I haven't heard "girl" in it so far, which makes it easier for everyone to relate to. hello gorgeous, one thing I like about this song so far is that it is ambiguous.

I do hope the next leak is a ballad, for a number of reasons: 1. His vocals soar the best on these types of songs. 2. He's a heart throb, so he needs a song for the gals (and guys) to swoon over. 3. The mature audience needs a song to make love to (Did I just say that? *ducks for cover*). So, Jive, if you're listening, let's get a taste of that beautiful love song we all know David can knock right out of the park! The song is definitely on repeat for me too, Freo. :)

I do hope the next leak is a ballad, for a number of reasons:

1. His vocals soar the best on these types of songs.
2. He’s a heart throb, so he needs a song for the gals (and guys) to swoon over.
3. The mature audience needs a song to make love to (Did I just say that? *ducks for cover*).

So, Jive, if you’re listening, let’s get a taste of that beautiful love song we all know David can knock right out of the park!

Did he listen to this latest demo and is just so mesmerized & hypnotized that he can't move? Ha! that's really funny cuz ALTNOY has such a cra-zeh beat, you can't help BUT MOVE to it! The ooooh's at the end computer generated??? WHAT? THAT is David's voice, so clear I can FEEL it his voice flow from the song to my heart & soul. Don't get why there was any doubt about this song making it to the album that they needed "feedback", DANG! THIS SHOULD be his NEXT single for sure...oh my heck..unless, I'm out of breath here..THERE'S ANOTHER song that's even betta than the three demos?? What could it be that comes over me?? At times I can't moooove, at times I can Barelyyyyy BREATH... like right now! (Sorry, I had to borrow the lyris from WYSYLM). Has anyone checked on rascal??

But I can see others asking to use the song for their music because the song will be so recognizable and a big hit.

Finally! This is the one! David freakin' nails it! A couple of days ago I was having regrets about not being that excited about the Hands songs. Even though the songs grew on me, I just didn't get the quintessential "David" feel from those songs. I'm pretty sure I said both the Hands songs were probably a couple of the weaker songs on the album, and now, with this one, I'm convinced of it! "A Little Too Not Over You" IS David. It's a song that will have people saying "That's unmistakably David Archuleta!" No one else "makes love to the song," finessing each word like his life depends on it. The runs are fantastic! And I love the way the production highlights his intonations - because that's a big reason David grabs us deep in our souls. If the "leaks" keep getting better one after the other, then keep these leaks coming, Jive! (Don't let the staccato "ohs" at the beginning get to you. Even though those conjure up Boyz 2 Men for me, I still dig 'em!) I wrote this on Snarkies:

I think it's the best of both worlds: has uptempo, but also showcases David's voice like his ballads do best. It's so great to hear his soaring voice. He has a phenomenal voice and I just adore it. I was thinking that it'd be nice to add a more organic feel (and a little less processing) to the guitar strings at the beginning of the song. Other than that, I love the song and it will be amazing if it's a big hit for David. I can also see myself driving to it, windows down, on a country road! I love the song!
