David Archuleta Makes His Last Studio Session in ‘Everybody Hurts’ Music Video
August 23, 2012 08:41:43 GMT
“Filmed a day before his two-year LDS mission trip, the Jed Wells-directed clip sees Archuleta singing in a studio with an orchestra that features producer Kurt Bestor.
David Archuleta sings his heart out in his new music video for “Everybody Hurts”. Covering R.E.M.’s 1992 hit song, the “American Idol” alum can be seen singing in a recording studio along with an orchestra, which includes producer Kurt Bestor. The studio scene was apparently taken the day before the crooner left for his LDS mission.
Also featured in the Jed Wells-directed clip is a touching scene of a father who looks miserable since his only daughter is about to get married and leave him. A female soldier who misses her young son at the battlefield and a young couple who must be separated since one of them has to move out of town are additionally seen in it.
Upon releasing his video on his official YouTube channel, Archuleta posted a note for his fans, making sure that he will make more music after he comes back from his two-year mission. “I hope you know that I never wanted to leave you guys without music, and will continue when I get back,” so he stated.
“Everybody Hurts” is included in the 21-year-old singer’s latest album “BEGIN.” which has been released in the U.S. since August 7.”

Today I got an email newsletter from David’s OS. Its an announcement about the new music video and where to buy the BEGIN. CD.
I watched it again, hoping to get a different perspective than the first times I watched. I have been struggling with the cut scene content of the video. Realizing that the director wanted to tell a story, I wonder why he didn’t choose a theme more fitting to the power of the song. For me the scenes depicted were a distraction away from the beauty of David’s singing as well as the visual of him in the studio doing his craft. The angst wasn’t deep enough.
The situations, except the soldier, were just too ordinary to be gut wrenching. I just didn’t feel it. I found the cut scenes to be too cheesy to fit the soulful sound of the song. I join the chorus of fans who would be happy if David sang and the cameraman filmed. We feel his depth and can see it in his face. We certainly hear it in his voice. I am a huge fan of BEGIN. It’s a step up in maturity that David has shown he is capable of. I only wish he had stayed away from trying to tell a story this time.

Abrra,
I actually agree with you. Everyone has their own ideas & interpretations of the songs on the album. Here are mine.
The lyrics reach out to those who are at the end of their rope for whatever reason, & feel as if they just don’t want to go on with their life because the pain is too much to bare. The song is about depression, the feeling of helplessness & hopelessness, perhaps after the loss of a loved one or just the hardships of life. It’s about letting those who are going through this pain that they are not alone and to hang on. So many people who are in such a state can’t see beyond their own despair and feel very much alone. The song is giving them another option.
Here are the lyrics:
When your day is long and the night
The night is yours alone
When you’re sure you’ve had enough of this life, well hang on
Don’t let yourself go
Everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it’s time to sing along
When your day is night alone (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go (hold on)
When you think you’ve had too much of this life, well hang on
Everybody hurts
Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts
Don’t throw your hand. Oh, no
Don’t throw your hand
If you feel like you’re alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you’re on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you’ve had too much of this life to hang on
Well, everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
And everybody hurts sometimes
So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
(Hold on, hold on)
Everybody hurts
You are not alone

And I meant to add, the video does not depict what the song is about, IMO.
David’s scenes in the studio are the best part of the video because he is showing the angst in his voice and his expressions, never opening his eyes and never, not even at the end of the song, did he smile.

Abrra, SF,
I agree. And I think there were a couple of things they could have done to fix those issues.
The man could have been holding a photo of his wife who is gone and the daughter comes in and sits next to him, puts her arm around his shoulder, and looks sadly at it too, and hugs him with a small sad smile. (take comfort in your friends)
The couple, when one leaves, a friend could have come up to the sad one left behind with an arm around the shoulders. (take comfort in your friends)
The soldier, as she cries, her fellow soldier could have just reached out and put his hand over hers in understanding. (take comfort in your friends)
They tried to make it have a happy ending, which didn’t exactly work for me.
Anyway, just my thoughts.

Actually, I find it very confusing as to the approach the producers/director of the video should have taken. Apparently even the writer of the song was unclear as to the actual meaning —
Before David Archuleta headed out on his two-year mission with The Church of Latter Day Saints, he recorded a cover of REM’s “Everybody Hurts,” complete with an orchestra.
“I hope you know that I never wanted to leave you guys without music, and will continue when I get back,” Archuleta said on his website about the cover, which appears on his recently released album, BEGIN.
The video, which features the American Idol runner-up recording in the studio, focuses on those going on their own missions from a young couple separating for college to an armed servicewoman serving in the Middle East to a father whose daughter is getting married.
The original by REM off of their 1992 album, Automatic For the People, was also meant to be optimistic and written for those contemplating suicide, telling those struggling to never give up.
Though Michael Stipe has always been evasive about the song’s meaning and known to change the lyrics of his songs on a regular basis, in 2001 the Nevada Assembly praised the band for “encouraging the prevention of teen suicides,” specifically mentioning “Everybody Hurts.”
Guitarist Peter Buck did admit to the BBC in 2005 that even he didn’t really know what Stipe intended to say with the song.
“I remember Michael saying something to the effect that he wanted younger people to not have to worry about metaphors,” he said. “The only metaphor is in the bridge: ‘throw your hand’, which is a card-game metaphor.”
No matter what the song is about though, the band understands that “Everybody Hurts” is a song that is very meaningful to many different people.
“We’ve tended to license the song out for free to charity,” Buck told the BBC.
The song was recently used as a charity single for Haiti after the devastating earthquakes that happened there in 2010.

On a different note: I’ve been listening to TOSOD today, and songs from his first album. I’ve been listening so much to Forevermore and BEGIN that I almost forgot how much I love those songs!
TOSOD is almost the flip side of BEGIN. (Kind of funny when you think of that name of that album.)
BTW His song … Things Are Gonna Get Better, this video would have worked perfectly for that.

Abrra, you don’t find anguish in a wedding? That father seems so depressed over his daughter’s marriage, I can only assume that groom looks much nicer than he is in action.
It is so true that the best parts of the video are the ones with David in them. That song is now a favorite because I have seen him sing it. Funny how that works. Just like the rest of the things in my life, I kind of skip over all the parts that do not contain David. Ever since Angelica pointed out to me the definition of extraneous is anything that doesn’t pertain to David I have no problem with that
Like Steno, I still find the video captivating, and like MT I am grateful. Very grateful

Points are well taken. The stories depicted onscreen for the most part, do not do justice to the power in the depth of David’s vocals. The teenage couple was perhaps an appeal to David’s younger fans. Although no comparison to being in the depths of despair of losing a loved one, if I remember correctly, at 18, it really does feel as if your world is falling apart when your boyfriend leaves for college.
I would have much preferred an uncut complete video of David recording “Everybody Hurts”. In the absence of that, I’m taking from the video what I want, what I need…the chance to watch David sing and record. Like all of you, I’m so appreciative that he let us in on his recording session; that’s always been a dream of mine.

My thought watching this the first time? I loved it. Watched it a bunch more and still did.
Then I had a pretty sad day today. One of those I can’t stop crying days. Pretty much living through an Everybody Hurts thing here. 😦 And I started to think that…the video was not representing what I heard in David’s voice. Or what I see in his face. It looks like he “went there”.
But then again, it’s a music video. It doesn’t have to be Hamlet. So I’ve been back & forth on it.
But I DID send it to one (actually 2) of my sisters. I just read her email back to me. I even forgot I sent it, tbh.
Guys, she used the word addicted.
So nonfans are using the word addicted. I should probably warn her right now.
Oh, the other sister? The one I NEVER even speak D’s name to? (don’t ask) She asked me why I didn’t warn her to prepare the Kleenex. She was sobbing.
In conclusion:
I think the true fans, us, are harder on this video than others. Maybe because we understand David better. We feel his heart on this. He meant for us to.
I hope this ramble makes sense, it’s never good to be online and commenting when one is exhausted.

Oh, Betsy. I’m so sorry today was such a bad day for you. I hope tomorrow is better. {{{hugs}}}
I’m really glad that the non-fans are liking the video so much. I hope it’s catching. If it brings in more fans, then it has done it’s job.
About us being harder on it than others, that could be true for the reasons you said. I kind of flip flop on it too. Maybe it depends on my mood. I’ve been in a not too great place lately so maybe that’s why the happy endings didn’t feel right to me.
But I will say that for some strange reason, I like the song even more after seeing the video. I can’t seem to stop listening to it even though it wasn’t one of my favs before. But IDK, that could just be because I tend to love anything I SEE him sing.

I recently read an article in which the topic was “art” and what constitutes “art”. The writer held that art happens when the artist describes through his talents a truth or story or idea that has come to him and that he wants to communicate with others. The ‘others” in their turn see and read into the art what it means to them. The writer spoke of how the artist can obstruct this process by detailing too narrowly what they were communicating – that is, by not allowing the observer to create and enjoy their own individual “story”, their own experience with the art that makes it meaningful to them in their own life. He explained that each person receives art (true art) into their own heart and mind in as many different ways as there are people. And as each person receives it unto themselves, and it becomes part of them – the art lives on and grows beyond the artist.
That is what I bring to art: myself. That is my gift to the artist in return for their helping me to see beyond the mark: the artist sets the stage and performs, it is my own heart, however, that takes that performance and makes it live beyond that one moment.
Thanks you to all of you for sharing. I love what I see in your hearts.

The thing that I noticed the first time I watched the video was it looked like the little boy and his dad joined the mom in the war zone with all the rock along side of the road. All the scenery looked like where she was fighting. I know that it was filmed in Utah, but I know that Utah has trees and flowers. The couple had me puzzled somewhat too. At first, I thought they were married and she was leaving him, but they looked too happy for that. Then I figured it out she must be leaving for college. But usually all your family is there when you’re leaving for school. Maybe David just sang the song and Kurt Bestor and the video producer done the rest of it. That David doesn’t even know how it turned out. I still love it since I’ve watched it about 25 times. Mainly watch the David part!!!♥

Bluesky,
That really is true about art. I’ve been reading around and people are interpreting it different ways. Each sees something different, something that hits home for them. Each one is a valid viewpoint, but different none the less.
I guess what I expected was a depiction of my own interpretation on video, and it wasn’t, so it kind of threw me off. I felt a disconnect because what stood out to me most in the song was the part about “if you feel like you’re alone” “you’re not alone” “take comfort in your friends” and that didn’t really show in the video in the way I expected it to.
But for others who hear something different in the song, it fits perfectly. So I am trying to see it with a different viewpoint. I do like the video and have grown to really love the song after watching it.
And like the rest of you, I really love the David parts. ♥ I tend to repeat those. 😀

Well, alot to get caught up on here! Hi everybody! Great comments I have been reading….
My computer mouse wouldn’t let me get on the computer the past couple of days…froze on me.Wallymart for me this morning. This one is out of control, running all over the place haha.I like it, RIP old mouse.
I love the video, because David is in it♥ and in the recording studio where I always wanted to see him!
That thrills me to no end.
I think what they did was done very well. There are so many scenarios that would have fit. The bullying theme could have been used for instance.Darker themes, such as death, and complete despair,too depressing… but what they used( to me) was just fine. Hurt is hurt, no matter what the degree when you are the one experiencing it. whether its a Dad, giving away his “little girl”. a soldier missing her little boy,(I love the part when he is looking at his mommy so happy♥ or a young couple who are missing each other. I do agree that the look on Davids face at the end, no smiling, makes the happy endings a bit out of place, but I think David himself was probably feeling sad and happy mixed emotions, just prior to his leaving everything and everyone he loves behind,to go on his mission.
Now, these pics I see above me! wow, just beautiful.
OK going in to watch video again. If I am not out by tonight, for chat,..someone throw a rope down the rabbit hole…. will ya?

Was out carousing last night on Youtube comments for “Everybody Hurts”. Seems the non-fans are less critical of the video than the fans. Go figure!
I saved a few, well, more than a few. LOL
“I am not a fan of David’s by any stretch of the imagination. Or at least I wasn’t until I heard this song. Simply Amazing.”
“♫ worth crying for :(( so touched..”
im already addicted……:)”
“That is the most beautiful, emotion filled voice I have ever heard. I got the chills several times and had tears in my eyes. David Archuleta is AMAZING.”
“I will never tire of hearing this man’s voice. Never. Una voz sin igual.”
“yes indeed! he has an angel voice, I love him!!!!”
“this video made me feel the resolution to be a better person :)”
“He is the best singer of this age. Not a soul can even come close to him. He not only sings but he shares his heart with all of us.”
“made me cry………. a very special video 🙂 <3"
"That's what we call singer. He has a passion on his work."
"When David was on American Idol and the next few years following, I was obsessed. I must admit, the last year or so I stoped and didnt really listen to his music too much anymore. I seriously had no idea he came out with this new album. I came across this video, and the whole time I was watching I was crying. I have been going through a tough time, and David did it once again, he helped me though something. I cant thank him enough, and I cant believe I ever stopped listening to him.<3"

I’ve been reading here and everywhere about EH MV and the reactions run from super love to disappointment. Most disappointment coming from fans, isn’t it ironic? I believe there’s a song to that effect lol. I love the video. Would I like it to be all David? Absolutely. Could there have been better story lines? Definitely. Did the MV reflect the angst we see in David? No. There are so many degrees of hurt that I couldn’t begin to say who’s hurt hurts the most. I was surprised that even the writer of the the song wasn’t sure of who or what was the target. But since David is away I didn’t expect any of this ever, never thought it was possible. I’ll take it and love it.
I’m enjoying the reaction of the world. I have not seen this type of media attention since maybe Crush. Of course the US is a little behind. Though I was surprised to see many radio stations and idol news posting the video. The world is posting this video in all sorts of social media, in some of the most surprising places. Latin and South America have been incredible in posting. I wanted to post every mention but way to many. All impressed. This is my favorite comment I saw in several places, “David is sounding and looking good.” Yep he sure is.
Hoping for more videos from BEGIN. with David glimpses to keep the interest going. I have a feeling we’re in for more surprises.

Calling All Archies!! Would you like to be involved in a small and fun service project for David? Here is the idea** Write a short letter to David** Begin the letter with just saying hello (don’t write anything else) ~then say you just want to ask him a few questions. Next make a short list of fun questions. (Nothing too personal) >Example: Are you getting use to it being cold during months it is warm in the US? Do they have some of your favorite foods there, like almonds? Are there lots of mountains around you? Do you see more dogs or cats? Lol (Anything “be creative” and it’s ok if we all ask the same ones that would be even more fun!) Then end the letter with this same question: Is there anything I (or we) can do for YOU? If you wish ask: Is there anything you or your fellow missionaries need? Finally say: Do you see a need amongst the people around you that I (or we) can help with?
The idea being we let David know we care about him and his fellow companions as well as those he is serving, not that we are just thankful for his music. (He Knows we are!!) Please do not mention anything about music so these letters serve a different purpose. Plus the fun questions are sure to make him smile or laugh!! Who knows we might get a tweet to answer one or two if we are lucky.
This is to reach out to mark his 6 months serving his mission. How great will be his joy at seeing all of us asking him some fun questions but ending with asking him if He or Others Need anything; asking if we can serve him not just thanking him or telling him things. That is the idea anyway, if you wish to participate write your letters and mail to his Florida PO Box ON September 28th. That way they are all post marked with the same 6th month date he left. ♥ Thank you all and pass this along!!

70-Sky-glad you heard her say they were moving…I didn’t hear it and that makes so much more sense.
I have a picture mousepad. I bought a mousepad on clearance where it has a slip pocket in it where I can change the picture. On the bottom it says “Memories”. Of course, David’s is in there!!
#91 I send a card or letter every few weeks and always talk about anything and everything that is going on…kind of like I would to a grandson. When he has released anything new, I always thank him and let him know how I love and appreciate it. Myself, I would feel odd asking him anything since I know that he can’t respond. That’s just my opinion. I will send a card at that time to mark the 6 months, that wil be the 1/4 mark!!♥
Dayzee, Love your neck picture…and what a picture!
Had a lady come over after church and showed her bunches of videos and all the pictures I have taken at all the concerts. Kind of a David Archuleta day! ♥I Will have to send a picture of my DA end of the room when I get it done. My son has taken over the room for his computer while he is here, for now. Here’s hoping he will get the opening position in Oct. so he can live fulltime back in TX again!

fyi, this is newton 3rd law at work. the speed of the truck moving forward has an equal effect on the fan blades, turning them at high speeds. think of a wind mill, its the same concept. the fan was not running on electricity, but moving from the speed of the truck. i thought it was a clever visual effect for the video.

Abrra,
Thanks for the link to the chats with young David. I enjoyed reading it. I found the comment about him not being able to yell because of his paralized vocal chord very interesting. (and sad. It hurts my heart for him everytime I think of him losing his voice) Maybe that’s why he’s so soft spoken, years of being unable to raise his voice. That and his sweet nature of course.
Vocally, it’s such a contrast between his speaking voice and the way he belts out a song.
Dja,
Hope you had a great time. Did you take that sunset photo? It’s gorgeous!
And thanks to Dja & Bebe for bringing the comments from the video over. I like the ones from those who are big fans, but I especially like the comments from the non fans who are surprised and now realizing what a tremendous talent he has. It’s also nice to see some are re-discovering David.
