European Release of Christmas from the Heart

Amazon, Germany style:

xmas germany

Oh, sigh.  Amazon, why must you tease us so?  And I thought the MP3 album would be released today in the United States, as per Amazon’s posting. 

But at least some of our international fans are enjoying it!  Spoilers abound on Twitter…much sighing and weeping and cries of “amazing!”   I’m really trying not to read any of those tweets, and I won’t post them here.  I just want to experience it for myself.

Spoilers, Fa La La La

Do you want to be spoiled?  Really?

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas:

have yourself a merry little christmas

 

Melodies of Christmas:

If you want to be “spoiled,” check out “Melodies of Christmas” at Fanscene.  Or…wait until you buy it on October 13th!  I know it’s tempting…can you resist?  Yes, you can.

David’s MySpace Goes All Christmas-y

We reported that David’s official website would soon be getting a new look and a new design (oh, thank you, Jive).  Looks like his MySpace has already been redesigned to promote the Christmas album.  Woot!

    Anyway, morning everyone :D

  64. GG_archudoors says:

    good morning team….

    some pointers to help us effectively trend david’s cd release on twitter on the 13th… info gleaned from observation, and searching various boards around the web for the most effective methods..

    please save and bookmark this info, so we all will be familiar with it, and ready to go on 10/13 for david on twitter… :D
    ================================================================================

    TRENDING pointers…..

    ❊ 1. Your twitter account can’t be private.

    ❊ 2. You can post anything you want, just add #ArchuletaXmasCD in all the updates.

    ❊ 3. You have to add at least one more word in your update, just the tag #ArchuletaXmasCD doesn’t count, twitter will reject it as spam.

    ❊ 4. Add one tag #ArchuletaXmasCD per update, twitter treats multiple tags in one post as spam and will reject it.

    ❊ 5. The tag can be located at the beginning, at the middle or at the end, it doesn’t matter.

    ❊ 6. Every new update must be different of the previous one, you have to change at least one letter, you can repeat the update later.

    ❊ 7. Posts from brand new accounts don’t count either, so if you want to create a new account to not spam your friends, create it now, it will be OK till October 13.

    ❊ 8. Sometimes when you post too much, twitter doesn’t let you post for 20-30 minutes, so you may want to have a #2 and #3 account to keep posting.

  65. Reine says:

    Good morning!! I confess I coud not resist to listen to the duet. Just Beautiful,both voices sound great but david’s is just so soothing and amazing and great !!!!

  79. EL says:

    Good morning! I am so excited to read all the buzz about the Christmas album! But although I have listened to the snippets, I’m going to hold out for the CD and listen to it all at once. The anticipation is delicious. Kind of like waiting for Christmas morning to open your presents even when you know where “Santa” has hidden them and you could go take a peek, haha.

    Also, I heard that there might be a concert near Chicago…has there been any more info?

  80. pattiNC says:

  82. burkey says:

    well…..have to go on my morning errands……..

    ♬ ♬ have yourself a merry little christmas ♬ ♬

  84. GG_archudoors says:

    82/ hurry back to the par-tay burkey – it’s gonna be a day and night long thang, hahaha :grin:

  85. kimk says:

    13 days of Days of Christmas…. fa la la…..la la

    On the first day of Christmas
    David gave to us
    a heart in the form of digital….
    On the second day of Christmas

  90. GG_archudoors says:

    83/ good morning nic! – it is great to finally have him matched with a singer of his caliber! they both have beautiful vocal instruments, and from what i’m hearing, they are showcased wonderfully on the duet – squeeeeeeee! :grin:

  91. kimk says:

    Nic oh goodness me thinks there is a long line for that honor….
    I can’t wait to hear it! :)

    EL loving it really. have a great day!

  92. Reine says:

    Kimk-I tried not to listen but temptation was greater lol. However this was just the apetizer and I will wait for the main course.

  93. GG_archudoors says:

    86/ right backatcha crusherlvr – have a great day! :grin:

  94. kimk says:

    Crusher ha who wouldn’t love to go to Italy for the weekend! Especially…..

  95. GG_archudoors says:

    80/ hi patti! :grin: i wish! :grin: just trying to hold out to sit in a quiet place, away from work, the pc, and listen to everything, start to finish… i’m tingling with anticipation of hearing the songs one after the other :grin: hearing all the good reports makes the wait kinda like the one for ”contigo en la distancia”… i’m stoked from all the buzz, and it’s tough holding out, hahahaha…

  96. Joy4archie says:

    This day will be filled with Epicness!!! If they leak Ave Maria or Oh Holy Night today, I will be done for. lol

  97. Attitude/Candy says:

    OMG I am stunned by HYAMLC…the vocal duet is breathtaking!! The voices so compliment each other in quailty, tone, the blending is beautiful, one not overshadowing the other. Yikes! I better get my life in order, not sure I will survive the other songs! Good Morning Everyone :)

  98. GG_archudoors says:

    79/ good morning el! :grin:

  99. kimk says:

    Reine ha I think if folks want to listen they should. I just want to wait for a great digital copy and all at once for my first time. I was even up last night to see if it was released after midnight.
    lol I might not make it but thats ok too. Knowing me if it was just bleh I would probably go for it? Does that make sense.

  116. Attitude/Candy says:

    Hi Fg-Im among the weak, so I took the plunge. All I can say is resisting is futile! Dont want to waste a single minute I could be listening!

  117. David From Texas (Christmas from the ♥) says:

    Good morning everyone!
    ♫Happy Christmas Melodies,
    Bring back faded memories… ♫

  118. Nic says:

    Christmas Melodies…I like what it is about. A song that is about how songs remind us what Christmas is about…pretty cool!

  119. GG_archudoors says:

    110/ it’s all good funnygirl – i’m loving the reactions, and it just ramps up the excitement and anticipation more and more :grin: delayed gratification is tough – oh boy is it tough, hahahahah, but i’m sharing in all the excitement :grin:

  120. GG_archudoors says:

    117/ good morning david from texas :grin:

  121. Attitude/Candy says:

  122. FG says:

    Hi Nic and all new posters/lurkers!!!!

    Candy – my time alone is very limited so I gotta go for it while I can. I’m not listening/crying/spazzing with people around rolling their eyes…..

  123. Reine says:

    Hi Candy-is that duet amazing or what?? I hope we get at least on date for california. Nothing so far. I guess I’ll listen to the cd and pretend I am in one of David’s christmas concerts.

  124. Attitude/Candy says:

    oh FG- dec 9th was the MN JB from last year..hmmmmm

  125. David From Texas (Christmas from the ♥) says:

    so sad that we have to wait a little longer, but it will be so worth it!
    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkk, squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  126. kimk says:

    ha I have a joke in my mind but won’t go there. bwahahah!!!

    well loopy Kim here has to do stuff so I can go get my magazine!!!!! HUGS!!!!

  127. Attitude/Candy says:

    123/Hi Reine-I loved the duet, the blending of the voices is so well done, they both shine! So compliment each other!

  128. Joy4archie says:

    121/ Candy- Haha!! I know!! I am a weakling too!

  129. GG_archudoors says:

    114/ you must be a masochist at heart, hahahahha… naw, not calling nobody no masochist :grin: – just an individual, personal desire to s t r e t c h out the anticipation to getting the full monty… that’s ok to say i hope, hahahahah :grin:

  130. Attitude/Candy says:

    Happy Magazine Hunting kimk :)

  131. GG_archudoors says:

    125/ anticipation….. anticipation is making me wait…… it’s keepin’ me way -a- a- a- ting…… lololololol… now i gotta go hunt this carly simon song to fortify me :)

  135. FG says:

    gg – whatever works for you! I’m working tonight, then going out of town for 2 days with the family, then hubby and I are home on Monday then a field trip with my son on Tuesday so I am determined to hear as much as a I can now. I reallllllly wanna hear Ave Maria but if I have to wait til Tuesday I will have to wait. It’ll be something to look forward to!

  136. Attitude/Candy says:

    ROTF-GG-Full Monty, yep works for me. :) BBL

  137. JoyF says:

    Didn’t hesitate for even a fraction of a second. Just jumped right in and listened to both MOC & HYAMLC.

    I reserve my will power for really important stuff like not biting into that luscious, mouth-watering piece of chocolate cake. :lol:

    BTW: Loved both songs..of course. :D I really like the lyrics of MOC. They’re simple but filled with all the feelings of Christmas. Loved the line mentioning Elvis, Celine, Josh…etc. Sounds like my home during the holidays. :D

  138. FG says:

    You guys need to consider your ability to take in the whole CD in one sitting…will it be too much? Will you be interrupted?

  139. Joy4archie says:

    JoyF- I can’t resist chocolate cake either!! lol :D

  140. FG says:

    Like my son just told me “it’s NOT Christmas, will you please turn that off?….” Geeez

  141. JoyF says:

    #132 DFT: Do you know if we can we purchase and download from that site?

  142. GG_archudoors says:

    135/ ave maria is the one i’m waiting for too :) the way chenson described the album progression – orchestral and lush in the first half, more stripped and lean arrangements in the final half is what convinced me to wait… to hear the album as a whole, one song building upon the next till the finish… i’m really, really, really, really stoked to the rafters in anticipation to hear what he so eloquently described, so i’m biting the bullet, my lips, and all kindsa things to wait, hahahhaha… pray for me to hold out :)

  143. FG says:

    I swear a girl can’t get 5 minutes alone with her new David music……

  144. David From Texas (Christmas from the ♥) says:

    I agree, GG, but tell meeee whyyyyyyyy, lol
    haha, True, JoyF. I love both songs also!!!

  145. pattiNC says:

    Hi DFT…here’s the translation for Amazon Germany fan review……I am speechless, still can not utter a word, I just downloaded the album and listened to three times away … and also let it run just in the background … simply: WOW!

    David’s vocals on this album is striking. That voice, so gentle and yet with so much power, so ripe, so profound, so much emotion, but never shooting over the top also … Simply heavenly! Madness! Christmas is coming! Who does not melt away when listening to this album socks with enthusiasm, which can not be helped. I would certainly prefer to go out immediately, get a Christmas tree, invite my family, wrapping presents, baking cookies, while the whole day, listen to this album together. All the best drinks in freezing temperatures and heavy snow outside while you sit in the soothingly warm food and hot chocolate, bake, laugh, be happy …

    The song selection is for a young artist like David – and it comes from the pop genre – amazing, courageous, but just right for David. The album is its title, “Christmas From The Heart” more than fair. You can feel that each song comes from the heart. The orchestra and the arrangements are amazing!

    Bravo, David! Your first masterpiece!

  146. GG_archudoors says:

    140/ lolololololol…. :)

  147. FG says:

    Joy – you cannot order it from Germany – I tried LOL it says “you cannot complete your order due to geographical restrictions….”

  148. GG_archudoors says:

    145/ be still my heart :) oooooooo, excitement is building :)

  149. Joy4archie says:

    GG- Man, that is going to be so hard, but you can do it! In a way, I wanted to wait, but I kinda knew in the back of my mind that I would cave in! Gosh, I have no power against The Voice!!! :)

  150. JoyF says:

    #140 FG: I got that from my sons yesterday. I promised them that they wouldn’t have to listen to anymore Christmas music until Thanksgiving. Until then, it will be just David, me and my headphones. :D

  151. David From Texas (Christmas from the ♥) says:

    JoyF. I don’t think so. Someone tried in chat last night. I think you have to have an email address from that country and understand the language. hmmmm. Worth a try!

  152. pattiNC says:

    GG…woohoo!!!! please, please come to NC David!!!

  153. FG says:

    I’ll be back in a bit!

  154. Mary Jersey Girl {Waiting to see David in November!} says:

    Good Morning!!! Any TOUR DATES!? Im trying to “not” listen to the christmas songs but it is soooooo tempting!! :(

  155. GG_archudoors says:

    143/ that’s what i’m shooting for too, hahahhaa… i want zero distractions when i listen… no phones to answer, no pc’s to monitor, no sound – other than david’s voice filling my house, my ears, my senses… the ”do not disturb” signs will be up until i’ve finished, hee hee :)

  156. GG_archudoors says:

    154/ whassup mary :)

  157. David From Texas (Christmas from the ♥) says:

    eeeeeeeeek, PattiNC! Thanks! I was going to bring that but didn’t know if anyone could translate it! Thanks! Yayayayay! Sounds awesome!

  158. pattiNC says:

    Melodies of Christmas has one part that just sends shivers up and down me!! glad I recovered from my surgery enough to enjoy this! lol

  161. suttygal/JoanieMN says:

    FG/ I went to Jingle Ball last year in St. paul…IT’s where I live. i believe it was actually on Dec. 15,2008.

  162. Stef says:

    Ah you guys make me can’t chat here, you keep talking bout the album ;p

  163. GG_archudoors says:

    149/ i ain’t that tough where david’s concerned! :) no sirreee… :)

  164. suttygal/JoanieMN says:

    I”m guessing that the St. Paul site IS for this year and I could probably peg it at one of a couple places if it’s truly St. Paul and not Minneapolis. SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

  165. Kathy says:

    Katy & David….. Awesome.

    It sounds like they turned down Charice’s vocal a lot. i like it, but I still wish there was some crazy high note by the both of them, lol,

  166. Kathy says:

    Katy & David….. Awesome.

    It sounds like they turned down Charice’s vocal a lot. i like it, but I still wish there was some crazy high note by the both of them, lol,

    153/ hurry back funnygirl :)

  168. David From Texas (Christmas from the ♥) says:

    Hi Stef, Sutty, GG, PattiNC, MJG, FG, Joy4Archie, Kimk, JoyF, Candy and all my FOD family!
    True, PattiNC!
    Maybe NC wouldn’t be out of the picture if SLC doesn’t work.

  169. GG_archudoors says:

    hi suttygal and kathy :)

  170. Stef says:

    Yes tour dates!! I want it, too! Even though I aint goin lol but at least I can see him singing on YT! Haha

  171. Mary Jersey Girl {Waiting to see David in November!} says:

    GG- hey lady! I just read a tweet that he is going to be in St. Paul Minnesota Dec 9! Yeah Sutty boo for me!

  172. JoyF says:

    Squeeeeeeee! I’m going to SLC next month! :D

    Whew..had to let that Squeeeeeeee out or I was gonna burst. :lol:

  173. Kathy says:

    And imagine the live performances by the both of them!!

  174. David From Texas (Christmas from the ♥) says:

    Hi Kathy!

  175. GG_archudoors says:

    136/ hurry back candyyyyyyyyy :)

  178. GG_archudoors says:

    170/ thank goodness for you tube :)

  179. David From Texas (Christmas from the ♥) says:

    haha, Stef! Youtube for the win!
    Awesome JoyF. I still don’t know what to do on concerts

  180. pattiNC says:

    Well if I can’t make it to a concert…I will certainly be listening to every underwater cellcast!

  181. Stef says:

    Kathy, Yeah David + Charice => on OPRAH!!! Thats gonna b AWESOME!!

  182. GG_archudoors says:

    pattinc or david from texas – do either of you have the link to that fan review from germany? :)

  183. JoyF says:

    #179 DFT: Being from the NW has one advantage. I knew David wasn’t going to come any further north or west then Idaho, so SLC was an easy choice to make. The hard part is next…getting good seats for both concerts. I’ll have to talk to Joanie about strategy. ;)

  184. Stef says:

    Patti, so trueee!! Underwater cellcast works for me! Haha

    Fg- No it’s ok! Cause trouble!! :) haha

  262. Kerri says:

    OMG, I just listened to HYAMLC and it is breathtaking ……. I absolutely love it. Also, if you have twitter that poll where Adam it winning now needs to be twittered….I did and ask everyone to spread the word.

  264. FG says:

    LOL you guys are funny!

  265. David From Texas (Christmas from the ♥) says:

    Just tweeted it, Kerri! Team Archuleta is Retweeting it!

  266. Valerie says:

    Aagh, I’m at work so I can’t check out any links. I’m also remaining a spoiler virgin, which is obviously hard right now. About PEOPLE magazine, I hope ppl won’t be too disappointed that the interview is only one short page. I spy a 3rd picture, though! It’s small, and on Page 14 where the theme of the issue (35th birthday) is summarized. It shows Rick & David fighting off fans in the doorway…And as I posted last night, I emailed them about the wrong sales figure. Supposedly a Research crew will investigate it and get back to me. We’ll see. :)

  267. David From Texas (Christmas from the ♥) says:

    awesome Valerie!
    Good morning Valerie, Kerri, FG, Joy4Archie, and Marylee!

  268. Kerri says:

    Thanks David!

  269. Joy4archie says:

    OMG!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

  270. Kerri says:

    Did they mention the Christmas album in the People Mag.?

  271. David From Texas (Christmas from the ♥) says:

    You are welcome, Kerri! Several people and Fan bases have retweeted it. Let’s keep an eye on the poll!
    Thanks Team Archie, Huong DAVN, DArchieLene, LostLibs, XtianHawk, Kawaii_Carley, and IzzatiArch.

    FG: Wow, love the vids

  272. kimk says:

    FG #279 lol now what got into those girls….
    :)
    oh gosh I sure hope there is a show I can go to…
    thank you for posting such lovely videos….

  273. Valerie says:

    Hi, David. And everyone. Kerri, no, they didn’t mention the Christmas album. That would’ve been nice, but…

  274. angelbymyside says:

    ok…what are you gals up to? Trouble??? hehe

  275. Kerri says:

    O.K. thanks Valerie

  276. David From Texas (Christmas from the ♥) says:

    lanfeng ~ Welcome to FOD.

  285. angelbymyside says:

  286. JoyF says:

    lanfeng: Thank you! I’ve already pre-ordered the CD from Amazon and am going to purchase several copies when it’s released in the States on Tuesday so I don’t feel a bit guilty about listening to the songs now. :D

  287. Kerri says:

    lanfeng….thank you, I just cannot resist! OMG O Holy Night took my breath away!

  288. FG says:

    lanfeng – I wouldn’t know how to save them anyway LOL! No true archie angel would not legally purchase the CD/mps3! If I get to hear Ave Maria today it will make my life!!!!

  289. Kerri says:

    Think I will get some ironing done while listening to this OMG….I will burn myself I just know it.

  290. FG says:

  293. pattiNC says:

  295. angelbymyside says:

    I think I had better go now before I cave in and listen. My willpower is weak when it comes to David. I don’t want to listen until I get my CD.

    Have fun everybody.

    Will check back later.

  296. JoyF says:

    Oh my heck! I am a complete mess after hearing Oh Holy Night. I’m seriously blubbering like a baby. The RUNS! The loooong held note. Somebody help me!

  297. FG says:

    OHHHHHMYYYYY

  298. pattiNC says:

    OMG…should album should shut all haters up!!! I gotta get a grip before the next song! guys…omg!!

  299. Shelley says:

  303. pattiNC says:

    JoyF….I KNOW…crazy good!!

  304. Joy4archie says:

    Omg I am crying after hearing O Holy Night!! No song has ever affected me like this. I am literally shaking and can’t stop crying. That was the most moving experience I have ever had in my life. If you guys listen to it, I recommend headphones and close your eyes and feel the music! :’(

  305. Richard (twitter=onerichsong) says:

    Hey all! Good morning… sorry I slept in…

  306. JoyF says:

    #316 pattiNC: I love the way David adds his own signature to each of these songs. They sound new and fresh the way he sings them. Gaaaah…the orchestra!!!!

  307. dh (Donna) says:

    eeeeek, the HYAMLC is on repeat! How am i ever going to get up from the computer? I have to go out of town in an hour! Anyway, good luck to the radio stations trying to decide which of David’s songs to play this holiday season. They might as well just give in and play them all…

  308. pattiNC says:

    SNIPPETS DO NOTHING FOR THESE SONGS!

  309. JoyF says:

    #318 Richard: Are we in heaven? Oh my…love the arrangements, the orchestra, the VOICE!

  310. dh (Donna) says:

    oh yah, and if Oprah doesn’t have Charice and David on to sing this song, she is missing a bet, and a surefire ratings juggernaut.

  311. pattiNC says:

    Richard…standing O for everyone who worked on this album…David sounds incredible!!! arrangements amazing!

  312. JoyF says:

  350. JoyF says:

    #359 Shelley: This is the concert I’ve been wanting to go to since first hearing David on AI. I thank God that he has given me the opportunity to do so. :D

  351. pattiNC says:

    SING IT DAVID!! bring it to church!!

  352. pattiNC says:

    omg the end of Joy to the WOrld!

  353. JoyF says:

    #362 MHEL: No need to apologize sweetie! We’re right there with you. I’m on my 2nd helping of Oh Holy Night. Oooooh..that VOICE! Goosebumps and tears from the sheer beauty of the song.

  354. Shelley says:

    Hi Mehel!!!!!! I know exactly what you mean!!!! lol David’s voice is the most AMAZING thing I have ever heard!!!!

  355. CrazyGood says:

    Hmm…as much as I love to hear the album in advance, I don’t know about that link to the entire album being posted here. People can rip them to mp3s, and not buy the album.

  356. JoyF says:

    #368 CrazyGood: I think you’d have to be VERY computer savvy to do that plus have the right software. I know I couldn’t do it. :lol:

  357. Shelley says:

    368 Crazy good: I would hope the people on this site would never do that!! I’m pretty sure most of us have already preordered several copies!!!

  358. sj says:

    Hi everybody :)

    Oh my goodness – this is amazing!!!!!!!! The intrumental arrangements with David’s voice – WOW! Brilliant! – the arrangement and instrumentation truly captures David’s voice as the most beautiful instrument that it is and showcases it perfectly……..

    There is soooo much interest in the way he sings if that makes sense ………it is a complete EXPERIENCE…… don’t know how else to explain it. I was excited about David singing Christmas songs with his beautiful voice …..but it is soooo much more than that………so many surprises and twists and turns………..David is brilliant……as are all those musicians that had a hand in this project……..

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

  359. JoyF says:

    Ooops..I said that wrong. I wouldn’t even ATTEMPT to do it. I haven’t even tried. I’m content to just listen for now. Tuesday will be here in no time at all now that I can listen to them.

  360. Shelley says:

    After hearing this album I hope I can act right when I see him at the VIP on October 29!!! lol

  361. MHEL (*~*) says:

    omg,omg,omg!richard,are you here?STANDING OVATION TO YOU AND TO KURT AND OF COURSE TO DAVID!OMG!this is priceless!!!!!my family needs to hear this on the 13th,geez!!!!!!!tears of joy all the way…seriously,i’m not kidding!where are the haters?????they need to listen to this,uggghhhhhh!!!!it will melt their hearts……so glorious!!!!

    hi everyone, can’t stop listening!!!!

  362. Joy4archie says:

    Patti- Lol She is healthy now, but might not be after hearing this masterpiece. I just heard Silent Night. Omg!!!!!

  363. JoyF says:

    Just LOVE Pat-A-Pan!! I’ll probably be saying that all day long!

  364. JoyF says:

    :lol: I have my headphones on and keep reaching for my phone at the end of Pat-A-Pan..sounds like it’s ringing.

  365. sj says:

    Each song just takes you on it’s own journey…. down a path, I know that sounds so corny but it just does. I have lots of Christmas cds and some are sing-a-long and some are all about the orchestration but this is something entirely different it truly is……..

  366. sj says:

    376 JoyF – me too! –

    Richard you were sooooooo right about the clips not doing justice – not even the tip of the iceberg

  367. JoyF says:

    OK..it’s official. Melodies Of Christmas is a hit for sure. Kristyl said she loves it! :lol:

  368. pattiNC says:

    SJ…so true!! Love Pat a Pan…sooo cool!

  369. pamtimmie4david (and up's the only way that I know how to fall) says:

    I just figured out what I am going to do! I am giving out some of my Christmas presents way early so they can enjoy from now until Christmas!!!

  370. JoyF says:

    SJ: I agree. I have a lot of Christmas CDs, but this one is unique! The arrangements, the voice… all are fresh and new! :D

  371. pattiNC says:

    Funnygirl…You alright?? please check in!!! LOL before Ave Maria is up

  372. JoyF says:

    Joy To The World is so different than any other version I’ve heard. Excellent!

  373. Richard (twitter=onerichsong) says:

    Ya’ll haven’t even heard the one I’m most excited for you to hear. Thanks for all the comments, but really, I didn’t do much. Just doin’ what I love to do. Tryin’ to make those around me better. D just makes it easy.

  374. sj says:

    I need the last 4 songs – I have to leave and am afraid they will be taken down before I get back….. I am just listening through once – that way when I get my cd on Tuesday I won’t have every little surprise and nuance down – it will still be like new. :)

  375. pamtimmie4david (and up's the only way that I know how to fall) says:

    386 – Hi Richard – which one is that?

  376. Joy4archie says:

    Pat A Pan is so awesome!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it more than I thought I would!

  377. Shelley says:

    I can’t wait to hear WCIT and Ava Maria!!!!

  378. pamtimmie4david (and up's the only way that I know how to fall) says:

    I am only finding up to Pat-a-Pan – where are the others? ‘

  379. pattiNC says:

    I bet you want us to hear Ave Maria Richard…that’s what I’m waiting for..was going to the beach, but now I’m listening to Christmas songs!

  380. jc says:

    pat a pan should be in the radio.

  381. angelbymyside says:

    I am dying here reading all of your comments!!! I don’t know if I can hold out listening until 10/13..but I will TRY!

  382. JoyF says:

    Angels We Have Heard On High… Just WOW!

  383. JoyF says:

    Have the downloads stopped?

  384. sj says:

    Oh Richard – you’re still here – you’re being way to modest – kinda like someone else. haha David is amazing but I’m sure without you all it couldn’t have been this spectacular – It took a lot of people to make the cd what it is – thank you for sharing your talent with all of us as well – I know, I know it’s a tough job working with David but someone’s gotta do it, right? ;)

  385. Jana~Oregon♥ ♬ ♬CFTH♬ ♬ says:

    I am here at work listening w/my earphones…I am really trying to keep the tears at bay..’Angels We Have Heard on High” so beautiful! And OHN….and Pat a PAN!!! Good Grief you guys!

  386. Nemo says:

    hey all I caved and listened to the Christmas melodies and all i have to say is ….AWESOMEAGE, ALL KINDS OF AWESOMEAGE!!!!

  436. naree says:

    WCIT has always been my most favorite christmas song since i was a child. That’s why was so happy David would sing it.

    It ha me crying from the first note. No hands raised here

  437. Attitude/Candy says:

    I am a total flailing spazz! Each song is blowing me away!

  438. JoyF says:

    Oh my…there he goes again with holding those long notes in Riu Riu Chiu. Goosebumps!

  439. Attitude/Candy says:

    THIS is the music the man needs to sing, be gone pop!! His voice is destined to sing great music like this!

    I wonder why Amazon or other stores don’t use the best part of the songs for samples. Some people decide that they’re going to buy CDs or not from listening to the samples, my opinion. May be someone should tell them, hehe.

    WOW!!!
    That is all

  491. Lorna says:

    With tears in my eyes and my heart pounding, how do I even begin to find the words to describe what David has accomplished.

    With every single track David grabs you and pulls you right into the emotional journey he is taking. What a rare and special gift he has!

    BRAVO to all involved in this CD…… IT”S TRULY A MASTERPIECE!

  492. Attitude/Candy says:

    THE VOICE, THE VOICE, THE VOICE…WE KNEW IT WAS THERE!!

  493. pamtimmie4david (and up's the only way that I know how to fall) says:

  496. pamtimmie4david (and up's the only way that I know how to fall) says:

  497. JoyF says:

    I want this album NOW! I want to listen in my car, in the living room, on my Ipod….everywhere!

  498. MHEL (*~*) says:

    pamtimmie4david,

    I THINK SO……my post with the link for marylee is waiting for moderation hehehe….

  499. pam05 (GOBSMACKED BY THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN VOICE) says:

    The boys choir is amazing as well love it!!! The symphony is outstanding, I am so gobsmacked by this!!!

  500. cst says:

    And…why wasn’t David singing Ave Maria when I used the song to walk down the aisle during my wedding? Maybe because I might not have gotten married…haha, just kidding. I love my husband. Actually my cousin sang Ave Maria during my wedding and she was great. David’s verison is gorgeous and beautiful. What a voice! It is strong and with such wonderful control. I’m getting my copy Tuesday, and purchasing some for family too.

  501. JoyF says:

    #503 Candy: YES! I broke into a HUGE smile at reading your post! We knew that the VOICE was there… have been waiting for it to be unleashed. And HERE IT IS! :D

  502. ME says:

    Richard, you’re a genius…

  503. Attitude/Candy says:

    502/Lorna-I so agree- the quality of this cd is beyond anything I had envisioned, it goes beyond the normal scope of “background” the time, effort, love that was put into this will make it a Christmas Tradition for generations to come!

  504. Reine says:

    Candy-I Love your excitement. I agree 100% that Wcis and Avemaria are master class. Both songs showcase David’s voice t the fullest. I am not normally an emotional person but both songs really touch my hearth.

  505. Gail Hyatt says:

    I know it’s “just” streaming… but streams are easily rip-able. Just don’t post it here. PM each other.

  506. Tom says:

    Ok, so where are you guys hearing the songs at? Are they the whole song? I have only found two full songs so far.

  507. JoyF says:

    Why would the links be deleted? We can’t download these songs. :(

  508. MHEL (*~*) says:

    omg!!!i loved ave maria soooooooooo much…full of emotions,…….i feel like christmas and holy week at the same time…i mean the passions and emotions he put in that song is amazing,amazing,amazing!!!i’d better stop now…..

    thank you guys for sharing!!

  509. Attitude/Candy says:

    Im thinking to stay within the legal confines of posting the links here, they will probably come and go.

  510. Joy4archie says:

    Omg Ave Maria!! :O That was so beautiful! His voice!! Omg!! I am in tears again!

  511. NorthCarolinaGirl♥Marylee (♫You're Just Too Good To Be True...can't take my eyes off of you♫) says:

    ~I’ll try to type but my tears are getting in the way! I just don’t have any words to describe how Ave Maria made me feel! I’ve heard that song performed by so many different people…I’ve always found it to be moving and touching…but there’s just something about David’s voice that takes me to an emotional level that I’ve never experienced before in my lifetime…speechless…overwhelmed…I’m going to listen again. David, what have you done to us! Thank you!!

  512. JoyF says:

    Gail: Hmmmmm

    Won’t post again until Jenny or Becky give the ok

  513. pam05 (GOBSMACKED BY THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN VOICE) says:

  518. pamtimmie4david (and up's the only way that I know how to fall) says:

    Anybody know what Riu Riu Chiu means?

  519. Lorna says:

    #513 Candy, any expectations we had were truly blown out of the water. I was expecting it to be amazing, but this just leaves you breathless.

  520. Attitude/Candy says:

    Tom-Sent!

  521. JoyF says:

    #531 Lorna: Listening to snippets, I was impressed because it was David. Now I’m amazed because it’s David but also because of the arrangements. :D

  522. angelbymyside says:

    kimk ~ ♥ ~ did you get your People Magazine?

  523. Valerie says:

    Candy- 499~ “..we all caved.” Haha, yeah, I can see that. :)

  524. Joy4archie says:

    Gosh, Who else has chills all over their body after Ave Maria? I didn’t know David could sing like “that”. And I’m sure you know what I mean by “that”. The Ending!! *dies*

  525. angelbymyside says:

    I am still holding out until I get the CD in my hands on 10/13! No listening for me until then. lol

  526. gay lynn says:

    Thanks Pam, teary!

  527. Attitude/Candy says:

    539/Joy4Archie-I know exactly what you mean by “that.” We knew the man could sing and has a great gift but did we foresee this…Get him to Carnegie Hall stat!

  528. Shelley says:

    I will listen to this album all the time when I get it!!!! I am overwhelmed right now!!! I can’t wait until the 13th!!!!

  529. karenkid says:

    Just so you know, those links CAN be ripped. There will be no stopping it from going global. Think about that please :)

  530. angelbymyside says:

    Candy ~ Can you imagine David singing in Carnegie Hall? Be still my heart!!!

  531. GG_archudoors says:

    hi everyone!! – keep flailing, keep flailing, hahahha – i love it :) can’t wait to hear it on tuesday…. :)

  532. Joy4archie says:

    Candy- Yes!! He truly has a gift. And he is our gift!!!

  533. karenkid says:

    Once it;s out there anywhere the ones who know how to do this will spread it like wildfire. I know none of you wants to hurt David this way, so please, please, don’t post it here any more.

  534. GG_archudoors says:

    539/ that’s it abms – we gotta stay strong, hahahhaha :)

  535. angelbymyside says:

    If those links are posted here in comments, I hope the mods remove them.

  536. burkey says:

    Hi everyone……….I’m not going to listen to any more songs from the CD & I am worried that some people may download these illegally & not let David get the $$ he deserves for all his hard work.

    I, myself, am buying many mp3s and several actual CDs.

  541. pamtimmie4david (and up's the only way that I know how to fall) says:

    545 – karenkid – didn’t know! Thanks for the enlightenment!

    I am so sorry I reposted links! Thanks, FOD for pulling the links. I am so technically challenged that I didn’t know the ramifications of posting the links! Sorry David, sorry Richard, sorry FOD! Mea maxima culpa!

  542. FG says:

    I had no idea that it could be ripped from just a listening link….I won’t post the link.

    This is just incredible. I am so happy and proud!

  544. Nancy says:

    Please do not post that link again. It could hurt David’s sales. People can download from it. I know that wasn’t the intent but let’s just wait a few more days.

  545. pam05 (GOBSMACKED BY THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN VOICE) says:

    7-11 HAS THE PEOPLE MAGAZINE!!!

  546. Tom says:

    Thanks Candy,
    Too bad I can go to this “personal” site at work, I’ll have to check when I get home. BTW – I will be emailing everyone on the Stroudsburg list tonight with update information.

    Also, for anyone who has emailed me about going to that show and I have not responded, I apologize but I have all of the tickets I am getting accounted for already so if something changes I will let FOD know and we will go from there. Thanks

  547. GG_archudoors says:

    554/ hahahha – i’m loving the excitement!! it justs amps up the anticipation for tuesday :)

  548. karenkid says:

    It’s only a few days till the official release. We are able to wait that long, right??? I rarely care this much about anything – but I really care about David getting the $$’s for his effort.

  549. Nic says:

    I want tlisten to the songs too!

  550. burkey says:

    556 FG

    I did not know this either………I thought they were just “listening” links

    so not I feel bad…….

  551. GG_archudoors says:

    558/ ”thumbs up”

  552. FG says:

    Where is AndreaC?? Has she heard Ave Maria?

  553. Nancy says:

    We know you wouldn’t hurt David for anything and didn’t know.

  554. jeani/ut says:

    All the links are XXXXXXx. I’m a little too late. I called WalMart to make sure they will have it. They didn’t know but said they have boxes of Christmas music back there. hmmmm very helpful. I’ve ordered a ton of them, but they wont get here for a few weeks after the 13th.

  555. burkey says:

    woops……….now

  556. karenkid says:

    I know you love David – no question there. Thanks for letting me jump in with my thoughts :)

  557. pam05 (GOBSMACKED BY THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN VOICE) says:

    :shock: O Holy Night!!! Tears, chills!!! OMD!!!!!

  558. FG says:

    Burkey – color me clueless! Yikes.

  559. JoyF says:

    I think most of us are pretty computer illiterate when it comes to ripping and such. :(

  560. Attitude/Candy says:

    KK-understand about the links being ripped, they are already global in that other countries have copies. Will do what we can here.

  561. GG_archudoors says:

    565/ don’t feel bad – it’s easy to forget how easy technology has made it for files like that to get ripped, passed around, and downloaded from place to place, with no recourse for the artists to gain a dime from legal sales… excitement to hear the songs is at a fever pitch, and it’s hard trying not to succumb to listening… but i’ll bite the bullet, and try not to make it easier for those inclined to illegally download david’s album…

  562. FG says:

    Oh Pam05 – this is tooo much. gahhhhhhhh my heart and soul are exploding!!!
