The Song That Changed David’s Life

Posted by Archuleta Avenue Msia on February 5, 2019
Posted in: General. Leave a comment

David tweets:

Throwback to 2011 when I first released this song #noticeme. It was the first song I ever wrote in Nashville 2 years before in 2009. Forever changed my life being introduced to the amazing writers and their writing style that day! #FBF

NOTICE ME 

(Love It!!)  ðŸ˜

Acoustic Version of this lovable song with its beautiful melody!

Ironic!  David Archuleta asking to be NOTICED??!!

♥️

The original version with lyrics:

Really!  Seriously!  David NEEDS to make a concerted effort to sing more LOVE SONGS   I listen to that voice in that song (both the latest acoustic version and the original), I hear the lamented pining of one hopelessly in love.  How many singers can sing so emotively like that?  Conveying so convincingly the message of unrequited love?  Yes I’m tearing up.  Darn.

(And Loving this pic of David!!)

CHINESE NEW YEAR is here again!

Bring out all the scrumptious food!  the bulging red packets!  Raise the noise level!  Jingle at the good-luck betting tables!  Fire the crackling crackers!  Light the red lanterns!  Drink the good omen long life tea!  Burn the auspicious jossticks and make many wishes!  For moi, I’m turning up the volume of my DAVID ARCHULETA  songs !!!!!!!!!!!!   😀

Fun time!!!

Promising predictions for the year:

During the Year of the Boar/Pig 2019, Horses are finally enjoying more stability and construction, after years when everything seemed unstable, temporary, and vulnerable to shocks.  https://www.thechinesezodiac.org/horse-2019-horoscope/

Sounds auspicious for David!

The only musical link I know about between Chinese New Year and our Archie is the song below.  Till this day, I’m still touched and impressed by the way he had sung this song.  Chinese is a very difficult language to enunciate.  And here is this young man verbalising Mandarin lyrics as if he had sung in this language all his life.

(The only regret about this vid is – his singing is cut off halfway through.   Ohhh ..  Kari!  But still, the close-up of his face is worth watching – you could see the emotive raising of his eyebrows, the stirring movement of his lips – he is a soul of such melting sensitivities – makes you want to cry.  Yes, even though while you’re celebratring a very auspicious New Year and winning at the betting tables!  Happy heart-warming crying   😥   😀

My Friend Wants an Archu-Alert

Posted by Archuleta Avenue Msia on January 31, 2019
Posted in: General. Leave a comment

This is one of my diary posts – an article based on true life.  My friend, Wenn, and I met up yesterday for a pre-Chinese New Year lunch.

It’s been a rather long time.  Yes it has.  Where shall we go?  What shall we eat?  Anywhere.  Anything.  Yes the place doesn’t count.  The food counts even less.  So we went somewhere quiet.  Sat down and ordered 2 bowls of ramen – one with chicken, the other salmon, and we shared.  There is something very affectionate and safe! about sharing food.  Like sharing the risk of one of us having made the mistake of ordering something totally inedible.  But it happened both orders were very yummy.  So we had to do a little scrambling instead for the other person’s food.

So what has been happening?  Nothing much except the glass pane on the bathroom wall fell as I was taking my shower and shattered right into my leg .  Ya, sure.  Serious.  Okay, that’s exciting … hmm and I started a fire in the house and my pet rat got roasted.  Such interesting lives, the both of us live.  Yeah, I wonder if other people are as lucky as we.  Like whom?  You know, like politicians, celebrities, singers .. . like your favourite you know, David Archu or something.  Archu-or-something is fine and doing well; strange that you should mention his name now.  Really? never hear anything about him.  That’s because you read all the crazy things like wars and conflicts and stuff. So what’s this thing about him that you’re smirking about; feeling utterly proud of him, are you??  Good music, good writing, good singing.  Really?  Really.  Well, proof of the pudding is in the eating; send me one of his songs.  Ok I will.

So I did last night.  Sent her this vid to her phone.  I know this is a song David is very proud of.  It’s one of his quirky songs and I love the lyrics.

And guess what.  Great minds think alike.  Great minds like David and me.  😯   😀   Round about the same time he sent this tweet:

“I started a war… I sent out the battle cry. And I’ve been here before… Fighting me, myself, and I. When I try to prove that I’m never gonna lose I push too hard… I push too far.… https://www.instagram.com/p/BtPFzojAY_i/?utm_source=ig_twitter_share&igshid=1xjeck4fyvgub …

So happy that David is constantly keeping  in touch with his fans;  keeping the interest and whatever conversation going.  More so, keeping his great music coming.

Spreading His Wings

News of an Ecstatic nature!   😀

Canadian and UK Fans are getting David Live!

Image result for david archuleta concert

Although no dates have been fixed, Archie’s Team (Wow, what a great new team!) is in the process of gauging interest and response to arranging such and such for the very near future.   David’s new team should be given a huge pat on the back.  It has been doing a superb job – the kind which David deserves.

How often have people, even pop music fans, remarked:  “I didn’t know about this album.”   “Is David Archuleta still singing?”  “Did I not hear that he has gone for a Mission somewhere?”

To me, it is seriously unthinkable that a talented and seriously good singer – and one who is so filled with such tremendous enthusiasm –  should be forgotten.  That his name should fade into the wilderness.  For reason that he did not realise the importance of good and effective promotion and publicity and exposure.  As  artistes, we must be individuals but we must also relate.

In a recent interview with CEEK, David confessed:

“It has been a good lesson for me to realize I can’t just announce something once and then shy away from promoting myself”

It was David’s character.  Not to draw attention to himself.  Not to promote himself.

I can understand that kind of mentality.  It is Modesty at its best.  It is worthy of admiration and commendation.  BUT, HECK, NOT WHEN YOU’RE A STAGE PERFORMER, A RECORDING ARTISTE.

It is such a great sigh of relief for me that DAVID’S CREATIVE IMPULSE HAS REALISED THAT HIS ARTISTIC LIFE HAS A CAVITY WHICH NEEDS TO BE FILLED.  HE IS NOW SPREADING HIS WINGS AND REACHING OUT TO MORE PARTS OF THE WORLD.  Slow and steady perhaps but definitely trying to invite more people to listen, to appreciate and to be influenced.  Hopefully this trend will continue.

“It was my first official release as a fully independent artist and there was a lot that I was learning about marketing on my own. I’ve learned a lot from releasing a Christmas album, Winter in the Air, and hiring a new PR person who has been so great.”

I’m posting the vid below, not only because it is one of my favourites from him and a beautiful one, I also think it is a great Concert song.  A song which would stir up the audience both in Canada and the UK, and inspiring them to switch on their phones and waving them.  Afterall he is a beacon of his personal Light which should touch more people in more parts of the world.

Great Interview with CEEK -and- From Then to Now

I got to talk to @ceek about my upcoming tour, new music, and what else is to come in 2019! Check out the article here

David Archuleta Exclusive Interview With CEEK VR!

Jan 16, 2019

David Archuleta came in second place on American Idol back when that still guaranteed a singer a career after the show, which is no longer necessarily a given. In the decade since he finished just behind David Cook, Archuleta has maintained a solid and devoted fanbase that has allowed him to continue to make music (he’s now released eight full-lengths) and tour the world.

Archuleta talks about the recording projects he’s recently released, what he’s working on next, and if he ever gets tired of talking about Idol.

You are preparing to head out on tour to promote your album Postcards in the Sky soon–what has you most excited to tour this record?

I toured a bit on this album last year and I’m excited to give another run to sharing these songs. I feel the messages still need to be shared with more people. It was my first official release as a fully independent artist and there was a lot that I was learning about marketing on my own. I’ve learned a lot from releasing a Christmas album, Winter in the Air, and hiring a new PR person who has been so great.

I want to get back to reminding people I did a pop album with messages to help them look at themselves and believe in them a little more. I was just talking about the Postcards album in my Instagram story yesterday and I got so many messages saying, “I didn’t know about this album,” and they were glad I mentioned it.

It has been a good lesson for me to realize I can’t just announce something once and then shy away from promoting myself because I miss the opportunity to share with so many fans who just happen to miss it in the sea of all the other posts and updates they get. I hope this will introduce the Postcards music to more people and impact them to be introspective in their lives and move forward with more hope and belief in themselves and in a greater force guiding each of us.

You just finished a tour based around your Christmas album though! How do you find the energy to tour this much?

Touring is like the perfect thing I need to keep pushing myself out of my comfort zone, and I’m receiving so much from it. I am an introverted person that doesn’t like attention, and it’s easy to stay inside and not get much done and think that I’m nobody special that will make a difference. Particularly during winter, I feel better under the covers doing nothing and can feel unmotivated, which doesn’t help me feel better about myself. A tour helps put pressure on me to work toward something, and when I get on the stage I realize that people really do want to listen to me and actually enjoy the music I create. It inspires me to think of more thoughts and stories to share in music. I see the faces of people as they smile or reflect during a song, but much more often than that, I feel the reciprocation of emotions they’re experiencing as they hear a message or melody.

I love music and performances because you give people an experience they just might remember and take with them as some motivation to get through a rough week, maybe busy with studies, work, or a family issue. It’s nice to let people have something that refreshes their mind like music and a show. It refreshes me too!

This latest album, Winter in the Air, is your second Christmas collection. What makes that time of year so special to you?

Christmas is my favorite holiday! I love the memories it brings back. The magic in the air, the lights, the tree along with other decorations… And probably above all, the carols. My mom had us Christmas caroling when I was four years old with Santa hats on, and as we got older she taught my siblings and I the carols in three-part harmony.  We do it today and it’s just as good as getting up and performing on a stage. They smile and you feel their joy. They might even sing along. The songs bring joy and so many speak of the greatest story ever told of baby Jesus’s birth, singing of peace on Earth and good will to men. I think a lot of people feel that peace as those songs are sung—I know I sure do.

You’re also already working on a new album as well–any idea when fans might hear a taste of that?

I’ve been writing already and I’m getting back into the studio next week for 2019. My goal is to try more fresh-sounding ideas, as I wasn’t too worried about being current on Postcards in the Sky. My goal is to have an album by fall and content to hear before that. I’m hoping to try some things out, even if it’s just one song on the tour to see fans’ responses. I need to step up my game though to be ready by then. I don’t mean just technically, but emotionally, because I hesitate a lot to share things before the grand reveal of an official album or single release. “What if they don’t like it?” “What if they get bored of it before it even comes out?” I just tend to be a worry wart.

You got your start on American Idol, but that was over a decade ago. Be honest–do you ever get tired of fans talking about it or people asking questions about it (like this)?

When I was more recently off the show it was more challenging to talk about it as it was pretty stressful and just reminded me of the stress every time I talked about it. I’ve worked through a lot of that now though. Now that I can step away from it, see from the outside looking in how much people really enjoyed watching it, it makes me happy to know even 11 years later that it brings back happy memories for them and that after all this time they’re still engaged in what I do. It makes me realize that as much work as I put into it—especially having to face my shy, introverted fright of being in front of 30 million people every week for six months to have them judge and analyze me– that I came out as an overachiever and did things that were difficult when I didn’t have faith in myself initially to get through it. It reminds me that I can do hard things and that stepping out of your comfort zone can make you a stronger person and expand your horizons. And, of course, having an audience to share what I create with and to connect with as a result of that has been a huge blessing.

What else can fans expect in 2019 from David Archuleta?

Well aside from the new album and the spring tour, I feel like I’ve put aside my original Spanish compositions for too long. I feel it’s time to shed some light on that project, so fans can be on the lookout for that.

From then to now… #10YearChallenge

That’s the wonderful changes I see in David Archuleta.

Otherwise, I see David as being the same:

Still cute and likeable

Sincere, forthright, genuine, heartfelt, unpretentious, real  …  Those are the endearing qualities that we Archies have been charmed and captivated by him all these 10 years.

And THAT VOICE!!

IT’S NEVER BIG ENOUGH WHEN IT COMES TO LOOKING AT DAVID ARCHIE!!   😀
“Flashback to soundchecking for my Christmas tour this past year! 🎤 What songs are you hoping to hear on my new tour this spring??”
It’s very touching the way David shows his concern about what his fans want to listen to.   Personally, I would ask that he sings ALL his albums.  You know, like run through ALL the songs he has ever sung.  Wouldn’t you?  Is it asking too much??  😛
