I doubt that David would do a studio recording of Anodyne, just because it is a MWK song and, therefore, Andy's song. And while he does it on tour, I doubt he'd want to take away from MWK since he loves those guys so much. And I do really love Andy's version. I love Dave's live too, it just becomes a whole different animal.

Oh yeah, I also doubt it, but a girl can dream can't she? Hahaha!

I'm ready for another David record NOW. Lol. I'm still hoping for an EP or something in between, maybe something with Souvenir on it, and, hopefully WOHWWS, because that song deserves to see the light of day beyond being played on tour.

Totally agree!!! Crossing fingers and hoping!!!...

^ Oh yeah! Of course he has to get done touring first, and hopefully the next few months will fly by so he can get back in that studio. Of course, he's probably already working on songs. Hopefully Neal will co-write some of them, that would be AWESOME.

I love this song, it's weird because since David I really can't stand to listen to other male singers that much, Ryan was ok, but I like Andy singing it.

About writing credits, if you go to amazon and search it has a thing for David Cook's favorite songs, or playlist, something like that, if I wasn't tired I would post the link for you. He has Anodyne the list and says he likes it because he had a hand in writing it, but I don't remember if he tells if it's Neal who wrote it too. I didn't know any MWK songs before, cause I had never got around to dl'ing them, I didn't have the money, cause if I can't buy it legal I send the price of a CD to Adam's bank fund. Anyway I dl'ed it when I saw that, mine came from amazon instead of iTunes. I don't know if it's because I listened to AH every night before I went to bed for 3 months, not counting daytime plays and I listen to DCTR as I fall asleep since I put it in my stereo November 18th, 2008. I can def. hear things that sounds like something David would write. Sorry for the long post.

^ I've heard David say that he had a hand in writing the music for Anodyne but the lyrics were all Neal.

Thanks for the info about the amazon playlist thing... gonna go check it out.

Seriously, this song is to die for - definitely among my top five MWK songs. It's just amazing. I think I definitely prefer Andy singing it, too. I'm not saying Dave's version is rubbish, because as we all know, it's far from it, but you really can't beat the original. Also, since finding out that he was/is the main songwriter for MWK, I think I've loved Neal a little bit more. It almost seems as if there's nothing that guy can't do. Heh.

^ Dude, Neal is some bionic guitar player/songsmith... it's insane how gifted he is.

But yeah, I agree, I don't think you can beat the original of this song. Even though I love Dave doing it too, it's Andy's song, know what I mean?
