A little silly, but I had to do this....

How David Cook Helped Music Touch My Soul Again
By Word Nerd # 2490
Until American Idol Season 7 came along, I was {Livin’ on a Prayer’} as far as music goes. Songs and artists that could touch my soul were few and far between.
However, when David Cook came onto my screen with a song and his smile, I felt as if he was telling me {Everything I Do, I Do It For You}.
I thought, “{I’ll Be} voting for him definitely!”
When he made it to the Top 24 I knew that we would be {Happy Together} for a little while longer.
I would sit through the weekly episodes anxiously anticipating DC’s performance and then I could sigh, I’m {All Right Now}.
I was already investing in him as an artist, but like most viewers he had me at {Hello}.
His Top 12 song haunted me so much that entire week that I began to think my name was {Eleanor Rigby}.
I knew David was no {Day Tripper}, because with his perfomances he took me all the way there.
Just like in {Billie Jean}, my eyes dreamed of being the one, David Cook was singing to each week.
But just as a {Little Sparrow}soars high in the air, I knew David’s path was much different than mine and I would be content to watch him soar.
His {Innocent} heart was made obvious by the ‘AC’ on his guitar and the ‘orange bracelet’ on his arm, so who would not be inspired by this man to ‘Give back.’
It was clear after each successive week that although I would never know him personally, he would {Always Be My Baby} through his music.
In the daytime, his songs playing in the background would help me get my work done and in my dreams{The Music of the Night} would touch my soul.
Each Tuesday when David sang I would feel like {I’m Alive} again, because music began to mean something to me once more.
I had to then admit that {All I Really Need Is You}, David, to keep singing songs which move me.
It was getting hard to make it through Thursdays to Mondays, because I was {Hungry Like the Wolf} for more.
{Baba O’Riley} put his back into his living, but I was putting mine into downloading his songs and searching the internet for more David Cook information.
I came across internet videos, interviews and articles which reminded me of {The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face}, David, and how your voice and smile lit up the room and stirred up my emotions.
I wanted to {Dare You to Move} me again like you had on the last song.
You met my challenge and {I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing} you do, whether it’s a song, an interview, or anything else.
As far as music lifting my spirits, my previous feelings that {I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For} was a thing of the past.
With David Cook’s artistry on the horizon I could now {Dream Big} about music again.
{The World I Know} would not be the same without David’s music bringing a smile to my face, a tear to my eye, touching me on every level.
I give many thanks to American Idol for showing David Cook to the world and to me, because now I am having {The Time of My Life}and enjoying music once again.

You are so awesome!

That was sweet, and really touching.

Thank you!!! Have a terrific day!

That was...


Awesome. A true poetic statement about Cook and what he's done for a lot of us, I'm sure.

Thank you for appreciating it. I know I was speaking for many DC fans out there. He is so inspiring isn't he??!!

I know it speaks for myself, it's amazing how one man can bring all of us together. It blows my mind, how about yours?
