David DeCoteau (born January 5, 1962, Portland, Oregon) is an American and Canadian film director and producer.
David DeCoteau was born on January 7, 1962 in Portland, Oregon.
He has worked professionally in the movie business since he was 18 years old. He got his start through Roger Corman, who hired him in 1980 as a production assistant at New World Pictures. In 1986, DeCoteau directed and produced his first feature film for Charles Band. He is the founder of Rapid Heart Pictures, where his films include A Talking Cat!?! and the 1313 series. He has said of his working methods, “I always wanted to make what I could sell. So I just promised myself that I would not be set in my ways. If somebody said, ‘Look, we need a horror film, we need a creature feature, we need a Western, we need a period costume drama,’ I was able to put it together pretty quickly.”
DeCoteau has produced and directed more than ninety motion pictures over the past twenty-five years. He resides in British Columbia and Los Angeles.
David (/ˈdeɪvɪd/; Hebrew: דָּוִד, Modern David, Tiberian Dāwîḏ;ISO 259-3 Dawid; Arabic: داوُد Dāwūd; Syriac: ܕܘܝܕ Dawid; Ancient Greek: Δαυίδ; Latin: Davidus, David; Strong's: Daveed) was, according to the Books of Samuel, the second king of the United Kingdom of Israel, and according to the New Testament, an ancestor of Jesus. His life is conventionally dated to c. 1040 – 970 BCE, his reign over Judah c. 1010–970 BCE.
The Books of Samuel, 1 Kings, and 1 Chronicles are the only Old Testament sources of information on David, although the Tel Dan Stele (dated c. 850–835 BCE) contains the phrase בית דוד (bytdwd), read as "House of David", which many scholars confirm to be a likely plausible match to the existence in the mid-9th century BCE of a Judean royal dynasty called the House of David.
Depicted as a valorous warrior of great renown, and a poet and musician credited for composing much of the psalms contained in the Book of Psalms, King David is widely viewed as a righteous and effective king in battle and civil justice. He is described as a man after God's own heart in 1 Samuel 13:14 and Acts 13:22.
This is where it all began
What a piece of work is man
He stands with no spine
And no one else can say to me
It's over now, you changed the sea
Because the passenger is all mine
If you fall and lose it all
Just leave it alone
'Cause if I fall and lose it all
I'll throw the first stone
I tried to get him out of there
I pushed and shoved and pulled his hair
He sat there and stared
Forever and a day it takes
To make me learn from my mistakes
Over and over, I'm not prepared
But misery loves company
When he is here I'm less lonely
Where else can I turn when I'm betrayed?
But worst of all is finding out
Being sure and beyond any doubt
That I am the one who cannot be saved
It breaks my heart to feel it start
He grabs the wheel but now I feel
I'm here with no fear
My oldest friend
Let's not pretend
I'll never listen again
I'll never fall and lose it all
I left it alone
I'll never fall and lose it all
