“Blood on the Leaves” is one of Kanye West’s biggest songs, so it seems a little weird that it never received a music video. However, in a recent interview with The Daily Beast, surrealist filmmaker David Lynch revealed that he almost directed the video for the song himself:
‘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.
After providing his own take on the ice bucket challenge yesterday, it leaves us wondering what he could’ve done with his own spin on a Kanye West video. If he could do something so different with the concept of pouring ice cold water over your head, just imagine what he could have done with the visuals for “Blood on the Leaves.”
