OMG i noticed it in ASCAP : the song "NOT ME" was registered under the performers DAVID COOK !!!
Does it the first single he 'll release soon ?? I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER !!!

reference : http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?reques...=30&start=1

and it's written by 'doctor'. it just might be the single...

Iiiinteresting indeed!

I'm wondering how soon his new single will be out. Let's see... is it... one month or two before the album drops per the norm?

HeartRocker - Great Find.

that's how the archie's found crush....

i'm getting excited now...

well, now that we have the official announcement that Doctor is on board...hmmmmm...EXCITED!!!!!

YES now i'm excited can't wait for it!

I badly want the single NOW!

hm, i wonder.

I can't wait! I know it will be amazing!

That song title sounds very familiar to me. I was downloading a bunch of music last night and visiting music sites on myspace (David connections). I could swear "Not Me" was on someone's playlist, but I can't remember who.
I can't get on myspace at work but if someone wants to do some searching... I think it was one of the MWK connections. I like to follow the friends trail. I was looking at Bryan and Zac. I don't remember if I found Neal. If nothing turns up by the time I get home I'll check.
Or maybe I was having some kind of premonition....???

I would get to excited. I remember that someone mentioned this before.

And with the Tulsa address couldn’t it been something they have done before idol ?

Funny, I posed this question, in another thread in this subforum, that we might learn what songs are on the new album by checking ASCAP. I wouldn't assume this will be the first single though... it could be a song on the album but not necessarily a single, nor the very next single to be released. But there's a good chance it is!
EDIT:
Ok I checked ASCAP and this is a new entry. No other performer has been registered, and there's no reference to MWK or Andy Skib as performers. I think this could be the new single! David is amazing. Neal gave David a big break when he moved to Tulsa and invited him to join MWK. David is returning the favor ten-fold. But it's more than just loyalty... Neal is so talented, he's was surely David's first choice period. But loyalty most likely comes into play in the way David got Neal on board with 19E/RCA. David Cook is a force to be reckoned with. I've heard and read from more than one source that he's quite "insistant" when it comes to getting his way artistically.

Here is something I learned from last year, just because song is registered on ASCAP doesn't necessarily mean it will even make it to the album. It just so happened that Crush was Archie's first single. Blake Lewis had about 4 or 5 songs registered at ASCAP and I think 2 of them didn't make it to his CD but in the case with David, you never know.

Well, this certainly has me intrigued! Looking forward to finding out more.

Oddly enough, "not me" is the chorus lyric for Makeover off of Analog Heart. Do you think they might have reworked it and renamed it? Hmmmm

I doubt this is anything but an old song that they did together for MWK. The publisher is a place from Tulsa. This leads me to believe that it won't even be on this album. Just a register of a previous song for future protection. Don't get excited.

This has been on for at least a week and so has David's version of "Always Be My Baby" by the way.

I hope I used those quote tags correctly, heh. XD *Nervous laugh*

But eeek, you're right, I didn't think of that!
I really hope that's what they're doing, it's such an amazing song. -is happy-
I'm interested to see, if that is the case, how they might have changed it up.

Well, we'll find out. If it's gonna be a single then that's really exciting!
Can't wait to see if it is or not for sure!

Awesome find!!! i cant wait! the song will probably be out in sept.-oct. (because of the album coming out in November)...

....AH! the suspense is killing me!!!

if it is the single, i'm soo excited!

i can't wait any longer. the suspense is too much. it's only august. i'm guessing mid-sept, early oct for it to be released.

yes. i noticed that. i did not think they would use something off analog heart. but if they really liked it they might let him. and makeover is an awesome song with a catchy chorus...

I found sth exciting on that site too, there is Always Be My Baby (remix),
Cant wait to hear his new songs, will def be an undeniable DC's piece

Aww you beat me to it! I was about to post this. But, aside from that, I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And for people who are saying that it might be "Makeover" that is just remade, I kinda doubt it since it said that "Not Me' was written by "Doctor". But who knows

I can't wait either!!! I'm so excited!!!

I just hope it is the single! Cuz when I read the name I also thought about Makeover! But I know it's not the same song!

We'll see!

makeover was written by david.

really? i am not surprised. it is an awesome song. but i dont get the title. can anyone explain it? i would have called it "not me"

but doesnt he know it IS him, gosh!!!

ahhhhhh soo excited

"Makeover" would be the one song that I would love to see on the new album. It's my fav on Analog Heart! I believe he said though that there is at least one song that is being pulled off the old album, and maybe reworked a bit? Or that seemed to fit? I was assuming he was talking about his last unreleased album?
Ewolf.girl

Aaaaaaahhhh, the suspense is gonna kill me - soon!
I can't wait for the release...

Great find, by the way. I'm so excited

This song does not have David down as co-writer. I can't imagine his first single off the album would be a song he didn't write.

David wrote the music and lyrics of every song on Analog Heart. He is a true musician, a poet, a talented composer, and a master arranger. AH was just an appetizer. His main course is yet to come!

Oh, and ewolf.girl, I agree about Makeover. It remains my favorite AH song, and is truly one of my favorite songs period. I think it's haunting. While I love it in it's raw state, and do find it to be one of the more "produced" songs on the album, I can only imagine what Hollywood engineers and Rob Cavallo's input could do for that song!!

Just for the ones of you who are looking out for new songs.

"Time of my life” and “Im alive” have a licences from SESAC.
So the new song could maybe show there.

Ooooh, I'm impressed with your investigative skills - you should be a private eye! The signs are definitely pointing towards it, aren't they?! Brilliant!

I am already so excited about the album and first single, and it's only August!
I hope there is an Analog heart song on the album!

WOW! Thanks for the additional information, Scott!! I am so excited for the new album I can hardly stand it!! I met David on Monday (YES! OMG!!! Check out my post in the concert thread for story & pics!) and after I complimented him on Analog Heart, he said, "wait until you hear the new album!" Gosh, I am fired up! The anticipation is just killing us, though!!


Also...to Cookie3802, I asked David if he was putting Optimistic to a Fault on the new album and he said no, but one of his old songs will probably make it onto there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I met him a couple of weeks ago I had asked him about Straight Ahead and he said he couldn't comment at that time. Really looking forward to the single, soon, whatever it is called!

Has anyone clicked on Neal's name though? He has 30 songs that are listed under MWK. I still don't know about this idea that David's first single is going to be called Not Me.

So do we have any idea what our Cookie's first single will be?

No, not yet. Right now it seems that David is putting more focus on the record than an actual single. He said in one of the interviews in KC today that they are still shooting for a mid-November release for the record and he said assuming he gets all the work done by that time.

It's in this vid:

Darn! Well thanks for replying!

Can't wait for the single. All I hope it's good. That's all I care about.

Question answered!!! Zoo (Jeannine), WorkingGirl and I saw Neal and Andy Skib (To Have Heroes) perform at a club in Santa Monica last night and then spent the evening having a couple of beers with them. See thread in Other Stuff about the show-pictures to come later today, and in All About David for some things I learned about David and the album (ALL great news).
I asked Neal directly about "Not Me" being licensed with ASCAP and David listed as the performer. Simple answer. It's among the "possible" songs on the album. Neal had already written it, and David wanted to submit it along with the 50 songs he talks about being submitted. It was accepted right away (like someone already said, Neal is a very talented songwriter). It's one of the few (maybe the only one) David didn't write or co-write. It's NOT "Makeover" and that lyric is just a coincidence. Neal says that although it was accepted right away for submission, it has not been selected for the album yet. I don't remember if he said that they even recorded it... so it may be among the 20 songs recorded or not. Neal is a member of ASCAP and when he pens a song he registers it right away. In this case, it's a potential song for David so David is listed as the performer. So that's why it's registered before the other songs... not because it's going to be the next single, but because Neal took the initiative to register it.

^Yay! Finally an answer to the mystery! LOL
Thanks Scott for the info!

Ah, so that's the answer!

Scott, thanks for popping that question to Doctor. I too have no doubts that he's extremely talented as a songwriter.

This is going to be a real band... not some studio session muscians thrown together for a pop star. David is the frontman and will be the chief songwriter. But Neal on guitar (he's a whiz) will gain huge notoriety as a talented band member and David's right hand man. I am sure Neal will pen some of the songs, and certainly co-write with David. And David will write many songs himself. Bottom line, this will be a wonderful collaboration and will protect David. When you come out of Idol and do that solo Pop Star thing you're very vulnerable. I even think Archie is vulnerable to some extent because pop stars are more likely to become flavors of the month (or year) and have so many things done for them (songwriting, arrangements, producing). Rock bands with bandmates that get along and collaborate together have longevity. And they build loyal fan bases. David was smart to form a band. It doesn't need a name. But it's a band and they will have each others back. Every aspect of how this is coming together for David is, IMO, perfect.

Well said, Scott. And I'd like to add my thanks to you for thinking to ask Neal about "Not Me". One mystery solved. Now, we need to find something else to speculate on!

I agree, Scott. I couldn't be happier for them.



I'm sure we will think of something.
