I found this song... Optimistic to a Fault ... that David did before Idol.. It's not on the Analog Heart album, or any other album i can find, but it's an AMAZING song!... I have the short video I found and a mp3 of it... I wish I could tell David that he should put this song on his new album!...

if anyone wants it... let me know.. and i'll figure out how to use sendspace...

EDIT: it is just the one that was on youtube.... not any type of full version... it's the only one that I can find... sorry

According to some posts that are supposed to be from his MySpace before Idol. that song was to be on the next album he was working on before Idol snatched him up.. I'd love to hear it if you can get it on here... thanks... by the by, where on earth did you get it ,anyway

Well where is it then?

I don't see the link.

Here's the mp3 file....

((my first time using sendspace... so hopefully it works.. )

You can just go to Youtube and type the title and Cook in the search bar and it comes right up, along with DreamBig, another one from his unrecorded new album... Thanks for letting us know it's out there...

Thank you! I like it!
It's really nice to get something new again.
(We got spoiled during Idol; a new cookie treat every week.)

I'm in love with this song. I hope he releases it someday 'cuz it's sooo damn good!

The title is actually Better Never Than Late

I like that name.. less obvious

Wow. that's awesome.. Love DC's voice. thanks for sharing!

Wow, I really like that song. Does anyone have the full version or any other songs from that album that didn't get released?

this song is super amazing and i would love to know if anybody has the complete version of it...it has become my new favorite cook song!

I love this --- gorgeous!!! I'd love a full version too if anyone has one.

love the song!

I love this too. I think I found it last weekend.
But mine ends sort of abruptly at 2:10.
Does anyone have a version longer than 2 min 10 seconds?
Just wondered if a longer version exists?

I heard back from the people who run the Oklahoma Travel site (that originally posted the clip). The guy said he was going to try to go back through their archives and see if he could find the whole song.

I hope he does.

that would be too cool!
