David Archuleta ~ I Will Always Return
Posted by pocoelsyforarchie on Tuesday, September 11, 2012
I hear the wind call your name.
It calls me back home again.
It sparks up the fire – a flame that still burns.
Oh it’s to you I’ll always return.
As I was watching “Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron” on a lazy Saturday afternoon in July with my daughter, this song came on!!! Man, it shook my world a little bit …ok…a lot!!! I realized how much I miss David!!! I can relate almost everything to him!!! I’m nuts!! I know! haha. He’s only been gone a few months, but somehow he’s just like a close family/friend to me and I believe to many of us as well.
“Spirit” the stallion has similar characteristic as David, though not exactly the same. As the song progresses, the lyrics are really in sync with our situation, both on David’s part and ours. I’m pretty sure that while he’s so super busy with his mission, a part of him misses our excitement-smile-scream-fan-boying and girling on our parts while he’s performing on his stage !! It’s so evident how we all miss him and want the clock to run faster. 🙂 Our love and thoughts are all over the fansites and YouTube.
The guy has captured our hearts and we have captured his. To wait for him and support him are just about normal and natural things for us to do. He’s generously invited us into his life, so we’ll definitely be here as long as he needs us. That’s what friends are for, right !?
The support and yearning words from the fans, David’s love and trust in us, and a wishful thinking on my part inspired me to make this vid for both David and us. Hope you like it.
♦
I encourage you all to watch this fantastic animation “Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron.” It’s fun and inspiring and the songs by Bryan Adams are outstanding!!!
Thank you all. 🙂

Pocoelsy, I love what you’ve written. These four sentences completely sum up, for me, where I’m at in all of this. Thank you for finding the words to explain it. —>

And your video!! Dang!! It’s awesome!!! I felt myself floating thru it with the song you chose. It did tear at my heart strings, though. **missing David**

I had a very different birthday today.(9-11). When I went to work, hospice held a memorial service for 2 residents that passed in the last few weeks. We sang Amazing Grace and Lean on Me. When I got back to my shop, I had to play David’s version of Lean on Me and Ave Maria. Went to Chile’s this evening with family for dinner. Was fun but not at the right “Chile”. haha

Thank you all for taking the time watching and reading this little project of mine and sorry if this vid make you guys a little sad but I’m glad you like it 🙂
Sky #6 My inspiration comes from David and you all, as long as there’s “us” I don’t see myself stop making vid for David and us fan anytime soon, I need to express myself otherwise I’ll burst hahav and this is a way for me since I’m not good with words (not that I’m soo good with making vid either, still a lot of room for improvement!!) …hehe… but new materials are hard to come by these days !!

Pocoelsy,
Your video gives me the same warm feeling I get from the flame we set up on the right sidebar, that burns for David until his return. It makes me feel inspired, hopeful, peaceful and happy. Bryan Adams (“Heaven”) is one of David’s musical influences so the song makes an even deeper connection.
Don’t underestimate your skills, Poco. You chose a very appropriate song and matched it with footage that tells the story of the song. And you did an excellent job.
By the way, where did the footage of David running come from?
Please keep making videos! And please continue to share with us here at The Voice.

It may seem like small exposure, but this event is a worldwide extravaganza. It’s by invitation only to the 500 (?) or so bloggers from a range of internet interests. I’d like to think that seeing David’s face up there may have made a light go off in someone’s head and they will mention him in their blog.

Well Sony Music Group starting distributing David Archuleta‘s new album BEGIN. with their own packaging through out Asia now, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines(through Ivory Music) and Taiwan too. Sony Music Taiwan is brilliant with the advertisement for the album BEGIN. up on their Facebook Page with the cover page photo as per above picture!
What is I believe a very great marketing strategy promoting the album is the gift that comes with the album, a set of handsome postcards bundled with it!
And what I love the most this page is a solid first class promo complete with showcasing beside the tracks listing, the postcard gift, audio samples of the tracks embed in the page and there, the “Everybody Hurts” Music Video of the single embedded too that make it a really smart advertising page here! Walla!! Applause!
