Exactly
week ago I released the music video for my newest single on @YouTube! I can’t thank y’all enough for all the kind words you’ve been sharing with me about it! Happy you’re enjoying #Paralyzed 🙂
I’m sure the great comments were not said out of kindness, David. Paralyzed was beautifully written, beautifully sung and beautifully performed. You deserve every bit of praise and accolade!!
This past week, I had been quessing the lyrics. Guessing no more. After watching the vid below, I have a better understanding of the song’s depths.
The music , the singing and the production of Paralyzed were great. Wow .. the lyrics were more than great. This must be the darkest song David has written/sung/performed. This is the kind of song that can GRAB YOU and CAUSE YOU PAIN. You might even cry. When it ends, you feel a sense of release and freedom.
I’m glad David is entering into another genre of musical expression which I sincerely hope will continue to flourish and proliferate.
At this point for David, perhaps it is a kind of “growing up”. Perhaps it is a natural gravitation towards “deeper musical discovery”. Most likely, perhaps he has now conquered the fear of “revealing his true self”.
Whatever it is, it is I who truly want to THANK DAVID. He has struggled but he has persevered and plodded on. I used to bow to his talent. Now I also bow to his tenacity and fearlessness.
It is US who can’t THANK HIM ENOUGH, right?
It was great working with @brianpetch, who directed #Paralyzed, and the incredible dancers for helping make the music video come to life! http://youtu.be/XbrSTF3gGAk #FBF
This is the same cutie who sang CRUSH?? and TOUCH MY HAND??
The music and the vid – they are so different from what David used to do. It’s sensual .. arousing .. stimulating .. allusive .. dramatic with an element of darkness – the dancing movements representing chains of emotional bondage which eventually fall off to the floor at the end of the song. Very symbolic. Very modern. A joy to watch.
I suspect David wanted a personal challenge of writing something more edgy, more dark and more badass? And also a likewise video. To break the tradition. A breakaway. To be what he is now. In fact, what he has truly done is a BREAKTHROUGH.
For me, the bottom line is simply this: DAVID ARCHULETA CAN SING ANYTHING.
But there is also something called GROWTH. And David has certainly grown. Not just in age, as in all of us. I’m talking about his growth and development in his musical maturity.
David Archuleta has also at last found himself. The HIMSELF which he wants to be. His inner self.
Will his music in the future be more like PARALYZED? Or will he continue to change genres to satisfy his vast musical talents?
The response to this single is already cracking the net! and I’m elated to see that besides the ever-doting fans, the many, many hundreds of comments within less than 24 hours are coming from netizens/fans who have missed him from the Idol days and are excited about this “Come Back”song.
I am posting a few :

SOOOO GOOOOD!! Even though just a snippet
Thanks JR!!
Dare I do a ZOOOOOM! on this pic??!!???
More almost irresistable words of exclamation aside, I think this pic is more revealing than meets the eye! 😉 😉
David seems totally comfortable sitting there doing a zen stance. Looking very ZEN too!
I love that he is now extremely at ease with what he is, how he is…. etc etc… like his voice (he used to dislike it, remember? ) .. his looks … etc etc …
Now he is even physically baring it all .. not quite .. but you know what I mean!
Such a relief!! For us and for him too I’m sure. There was a time when his behaviour and thoughts of bashfulness and reticence were rubbing off on me. And infected me with signs of introverted insecurity!!
Hallelujah David Archie!!!
Has the fandom exploded?????!!!!!
