First of all\u2026 when David Cook opens his mouth it literally\u00a0<\/em>makes my heart happy. \u00a0My heart jumps up, grows little stick-figure feet, and begins to sway back and forth in a happy motion that I can\u2019t describe in this article. I watched American Idol for exactly two seasons. The first just happened to be the year David Cook won the award and the key to my heart.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 It wasn\u2019t \u201cThe Music of the Night\u201d or his rendition of \u201cBillie Jean\u201d that took me. I\u2019m one tough cookie, not even David’s backstory won me. Although the relationship with his brother and the end of the story\u00a0did have me weeping like a child. It was the feeling behind the borderline raspy and glowing voice that had me at \u201cHello\u201d<\/em> (see what I did there? If not, Google it, because it was funny). Seriously though, David doesn\u2019t just sing the lyrics, he feels them. The feeling takes over his body and somehow regurgitates itself beautifully into these incredible songs. These\u00a0songs make you want to wrap your arms around him and say, \u201cOKAY ALREADY!! I\u2019m yours, and I’m not going anywhere.\u201d. If there was ever a perfect boyfriend, they are all wrapped up inside David\u2019s songs.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 Analog Heart<\/i><\/b>, the\u00a0debut album that was actually released before David\u2019s debut on American Idol. It was heavier than the following album, just not my cup of tea. Kudos to David and his boys for making it, great job! The debut album was just the prelude before David jumped\u00a0into his comfortable skin. Everyone has to start somewhere, right?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 After the show, David\u2019s sophomore album David Cook<\/i><\/b> was released. This album had all the hype. It\u2019s almost like his rise to stardom happened\u00a0backwards. Holy crap, this album is amazing. In fact, the only song on this album that I absolutely didn\u2019t LOVE is the one written for American Idol (\u201cTime of my Life\u201d). Commercially, this album did more than moderately well, seeing some success with singles, \u201cLight On\u201d<\/em> \u0438 \u201cCome Back to Me\u201d<\/em>. Hardcore Cook fans knew every word to every song on the album. I still think \u201cAvalanche\u201d<\/em> is the soundtrack of my life. I dunno\u2026 maybe \u201cBar-ba-sol\u201d<\/em> is more accurate. Again, I digress, this album rocked my socks off. Melodically, David enraptured and made me fall deeper\u00a0in love with him with every word. Then, the best news ever came. There was a TOUR.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 Well, of course there was a tour! So, I gathered up my BFF and off we went. At this point, I was about 2 years into owning my photography studio. I was \u0414\u0435\u0439\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e<\/em>\u00a0hoping to get a few shots. Of course, I took my big DSLR\u00a0because I\u2019m dumb like that. So, after nearly getting kicked out of the club before we got in, I checked my DSLR at the door\u00a0and we made our way as far front as we could. The show was General Admission in an open club, so there were no seats (important factor for women in their 30\u2019s to know). By far, we were the oldest ladies in the joint. That just proved that\u00a0we are way cooler than most moms.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 That same\u00a0night I discovered his opening bands: Green River Ordinance, and The Script (who would become somewhat of a sensation over the next year). David sounded even more angelic in person than he did on the album. He\u00a0definitely was oozing\u00a0sex appeal. Looking back at the American Idol single releases, shooting forward to this man in front of me, I was a bit stunned. Just a haircut and a little beard growth\u2026 and \u201chey cutie\u201d became \u201cOh DAMN.\u201d I did, in fact, have the time of my life. I won\u2019t tell you about the 6 foot 2 blonde I almost pummeled for stepping in front of me mid-jam, but I will tell you about David\u2019s laugh and sparkling eyes during our 0.2 second conversation in the parking lot later that night. Oh, and of course, the photographs. It was pretty magical. If you haven\u2019t bought this album yet, you\u2019re late. Just get it and thank me later.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 So, all these millions of years later David releases his 4th album- Digital Vein.\u00a0<\/i><\/b>I\u2019m OH-so-happy. I\u2019m going to assume that David is reading this. Please, just skip this paragraph<\/div>\n
David…because I love you so much. I have to admit, I wasn\u2019t sure what we were going to get. The third album in turn, This Quiet Morning<\/i><\/b>, left a bit something to be desired. I appreciated the “Pink Floyd-esque” turn it took in telling a story from radio silence to screaming pain. There weren\u2019t more than a couple songs on the album that I just couldn\u2019t live without. It felt less like David and more like a project. A project well-done, but not quite executed as well as perhaps it should’ve been. I wanted to love it. I really did, David. I tried…I just couldn\u2019t. This wasn\u2019t the David from the last album. He branched out into a more solemn, dark place. I just didn\u2019t want to follow on these terms.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u041e\u0434\u043d\u0430\u043a\u043e, \u0426\u0438\u0444\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430\u044f \u0432\u0435\u043d\u0430<\/i><\/b> brought our David back. This is not the David of David Cook<\/i><\/b>. He\u2019s older. He’s a\u00a0bit more jaded. I. CAN\u2019T. STOP. LISTENING. It\u2019s as if David made his rise commercially, came back to his roots independently, and found himself somewhere in the middle. Fifteen heart-wrenching songs beginning with a single \u201cheartbeat\u201d<\/i> and finishing out with a haunting \u201cbut we won\u2019t\u201d<\/i>. I want to apologize to him for all the hurt he had to endure and kick the ass of whatever girl did this to him. If David were Adele, this would be his 21<\/i><\/b>. There is a pretty epic rendition of \u201cWicked Game\u201d<\/i>, a song I\u2019ve always loved. This is one of those songs that you either nail the shit out of or just leave it alone. Yet, as always, he nailed it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For David, I hope the commercial stations pick up a few singles- they definitely have more than one or two to choose from. However, part of me wants to tuck this album underneath my pillow and keep it as a secret that only David and I share. If this album is any indication of what\u2019s to come, this summer\u2019s tour will hopefully be the last time anyone pays less than $50 a ticket to see him live.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
See you in a couple weeks, David. \u201cWait for Me\u201d<\/em>.<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
