music video for “Blood on the Leaves,” but it never happened. 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.
