David Archuleta’s OS~A Fresh New Look!!!
Posted by djafan on Wednesday, September 16, 2015
I’m really liking the new look of the official site. Every link has a unique header and it’s easy to navigate, clean and sharp. The new logo is simple but elegant and very recognizable. Click on the logo and go explore and comment!
“ALL IMAGES CREDIT TO DAVID ARCHULETA”
The header pictures are beautifully done.
Plenty to see and friendly layout for all. Hopefully we’ll see more traffic as the new BEGIN.ning starts up.

#9 COUGAR alert!!
MT
@muldur and @liz_mag3 tested their Periscope skilz this week. Both of them do videos too, so they may take turns with video and Periscope.
Just have Periscope open during the time when the concert is scheduled. When they start using it, their name will show up as going Live. Click on their window.The biggest issue will be their connection. With so many phone in use inside the theater there may be congestion on the wifi. If it drops it will reconnect on their end automatically. If not, they can reset and start a new session. There is a chat function, but you can disable it by swiping right. I think there is a chat bubble that you tap to disable. Just be patient and know that we will have great regular videos from a bunch of fans later.
Periscope videos last 24 hours. You have that amount of time to replay them.

Hi everyone!
Very excited for tonight, although I don’t have my phone with me. Even though I have
periscope on it, my husband broke his phone and borrowed mine for a few days while
I am on vacation (home) and he went out of town to fish.
I have been reading best practices on how people tried to install periscope on their pc’s
and macbooks, and it seems that even the best of the best have issues. I’ll have to
wait for videos on youtube, and that’ll be fine. 🙂
DJA, that is my favorite picture too. 🙂

Ok, I’ve scoped out the place! Got inside the theater (by someone who let us in just before they were locking the doors….thank you nice young man in the red t- shirt!) I can tell you that on the stage are a drum set, grand piano, key board, a few mikes, sound equipment, etc. The best part is seeing that SOLD OUT sign slapped across David’s poster out front! It wasn’t there last night. I took a pic but see that Shelly already posted it. So excited!!!

I am not in the least surprised that the shows are selling out. It’s David Archuleta, The Voice and the best singer in the world! If David had any doubt that we gave up waiting, the proof that he is worth the wait is in the sold out shows.
The pictures on the official site are just beautiful and represent the more mature David but his boyish charms shine through. I don’t think they will every leave him; it’s just part of his personality.

#30 Djafan – I didn’t contact her. I just saw the link a few minutes ago. But, I did see the snippet she put on her site right before that. Hopefully, after the concert, she’ll put more info about the other concerts with a video of a song from tonight. A lot of people who weren’t hard core fans like a lot of us, have probably forgotten about him. A little free advertising would be helpful. I’m sure there are those out there who would be curious if they heard a song or two, or saw a video and an article about his upcoming concerts. I’ve seen too many posts where someone has mentioned him to someone, and they say, Oh, I loved him, whatever happened to him. Also, now that he’s more mature, I’m sure he could have a whole new group of fans. My sister didn’t care for him, because she thought he was too young. To me, his age didn’t matter, all I care about is his talent and what a wonderful young man he is. So, maybe tonight will be the start of a whole new career. I hope so, he deserves it.

– his singing is flawless
– his perfect voice has become “more perfect”
– his hand movements are fascinating
I could go on but I should stop. Those vids are calling me.
p.s. Can someone please make a scream cap of the part of 8throwcenter’s Forevermore video where he looks up with his eyes wide open – around 2:47min. I would be most grateful. Thank you in advance.

Numb by David Archuleta
I think I’ll take a second chance
I won’t be passing by these waters again
Wanna feel redemption’s hand
See this life only for what it, what it is
I know the river’s not too wide
I can see it for myself with my own eyes
Someone out there’s on my side
It’s not my place to question why
CHORUS
Everybody needs time away
To wake up with the sun on their face
I’m not there yet but i know
That I don’t wanna feel numb
Falling over all of my shadows
Yeah I’m all done
Cuz none of that ever really mattered
It hurts to live so wide awake, oh
But it’s a chance I can take
I won’t run run run
Cuz I don’t wanna feel numb
So deep inside these hills I run
To a place where I can see til Kingdom Come
See the days one by one
And love this life only for what it, what it is
I hear the whispers in the stars
The words that tell us more of who we are
Someone out there’s not that far
Everything I need is here now
REPEAT CHORUS
Yeahhhh
A tidal wave brought to life
Rushing over every doubt of mine
Open soul open sky
Everything, everything is right
I don’t wanna feel numb
Falling over all of my shadows
Yeah I’m all done
Cuz none of that ever really mattered
It hurts to live so wide awake, oh
But it’s a chance I can take
I won’t run run run (x2)
I don’t wanna feel numb (x3)
Thanks Tina!

I am in love with this huge improvement. It tells me so much about his inner happy state of being. *sigh* Good job, DA. Good, job.
(yeah, he still speaks – re: interview – in basic generalizations instead of particulars – kinda hard on interviewers. But at least we all know that, that is just how he speaks, how he thinks. It may seem at times to be distant ((I felt a little bit bad for the interviewer.)) but it is just how he processes. His intimacy comes much more to the fore when he sings. It is his doorway into the shared-world/heart of others.)

David Archuleta performed his first concert in almost 4 years in Idaho Falls Thursday September 17.
The American Idol season 7 runner-up premiered a new song, “Numb,” co-written in Nashville at a time when he wondered if show business was really where he needed to be. David introduced the song with a story about having a hard time adjusting to “civilian” life after returning home to Utah in March 2014 from his 2 year Mormon mission in Chile.
David figured he’d get right to work on his music career, picking up where he left off. But, after holding some meetings in Los Angeles, “It kind of freaked me out,” said David. He had just spent two years on his mission serving people and had problems bringing the focus back to himself. “I guess it wasn’t the best idea just to jump in,” David confessed.
He returned home to Utah and holed up for a couple of weeks. After a few trips to Nashville for songwriting sessions, David began to question whether he wanted to continue a singing career or not. He went as far as calling his manager to say he might not want to do music anymore. “I was so confused,” said David, “I was trying to put myself in a place I was before, but I realized I’d changed! I wasn’t the same person.”
“I was so happy on my mission,” said David, “Why would I go back to a place that almost felt like stepping down?”
What turned the tide for the singer was writing a song about his confusion. Going into another Nashville writing session with Jamie Kennedy and Trent Dabbs, they asked David what was on his mind. David poured his heart out and the result was the new song, “Numb,” where David expressed his need to continue a music career, but not in the same way he did before.
“I feel like I opened myself up and realized what made me the most happy,” shared David. “Just through simple…meaningful things like my family, and caring about other people, helping them out…and relying on a higher source of power for the rest.”
“So we wrote about that,” said David. “And we want to share that with you tonight.”
Watch David Archuleta perform his new song, “Numb” right here. Check out David’s upcoming concert dates HERE.

Many thanks to LizMag and Muldur for their sleuth skills that made the fanbase so happy.
I was overwhelmed last night during and after watching David’s performance from Idaho on Periscope. For those who have been here since the beginning, how far we have come from underwater cellcasts to Periscope.
Close to four years have passed since David’s last performance as a solo artist and he seems both familiar and fresh. He wears his maturity well! His confidence level has soared, his onstage bantering was a pleasure, his entire demeanor onstage has sharpened. As the show went on you could see him loosening up. I expect him to loosen up even more on this short tour. He seemed baffled to see sold out shows. I wish he had more faith in us diehard fans.
I liked the new song “Numb”. However, it made me sad to hear David say that he thought he was finished with music. With his kind of talent it would be a crime to hold it back. I understand why he got turned off by the executives who said that they could make him a star again. I hope he sees now that you don’t have to be a star to have a successful career. I have not read all the lyrics to the song yet but I plan to.
Meanwhile, it’s back to MKOP, my newest oldest obsession. haha
Thanks Fenfan, for posting those middle of the night videos for us in the east!

He has finally made that much waited-for connection. And to think that it almost didn’t happen. I would have been glad for him with whatever path he chose, but THAT VOICE..!

Gladys you are so funny. As Fen mentioned David’s ears were free and I loved it. None of that distracting hassle with cords.
Before the concert tonight a very stern lady told us cameras and phones would be confiscated and not returned if we were caught infringing on copyright laws. So sorry if there was no periscope tonight.
The audience tonight was extremely rowdy in a good way. David told us we were “very energetic “. There were several diehard fans there tonight who were not there last night (not saying it was all Tawna but she was in attendance tonight). The new guitarist looked like he had never been involved in such a love fest. He had that Wow What Is Happening look on his face.
I think both David and the fans got over the opening night jitters and we all just had a huge party. My favorite parts
were Numb and Everybody Hurts. The part I liked least was David leaving the stage.
It was great to see all the fan hugging going on. So good to see folks we have been missing.

SandyBeaches, David sang nineteen songs so, yes, there were lots of happy songs too. He sang songs from all of his albums except his Christmas album plus a Tarzan song medley, his new song, his Spanish song, and Glorious. The set list is on yesterday’s post at FOD. There was a Periscope of most of the concert, but unfortunately Periscope videos are only up for 24 hours so they aren’t there now, but I think most of them were made into you-tube videos. You can find some on the thread here and also at FOD. David’s voice is better than ever IMHO. As always, his set list was a good combination of upbeat songs along with his signature ballads that make people cry. David is BACK!

Strict rules last night but so much gratitude for the ladies giving us the opportunity to experience a little of David’s first show. As much as I missed being able to do the same last night I’m glad they were able to enjoy. And from what I hear he was even better last night. Let’s see what tonight holds.
Hello gayle and sweetonda!
Gladys! Get periscope just in case for tonight!
Dayzee, can’t wait to interrogate you in unplugged! Abrra will be doing her magic! Soon!
Can I just say how much I love Numb?! It is spinning in my head. I love the message of hanging in there and moving forward, creating your own path. My young adults love it. Reading comments from non fans and it has been positive which is a first for many.

This from TOfan, gives me the chills of anticipation!
Yes, I am still in Idaho… awesome so far but I still haven’t had a potato. How is his fair? I bet Mr. Archuleta has had a potato. He was a completely different David in concert tonight. He was sassy and swaggery, putting proposing fans in their place and slaying them with snappy comebacks… in song, of course.
It was great to see him more relaxed, having fun with the crowd, which was an “energetic” Friday night audience, as D. put it. Spontaneously cheering, standing and clapping during Crush, calling out “I LOVE YOU, DAVID!” … just like old times.
I thought he might not be as chatty tonight but he was more so, I think … such a storyteller… with gestures that make the need for a hearing-impaired interpreter completely unnecessary.
The merch table was hopping for David tonight… even if I didn’t already own 2,25485348 copies of Begin. , there is no way I could’ve gotten near enough to the table to buy another 6 or 7. And tons of girls came to the concert wearing the shirts that were on sale for the first time ever last night.
He is so grown up now… a grown man… yet still David. Isn’t life grand?
p.s.
I met so many lovely Archies for the first time tonight and last night…. we’re a pretty awesome group, aren’t we? 🙂 🙂 🙂

My magic will be slower to finish. After reviewing the videos, I don’t have a complete set yet for the Candy Jar. People were talking on a few of them and I can’t make a nice mp3 with that happening. I’ll hope for some Layton vids to fill in the missing songs.
Still working on it.

Abs, thanks for the mp3’s. I just got home, saw them and downloaded the best. 🙂 Mulder told me she bought a new mic
for her equipment, and it really shows. (especially on Don’t give up, which looked far away, but to me sounded like it
was recorded professionally live lol)
Now that I’m home from work and all cozy in my leggings and sweater, I’ll relax with some videos. I don’t need or
demand much to make me happy.
Love to all. ♥

“I have noticed something new in David, a man looks different when it is completely free. It is beautiful to see David with wings, now he can fly in any direction.”
There is a pic from Shelley over on FOD front page. the group of 3 pictures that have had me grinning ear to ear all day.His face is lit up,smiling ear to ear and looking up(balcony)? Made me cry and smile all at once.
Its the look of a happy and contented man looking out and up at his audience.
He’s back , he’s beautiful ,and his eyes are glistening. Sweet sweet medicine that grin
My new desktop pic…thank you David, for coming home to us.
so excited for tonite and Monday too.

I want them to cancel the Monday show and let him rest and get better. He would rest so much better if he didn’t have to worry about Monday night. Kind of like when you get sick at night and can’t call the boss until in the morning and you can’t really relax and rest until you’ve notified him/her.
Prayers for David’s well being. ♥

Well or sick, David is awesome. His band helped him sing, the audience helped him sing. Many lyrics spoken rather than sung. Still beautiful. And I am still worried about that guy.

Hello all! Busy with family stuff but my phone and earbuds are always attached lol. Felt awful about Layton and hope this guy gets some rest. Read that Kari and the band had also started to feel ill. I’m also on the side of rescheduling tomorrow and take time to recoup. The pictures sure are heartwarming, classic David, not a bad picture ever. And that voice is better than ever. Numb is stuck in my head, real stuck.and if there was ever a silver lining in the clouds, I believe I heard something about Christmas concerts😳

Thank you so much for the awesome videos !!! I’m sure David is going to be just fine with some rest and mama’s chicken soup. Anyway, I just LOVE the new song, Numb. Does anyone else notice a little Ed Sheeren type vibe ? This song makes me very excited about the next album. I hope he can find a way to keep making music and at the same time satisfy that desire to really help others in a hands- on way. That seems to be the most important thing to him. At the same time, he knows that God gave him his gifted voice for a special purpose. That gives me hope that he will continue having a career in music as well.
