David’s performance is up!!

I love the introduction by Nigel Lithgoe.  So true, all of it, except for the part about it being David’s new single.  We know that’s ‘Something ‘Bout Love.’   Watch:

 

Thank you to Andreasc47  for being so speedy!

And below is Tom’s version.  He stayed up until 3am and it’s a beautiful HD version:

 

The mp3 is available here, thanks to @Rince25:

Things Are Gonna Get Better mp3

I’m posting this, however, please be sure to purchase ALL of David’s music LEGALLY when it becomes available.  Do I sound like a teacher warning her class? *insert hairy eyeball here*

Ah!  I’m so glad I was able to watch with friends on the Livestream and Twitter, haha!  My TV station isn’t broadcasting the telethon until much later this morning.

Lyrics!

Virginia promises that, even though she downloaded the mp3 already, she is going to buy David’s cd LEGALLY in October!  We believe you, Virginia!  She very kindly sent us the lyrics to this amazingly inspirational song:

 

 

“Things Are Gonna Get Better” by David Archuleta (2010)


Everybody’s got a time in their life
When everything hurts and nothing’s right
But you gotta walk on
Yeah, you gotta walk on
Everybody’s got a piece of their heart
That’s been stepped on and torn apart
But you gotta move on
Yeah, you gotta walk on
‘Cause I know it’s hard to have the strength and
Sometimes all you feel is pain but
Time keeps floating by on that river in the night
But I know things are gonna get better
And I know, things are gonna be fine
And I know, things are gonna get better
Life is gonna get better
Yeah, we’re gonna be fine
Everybody’s got that one regret
No matter how they try, they can’t forget
But you gotta move on
Yeah, you gotta move on
And everybody’s got someone they lost
And they can’t believe they’re really gone
But you gotta live on
Yeah, you gotta live on
‘Cause I know it’s hard to have the strength and
Sometimes all you feel is pain but
Things floating by on that river in the night
But I know things are gonna get better
And I know, things are gonna be fine
And I know, things are gonna get better
Life is gonna get better
Yeah, we’re gonna be fine
And I know there’s hope
I see it in your eyes
So take me, touch me
‘Cause with a little bit of love, we can win the fight
With a little bit of love, we can see the light
With a little bit of love, it’ll be alright
I know things are gonna get better
And I know, things are gonna be fine
And I know, things are gonna get better
Life is gonna get better
Yeah, we’re gonna be fine
Walk, walk, walkin’ by
And keep, keep, keep walkin’ on
Keep, keep, keep walkin’ on

David sends a message to fans about the MDA Telethon tonight!  He will be performing in the 10 o’clock hour (PT).

Love the Green Eggs and Ham shirt.  Almost bought that one for my son the other day but he opted for Marvin the Martian.

David to Perform New Song Tonight in Front of…

…40 million viewers or so.  Ya, 40 million. Don’t be nervous, David!  Think about all of those kids you are helping!

Can’t wait to hear “Things Are Gonna Get Better.”  I love it already, and that’s my unbiased opinion.

David will perform for Jerry Lewis’s amazing MDA telethon, broadcast from Southpoint Hotel, Casino, and Spa in Vegas.  Click to go:

The Telethon broadcast will begin at 9 p.m. ET on Sunday, Sept. 5, and conclude at 6:30 p.m. ET on Monday, Sept. 6. Viewers should check local listings for Telethon air times in their regions.  You can also click on this link to find out if your local station is broadcasting the event:

You can livestream the telethon here:

David mentioned that he will be performing in the 10 o’clock hour PT.  Ya.  That’s 1:00am ET.  I will be in bed unless I take a nap this afternoon.

And guess what else…

MDA Telethon is tomorrow, David  to appear – Woot!

Well, at least we have an idea of when David will be performing!  I’m psyched! Hopefully he’ll let us know a little more, although I know tomorrow is Sunday and we typically don’t get tweets from David on Sundays.

Photo Gallery shared by Orla Fallon!

Examiner.com has posted an article about Orla Fallon’s Celtic Christmas Special and posted some exclusive pictures!  Read this:

Candles and a harp were set up for Fallon’s duet with David Archuleta on “Silent Night.” Archuleta performed two more carols for the event.

I wasn’t able to embed them, so click here to get to the exclusive photo gallery.

Natasha and David performing on October 2nd!

From ml.com:

Grand Rapids – ArtPrize will host two free concerts downtown with Natasha Bedingfield, David Archuleta and other notables.

Staff  announced the 2010 ArtPrize Concert Series to be held in conjunction with the fall arts competition at Rosa Parks Circle.

The music is another way to enhance the ArtPrize experience, said ArtPrize Executive Director Bill Holsinger-Robinson. “Whether viewing art, learning through the speakers series or celebrating through live musical performances, all these experiences promote collisions among the public, artists and city spaces.”

What is ArtPrize? I found this on their site:


A radically open art competition, giving away the world’s largest art prize. Part arts festival, part social experiment – this international art contest is decided solely on a public vote. Art festival runs Sept. 22 through October 10, 2010. Come and see.

Just click on the info below to go to the site:

Ohmygoshashely,  Wouldn’t it be awesomeage if David and Natasha did a duet together? Gah!

Also, aren’t I just a wealth of information tonight?  (teehee)

Mikinzie and her family went to see David perform on August 22 – they had a great time!
