Get Here (if you can) ~ David Archuleta
Posted by clairerolfe35 on Saturday, July 13, 2013
Abrra, I feel extremely inadequate in writing this. For one thing, I cannot find where it relates to David, and I expect it to bore everyone. I could not find the words to relate how much fun it was, mostly to be going with my lovely granddaughter. I threw in everything and hope you will cut it drastically. I only do this because you asked me to and I love you 🙂 Will send pics. ~ Dayzee.
♦♦♦♦♦♦
No worries Dayzee. You supply the pics, and I’ll supply the relevant David connections. After all this time, there isn’t much I can’t relate to David and that includes the importance of family. The way you told of your experience with your granddaughter was wonderful and not one bit boring even without my throwing David in there every few sentences. I had fun doing it though, and since I am responsible for supplying David content, I took liberties with your text. My edits appear in red. ~ Angelica
Inspired by photos of my parents from the 1920’s, my granddaughter and I take a week every summer to visit the ghost towns and old mining areas where my father worked at that time. It is interesting to see where they lived so long ago in east central Utah.
This year we visited Canyonlands, Capitol Reef and Arches National Parks and Goblin Valley State Park. We hiked to a place in Arches where the wind had eroded a twisting tunnel through the mountain and when the wind blew it would scream. It was hard not to relate Arches with “Archies” or “Archuleta.” Especially when I heard the screams. It was just the wind, but it sure brought back fond memories.
This year we made plans for a hot air balloon ride. I know David took a ride in a blimp, but I’m pretty sure he once said he’d like to ride in a balloon someday. The most difficult part was getting up at 4:20 so that we could be in the balloon basket by dawn. We watched them fill the balloon and get it off the ground. The basket had four areas that held three people in each, with the pilot in the center. 13 people? What were they thinking? Indeed. What were they thinking when they put like, a hundred people in a VIP and you had to stand on sore feet for hours waiting for a brief encounter with the pilot, uh, David. Well, he is kind of a pilot of sorts, fixated as he is on going up. Think about it: The Other Side of Down, Elevator, Parachutes and Airplanes, Zero Gravity, and that “like a satellite we’re flying” song. But I digress.
We were the only people from Utah, except David, who is from Utah but he wasn’t there, but I’m sure he would have wanted to be. There were only 4 of us from the U.S. There was a couple from Germany, one person from Ontario, one from Australia and the others were from Asian areas. Unfortunately, for many fans, David has only been to the Asian areas. I’m sure that will change when he gets back though. Ages ranged from 8 to 78, much like the demographic of David’s fan base. It was great hearing their stories. The fellow from Australia had been ballooning in many different countries and he was disappointed to find there was no wild life to be seen in that area. The only living things I have seen in that desert are lizards. None large enough to be seen from a balloon. It piqued my imagination that he had seen giraffes and kangaroos from the air. David would have liked that. He loves animals. He might even love lizards. I don’t know. He wouldn’t step on one, that’s for sure.
When we go skydiving, (uuurrk!!!! Wait! What? Guurrl, you can’t just throw a line like that out and not give details, Dayzee. Please elaborate in comments.) the plane reaches an altitude above 12,000 feet. The balloon was only 3,000, but that was enough. With the balloon there is no steering and the pilot controls altitude by heating the air in the balloon. He then finds air currents to ride on. We were in the air for 90 minutes. About the length of time of a David concert. The pilot radioed his crew where to pick us up, but as we were landing a strong wind blew us to the wrong side of a railroad track. The balloon was lifted again and the ground crew grabbed ropes and pulled us to the side where they could retrieve the balloon and pack it on the truck they had driven there. Just like the roadies pack up David’s gear and off he goes in the bus they had driven there.
It was a great experience that we will never forget. I could say that about every David concert I’ve been to too. But I digress. That reminds me, David digresses a lot, like the way he can never stay on topic in vlogs, just rambles on and on in that adorable way of his. Oh dear. I did it again. #DA2014 can’t come soon enough. Just come back soon David, even in a hot air balloon.
You can reach me by railway
You can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane
You can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by a caravan
Cross the desert like an Arab man
I don’t care how you get here
Get here if you can
You can reach me by sailboat
Climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope
Into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt
Cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don’t care how you get here
Get here if you can
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
I need you closer
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
I need you closer
You can windsurf into my life
Take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon
But you better make it soon.

Wonderful Hot-Air Balloon adventure!
The scenery has to be spectacular.
Fun to have David along for the ride!
His wish almost did come true.
If you recall, David was scheduled to take a balloon ride in the afternoon of his American Idol homecoming.
Weather became too windy, and I remember at the time, I was fearful.
The ride was canceled, but the rest of the day was perfect.
I was watching the live-stream on my computer
“up, up” very early in the morning “and away” 1800 miles from Utah!

MT, my son and his sons and I go skydiving together. The first time they went without me. When I scolded him for leaving me behind he told me he had been so scared he was afraid he would not make the jump. Did not want me there pushing him out of the plane. Haha. Since then we have done the jump 3 times. Great pic of David in his iFLY helmet. See how happy he is?
Tawna, we have had some great moments with David, haven’t we? Now, that is a rush that beats all others. Glad you mentioned the Utah scenery.

When my husband and I were dating (we are both history buffs), we plotted out a vacation visiting ghost towns in the Upper Peninsula. Old mining towns (copper & iron ore) that were once boom towns. Sometimes there were only foundations left. We LOVE that stuff. Love thinking about the people who carved out a life in the wilderness. 😉

Bebe–so your daughter arrived by balloon instead of stork? I like it.
Abrra, loved seeing Vanessa and her (and David’s) abuelita having so much fun singing together. Family stuff is the best. When my grandson was about 2 years old I was rocking and singing to him. He tapped me on the cheek and said, “Grandma, don’t sing.” That pretty much ended my singing career, but we are still good friends.
Emme, I appreciate that you enjoyed those old pics. My mother is the one wearing a hat and the baby is my big brother. That old car was driven 30 miles every weekend to the dance hall in Cisco, also a ghost town now.
Desertrat, I’m certain your vacation will be great. Anyone who answers to Desertrat knows how to have a good time.
Betsy, I have always wanted to fly. As a child I wished to be a bird, but the diet deterred me.
Isn’t it fascinating how a town that was once vibrant can be reduced to crumbling foundations? Evidence of drastic change in many lives. I hope there will always be ghost towns to explore.
Trudy, you are correct. All things relate to David. It’s so difficult conversing with people who do not understand that concept. That is why this is such a comforting place to be.

The abuelita video is a gem! I wonder if they were singing to David at the end. 🙂
I decided to burn a CD with some of my old, non-David, favorite songs as well as some of my most favorites of David’s. Thought I would just mix it up a bit, try a little variety. It’s the spice of life, right?
Well, not so much – I ultimately end up skipping past all of my old, non-David favorites and go straight to him. I can’t help it – I am addicted to that voice. Nothing else will satisfy.

Your love gave wings to my love
I can still feel the taste of your kisses on my mouth
I can still feel your hands caressing my skin.
And I don’t want to go on like this
Being with her and thinking of you
I’m spending my time just the same
I can’t stop thinking of you
In the morning, I wake up with you on my mind
I call her by your name.
And I don’t want to go on like this
Being with her and thinking of you
How stupid, how crazy we are
Being with other people and in love with each other
How stupid, how crazy we are
Being with other people and still in love with each other.
And I don’t want to go on like this

How stupid, how crazy we are
Being with other people and still in love with each other.
I can’t get used to
the coffee made by her yet
She doesn’t know me well
It’s not like yours.
And when I feel her caresses
I close my eyes and think of you
And I don’t want to go on like this
Being with her and thinking of you
How stupid, how crazy we are
Being with other people and in love with each other
How stupid, how crazy we are
Being with other people and still in love with each other.

On 15 July last year, it was a beautif Sunday. I was in Chile, Rancagua, was the happiest day of my life. It was the first time I saw David, he sang five hymns in Spanish. It was an experience I will never forget.
David’s voice was so pure, I thought, I do not need to be of the same religion, I can understand the message.
Actually when he sang in English, I always understood. The words that sprang to my mind were:
“There are trips that cause amazement, there are trips that are discoveries, there are trips you want to never end, this is one of them”

Great JR videos from the Philippines. It was such fun to see that little dark spot in the center of his Tshirt grow into a sweat heart. I think there is a special message for Skydancer in there somewhere.
Was looking for a place for lunch while I was in Ogden City when I saw a large “iFLY” sign on the building.
Went upstairs, and there was a chamber that looked like David might have been there. But there was no palm trees. On closer examination his picture has iFLY Hollywood written on it. Shucks. That chamber was 4 stories high and the noise from the air flow could be heard for a block from outside the building.
My son’s condition does not change much, but I will let you know when anything terrific happens. Thanks to all for your support. Parachutes are a good thing.

This is my video on my David Archuleta CD collection and I know this collection of mine is small. David Archuleta is one of my favorite male singers and I’m so inspired by him. His first album CD that’s self-titled is my most favorite one. It was released in November 2008 and as I said I was at the start of my senior year. And the album became was one of my highlights of my senior year during Spring and Summer of 2009 when my senior was almost at an end when I was 18 years old. And if David ever gets to see this video I hope he loves it and I hope that everything turns out wonderful and happy for him in his life and his singing career. The only album that’s missing is the Christmas album.

Yes that is an absolutely lovely profile. Is there someplace I can go to vote for that?
And those soundchecks are better than anyone else’s finished product. Loved that sneaky little “happy birthday” just thrown in the middle of his song. Uniquely David.

Loved your article , and mostly ,your adventurous spirit! Girlfriend, I love that you have skydived,I am a big chicken,bwaaak! Scared to freefall out the open door of a plane, (but I WOULD do it, if David was jumping tandem with me) haha
LOVE the pics you took with your beautiful grandaughter♥ and love the one with the shadow of your balloon!
gosh(13 people in your balloon, eeek!)
Utah has so much natural beauty..have been to the mountains a few times, but would love to go to Canyonlands and Arches.
Angelica,love you in red♥ :)) “Ages ranged from 8 to 78, much like the demographic of David’s fan base.” hehe ghost towns and mining towns, love all the pics!
Keeping your whole family in my prayers Dayzee♥ and hoping things improve soon for your son.
