[what a gift]

I am LOVING devouring all these videos and articles and news and info and stuff... LOVING it!!!

Oh my Gosh I wish and Hope and Pray that this, the AI appearance with the new song, etc etc, might cause some sort of *jump start* to occur for David--- he just is SO amazingly talented, he is SUCH a special, SPECIAL human being... and he just deserves it SO very much...

I wonder if any of this might be featured on any of tomorrow's entertainment shows or anything... ...that would be AWESOME... more exposure of and for our beautiful boy... exposure he SO deserves... and hopefully prompting more SUCCESS... success that he also SO deserves...

LOVE the new song and LOVE him so much!!!!!!!

Congrats on last night and on EVERYTHING, David!!! We love you!!!!!!

Amen to that!

Like everyone I am eager to see and hear the new song, but I have a question. When TLM came out, didn't David say that he winnowed the number of songs he composed for the CD down from 90 or so? I would think he'd have a portfolio of stuff to record from then, yet he is writing new music.

Just a thought... David is always saying that he is all about "progression", and I think he is in a different place now then when he was writing for TLM.

eilonwy:

I think it could go in any number of different directions.

Eh, let's squeeze all of them into one song. Look what fell through the ether.

The last song I'll write for you:
Is it full of p*ss and spite for you
Or the words that make it right for you?
Will the hand that feeds get a bite for you?
Are my harmonies too tight for you?

The last song I'll write for you:
Am I out of fuel to fight for you
Or about to climb the height for you?
Is the industry what I indict for you?
Or are these lyrics too trite for you?

The last song I'll write for you:
Is my guitar-playing too uptight for you?
Did I give the right sound bite for you?
Am I flash in the pan or a pilot light for you?
Sit tight--
Don't take flight--
What comes to light--
I'll be singing it Thursday night for you.

That should leave no doubt that one reason I enjoy Cook's songwriting is that he's better at it than I'd be. There'll probably be, like, internal rhymes and running metaphors and stuff.

[what a gift]

Uhhhhhhhh... I hadn't yet read the text the person had written before the lyrics-- my eyes saw what appeared to be lyrics and just FREAKED and just jumped right in to see what AWESOME lyrics David had written for the new single he'll be premiering next week!!!!!!!

LOL as I began reading I thought, "Uhhhhhhh... ummmmmmmm... not sure this is the best idea in the world..."

LOLOLOLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well here's to realizing these are NOT the new song lyrics, and here's to a GREAT JOB by eilonwy!!! --TOO funny and.... sadly... TOO accurate!!! LOL!!!!!
