David Archuleta ~ Glorioso Es
Posted by djafan on Tuesday, May 5, 2015
After the Youtube video for the Spanish version of “Glorious” was posted on this site, Gladys made this comment:
gladys1961 said
“The song is beautiful, David’s voice is sublime. It is different from the version in English. The lyric has totally changed.”
I was curious and asked Gladys if she would please transcribe the Spanish lyrics for us. When I read the Spanish lyrics and then translated them to English, I understood what Gladys meant. Although the sentiment is the same in both songs, the lyrics are very different. However, the song sounds just as beautiful in both languages.
David’s voice in Spanish has a natural flow. It may be because of his gift of combining the end of one word with the beginning of the next, weaving the lyrics together to create the melody.
What do you think?

David Archuleta booked for a second performance
TUESDAY , MAY 05, 2015 – 1:27 PM
David Archuleta is booked for a second performance at the Kenley Amphitheater in Layton September 21. Tickets go on sale May 6.
Raychel Johnson
Music Reporter
LAYTON — After his show sold out in record time, a matter of hours, popular pop singer David Archuleta will be brought back to the Kenley Amphitheater in Layton for a second performance September 21.
Tickets to the Davis Art’s Summer Nights With the Stars concert series date that featured Archuleta went on sale last week and experienced the highest day of sales in their history. For the first time a show sold out in one day.
Although a mass of the tickets were swallowed up by locals and season ticket holders for the concert series, patrons from all over the country also purchased tickets. Even someone from as far away as Denmark purchased a ticket to the first concert.
Heather Hendrix, Davis Arts Council director of marking and communications, said Tuesday the arts council anticipated the show would be a success, but didn’t expect a record sell out.
“His fans are so loyal and follow him around the country,” she said. “I think we did expect that it would sell out. I think Bill Cosby sold out in 10 days, and that was big for us. So it was just really the matter of how fast it sold out that was shocking.”
Tickets for the second show will go on sale Wednesday, May 6 promptly at 10 a.m. Hendrix said the best way to ensure a ticket was to first visit http://www.davisarts.org.
“The fastest way for people to get tickets is definitely the website,” she said. “Tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. last time and there was probably a couple 100 reserved seats and by the time we picked up the phones at 10 a.m., people online had already bought all those seats. We didn’t have any to sell over the phone because people online are so much quicker.”

As for ‘Glorious’ I like what you said Dja, “David’s voice in Spanish has a natural flow. It may be because of his gift of combining the end of one word with the beginning of the next, weaving the lyrics together to create the melody.” While I don’t understand more than a lick of Spanish, I can still feel and hear David’s communications. He’s an extraordinary fella, he is.

Thanks, Dja! Whether English or Spanish, Glorious is the perfect song for David to sing! To me, it was written for him to sing. Just another feather in his cap!! 🙂
When will everyone (including David) realize that he is so good and he will sell out fast! I don’t blame him for building slow though, just to feel it out. Yea, he’s doing good!

I cannot let go of the last thread without commenting on the Instagram Abrra posted at #76. Another confirmation of the excellent work David has done since his return. A few seconds that reminded me why I am so goofy about this guy. Appreciate Bluesky keeping me grounded during that performance. Well, she made an admirable effort. At least we got home safely.
We are lucky to have Dja and Gladys to keep us in touch with the Spanish side of David’s singing. Gives us more to contemplate and enjoy. Thanks to you. I loved that top pic that shows David with a small satisfied smile after recording.
I think that Layton show sold out in minutes. No surprise they are looking for another night of David tickets to sell. Hmmmm, is it possible to have too many David tickets?

Thank you Dayzee and Tawna for helping me with the new tickets for the Monday show. I really appreciate it!
We have been waiting for the final word on the schedule, so now we know: our son Dan will be going in for heart surgery Friday of next week. Although it is a bit stressful, it is a really good thing that they can do the surgery that is needed. It just came a bit sooner than we thought it might.
Keeping the people in Nepal and Chile in our prayers and all those in the middle east who are experiencing such devastating turmoil. It is nice to come here and see DA and reconnect with so many friends.
Love you all!

Bluesky! I can’t wait to see you again!! I know it is wishing my life away, but Sept. 21 can’t get here soon enough. And Dayzee did the hard stuff. I hope she has come down to earth since 10:05 this morning when I talked to her on the phone. I. Love. This. Lady!! She makes me a happy person just being around her. ♥
My prayers are with you, your family, and very much so for your son as he goes thru this surgery. Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery. I understand your stress. My 85 year old mom just had knee replacement surgery and it’s been a little tough on her. She’s very sensitive to pain meds, and there have been a couple of times that they have nearly overdosed her in an attempt to keep the pain under control. Today was a much better day for her.

Can’t believe I missed saying Happy Birthday to Betsy. So a late belated HB to you Betsy. I feel double guilty because I listened to David sing her Happy birthday and admired her cake.

I hear ya Dayzee my tickets on my phone was yelling so loud I finally looked up the Amphitheater to check out the seating chart and then go to the airlines to check flights. In the Amphitheater, you picked out some great seats and it’s a very beautiful place. But it’s too early to book yet on one airline and the other one was having problems! So no luck on flights yet. Tawna, you are so lucky to live by such a great person as Dayzee. She’s a gem!
In 2 weeks, my twin grandsons graduate from college in Austin. So we are going down for that and seeing 2 nephews that live there. One has bone cancer and he’s in bad shape. So there are mixed emotions on this trip. I have to brag a bit on my grandsons. They are graduating in 3 years in the top 4% of their class as they have made straight A’s throughout. They have already been hired by Google to start in August. They have interned there the last 2 summers and one of them designed the Android computer watch. I told them that when they got rich not to forget grandma!! 🙂

I loved the Spanish version that David sang of Glorious as much as the English, just in a different way. He sang it with more tenderness in his voice. The tone being much deeper than usual. reading the English translation gives me a better understanding about the nuance of language. It’s not exactly the same word for word, but the feeling and the message is the same.
We are blessed to have Djafan and her pal Gladys to sort out all these Spanish words for us! Thank you ladies!

I love David’s voice in Spanish, singing “Glorious”. Listen closely, it’s as if he’s whispering the entire song except he isn’t. It fascinates me how the lyrics have to be changed from the literal translation to fit the framework of the song to keep the melody. Gladys, thank you for your help with this article.
#1 Imagine how David’s voice sounded filling up the arena, singing “BSMS” at the symposium. Love the changes at 2:56. As whispery as Spanish “Glorious” is, when I play “BSMS” I have to keep turning down the volume because even at low, it seemed like his voice was too loud. Maybe good acoustics in that arena.
There are so many singing reality shows on the air now. Singers can come and go but for me, there will never be a voice that comes close to David’s.
Not surprised that new shows are being added one by one as David is testing the waters. This is really a comeback tour whether it’s called that or not and he’s being a smart businessman by building a tour, one concert at a time.
Many need our prayers now……to Bluesky’s son, Tawna’s Mom, Jan’s grandson, the people in Chile and Nepal who are still suffering effects from the earthquake.
To {{{Marlie}}}, who’s been sorely missed here, glad you’re on the mend.
Funny how MT refers to “computer withdrawal”. I was going through “MT withdrawal”. haha Happy to see you again, too.
Tawna, regarding the cork bulletin board you had with posters of your favorite singers. I had one too except my Mom let me put the posters up on my bedroom wall, too. #alwaysafangirl
#28 Dja “Maggie Sloan @maygee

Here’s a thought. Do you think that one reason we don’t hear much promotion from David himself is because he is depending totally on God to lead him in his career. That way he may feel he doing exactly what God wants him to do. David never really wanted fame. But he did want people to feel uplifted by the messages in his songs.

Here is my take on your question.
From what David has said, his Heavenly Father has always been a driving force in his making decisions. But, they are David’s decisions.
David is going to present the relaunch of his career when he finishes his next CD. There are concerts planned for the fall, so it seems that he may have things wrapped up by the end of summer. If he was doing as you say, I don’t think he would have an earthly “team” assisting him in getting that accomplished. He seems very focused on writing and recording right now.
We will have to get used to the fact that he isn’t going to report to fans as he did before. When he has something to show for his effort, I believe we will hear from him.
