BONG-747’s new single, “The Big Fish (for David Lynch),” recalls how Lynch’s contributions surpassed more than just cinema. It serves as a loving reminder for Lynch, who taught the rest of us how to perceive artistry and dreams and narrate stories with our own inventions, unfortunately, after his tragic passing. The song now captures the essence of saying goodbye. As the lyrics take effect, they send you on a virtual journey filled with intrigue and longing. It mixes warm surreal moods with electrifying beats, putting in place an energetic atmosphere. The constant yet soft beats create an emotional bond that helps listeners resonate with the song.
Bong-747 seems to have fully understood the philosophy Lynch spoke about, resembling stories with fish: complex, loose, and requiring great patience to capture. The song gives off a feeling of existing in a dream, showcasing the metaphorical point where fantasy and reality meet. It is a string of sounds that represents the marvellous yet odd worlds that Lynch fashioned in his films. While “The Big Fish” may sound soothing, like something you’d expect to hear when riding a ferry at sunset, it serves a far greater purpose beyond mere ambience. Underneath lies an energy, a subtle fierceness that denotes the director’s artistic heart. It aims to remind us how the man known as Lynch never truly accepted mediocrity—he was always on the lookout for the bizarre and deeply unsettling things that make us human.
Although this piece of music was inspired by influential figures and literature, I believe releasing it later makes it much more meaningful. This is a musical piece that serves to honour the man who single-handedly shifted our understanding of the concepts of storytelling, art and life – a simple thank-you letter for all that he did. If you wish to explore Lynch’s work, then you absolutely need to hear this piece of music. And for people unfamiliar with anything from Lynch’s discography, “The Big Fish” may just be the piece that helps you discover his mind-bending universe.
