@davidarchie New song and video called My Little Prayer now up! Link in bio.
Something I try to do to each day is begin by saying a prayer in the morning, and then end my day with a prayer at night. Sometimes, however, I fall asleep before I say my nightly prayer. One time almost a year ago I had one of these nights where I fell asleep before saying a prayer. Something unusual happened.
That night I had a dream. It was different than anything I had experiences before. In my dream I was praying-having a conversation with God. The conversation was also different. I was singing. I could hear simple chords in my dream that I was laying a simple melody and prayer on top of.
As I was having this conversation in music with God, He told me to get up and write this down. I thought and said, “…but… I’m sleeping. I’m not sure I know how to get up from a dream!” He told me “if you don’t get up now, you’ll forget it in the morning.” I tried everything I could to wake up, and I did! There in the middle of the night I went straight to the piano with the words and melody I had spoken in my dream still clear in my head, and wrote it all down. It was the fastest I had ever written a song because I feel this one was given to me.
I’ve sung this song several times this year now and people kept asking where to find it so I felt it would be good to share it during this Holiday season. I hope you enjoy it and find encouragement to begin your own simple and sincere conversations in prayer! #mylittleprayer #prayer#christmas #lighttheworld

Beautifully-done video! Beautifully-edited! What started out as a little song grew into something much bigger. Love it! His own background vocals are heavenly, no pun intended. Going back for more plays.

I don’t know how David does it. The last two weeks (this week and last week) were awful and just gut-wrenching with personal stuff…then the song came out at midnight and I played it on my phone with my headphones on as the fire was dying in the wood stove and the house was quiet. Smiled for the first time in two weeks.
I confess I always hoped for a video for My Little Prayer, and now I got my wish :). Beautifully done.

I really love the simplicity with so much depth and beauty. David pulled off. And I have to say if Numb and MLP are any indication of what’s to come we are in for the ride of our lives. Whoever the producers are with David now in control have been able to capture the essence of his voice in a recording like nobody’s business.

After the Rexburg show my daughter said MLP was her favorite part of the program. She was very impressed with his story of the birth on this song and wanted everyone to hear it. Great to see it is making a mark on the charts. The video is a treasure.

Beautiful song, beautiful singer. Just checked iTunes at 11:45pm MLP is #2 on the Christian and Gospel chart and #114 on the All Songs chart. Not bad at all for just coming out and really the only promotion is word of mouth by DA fans. Except for mjsbigblog, I haven’t see anything else about it.

Wow what a note to go to bed on. I have been to a comedy concert tonight with some friends that work at Nu Skin in Provo Utah. The act did not compare to what David could bring. The comedian was too crass for the Utah crowd at times and the three of us talked about it on the way home that we wished that Nu Skin would get David to do a concert for their Christmas. I believe the comedian was Jim Gaffigan. He was ok but I just sat there wanting the charms of David. mmmm mmmm

Lynnella, It’s interesting that besides MJ’s and now Rickeys no mainstream media has picked MLP up. Yet it’s trending even on itunes, which is hard to do. Over a million facebook views overnight from literally word of mouth sharing on social media. What is also great is that Numb, The Prayer, and Crush are benefiting with their numbers jumping due to the attention MLP is getting.

Spent a great evening with Tawna and Ron and David and Nathan. I really liked the crowd tonight. They were very appreciative. They stood up, shut up and laughed it up in all the right places. David did a bouncy Pat a Pan. When he sang White Christmas it felt like he was saying “Hey look what I can do” as he strutted through that song. His signature renderings of O Holy Night and Joy to the World were especially moving tonight. There were some extensive ramblings after which he told us we could wake up the people who had fallen asleep because he was ready to sing now. Still loving The Drummer Boy. Numb had the lyric video playing on the screen behind him and it was a nice touch.
I wanted to mention the Boise VIP. When Kari first came she told us all pictures would be with both David and Nathan and we were not to ask for one or the other. David kept Nathan in every conversation. At most David VIP’s the fans are requested to submit questions for David. This time he would answer the question and then pass it on to Nathan, always keeping Nathan on equal footing. Someone asked what foods David likes to cook. He told us he can fix a bowl of cereal. With milk. That’s his specialty and only culinary talent. Then Nathan told us he did not cook, but was excellent at eating. He had a long list of favorite foods. Then he said that he liked to sing on a full stomach. David visibly shuddered, and Nathan said David did not join him in that thinking.
In Idaho Shelley told me she could not make the Layton/Logan concerts and Las Vegas would be her next. We will miss her photo and video gifts.
Thanks to another fan I have tickets for the evening performance in Layton tomorrow, then will miss Logan as I will be on my way to Vegas.

Abrra, re the backdrop it was sometimes good, sometimes distracting. If you can distract me from David you are really distracting. For the most part I was wishing to see his face up there on the screen. He has been using a backdrop screen throughout this tour to show the children in the China orphan care center but usually it is dark except for that. He wants us to see these beautiful children and he is the best salesman they could have. He tells us if we want to give him a Christmas gift it should be the sponsoring of one of those children.

Abrra, the slide shows …. nope …. no more to say about them. Especially the White Christmas one. 😦
Ron and I had theee most fun evening last night!! What fun it is to be with Dayzee at a David concert! David and Nathan were wonderful … but then, that is not new news to anyone here! Dayzee and I giggled several times at dumb little things that David would say or do. He’s ‘just David’, still. 🙂 I completely agree with her viewpoint on last night’s crowd. Layton loves David. They were also very, very open to Nathan. I don’t consider Nathan Pacheco as an opening act. Even though he does open the show, David very much includes him as an equal sharer of the bill. He will, out of nowhere, just say something like, “let’s give another round of applause to Nathan Pacheco”! It’s so interesting to watch them watch each other when they are on stage together. They are two peas in a pod, IMHO! Learning from each other and practicing on each other.
I’m going to go on a little rant here, though. Utah concert goers, get your act together! When the ticket says that the show starts at 7:00, be there and in your seat by 6:45!! If you want to purchase merch get there early enough to do it before starting time or wait until after!! I’d be willing to bet that they were late starting last night because they could see all the seats that were still empty and knew that they had been sold. Plus, the lobby was still crawling with people coming in. It just irritates me to no end when this happens. I don’t know how it is in the rest of the country, but Utahans are notorious for lateness. And, this is coming from a native Utah girl. But, I was taught while very young that late is not good. My dad always had us there with time to spare — thank you dad! Oh, and one more thing… if it’s date night and you are sitting next to your sweetie, DO NOT keep leaning into each other and snuggling (especially if you’re in front of me). The person behind you (ahem, me) wants to see the performer whose name is on the ticket, not the back of your heads that make a better door than a window. The seats in that auditorium are lined up very well so the stage can be seen … if you sit straight in your chair. Yes, I’m talking to you, Mr. Tall guy in front of me last night, with your arm around your wife and your shoulders touching, and you got there after the 7:00 start time! Okay, *rant over!* 🙂 (whew, I feel better)
One more thing, the audience loved MLP and Numb. When we left last night, Dayzee and I both noticed that the merch tables had lines. We decided that since David introduced them the way he did during the show, that people were now crazy to get them in their hands. It was great to see it. 🙂 I would love to be able to see this show again and again. Unfortunately, unlike my Duracell Dayzee friend, that never slows down, my body won’t take those long car rides for awhile. I’m hoping that next year brings improvement.
Let’s hope for not as strict camera cops tonight. 🙂

There is so much pride in my heart for all the good things that David has right now. Proud that both of his singles are doing so great. It’s about time he gets his due! 🙂 Love to see his whole album doing the same thing next year.
Getting things tied up so I can meet Dayzee at the airport Wednesday…don’t forget me Dayzee! 🙂 Taking a week out of a busy Christmas season wasn’t too smart of me, but I know David is so worth it! ♥
Tawna, I know what you mean about “Mr.Tall Guy” sitting in front of you. I get one every time! All of us shorties know the feeling. And when they won’t sit still, it makes it even worse. My head bobbing back and forth trying to see probably makes the people behind me a little perturbed too! Happy that you all had a great time. Seeing David is always the best. Hope you’re better each and every day.
I’m not from Utah, but I can’t get enough of David Archuleta either! 🙂 lol
Good for Ninja Shelley..2 vids are better than none! We can usually count on her….
Missed the trending because I was out shopping and didn’t know about it until it was over. But so glad that he trended…he’s on his way up folks! ♥

Another great puzzle. My favorite piece was the one with the bow tie. Haha.
Last night I went to David’s concert with my country music granddaughter. She had not been to a concert with me since David was with Brad Paisley at Stadium of Fire. As we approached the auditorium there was a dazzling display of a Christmas light show on the opposite side of the street. We walked up to the venue doors thinking this was pretty dark after all those sparkling lights. It was just after 6 and we expected the doors to be unlocked, but no. An official came out and told us we could not enter the building because there was no power. The power company was on their way and we would get news as it developed.
Random: I currently have the Motab on TV singing David songs and they are pretty good. Not David, but pretty good.
Back to the concert. Fans gathered and huddled outside the doors. Rain had been falling all day and there was no letup. Half an hour later we were told they were trying to set up for an acoustic event. If we wanted to stay for that, we would be welcome. No one left. The time on my ticket said 7, but that hour came and went. Around 7:30 we were allowed in and found our seats. The musicians were moving their instruments down from the stage to the area before the front row of seats. Instead of scooting our chairs, they were scooting the show towards us. Great! I looked around. A sold out house and there were still no empty seats. They promised us some kind of show by 8. Lights came on at 7:45 and the musicians came down and moved their stuff back on stage. Shucks.
The emcee came out and thanked us for being so nice and so patient. Hey, we are David fans here. We are always nice.
When Nathan came out he told us of their chaos backstage, trying to come up with a set list that would work for an acoustic show.
David thanked us for still being there. As if we would leave.
Was it worth it? Any inconvenience disappeared when David stepped on the stage. When Nathan begins Drummer Boy I am no longer unhappy. Instead I am ecstatic because I know David will soon be bounding onto the stage to show us all how fun that song can be.
I thought Riu Riu was especially good last night. It was all wonderful. A forever memory.

Made me smile to see Shelley’s second pic at #37 with David in front of the big green DAVID ARCHULETA on the screen. David turned around to see what was on screen and gave a little snort saying, “That’s not a Chistmas picture!” Self-promotion is just not a David thing.
David shortened his stories considerably on Saturday night. He always says he is working on doing less talking, but I want to hear it all. My granddaughter enjoyed David speaking and said, “He’s just like a real person when he talks.” Hmmm
When Tawna and Ron came to their seats on Friday Ron jokingly tried to pick a fight with us saying, “You know we have already seen this show.” No, Ron. Every time David is on stage is a new show.
Hoping for some good Ninjas for Tuesday night in Logan. I will be on my way to Las Vegas. Looking forward to a great time with Jan and David.

Enjoying all your little stories that go with the videos, Dayzee. Some people think it a little odd that I come out and see 2 or 3 concerts at the same time….but like you said, every one is different and there is never too many David concerts for the real DA fan! 🙂 And some are the lucky ones that live close enough to go to many, many of them and that is a super, duper fan! 🙂 I am looking forward to having my turn to see David live, in person in my first Christmas concert since he made his announcement many moons ago. 🙂
Have a safe trip Dayzee and see ya Wed in Vegas! ♥
I noticed the back of his jacket was up in back and I see why he is always pulling it down. This time he didn’t and it stayed up through a couple of songs. He would probably be upset if he knew it was up all that time since he is a perfectionist. 🙂 I love all the songs that he sings and Nathan always acts so proud of David. A couple of good joes respecting each other. Nathan sometimes has that little smile for David, that he thinks the world of him and his singing. They are 2 of the best ever!
