Is David Archuleta Stargazing?

After the end of the Summer Tour, David has gone a little quiet.  Feeling a little lonesome, are we?   😛   😛

Well, this lovely pic should liven the gloom a little!   😀 

jahzeyHe’s a good one to have around. 👌

David looks rested.   I can see the look of contentment in his eyes.   He deserves some relaxing times with family and loved ones.   But don’t take my word for it.   I’m always reading a little too much into his eyes, his expressions etc.   Don’t we all????   😀

Back to the main topic.   New Music!   New EP!    If we can’t have some snippets (!!! yes pleeaase!!) yet, it would be great to have a name just so that we can yak about it.

Will the new EP be named ORION 2?   –  the continued plunder of the Great Hunter from Greek mythology?   Or will it be named after another bright group of stars in the celestial sphere?

Not only have the Archies been stargazing at our new reborn star (!!!), I believe the man himself has been stargazing too.   Searching another name for his new EP!

“Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.” – Henry Wadsworth

Such enticing words!   Blooms and forget-me-nots of the angels.   A description befitting the voice of our Mr. A!   A voice which has filled us with a kind of humbling awe, much like the effect the wondrous celestial constellations have on us earthlings when we lift our heads heavenwards and gaze into the nightskies!

Perhaps he should name it ORPHEUS.

As Orion is the Hunter, Orpheus is the Great Musician.   Orpheus was given the harp by Apollo, and it’s said that his music was more beautiful than that of any mortal man. His music could soothe anger and bring joy to weary hearts.   Sounds like somebody we know!   😉

Or CAPRICORN, David’s star sign.

Whatever it is,  I’M READY  for any name.   Just bring on the music, David!!!   😀

Seriously Amazing Impromptu Higher Ground!

Tonight’s band, The Strike, found a friend of theirs in the audience while they were performing so they asked him up on stage so we got to listen to….DAVID ARCHULETA!

AMMMAAAAAAZZZZINNNGGG!!

New Music Coming “Soon”!

A little late in chirping in with the New Music news!!   Nevertheless ..

 Marushka Media @MarushkaMedia

What. A. TOUR! Fall dates announced soon PLUS more music #news next week! https://twitter.com/davidarchie/status/881376525895053312 …

4:47 AM – 16 Jul 2017 · Nashville

WOAH!

The 2nd EP of the ORION Series!   (Or will it be another name?)   

More Concert dates too coming up!

“Soon” sounds Good!!

But “When”??

The Archies “Soon” and David’s “Soon” are sort of different!   😛    😀

But, to be honest, I don’t mind waiting a little longer.   I’m still revelling in the present EP.   Still needing time to pick myself up from the floor.   Yeah, bit by bit.   Piece by piece.

Still trying to De-numb from NUMB

To De-Slay myself from SLAY ME  (I mean, SAY ME)   😀

Still learning the great  lyrics of INVINCIBLE

Still practising David’s moves and door-knocking in UP ALL NIGHT   😀

So!   For a change, I don’t mind waiting.   Knowing that good things are right there – waiting for me.   Waiting for US!!   😀

(Thank you djafan for this awe-inspiring segment vid at the Troubadour!)

Jamming with David Archuleta

davidarchie Feelin’ the power.#anditwasallyellow

The Orion Summer Tour is over.   The Orion EP is circulating round the world and cyberspace.

My heart is still soaring.   My smiles still smiling.   My ears still tingling.   And my feet still tapping.  On an impulse, me and a couple of try-hard archies had a jamming session.   Yeah, attempting to belt out our best wannabe-archu-voices to sing the songs from the EP.   Quite a disaster, believe me.   Didn’t know more than half the lyrics!   Especially INVINCIBLE!  

So I decided to put all the EP lyric vids in a single blog for easy reference in the event of another jam!   😀

N U M B

Singing  NUMB was fun!  Especially the part where we imitated David in the Official vid when he sings :  “I don’t wanna feel nu-u-mb”!!   We just went crazy exaggerating the movement with our arms and legs and our very un-David-like vocal cords!   😀

As I said, singing INVINCIBLE was impossible.   We landed up in a vocal mess.   And lyrical mess.   More admiration for our idol-of-choice.   We did try to make up for it by swinging our hair like what David did.   Of course we landed in stitches instead.   😀

I N V I N C I B L E

Ohh .. such a beautiful song  .. singing SAY ME was a truly sensual experience.   All exaggerated of course.

“IneedyouIneedyouIneedyou .. to say me …!”   Everyone landed up in an emotional heap over each other with tears and sniffy noses interrupted by guffaws and self-pity.    😥   😀

S A Y   M E

UP ALL NIGHT  (the new ZERO GRAVITY !!) should become a David-classic – a must for parties and get-together’s.   Trying to imitate David’s dance moves was exhilarating!   Our favourite part was the physical motion of “knocking on the door  ..”   😀

U P   A L L   N I G H T

Looking forward to ORION Series 2 (and hopefully 3 and 4 and … !!)   More concerts!!   More new Moves!!   And More never-give-up Jamming Sessions with David Archuleta!!   😀

Everything Good Doesn’t Have To Come To An End

C H A D / TRUMAN‏ @ChadTrumanMusic

Tour is over. 14 cities & tons of laughs! @DavidArchie @KariSellards = perfect bosses. TY all! #davidarchuleta

We have come to the end of ORION‘s Summer Tour.   After a month’s giddiness of David-High, we now need to go through a major pull-back of withdrawal symptoms.

Yes I agree with her.    WE DO NEEDS MORE!   The Summer ORION Tour – I consider it to be David’s most successful string of  performances to date.   Not talking about it in terms of the money he made (we have no means of finding out, right? haha)

I’m judging by the quality of his singing, the relaxed confidence he exudes, the choice of songs, the standard of professionalism, the huge jump in improvement of his performances, the level of entertainment  …  I wasn’t even there at the venues to feel it first-hand  (thank God and all our lovely Archies for the videos)!   What more need I say?  DAVID ARCHULETA HAS NEVER BEEN SOOO GOOD!!   I should also add:   DAVID ARCHULETA HAS AT LAST ARRIVED!!

I’m not talking about the magnitude of craziness of AI when the “cute adorable boy” could do no wrong … when we were all bowled over.   I’m talking about the emergence of an artiste who has at last discovered what he is about, and what he can do.   (and we are still bowled over!   😀   )   With his God-bestowed talent.   With the wonderful opportunities he knows he has ahead of him which he can create by just being himself.   Based on all his past experiences and lessons learnt.

Would I dare say that I’m glad he went for his Mission?   That I’m glad he had a chance to expose himself to another kind of life with all its intricate differences?   Yes I totally dare.   😛

Although, as a fan, I hated his leaving for the Mission, and questioned every angle of his decision with anger and dismay, I now confess he had done the right thing.  AI gave us a lovable, innocent lad with an angelic voice.   Five years later, the Orion Tour gave us a chance to see a confident young man and his true Soul.

I see a true Orion Hunter who wants to conquer his Life, his Talent, his Fans.   Gotta admit I’m truly proud of him.

This vid shows David at one of his most confident moments.   Loud and clear and beautiful – not just a singer, also a confident entertainer.

SBL vid – how he works the crowd

Awesome video below.   One of the best fan vids I’ve watched.  As if you are right there at the Show. You can truly feel the energy and the vibes he creates.   A girlfan could not resist the vibration of the sensation any longer and had to run up the stage to squeeze the life out of him!   A truly David-proud moment for the envious Archies!   😀

Thank you carlosjr84vlogs for the video.

This energy can be better felt in the smaller venues such as the Troubadour, Soiled Dove and the Old Rock House in St Louis.   It was more personable to have a heart- to- heart proximity when listening to this True Soul.

Can you blame anyone when they want a piece of him?   To touch/grab a slice of heaven?   😀

Just like this!   It is another gesture David has re-created.   Re-connecting with his Archies by Touch!   He wants his fans back.   He wants his career back.   Everything is falling into place at last.  He now realises he can have his religious life and still simultaneouly be his Archies’ Hero.   😉   Hallelujah!   ♥

See the look of deep joy in his eyes in Safford

And his Fans are back too!   Perhaps slowly, definitely gradually and surely!

Mesmerised and Hypnotised

And the new Fans!   Fanboys!   Love ’em!

Yeah  ..  he is back alright.   I hear that there are more EP’s to come later in the year.   And probably all the EP’s compiled into an Album.   I’m truly looking forward to so much Archu-goodness.  Yeah ..  Life is good!   ♥

See you again soon, David!   Meanwhile, give those beautiful vocal cords a well-deserved rest.   😀

♥ DAVID ARCHULETA FOREVER! ♥

David at the Chicago Lions Club International Convention

Phew!   David is everywhere!   No sooner had he stepped out from the end of the Orion Tour, he was performing at the Lions Club International Convention in Chicago.   I was hoping he would take a rest   🙂

The good thing is David is continuing to impress.

Meet the African Children’s Choir. These kids, Tenor Edward Lee and I all performed at the Lions Club International Con.
