I Had a Dream Last Night
Posted by amb4da on Sunday, May 22, 2011
“I had a dream last night…I didn’t know just what it all might mean….heyyyeyy”…
Sunday Morning, May 15… David shows up in a dream. A rare occurrence, only the 2nd time in my three-year obsession with all things Archuleta and feeling so real, like a parallel life taking place on another plane, I decide to jot it down to reflect on what perhaps my subconscious is telling me today…
I’m at a house party in the midst of people meandering about. The two Davids show up and start rehearsing at a piano. Both are sick with colds and seem a bit road-worn.…still they struggle to practice a mutual project. They seem so “normal,” not the famous public personas…just two guys working on music, even uncharacteristically grumbling in their effort to sound good while feeling sick. They pound out a tune on the piano…it’s ” Crush”…it sounds edgier, slower, more forceful and dramatic (Cook’s influence, I think to myself). In theory, the arrangement should be all wrong for the sweet song about young infatuation but in fact, it sounds so good. I’m across the room. There’s a moment Cook leaves and David’s sitting alone, frustrated with not feeling up to par. It feels natural to go talk to him, not as a fan, just two people at the same party on common ground. So I walk over to him, wanting to lift his spirits and let him know, “That sounded great, what you did on the piano.” He looks up and smiles, is his usual polite, receptive self, easily connecting over the music. I go on, trying to make sense. “Those stronger…what were they? Chord progressions? Sounded great!” He laughs as I quickly disclaim, “I don’t mean to sound like a musical expert. Anyway, it just sounded so good.” He thanks me and we chat more…at which point Cook returns and they turn to leave. I reach out to David, to get his attention before he goes, suddenly urgent, and more as a “fan,” I randomly say, “David, we’re always going to want more, more, more from you…we never get enough….but please know we just want you to be OK, first and foremost.” It’s understood, and we wave goodbye with some words about seeing him at an upcoming show…
It’s a simple dream. I like the easy exchange in a natural setting. I think to myself, Cook was there because of an interview I’d seen online the day before where David is asked if he and Cook ever plan to collaborate.
But it was David’s well-being and the sense of urgency in my last words to him that stayed with me as I woke. Funny timing, when just days later it took on more meaning after seeing two videos that also left an impression with me, and apparently many other fans too. His soul-bearing, candid ASCAP interview, where we witness, not surprisingly, the effect the past few years in the post-idol grind have had on him, leading him to wisely step back, take a breather, live life and chart new courses for himself. Then the short video message, taped after a promo for Utah’s Entertainment and Choice Awards, where David speaks to his fans a heartfelt thanks for sticking by him as he sorts out life. (ohhh, *pang*, David…of course!)
How weird it must be to start out on a journey, “just David,” a kid who loves to sing, and now have all these fans he appreciates but also feels he has to manage and maintain, while just living his life! Suddenly, just like in the dream, I want to reach out and let him know__please don’t feel any pressure out here David, to be anything other than yourself and who you need to be, for you. While musically we might always “want more, more, more and never get enough, first and foremost we just want you to be OK, whatever you decide to do, or not do. It’s your authenticity as a human being your fans respect as much as your wonderful talent and music. I think many understand and support your need to have a life as well as a career on your terms…ones that satisfy you and bring you the most joy. In fact, that makes the best sense to me, to maintain balance and sanity in a crazy business, while using your talent in ways that matter most to you…and consequently to others. You are right, once again. Shoot from the heart, always.
So while I have lots of anticipation about what might be next for you, I have no set expectations, timelines or demands of you, David. Feel free and follow your heart…and for whenever we may get to share the music and follow along…thank you.

Amb4da, your post today brought tears to my ears. It very much reflects how I feel, and I guess I have a fear that he knows how much we want and feels that pressure to compromise his own needs for those of his fans.
His vlogs help though, don’t they? He’s so strong and self-aware.

amb4da, what a beautiful article. Like KathyH said (#2) this is so much the way I feel. David needs to know that, while we want what we want, we are willing to let him deliver it to us in his own time. We want what is best for him…he has given his all for the last three years, and it really is time for him to sort thru all of it and come up for air. It’s time to become who he wants to be and deliver what he thinks is best for him and what shows who he really is. In that, I think he has done a dang good job of showing us ‘who’ he is. That’s why we are all still here. That’s why there have been conflicts with business and label managements. They just didn’t ‘get’ how good it can be if ‘good’ prevails. I’ve felt, as I’ve scanned thru the AI season this year, good is prevailing. The two teenagers left for the finale are good, wholesome kids. They’ve stuck to their ideals and haven’t fallen into the loud, screaming, out-of-control stage stomping, and skimpy and wild outfits to show who they are. They have remained true to themselves and I love that. It’s been a dejavu of AI7. Of course, the artistry of David is not there!!
Thanks for your heart-warming words.

Amb4da, Love the article!! You described your dream so well, and it really does represent how so many of us feel about him. Your comfort level in talking to him shows how close you feel to him. And the way you told him how much you care for his well-being and happiness could be repeated by most of us here as well. And yes, we always want more, but we try to understand and be patient when he needs time. And I really hope that, if he sees comments begging for concerts or tour, he sees it in a positive light. I’d like to think he would be comforted that there are fans out there that love him and are waiting for him. ♥
Angelica, Great artwork there. 🙂 You are one talented lady.
I didn’t get a chance to comment on the pics posted late last night so:

Amb4da, what a wonderful article to wake up to this morning! I, too, love the artwork—just georgeous. #3, Tawna21, this is so true: “The two teenagers left for the finale are good, wholesome kids. They’ve stuck to their ideals and haven’t fallen into the loud, screaming, out-of-control stage stomping, and skimpy and wild outfits to show who they are. They have remained true to themselves and I love that. It’s been a dejavu of AI7. Of course, the artistry of David is not there!!”
This is exactly how I feel. Those two kids have had each other to lean on for support through the whole Idol thing, probably having to go to school just like David. The difference is that David had to do the school thing all alone on his season—-he was so much younger than any of the other contestants—-he didn’t have someone his age to support him. This at a time in a young person’s life where friends are so important. I’ll bet that was really difficult for David. I hope he’s taking time now to do some kid things—friend things.
Also, is it me, or does it seem like the show this year has portrayed the parents of these two young people as saints, while on season 7, they did everything they could to put down David’s dad? Would they have done this if there had been other parents around for their under-aged children during David’s season? Just because David was the only contestant who had to have a parent there? Don’t tell me that Scotti and Lauren’s parents are any less involved that Jeff was—-I won’t buy it.
I think David has had a number of difficult issues to deal with along the way. He is one classy young man—-he handles it all with style—at least publically. What a treasure.

I had a dream about him approximately 2 years ago so it's hazy. All I remember is that he was on a movie set or in a TV studio rehearsing a scene. I was there to watch. Hey, maybe I was actually a fly on the wall. LOL I can't remember much else, darnit.

Sometimes when David is out of sight he is out of mind in the sense that we as fans (me included) build up huge expectations as the months or years go by. Yet when you see David in person – the shock hits you that he is simply a young man trying to do the best job he can for himself and his fans. As you said “Just David – wanting to sing” has now become David – with a career to manage. That’s a lot of pressure for a young person to handle well, and with tons of grace to spare. David – just follow your heart, we’ll be there for you.

A Night to Remember: Utah’s 2011 Entertainment & Choice Awards Show @ The Salt Palace – 5/20/2011
TU Host, Mateo speaks with American Idol (Season 7) star, David Archuleta, about his experience getting his music and voice into the “limelight”. Archuleta says, “It was amazing that the opportunity presented itself the way that it did. It allowed me to jump into the national music scene in a way I never thought I could.”
When asked what might be next in his career he went on to explain that he’s about to move to Nashville to start work on a new project that he’s really excited about. Good luck David and thank you for representing Utah’s music scene!

Enjoyed your dream sequence and the resulting interpretation as it related to how we as fans understand David’s journey. His first concern ought to be his musical direction and what he wants to focus on with his songwriting. I will dare to say, we fans will take care of the rest by supporting him with encouragement and buying his music. I like to think of fans as an extended family for David. No matter the city or country where he appears, we are there for him.
Excited to know he is heading to Nashville for a project. Emifriend get yourself a job at Trader Joes! Your dream is coming true 😉

Lately I dream a lot of taking a plane to somewhere and checking into a hotel, then shopping and finding my way around and going back to my hotel to get ready. Over and over I have this same dream of travel and preparation for some event about to take place. Withdrawal from tour deprivation probably. 😆
Myrtle Beach is just days away. So happy for those going and happy to be one of the many who will be fanticipating the videos coming to us that night. Ah, good times yet to come and won’t it be fine?

One more thing before the flying monkeys get here—and I get ready for bed.
May I say how proud I am of David, I would venture to say in those alumni videos that he is probably THE most recognizable one there ( I’m bragging –but its my nickel). But, he humbly toodles his way around — everyone else (IMO) is trying to get their face on camera any chance they can get– and talk as loud as they can to draw attention. All the guys either have shades on or watches bigger than alarm clocks–or their shirts open in front down to their navel.
Not our David–and he waits to be invited into a conversation and isn’t hangin on anybody. He’s just quietly there!!
Good night Abrra

amb4da, you lucky dog. I’ve never gotten to see him in concert or had a dream. I feel deprived. Thanks for sharing. I, too, feel the same about wanting the best of everything for him.
Had to laugh at what a fanboy Matt Rogers was in that AI reunion video. Of course, there was that slip of the tongue, calling David, Adam. Nerves no doubt, but later in the interview, when they accidentally got another shot of David, Matt Rogers was getting a picture with him. Complete FANBOY. I remember the interview Matt did with David’s Grandpas on Finale night. I guess he was smitten.
I totally agree with Dakgal, David is just “quietly there”, but people gravitate toward him. He just draws them into his orbit. Who could resist.

He will just happen as he brings happiness and hope to the world. 🙂

Yes, David is just “quietly there”. That’s our boy. So humble. Just talking about the show and how it brought them together. The others are desperatly trying to get their faces in the interviews and be in the spotlight. Actually they are normal acting artists but they recognize David’s popularity and say good things about him. I think that David went there so that he could see his old pals and meet some AI contestants that he admires. Kris seemed like a very humble person too. Nice guy. No wonder David likes him so much. That ninja move is hilarious! How many times have we seen David do that? I can think of at lest four.

On a more serious note…two weekends ago, my son-in-law met up with over a thousand of his church members to help with the aftermath cleanup of the tornados in Alabama. He and the crew cut down damaged trees. I asked him about the rest of the debri. He told me that it looked like someone took everything in the path of the tornados, put it all into a blender and then opened the lid with the blender still running. It’s going to take bulldoziers to clean it up and then it will be burned. Nothing is salvageable. He said that the people were still in shock. He expected the people to help with hauling the trees off their property but they had just given up. So sad.

But, sometimes we get awestruck and words leave us and we just can’t find the words but I will try. I have a feeling that there will be several people posting messages for this concert.

I will say Lauren was my favorite singer all season…but what was up with the Idol-pimping last night…it was uncomfortable to watch, kiss of death as you say, and felt so contrived like "Uncle Nigel" and company are up to something. But I still feel she may win it. (haha…tho', I've been wrong before.)

Interesting Idol last night. My husband said the same thing when we watched it–Lauren will either get the sympathy vote, because of her voice problems, or she got the kiss of death. Personally, I liked what she did last night with her performances. You could tell her voice wasn’t 100%, but her spirit was at 110%. I almost felt like Scotty was more in her corner for her than he was in his own. She needs the Idol umbrella to jump start a career for her, Scotty is on his way without Idol. Hopefully, if he doesn’t win, he’s smart enough not to sign a contract with Jive/E19 (Scotty, contact David Archuleta for advice) THAT can become the kiss of death. IMO

Ok Abbra…dummy me for not knowing you were joking! haha
Actually, the bathroom is the safest place to be. Any inside room in a basement is the best and that’s where my downstairs bathroom is.
Can’t wait for pics of David tonight. David could of been the only entertainment on AI tonight and I’d been happy!!

I know it can be, but do you want to risk being stuck there? That was my point. I’d go to a shelter if it was me 🙂

Abrra the pics are gorgeous!GAH! Dja is so lucky to be there!
Loving that jacket he has on, and the shirt, ok and the pants and the shoes
are those boots or boot shoes or booties, or sneakers or what. They look comfortable.
That face, that stunning black hair. I can hardly stand it.
So,all of you going to Myrtle Beach….are you still breathing??

Abbra..there aren’t any shelters to go to. You just take safety precautions in your own home. And that’s where they say is the safest place to go. It’s harder on people without basements, they just go to an inside room which is usually the bath room. And usually get in the bath tub, maybe with a mattress over them.
Didn’t really care who won tonight, they are both good. But gave Lauren the edge since she’s a girl…sounding a little like ST! haha

#128, that picture is with Jimmer Fredette’s brother TJ. He’s a rapper. Also, Jimmer is only 6’2″, so that’s only 8″ taller than David. I think TJ is close to that size. So funny to me that anywhere David goes, he’s the star attraction. Love it.

Jan and Skydancer, I am glad you are OK. I know what you mean, Jan about not having a shelter close by. I don’t have a basement either and have to go into a closet. I store canned goods in that closet so I was thinking that I should take them out of there at least until tornado season is over. I live in Georgia and in the pathway of all storms coming from Alabama.
Well, I was right about the “kiss of death”. I am not surprised. I actually didn’t care who won after Haley left but I know a lot of people here in Georgia wanted Lauren to win.
DJA, I am so happy for you. Thanks for the photos.

I’m going to take an educated guess and say that I don’t think we’re going to hear David’s performance. Dja just texted that Alison is performing now and there was no mention of it on the radio station.

That Crazy will put you over the edge! It was Crazy and more. Are you kidding David! Words cannot describe it. The notes that flow out of his mouth. A voice that is a musical smorgasbord. Not even talking about the attitude.

Everytime he sings Crazy, he leaves me breathless. But this Crazy is quite different.
He has transcended the perfectly technical aspect of his singing. In its place, he risked sounding more vulnerable… more raw…
And the result is that he came as more real. Sublime pathos.
For me this is his best rendition of Crazy, so far Well, of course that excludes the Hollywood version that we may never see 🙂
For people going to MB – hope you realiza how lucky you are for being the 1st batch to see his maiden all out venture with his new band. He said he will do some of the familiar music but put a twist to them and then some new sound… YAY!
