Dear Archies, As the millennials say: the struggle is real. The wait for d physical CD of @DavidArchie's #PostcardsInTheSky is a killer. In the meantime, let's stream it on Spotify https://t.co/jyITKEfTOC. This MAY help us w/ the pangs of waiting but it will SURELY help his CD.
Everyone that’s going to David’s concerts, have fun! One more week to see him here in KC! Whoo hoo! Hope he sings a few more of his new songs. I want to hear him sing Cracks of Heaven.
He seemed to be having a little problem with his throat in a few songs here. Take care, David.

David Archuleta explains his Postcards in the Sky
October 26, 2017 By Mark Franklin
“Postcards in the Sky” makes for a great opening track on David Archuleta’s most personal project yet.
And the song has a touching back story.
But those aren’t the only reasons “Postcards in the Sky” also became the title of David’s new album.
First, the story behind the song …
“Postcards in the Sky was a song that was written as we were talking about hard things that happen,” David told Idol Chatter. “One of the writers, Jeff Trott, had a niece that passed away when she was only 9 or 10 years old.
“At her funeral, in her honor, they released balloons with messages tied to it that were positive. I loved that imagery and wondered who those messages would reach. I imagined they could have reached the heavens, or landed by someone who was having a hard day.
“I wondered what would happen if we let out what was deep inside our hearts more often. Let out what we keep inside — whether to God, or to our friends, or to a stranger. How would it change us? Or change them? Thus Postcards in the Sky was written.”
And written partly by David.
In fact, he had a hand in writing all 16 tracks on the new album, which landed last Friday.
That hasn’t been the case with David’s past albums. On those projects, he was often asked to convey songs written by others.
On the new albums, the songs are his songs, his stories.
Hence, the album title.
“I felt all these songs were my Postcards in the Sky,” David said.
“I hope they reach other people and can impact them to be better. To search within them and connect to what’s deep inside and then share it themselves. I hope they find who they are, find they are connected to something bigger than them and newfound strength to keep moving forward.”
“Postcards in the Sky” — the album — has received a warm reception. David’s first full-length album since 2013, it cracked the Top 20 on iTunes pop chart on release day. A week later, it’s still in the Top 70 on that chart.
You can check out a snippet of the title track below. And check back this weekend for the rest of Idol Chatter’s interview with David.
Editor’s Note: David plays Club Cafe in Pittsburgh tonight and has a number of other upcoming tour dates that you can check out on his Facebook page.”
Okay, so these photos and vids are awesome!!! David was performing on top last night, and I’m sure he will be tonight, also!
Jan, TOfan over at SnowAngelz said that David was under the weather with a cold last night. It doesn’t surprise me having had the schedule that he did last week, different continents, and long flights in the closed in, confined space, breathing re-circulated air of an airplane. Just praying for a healthy recovery and some sleep time in between concerts. ♥
Yes Tawna, David could certainly use some voice rest although the acoustics at the show tonight were incredible from the Periscope and he seemed in fine form. I wish he could have waited another week after the long flight home before going back on tour.
David’s two concerts were above and. beyond exceptional. His Latino musicality is fantastic. His band members share a great camaraderie on stage and are themselves exceptional in both playing and backup singing.
I don’t know a single singer anywhere who I would travel the distance to see. We were awakened Monday night with a message that our flights were cancelled, I nearly missed my connecting flight, We drove from Newark to Sellersville (like where in the world is that??). Even with the GPS we were lost on the road two hours each way. Finally arrived back at the hotel at 3 am. Only other vehicles were long haul trucks. We drove nearly all day today to get to Pittsburgh.
He is the #1 singer of the times and one day people are going to know that!
SB
I’m so happy to hear of the good experience!! Even with the road trip experience you were able to release it all and enjoy David and the fans.
We had a GPS road trip like that… rather than a straight shot between two cities, we were led through the corn and soy bean fields of Illinois — yeah, interesting scenery those fields are! 🙂 We’ve laughed about it a lot since then! 😀
Bebe, that photo by nareejo #17 … pick me up off the floor! If we could all look like that with just water, eh!?
Tawna, lol Fifi told him she didn’t believe him about it only being the water lol I saw the video, need to look for it. There is so much video and pictures from the Philippines!
