Crush, David Archuleta's first single, was released on the radio today. It was Happy. - - - on the subject of the song: It is quite shallow and childish... and yet... is that so horrible? It honestly takes me back to when I was like 11 years old, and everything had to do with my current "crush." Have we all been through that? I think most of us, some of us more than others. But I believe that everyone can relate to this song, whether they're going through it, or have gone through it. It was an immature time, and we realize that afterwards, but we had to go through it. It is part of growing. It's kind of a beautiful time, in a way. We were so wonderfully naive and everything was dramatic, either fantastic or awful, depending on the circumstances. ::laughs:: It is for this reason that I don't mind David's first single being semi-shallow. Well, that and the fact that his success can be found in 9-16 year old girls right now, who are all "crushing" on him. It's going to be massively popular. So that's going to be the launch for him. I also know that he understands that it is that way. He is where he is right now because he did sing songs with more heavy and mature lyrics. He earned his title, and now he is free to do whatever he wishes with American Idol as his launch pad. He will sing more meaningful, soulful songs with depth someday. For right now, Crush is such a catchy song that my play count is currently at 60.  Sometimes it's nice to listen to simple songs. I think too much at times.
Crush by David Archuleta I hung up the phone tonight Something happened for the first time, deep inside It was a rush, what a rush 'Cause the possibility that you would ever feel the same way about me It's just too much, just too much Why do I keep running from the truth All I ever think about is you You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized And I just got to know Do you ever think When you're all alone All that we can be Where this thing can go Am I crazy or falling in love Is it real or just another crush Do you catch a breath When I look at you Are you holding back Like the way I do 'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away But I know this crush ain't going away, going away Has it ever crossed your mind When we're hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends Is there more, is there more See it's a chance we've got to take 'Cause I believe that we can make this into Something that will last, last forever, forever Do you ever think When you're all alone All that we can be Where this thing can go Am I crazy or falling in love Is it real or just another crush Do you catch a breath When I look at you Are you holding back Like the way I do 'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away But I know this crush ain't going away, going away Why do I keep running from the truth All I ever think about is you You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized And I just got to know Do you ever think When you're all alone All that we can be Where this thing can go Am I crazy or falling in love Is it real or just another crush Do you catch a breath When I look at you Are you holding back Like the way I do 'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away But I know this crush ain't going away, going away This crush ain't going away, a w a y |
