So, no lyrics in the album booklet. I´m glad we have them here at The Dash already!

i want to know what his liner notes say!

NOTICE that A Daily AntheM time says 15:24!!.... Kiss On the Neck is there!!!!! AHHH!!!!

vivian - I tried printing out the Album Booklet, but the scanned version of the print is hard to read. I guess we will have to wait for the hard copy.

What no lyrics??? Must login to official site?

I tried to read that small print and finally gave up. Love the look of everything and can't wait to really read it.

I think that offering the lyrics on the official site is pretty darn smart. It gets a person to the site, doesn't it? Very smart.

Jeannine

I agree - leaving the lyrics off and pointing them to the DavidCookOfficial.com site is a very smart idea.

Yes. we´ll have to wait..

Did anyone else think that Kimberly Caldwell is the first person who he gives credits to? If so, that would really be something.. I´m not sure if I see it correctly though.

I think it says .. Mom & Darrell (?), Dad & Vivian (?), Andrew, Adam (etc.....)

Yeah.. maybe smart.. maybe gets more people to log on the site. But I have to admit I´m a bit disappointed. He´s a word nerd for God´s sake. There should be lyrics, WORDS on his album booklet. Just my humble opinion of course.

Words can never make me stay LOL..

I´m listening to Avalanche. This song is killing me. I haven´t heard anything that beautiful for ages.

Oh and now Permanent. I´m speechless.

Love how the song titles are in his own handwriting, nice touch. It does look like Kim A. Caldwell, but not sure.

That was first thought (which would have been great) but I think dizzyglover is right - I think his "Mom" is the first thank you.

The very next line starts with a "K" and you can see that that K in the second line and the very first letter of the first line are NOT the same.

I can read some of it pretty well.

"Lastly, everyone who's offered even the slightest support throughout not only the last year, but the last 25 years. I'm where I'm at for reasons beyond my control and I can't wait to spend ???? of my career showing each of you.......... ?????"

his step dad & step mom

Damn.. I think we´ll have to stay here for the rest of the night with a magnifying glass...

DC4 - I think the first thank you goes to Mom and Dad Knoll (does that make sense).
The second line "k" is Kyle

I cannot figure out the rest of it.

It's Mom and Grenvell and Dad and Victoria

thanks Kyrie for solving the mystery - I could not make out "Grenvell"

THE BOTTOM PICTURE IS GORGEOUS!
I really like the layout... it's pretty.

Wow. Perseverence pays off. My magnifying glass just did not do it for me....of course I am half blind anyway, ha, ha.

What we spend our time on (when I'm supposed to be working), just for a cookie crumb!!!!

no lyrics?!
i guess i'm gonna have to print them off sometime.
the layout looks good though

I just sent a message to my friend who sent me these pics and who already has the album.. if I could have a bigger pic or if he just could tell me what it says!





And here is the reply...



Mrs. Gentry awwwwwwwww..... too cute.

Enjoy!

Vivian - did we tell you we love today. You Rock.
What an amazing list of people. coming from NJ I was so happy to see BonJovi was also thanked.

i love how it says "M to the J, Tater" << along with the others

Yeah.. I think I´ll have to read this a thousand times until I realize who all these people are..

First I thought there was no Raine Maida at all.. and I thought it´s VERY strange.. then I noticed "Raine & Chantal", must be them.




This is amazing.. I have already listened to the album for "so many" times.. but still I´m so excited about next week, to have the actual cd in my hands!

I have NEVER been this crazy about any music artist. This is ridiculous.

Good for David - he is such a class act thanking everyone who has touched his life and career.

Yes.. and read the last sentence. That´s why I love this guy. He´s so humble, so amazing!

No Chris Cornell??? (or did I miss it?)

Aww.

I like the layout...the script font is really pretty. Picture's great, and as I've said elsewhere, the color scheme is awesome. Under the "Creative" heading I think I can make out "Art Direction: David Cook, ___________".

Awesome...thanks for this!

My vote for the first word is Mom. That would make sense. His mom would be appropriate. She was always there for him throughout the entire Idol experience. I think she flew back and forth for most of shows. Andrew was there a few times, his Dad a couple of times, in-laws, etc--but Mom was there most of the time. I think it would be an insult if he didn't acknowledge his mother and if I was his mother I would be upset. Blood is thicker than water! Girlfriends come and go. If he was married, then okay a wife before the mom but not a girlfriend. He hooked up with Kim almost at the end of his run on Idol afterall.

Okay, after I posted it I SAW that it was his mom. GOOD BOY!!!

That's very sweet of him to include pretty much everyone. I laughed when I saw Ryan's name

Just a few more reasons I love this human being. His soul, spirit, selfless nature...lots to love.

He is an important teacher to us all on this crazy planet.

Um.....wait a minute.....FAMILY GUY?????? HA

I think I can add this. The actual CD looks like this:

JessFairy - thank you - the actual CD looks awesome

I'm finding it unbearably cute that he name checks Mr Sixx

Hopefully Tuesday evening (British postal system willing) I shall be holding that in my hands

It says Officer Byrd as one!
that makes me wonder.......

JUST GOT THE ALBUM!!!!

GOT A CALENDAR POSTER with TOML pic

AND MORE SCANS that were not posted here!!


JUST CLICK ON THE THUMBNAILS

OMG! Widz, I just scanned that middle page too! What's one more David picture to look at right?

OHMYGOD.
Too beautiful.

I just love these thank you's. They are soooo David. So appropriate, so classy, so sweet, and so funny. Any guy who thanks his mom first, and includes his grandma, a TV show, and a dog in the thank you's on his CD gets major points in my book.

Totally cool!!!!!!



I love this middle page......the many sides of David Roland Cook.....it's simply perfect!

I love david for putting family guy! haha that made me laugh

At the end how he put:

"And lastly but not least, not just for last year but for the last 25 years
I'm where I'm at for reasons out of my control, and I can't wait to spend
the rest of my career showing each of you why you helped me here. ...to the heavens...

was truly touching. It made me smile.









omg thanks!!! its PERFECT!

I can not wait for tmr, Im going crazy!!!!!!!!!

Here is the back cover (of a Wal Mart version with Breathe Tonight)shown under the cd...is the picture any different on the non Wal Mart versions?

And he thanked Archie and the top 10. Who's Unggawa?

The picture is the same, but the part where it says "Bonus Track Breathe Tonight" is left blank.

I love the Album booklet i saw the pics of him and the thank you and i thought what a goofball but what a sweetheart and then i take out the cd and see the pic that creeps me out and wow so many different sides of David and then i bring it to school today to show it off and my friend like the pics and was creeped out by creepy david pic but yeah i think its great

Ungawa is Ramiele. I thought it's cute that he had a nickname for all of his AI mates.

I thought so, too. (Ramiele is the only logical choice) I wonder why? It's cute, though, coz it's too far from her name, it's difficult to know. It means that there's a back story. I've always thought that he was fond of her.

I googled ungawa and this is what I got from urban dictionary....

ungawa --- "a word used when speaking to any individual of Asian descent (particularly in ChinaTown New York). It really doesn't mean anything, except that it gets the attention of Asians, and it often can mean simply "hi" or "hello"

so maybe this is the reason....


on another note.... I read those liner notes for any mention of Kim Caldwell..... from what I've read.... she's not mentioned.... or maybe he gave a code name for her, too..... just wondering.....
