ABOUT THIS AUTHOR
Are we excited or what?!
Can’t wait to hear BROKEN
Let’s check out the originals of these covers
BEAUTIFUL by CA
[Spoken] Don’t look at me
Every day is so wonderful
Then suddenly, it’s hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I’m so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring me down… Oh no
So don’t you bring me down today
To all your friends you’re delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone
That’s the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring you down, oh, no
So don’t you bring me down today…
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(no matter what we say)
We’re the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
(and everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(sun will always shine)
And tomorrow we might wake on the other side
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won’t bring us down
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring us down, oh, no
So don’t you bring me down today
Oh, yeah, don’t you bring me down today, yeah
Don’t you bring me down ooh… today
BOTC by Simon & Garfunkel
When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I’m on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I’ll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
PRIDE (In the Name of Love) by U2
This one is by John Legend
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come here to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love!
One man in the name of love
In the name of love!
What more? In the name of love!
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resists
One man washed on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more? In the name of love!
…nobody like you…there’s nobody like you…
Mmm…mmm…mmm…
Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love…
TRUE COLORS by Cyndi Lauper
and this one is a cover by Phil Collins
You with the sad eyes
Don’t be discouraged
Oh I realize
Its hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don’t be unhappy, can’t remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there
And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
(When I last saw you laughing)
If this world makes you crazy
And you’ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there
And I’ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don’t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
EVERYBODY HURTS by R.E.M.
When your day is long and the night
The night is yours alone
When you’re sure you’ve had enough of this life, well hang on
Don’t let yourself go
Everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it’s time to sing along
When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (hold on)
When you think you’ve had too much of this life, well hang on
Everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts
Don’t throw your hand. Oh, no
Don’t throw your hand
If you feel like you’re alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you’re on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you’ve had too much of this life to hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes
So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
(Hold on, hold on)
Everybody hurts
You are not alone
ANGEL BY Sarah McLachlan
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance,
For a break that would make it okay.
There’s always some reason
To feel not good enough,
And it’s hard, at the end of the day.
I need some distraction,
Oh, beautiful release.
Memories seep from my veins.
Let me be empty,
Oh, and weightless,
And maybe I’ll find some peace tonight.
[Chorus]
In the arms of the angel,
Fly away from here,
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear.
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie.
You’re in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here.
So tired of the straight line,
And everywhere you turn,
There’s vultures and thieves at your back.
The storm keeps on twisting.
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack.
It don’t make no difference,
Escape one last time.
It’s easier to believe in this sweet madness,
Oh, this glorious sadness,
That brings me to my knees.
[Chorus]
You’re in the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here.
DON’T GIVE UP by Peter Gabriel
by Pink and John Legend
in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose
don’t give up
‘cos you have friends
don’t give up
you’re not beaten yet
don’t give up
I know you can make it good
though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we’d be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn
drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground
don’t give up
you still have us
don’t give up
we don’t need much of anything
don’t give up
’cause somewhere there’s a place
where we belong
rest your head
you worry too much
it’s going to be alright
when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don’t give up
please don’t give up
‘got to walk out of here
I can’t take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river’s flowing
that river’s flowing
moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs
don’t give up
’cause you have friends
don’t give up
you’re not the only one
don’t give up
no reason to be ashamed
don’t give up
you still have us
don’t give up now
we’re proud of who you are
don’t give up
you know it’s never been easy
don’t give up
’cause I believe there’s the a place
there’s a place where we belong
SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW by Keane
This one is an acoustic rendition by Lifehouse
This one is from DA’s favorite, Natasha Bedingfield
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river, and it made me complete
[Chorus]
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I’m getting old, and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I’ve been dreaming of?
[Chorus]
And if you have a minute, why don’t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go
Somewhere only we know?
[Chorus]
And if you have a minute, why don’t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go?
So why don’t we go?
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know?
And of course -- BSMS performed by DA
by Catharina von Schlegel, 1697-?
Translated by Jane Borthwick, 1813-1897
1. Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly, Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2. Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
3. Be still, my soul, though dearest friends depart
And all is darkened in the vale of tears;
Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
Who comes to soothe thy sorrows and thy fears.
Be still, my soul; thy Jesus can repay
From His own fulness all He takes away.
4. Be still, my soul; the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
You Rock JR!! Not ony do we get a Track List but the You tubes too!! ! Love it all!! Very Inspirational!! David is AMAZING AND SO GOOD TO US!
I also cannot wait to hear David cover Angel by Sarah M.
That will be something. SIGH
NEW PIC relased by @MannheimSteam
Chip and David Archuleta!!! http://ow.ly/i/GMXS #mannheimsteamroller #davidarchuleta
Leaked scenes from a possible MV
http://ohmyheckdavidarchie.tumblr.com/post/24951473944/rainbow-music-video-preview-music-is-different
I cried when first heard him sing BE STILL MY SOUL. It touched me so deeply. I don’t know how to describe the connection I’ve had when he sang it. It’s like I feel the kindness and pureness of his heart. He is really an Angel singing beautiful songs that touches everyone.
I’m proud to be his fan and will be a fan forever.
God Bless him always….
OMG -- I’m spazzing. No time to listen to all these originals, but you can bet I’ll be back tonight to do just that! Thanks, JR!
GAH!
SPAZZING!#*&%@$!!! Come-on August!
Trust TheArchuletor to thrill us while he is miles away from us, LOL!
Sneaking a little listen to some of these songs, it is evident that this IS a new Beginning for David. These are not the usual DA kinds of songs. These are a new, deeper, more mature set of songs from David. I can’t wait to hear “Broken” and see what that sounds like.
And I know it says Inspirational, but these are not what one would expect from that genre. These are more than that -- they transcend the religious connotation of that and bridge the gap across religions and beliefs.
I think we are in for something really, really new from David when he returns.
Marlie…get chills just thinking about it.
Thanks JR for putting them all nicely in row
OMG did you see the “BEGIN” album cover? He is GORGEOUS!!!
Love it…:) Can’t wait to get the Album….
Marlie -- Completely agree with you. Well said.
I want to hear “BROKEN” David’s original composition. I wonder how it sound.
OMJOSH!! this is so exciting. He’s really full of surprises to his fans although he is away. He promised he will not leave us without anything for the next 2 years and he’s away for nearly 4 months and we have MV “I’ll Never Go”, “BEGIN” Album in August and not to forget his mini-series “Nandito Ako” and surely more to come….
He is truly, truly AMAZING SINGER/ARTIST I’ve known….
From the Mothership:
CONNIE -- posted a photo w/ better resolution & elnlarged -- check above
Well said Marlie
When he returns, David will be lethal. God help us!
I’ve wanted David to release an album of classics (of any musical genre) for a while now. Can’t wait!
I also added the album cover on TDC’s frontpage

David Archuleta – BEGIN – Track List and Album Cover
By mj On 06/12/2012
Just because David Archuleta is in Chile on a Mormon mission, does not mean he’s completely disappeared. On August 7, Begin, an album of covers David recorded before he left the United States for his two year mission, will be released.
Check out the track list below.
According to press notes, the album was “created to musically portray” David’s “connection to God.” The album ends with “Broken,” as song David wrote.
Beautiful (Christina Aguilera)
Bridge Over Trouble Water (Simon and Garfunkel)
Pride (In the Name of Love) (U2)
True Colors (Cyndi Lauper)
Everybody Hurts (R.E.M.)
Be Still, My Soul (Sibelius)
Angel (Sarah McLachlan)
Don’t Give Up (Peter Gabriel)
Somewhere Only We Can Know (Keane)
Broken (David original)
You may want to drop a comment or two @ MJ’s
You know, it would be interesting to hear David sing Beautiful. Given his insecurities about his looks and now refer to himself as “beautiful”, that would something
Wow I love the enlarge album cover above.
It takes me a while before I scroll down. Hahaha
Love all the songs in the tracklists especially Bridge Over Troubled Water and Be Still My Soul. After the full of love songs in “Forevermore” album, now, in his upcoming album BEGIN is full of Inspirational songs. Gosh, David is really an amazing young man.
Can’t wait to hear his original composition “BROKEN”.
I remembered the quote “Life is meant to be BROKEN and shared”. It resembles much of Christ, like the symbolic representation of breaking down of bread in Holy Eucharist, to be shared by all. That’s how David did in Chile, he shares his life there and proclaim the gospel of God. Truly you are an angel David.
Oh RUBI -- that is such an incredible interpretation & application of BROKEN. I think you nailed it!
Cos I have been thinking about how David could write about Broken in a positive and personal sense and what you wrote is truly inspiring and very apt wrt David’s current status.
Thank you for sharing that!
A lot of fans are a bit unbalanced by David’s face in the BEGIN. cd cover. Some say something is off
I think it’s the hair -- the hairline to be specific…
Thanks Rubi for your take on Broken and the meaning.
Don’t have any problem with photo or hair. Kari says the Photo was taken by Russ and Katie Moore designed the cover. Katie said the photo is not Photoshopped and that David was looking into the light for that effect.
The Majority of comments have been positive. The few negatives relate to the Eyes.
A few disappointed because they had a preconceived idea of the picture which they thought should depict BEGIN.
David is gorgeus and Growing Up!! Thanks for all the updates!!
All in all it is a good picture. Much better than the Christmas CD.
The OS announces the official tracklist --
http://davidarchuleta.com/home/?p=4460
MARLIE -- I think even any of his random pix by fans is better than the Christmas cover, LOL
The CFTH cd is what you call substance over form!
In any case, others, and I think esp those who have not seen David for a while, thinks it doesn’t look like David.
Peeps should refer to his Bench photos so they can see the “resemblance”

Cindy #DA2014 @CanadianArchie
@kariontour do you have a favorite on BEGIN.??? I’m sure he knocked all the songs out of the park!!!
Kari Sellards @kariontour
@CanadianArchie Hard to say. They are all amazing. Cannot wait for you all to hear them.
Bonnie @archftw
@kariontour Does @DavidArchie play piano on any songs on BEGIN.?
Kari Sellards @kariontour
@archftw @DavidArchie yes he does.
Maureen_#DA2014 @Maureen_abms
@kariontour Is an orchestra used in any of the songs on BEGIN.?
Kari Sellards @kariontour
@Maureen_abms yes, on a few of the songs.
The label that will carry BEGIN. is asking — So who is excited?

David Archuleta To Release Begin August 7th
David Archuleta may be on his Mormon mission for the next 2 years, but he is still going drop a new album! Begin was recorded before he went away on his mission and will be released on August 7th. While no tour will happen, he has been keeping fans updated via his manager and pre-recorded videos for his fans. No track listing was given as of yet. It will feature his new single “I’ll Never Go”, which is a good choice when you consider his current trip. This will also mark his 5th album since he was voted off of American Idol. His last album was Forevermore, which was released this years in the Philippines.
I am so happy that he carefully planned out his career while he was gone. It was a great gift and helps to keep him in the attention of the media while he is doing some serious good. I have no doubt that we can expect amazing music from it. It may even be even more passionate since he knew that he would be disconnected away from his fans for as long. I personally cannot wait to see what it will have and what his songs will be like off it. I think we can all agree that it will hold a lot of love that he has for his fan base. In a way, it was his going away gift to his fans and thus I am sure he treats it more special than his normal releases.

10 – Be Still My Soul
David said earlier the album would focus on inspirational music, and that’s certainly the case.
I’ll be particularly interested in hearing his versions of “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and “True Colors.”
With his vocal skills, he has the capability to make both songs special.
The album is due out Aug. 7. No word yet that I can find on when pre-orders will begin.
But if you head to David’s website, you’ll also find a snippet of the video for “I’ll Never Go,” a song he recorded for “forevermore,” his album of Filipino music.

Hi JR and Marlie,
Thank you very much for your hard work to keep this site. JR, especial thank for organizing all the youtube files too. Have to delurk at this exciting time to comment on BEGIN.
It is unbelievable and amazing that David, a 21-yr young man, picked songs to cover every decade, from 1970 to 2000. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw the track list. I’ve been a music junky since I was in the middle school. Believe or not, I have the CDs where the original tracks came from, but I have to admit my son gave me 2004 Keane’s CD with “Somewhere Only We know”. David must have excellent memory and organized to be able to pick these inspiration songs from thousands of good songs.
1 – Beautiful (Christina Aguilera 2002)
2 – Somewhere Only We Know (Keane 2004)
3 – Everybody Hurts (R.E.M. 1993)
4 – Don’t Give Up (Peter Grabriel, 1995)
5 – Angel (Sarah McLachlan 1998)
6 – Bridge Over Troubled Water (Simon & Garfunkel 1970)
7 – Broken
8 – True Colors (Cyndi Lauper 1986)
9 – Pride (In The Name Of Love) (U2 1984)
10 – Be Still My Soul
Quiteblanc
Sorry the track list was duplicated. JR, please delete one if possible.
quiteblanc -- good to see you! I agree, that song list is “inspired.” David has always made himself aware of all genres, music fro various years (decades!) and I can’t wait to hear that gorgeous voice singing these special selections.
Mika @frozenat17
David Archuleta’s Forevermore is now certified Gold!
JR How many albums does it take to be Certified Gold in the Phillipines??
I know it is 500,000 here in the US.
In Manila, I think it is 10,000 copies
BuddyTV features ‘American Idol’ Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary and look at the picture they used
http://www.buddytv.com/articles/american-idol/american-idol-celebrates-its-1-46078.aspx
Wow! That seems low for all the Charting on Myx and International Sales. What are you thoughts JR??
The measurement is not standardized worldwide and largely depends on the market size.Gold status used to be pegged at 20k but it was lowered considering the piracy issues prevalent in the Philippines plus all the file sharing, downloading and streaming opportunities that internet offers.
The charting on MYX is not directly related to sales. But it is good exposure and keeps David and his music in the news.
You also have to consider that since these are remakes, the international market would be more excited than Manila cos for you guys there, these are new tunes. More importantly, David isn’t around to promote it. So the gold record award is good news!
What is even better is that with the gold status, Forevermore is now officially considered both a commercial and critical success. The reviews had been great that even the original singers and composers/arrangers have given their kudos to David’s efforts.
Lastly, it also does not mean it just sold 10K. It could be closer to 20k -- platinum status, who knows?
One more thing: the big jump is sales for online happened for the single Forevermore & Nandito Ako. Remember that it took a while for the whole album to be available for download.
We were gifting the 8 songs initially and those sales do not count for album sales.
That was why I was so bummed with WYA & Tell Me getting approved belatedly.
Freshly Pressed: David Archuleta’s “I’ll Never Go” music video to premiere on Juice.ph
Posted on: June 14, 2012
By: Juice.ph Team

Archuleta’s fans and followers can exclusively watch the worldwide music video premiere of “I’ll Never Go” on SUNDAY, JUNE 24, 2012, 8:00 PM Manila Time on this page. …
“Forevermore,” released last March, is Archuleta’s last album before his 2-year break from the music industry to embark on an important spiritual mission. Banking on Archuleta’s vocal ability and the songs’ essential touch, Ivory Music & Video is proud to announce that “Forevermore” is now certified gold!
“I wouldn’t say that I sound better than the original singers because the singers here are so amazing. But I would hope that I could pay tribute to them with this album,” said Archuleta during the press conference for the album.

David Archuleta Covers U2, Aguilera, Lauper, McLachlan on New Album, “Begin”
David Archuleta is currently in Chile, serving a Mormon mission, but he’s left some music behind for fans to enjoy. On August 7, he’ll release an album called Begin, which is made up of cover versions of songs designed to “musically portray David’s connection with God.” David recorded the album before he left on his mission.
Most of the tracks on Begin are big pop hits that have an inspirational flavor or message; there’s also one original called “Broken.” Among the hits Archie covers on the disc: Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful,” Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors,” U2′s “Pride (in the Name of Love),” Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel” and Peter Gabriel’s “Don’t Give Up.”
David wrote on Twitter that he hopes his fans are “excited” about the new disc.
Here’s the track listing:
“Beautiful” (Christina Aguilera)
“Bridge over Troubled Water” (Simon and Garfunkel)
“Pride (in the Name of Love)” (U2)
“True Colors” (Cyndi Lauper)
“Everybody Hurts” (R.E.M.)
“Be Still, My Soul” (Sibelius)
“Angel” (Sarah McLachlan)
“Don’t Give Up” (Peter Gabriel)
“Somewhere Only We Can Know” (Keane)
“Broken” (David original)

David Archuleta is doing an album of inspirational covers
David ‘Dave’ Archuleta has announced his next album ‘Begin’.
The popstar is of course on a two-year mission with The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints so won’t be doing the usual promotional rounds. However, his team back at Archie HQ are making sure his fans are kept satisfied during the hiatus by revealing the tracklist.
The album will contain ten covers of ‘inspirational’ songs including ‘Pride (In The Name Of Love)’, ‘Everybody Hurts’ and ‘Don’t Give Up’.
A redo of Britney’s ‘Oops’ album track ‘Don’t Go Knockin’ On My Door’ won’t appear as a bonus on the deluxe edition.
‘Begin’ will be in all good record shops from August 7.

‘American Idol’ notes: Scotty McCreery, David Archuleta, season 12 audiitons
We are in the midst of summer vacation for “American Idol,” and with that in mind the “notes” are sparser than usual. But isn’t a tiny bit of news better than no news at all — especially when it involves season 7 alum David Archuleta?
David’s new music video tease – Before taking off on his Mormon mission earlier this year, David planned it out long in advance that he would have some new content coming out on a semi-regular basis. After all, this ensures that people do keep him in their mind while he is away.
Thanks to his team, a new teaser for David’s upcoming “I’ll Never Go” video was posted onto his official YouTube page — and it’s really rather beautiful. The song is a part of his OPM album “Forevermore,” which was released in the Philippines earlier this year. The full music video is set to debut on Sunday, June 24 at 8:00 p.m. in Manila on local website Juice.ph. This traditional music may not even be remotely familiar to listeners in America … but that does not make it any less enjoyable in the slightest.

So much buzz about BEGIN. It’s nice to see David’s name on the celebrity blogs again with this announcement.
Marlie, it is like old times. Reading several different articles, all over the internet, and all the wonderful comments about how excited everyone is to hear this new music.
I’m quite excited to hear how David interprets these songs, especially U2′S. And, the only complaint I have, is I want more. Greedy, I know, but when it comes to David’s music, I just can’t help it.
Cutter: How can you not be greedy about David’s voice? lol I want to hear him sing every song on the planet

Check additional photos added above -- Kari’s + one from Richard P.
Ever wonder how the album title got finalized?
Kari Sellards @kariontour
@CanadianArchie David decided on the title during the last few days of recoding BEGIN.
JR, you are such a fantastic David fan who is much appreciated by this fanatic David fan! Thanks for keeping me updated with the buzz for Begin. If I had to pick one song I want to hear the most it would be Broken. When those words and notes start flowing from that “place” he goes I’m sure I’ll be nothin’ but a pile of goo…and looking forward to it! LOL!
Marlie, I can handle that!
And JR, I find it kinda funny that the City Weekly, even with its sardonic slant, has seemed to always have a warm spot for David.
My top 3 anticipated songs are
1. Broken
2. Pride
3. Everybody Hurts
(I’m expecting me to need a hankie, especially for #3.)
angelofdja -- it is always my pleasure to update, assist and share with co-Archies. Great to see you drop by
A pile of goo -- YUP! That young man sure knows how to make us feel vulnerable.
I sure am interested on what BROKEN is all about. Based on how enigmatic David is, it may be far from what we are expecting, LOL
Woot! Woot! BEGIN. will be available in Manila

BTW, I posted teaser #2 of I’ll Never Go MV in the previous thread. Posting it here too
5 more days to go to a new MV!
Again from Idol Chatter
• David Archuleta has a new album called Begin coming out Aug. 7. The album, which includes covers of Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water, R.E.M.’s Everybody Hurts and U2′s Pride (In the Name of Love), was recorded before David left on his two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

This is very timely and a very good read about how artists’s work go unprotected
http://thetrichordist.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/letter-to-emily-white-at-npr-all-songs-considered/
I have to give kudos to the Archie community cos by large, we
(a) love David & his music
(b) love to enjoy more music from him
(c) are eager to help David by patronizing his works -- so we pay
And I think that is the crux of the matter. Not all musicians aspire to be rich. They just want to make a living off their trade. And if they have an audience, a base with whom they connect and their music speak to, then their work will be of value to that base.
The technological opportunities is inevitable. Artists must find a way to work with it.
JR, I have been absorbed in that article and the hundreds of responses it garnered. Very heated discussion and a tender subject for artists of many kinds. It has never crossed my mind to not pay for the music I have on my digital devices. Not the same for say; my 29 year old son. A preceding argument came to be when I starting venting out loud to my hubby about piracy and how it hurts all artists. It seems my son is of the mindset that adamantly believes he is not a thief! I could go on and on about how I gave the best debate possible, but I still did not get anywhere! Other than confused by him not “getting-it”!
David Archuleta @DavidArchie
From David: eating sooo much food. I have never felt so sick to my stomach from eating too much! They feed us really well here! (ks)
NOT SURE how reliable this wiki entry is --
Begin.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Begin. (stylized as BEGIN.) is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter David Archuleta. The album is composed of a mixture of cover songs and original tracks sung by Archuleta himself.
Album information
The album is set to release on August 7, 2012, under Deseret Book’s label, Shadow Mountain Records. The album consists of ten tracks, nine of which are cover songs by Archuleta and one of them, titled “Broken” is a entirely new song written and sung by Archuleta himself. “Broken” is set to be released as the lead single of the album.

Ok, since we have previewed 1/3 of the album, I looped the 3 clips in one promo video
“My eeeyyyyyyes down below…” The man wails beautifully! Who does that?!
Love the three clips together, JR!
OMG -- I can’t stop listening to Don’t Give Up -- that little snippet has me in a tailspin. You are so right, JR- “The man wails beautifully!”
David and Kari are killing us one clip at a time.
“My aaaeeeyyyyyys down below…” GAH!
That’s all. Carry on.

Love “Don’t Give Up” snippet. This is one of my anticipated songs on the album BEGIN. It reminds me of my papa coz he love this song so much. One of his fave songs ever. Now we both have the same fave song. He has his old version from Peter Gabriel and I have my new and breathtaking version from David Archuleta. If he hears David’s version, maybe he’ll like it and become an Archie too. Hahaha.
Can’t wait to hear the entire songs of the album.
I’m sure I’m going to love it all.
RUBI -- oh wow! Your Dad will be in for a treat. Let us know what he thinks of the song once he has listened to the full trax.
