David at one of his deepest transcendences – heartfelt and intense. It is one of his most sincere revelations – what he feels – what he wants to say. All beautifully divulged by his voice and his music Bravo, Arch!! ♥

Is David well-deservedly resting after all the concerts?
or is he franticallty working on New Music?
He must be exhausted! And I am unfair. Shamelessly I admit I want his NEW MUSIC right now!!
If he is catching up with some snoozing time, bet he is keeping half a watchful eye on his MUSIC …
and the other half on US! 😀

FOD asks this question:
“Love the look or prefer David clean shaven?”
Not easy to decide, right??!! He looks good in both pics. But since most of us took to liking him when his face was as smooth as a baby’s bottom, I guess it takes a little time for us to cross the bridge and feel differently. Perhaps it’s not even easy at times to think of him as an adult. Because our enamour of him right at the beginning was the image of this very cute, very adorable, very darling of a young boy tugging at our heartstrings.
But he is now grown up!
As usual, I am inclined to dig deeper. If my memory serves me right, David never liked his voice or his looks that much. I believe he prefers to be edgier. To be more forefront of a trend. Rather than a cute and sweet kid. When it is his choice to pick a pic of himself for whatever publicity, he would go for the one where he is unsmiling .. where he is meditative .. where he just looks honest.
NOW, he is at that good place where he can afford to be selective and be his genuine self. Yeah, I believe he prefers to be this rugged guy – hairy and a little grungy (JUST a little ..) to inspire his need to create his own musical barriers. Or NO-barriers.
To be honest, I like him both ways. When he was clean and shaved, I did hope that he would one day be marginally more rumpled and let-loose. Now that he is moving in that direction, I know he is much less uninhabited. Perhaps he is preparing to fly. Even a little. I am elated.
At the end of the day, it is his voice and his connectivity to music that matter most to me. But, to David himself, his image and looks should be inspired and guided by the development of his artistry.
LOL! David tweets!
Baby Archie… but not the one you’re probably thinking of. (it’s me) 
Welcoming Meghan and Harry’s baby!
And our own Baby Archie has grown into this almost unrecognizable Adonis-like adult!
We have low resistance to David-stuff. This performance is no exception. An amazing eternally green song exquisitely sung by an infinitely adored voice.
Those superlative descriptions above are constantly used on this site for this dearly loved and cherished human. But today, in this vid, I’m STUNNED and STUMPED by something else. THE WAY HE LOOKS!
His smooth skin with rugged facial stubs .. his hair looking so in vogue .. his effortless stylish dressing .. his easy demeanour .. his unruffled elegance .. this newfangled, contemporary look has bowled me over and over .. do we have to fall in love with him all over again??!! 😥

In this new interview, @DavidArchie opens up to @Natenewsnow about new music, writer’s block, why he loves eastern Idaho and how he likes his #potatoes. https://www.eastidahonews.com/2019/05/david-archuleta-opens-up-about-new-music-writers-block-and-why-he-loves-eastern-idaho/ … #davidarchuleta #archie @davidarchuleta
NATE EATON, EASTIDAHONEWS.COM: You just wrapped up a tour. How was it?
DAVID ARCHULETA: It was awesome. I loved it. I did a couple of shows in Idaho – Idaho Falls and Boise.
EATON: Sold out shows, by the way. What is it about touring that fulfills you?
ARCHULETA: I love getting to watch people’s reaction to the music in person. I work hard to make sure the music is as best as I can. But to be able to watch people experience it is really cool. You see them having a fun time but sometimes, if it’s a deeper song, you see the wheels in people’s heads start turning and them processing it. I think it’s awesome. I hope it’s doing something good for them.
EATON: You not only perform, but you also write, don’t you?
ARCHULETA: I do. Everything that I release now I co-write, at least. I usually like to get a couple of other people involved because I feel I have a hard time finishing things. I can get like a verse and a chorus and a melody and then I’m like, ‘I can’t finish this.’ I feel like something great can come when you put a bunch of heads together because new things are created that you wouldn’t have had on your own.
EATON: What do you do when you get writer’s block? Is there an escape you have to recharge and get your brain moving again?
ARCHULETA: I don’t think I handle it very well. I’ll play a game or I’ll call one of my sisters just to get the frustration out. Or I like to go on a walk. I might get something to eat just to kind of get my mind off of what I’m overthinking. Usually my writer’s block comes from overthinking something so if I can stop thinking so much about it, if I come back with a fresh mind, then I see it was not so bad.
EATON: Do you have any new music coming out soon?
ARCHULETA: I do. the last thing I did was a Christmas album but I’ll be releasing a little more Christmas stuff this year. Before that I’ll be releasing some new pop songs which I’m really excited about. I hope people like it and it’s been fun doing it. It’s been fun making new music and trying to still have a message but make it more fresh, more current.
EATON: You’ve been home from your mission four or five years now, right?
ARCHULETA: I’ve been back for five years now. It’s weird cause it doesn’t feel like it’s been five years. It feels like it’s been three and a half years but five years – time flies for sure. I’m hoping to go back sometime. I was going to go this year. I don’t know if I can but it’s one of my goals. I miss my Chileans. They’re with me.
EATON: What would you say to the young men and women out there watching who want to be where you are? They want to perform and want to write?
ARCHULETA: I would say practice, experiment, give yourself topics to write about even if it’s just random. Give yourself some exercises to stretch your mind, stretch your creativity and I would say collaborate with other people because you learn from them. You learn from their techniques, from their style and perform wherever you can. Upload content and upload covers just to get yourself comfortable engaging with an audience and connecting with people.
EATON: Because this is Idaho, I have to ask. How do you like your potatoes?
ARCHULETA: I like them in the little squares – the breakfast potatoes. I do like tater tots as well, I like hash browns. I like french fries. I like baked potatoes. We just had baked potatoes last night for dinner. I just like potatoes.
EATON: Anything else you want to add?
ARCHULETA: Idaho has always shown me a lot of love so thank you, my neighbors. I always call them my cousins because I grew up here in Utah and Idaho’s just next door. I so appreciate all the support – especially in eastern Idaho because they always show some major love and it always means so much to me.
EATON: Hopefully we’ll see you up there again soon.
ARCHULETA: Definitely. I’ll be up there soon.
