FOREVERMORE - DAVID ARCHULETA
There are times
when I just want to look at your face,
With the stars in the night.
There are times
when I just want to feel your embrace,
In the cold night.
I just can't believe that you are mine now
Chorus:
You were just a dream that I once knew,
I never thought I would be right for you.
I just can't compare you with anything in this world,
You're all I need to be here with forevermore.
All those years
I've longed to hold you in my arms,
I've been dreaming of you.
Every night
I've been watching all the stars that fall down,
Wishing you would be mine.
I just can't believe that you are mine now
Chorus:
You were just a dream that I once knew,
I never thought I would be right for you.
I just can't compare you with anything in this world,
You're all I need to be here with forevermore.
Bridge:
Time and again,
There are these changes that we cannot end.
As sure as time keeps going on and on,
My love for you will be forevermore.
I just can't believe that you are mine now
Chorus:
You were just a dream that I once knew,
I never thought I would be right for you.
I just can't compare you with anything in this world
As endless as forever,
Our love will stay together,
You're all I need to be here with forevermore.
(As endless as forever
Our love will stay together)
You're all I need
To be here with forevermore...
“DAVID ARCHULETA… FOREVERMORE’
- is a collection of all original Filipino classic love songs written and composed by some of the Philippine’s renowned songwriters like Ogie Alcasid, Louie Ocampo, Jay Durias, Jimmy Antiporda, Cecil Azarcon, among others…Why ‘Forevermore’? David is a much-loved international artist in the Philippines. This album is a fitting tribute not only to OPM (Original Pilipino Music), but to his countless fans who have remained loyal through the years. He wants his fans to know that he loves and appreciates them, wherever he may go… forevermore.”
With budding maturity, David Archuleta captures two years’ worth of introspection and reflection in The Other Side of Down. His latest pop album is the culmination of dozens of songwriting sessions, long days spent in the studio and nights in the air.
It is a follow-up to David’s 2008 self-titled platinum debut, which saw him work with established songwriters Iike JC Chasez, Jimmy Harry and Eman Kiriakou.
Not only that, it is a reintroduction to the Season 7 American Idol runner-up with the angelic voice whom 30 million television viewers fell in love with, and whose masterful performance of John Lennon’s Imagine captivated audiences world-wide.
Now however, an older, wiser David has emerged, but with faith still on his side and an eternally optimistic wide-eyed outlook. Hence, his latest album’s title. “For me, it’s about moving forward and making progress,” David explains. “I’m heading towards ‘the other side of down’, which is ‘up’.”
Born David James Archuleta on December 28, 1990, in Miami, Florida to Jeff, a jazz musician from Utah and Lupe, a salsa dancer and singer from Honduras, David was exposed to diverse music genres growing up in Utah, from Latin music on his mother’s side to jazz music from his father’s collection. He was particularly fond of and inspired by gospel, pop, R&B and “soulful” music, as well as Broadway musicals.
Fast forward to the present, and you see many sides to David Archuleta. There’s the youthful David, affectionately known as Archie, who often lets loose mid-interview giggles on TV and radio.
And there’s the insatiably curious David, who does not have all the answers but is resolved to keep searching for them. This is best encapsulated in the single Something ‘Bout Love off the current album, a S*A*M and Sluggo collaboration, about the perils and joys of being in love.
