  • This is one of my all time favorites from David! Beautiful song and a beautiful man. Actually this is the first video I noticed how gorgeous he looks :)

  • It's been way too long since I've watched this video. It never gets old.

  • Still one of my favorite videos ever... The Voice, purely acoustic, singing from Analog Heart. It doesn't get any better than this. Makes me wish I could travel back in time for just a song or two.

  • I so very much wish the sound was not so f'ed up because this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Love it on Analog Heart but this? Would pay lot of money for a good quality sound.

  • A sizzling sexy hot volcano of a Man and his Truths!

  • Where I can buy this mediator at his neck? Sorry for my bad english, is it pendant or something different?

  • Where I can buy this mediator at his neck?

  • This is absolutely my favorite song off Analog Heart.

  • What is the song?

  • @iC00Ler It's called the Truth off his pre-Idol album, Analog Heart.

  • I never knew he was so hot before AI. He's looks almost as good as he does now and a lot better then he did at his first audition.

  • I would pay SO much for this wtih good audio, just say'in

  • Oh David -- hang on -- in a few months, you WILL be able to pay the rent!!! This just kills me, knowing that when he did this, he had no idea what was coming. And, my kingdom for a sound guy -- where are those people when you need them?

  • Singer/Songwriter --- excels at both!!!

  • I wasn´t a big fan of this song on Analog Heart...but this version I considered it one of his most beautiful and captivating perfomances ever*

  • i would buy any songs from david cook..i'll die if i cant get my hands on his album..

  • what is this song called

  • The Truth

    It's from his pre-idol indie release Analog Heart.

  • Hint hint - to anyone who has power over these things - I think there's a big market for an acoustic version of this song. It's beautiful.

  • How is this song not on his album???!!

  • It's on the Analog Heart album.

    But yeah, this song is my favourite song of his. And this video is the fucking sexiest thing in the world.

  • pure beauty, enuff said

    <3

  • Good Lord above, eternal thanks bestowed upon You for letting David Cook exist...that is all.

  • I think the pre idol songs that he did are good. For me they are more relax and meaningful... I believe that it was written from his experience and most of all from the heart.... Peace!!!

  • I think i has that same guitar. just righthanded :)

  • does anyone know if he actually recorded this as a live acoustic track and if it on cd itunes or what??? its his best song.

  • I agree, it's my favourite song too, but it's not on iTunes or anywhere. :( You can find Analog Heart to download if you do some digging online. Or message me :)

  • this is my fav song from analog heart.....this acoustic version is breathtakingly beautiful.......

  • The Truth is frikin awesome

    David is frikin awesome

    I love him so much it's retarded!

  • TABS CHORDS ANYONE.!

  • I think he looks insanely sexy here - way before Idol. He was already a smoking HAWT LAVA BOMB!!!! And the song is pure beauty. The way he goes up to high notes with such ease...they are so huge and resonant!!!! like at 3:06

    AMAZING. The words are so pure too... this has been one of my favorite DC songs for a while.

  • Me too, it's been my favourite for a while. The song and this video. And I also think he looks insanely sexy. More so than now... I don't know, somehow nothing beats this.

  • i couldn't agree with you more.

    is it wrong to say he has me completely enthralled?

    <3

    his voice is just amazing.

  • Simply beautiful to see such soul

  • It's actually really really good!! I think his voice is better now, after idol, but still it's amazing... as his abilities for the guitar... If anyone nows how to figure out the tabs or basic chords please i beg you to tell me... i've been looking for them for years... but of this version, not the album one...

  • wow, he seems so deep in the song. :'] i can't stop listening to this. his voice is so soothing I FUCKING LOVE HIM <3 thats probably where i'm tryna get at :D

  • :D sure made me smile! cookie! YAY! i luvee this song

  • i dont even want to know how many times I've watched this....

  • Too bad the sound goes in and out. It's still great though! And I love that face he makes when he looks down at the guitar. He does it all the time and I love it.

  • oh, i thought he was just mouthin those words,lol, i thought it was so cool....lol, guess not....i agree that face is crazy cute and when he closes his eyes...**faints**...he's so into the song.....thats so sadd ): but i love him (:

  • It kills me that he would put that green polish on his poor bitten fingernails, heh. And he already had 'The Look' (you know what I mean)down pat before AI ever started!

  • the truth!!!!

  • Gorgeous song, gorgeous performance!! Just wish he'd stayed a bit closer to the mic so his voice wouldn't keep wavering in and out. Or maybe that adds to the ethereal quality. :)

  • Oh my God! When was this? Awesomeeeee.. :D

  • OMG this gave me goosebumps. He is so amazing!!

  • I can't stop watching......im sitting here clasping my mouth "while the tears roll down", u get it a david cook quote? When he sang the world i no those lyrics r in it........this is beyond beautiful, anyone else think his song "StraighAhead" fits his winning of american idol perfectly. Think about it. "So take a minute just to breathe, and think of everything you wanted..and what you got instead." How more perfect could that be? I don't think he can even fathom how much i love him.....sigh..

  • i looove "Straight Ahead" and that line... the whole chorus really... love it. agree 100%

  • about to start crying, holy crap, so beautiful. You can feel the emotion!! He looks so cute too (: The minute i turned ito n i stated singing and a sudden rush of emotion hit me, im crying.....

  • HOLY CRAP. I HAVE TO STOP WATCHING BEFORE I START SOBBING. *drool*

  • GORGEOUS!!!

    I JUST DIED!

    *THUD*

  • damn i love this song

  • where was this at???

  • DC at his best as usual. Untimate musician

  • He's so amazing.

    I have this song on my iTunes, along with the rest of his Analog Heart songs. :P

  • I.can't.take.my.eyes.off.his.m­-o-u-t-h! *drools* this was..mmmm..beautiful in EVERY way!! :o I've had this vid. added to my favs. for a loooong time now and I never get sick of watching it!! ; )

  • Good grief, this is beautiful, and from the heart. Amazing performance. What a great heartbreaking video this would make.

  • Absolutely beautiful in every way. His voice is breathtaking in this song.

  • A beautiful face! A beautiful voice!

  • the truth, optimistic to a fault, makeover, stitches, + countless others...

    one wonders, where does he get his inspiration from?

    If I ever meet him, that is the one question i'll make myself ask even if I become a giggling, babbling idiot. I'm wayyy too curious about that. He did say in one interview that he's had some really bad relationships...

    hmm....

    reply if you have any thoughts!

    ;-D

  • Have you heard his axium song piece of mind ( song for sarah) that's a sweet one too!!

  • ya! I have, that's really good too! So many of his songs are amazing, there's such a fine line between the very best of the best and the simply amazing, you know?

    so, do you know the back story for that song?

    who's sarah?

    lol, I feel like such a gossip monger....

  • I don't really but I do remember seeing a picture of a girl I THOUGHT was sarah....she was skinny with black hair... but I cannot find it again for the life of me do you have tickets for the tour?

    what's your fav song?

  • ya, I went to the tour in la. I actually had amazing seats, but unfortunately i got them 2 hours before the concert started, so I never got to meet our cookie :(

    again, it's very very very hard to choose a favorite, but I think optimistic to a fault wins, with the acoustic version of the truth(if it had better sound quality) a close second.

    is peace of mind your fave?

  • IM NOT ALONE

    Optimistic to a fault is my favorite,

    The acoustic truth in a close second

    the intimacy of his acoustic performances is what does it!

    I also love silver, searchlights, and makeover. Also don't say a word, because that is the first analog heart song I ever heard

    I'll be seeing him 8.24.08 in houston. I am so nervous about meeting him!! do you have an email I think it would be easier to talk on there I LOVE talking with cookie fans, as there aren't any actually in real life, around me

  • haha, all my friends make fun of me for liking american idol, and they don't even know the extent of my obsession with david cook...

    I'm really bad with email but if you have myspace or facebook or we could just communicate through the youtube messaging system?

    but you're right on with the comment about the acoustic versions. they just catch you, and they ring true, I dunno. I feel like he's baring his soul and its a really intimate moment in that sense

    lol, i analyze this stuff too much...

  • are you kidding me

    Im katie eccles search me on facebook

    and im proud to say it is an obbsession!!! and none of my friends get it so IM GLAD you do i'll wait for ya on facebook

  • um...there are a LOT of katie eccles on facebook...can you give me any info to let me know which one you are? thanks!

    yay!but, hey, i heard that cookie said he wasn't going to put optimistic to a fault on his new album! (it's actually called better never than late) that would be so devastating!

  • nevermind! from houston, right? i think i found you, LOL...

  • Have you heard "Still" by Axium? I cried the first time I listened to it.

  • ya, i have. that's also such a good song. But, i think my faves from axium are "Hold" "Somber" and "Therapy"

    have you heard those?

  • Lol, of course I've heard those! I have them all on my iPod. I pretty much have all his music: Matter of Time, Blindsided, The Story Thus Far, Analog Heart. I even have Not Around and Red Hot from a demo of theirs.

  • niceeeeee

    I also have all of his albums! he's just so earnest in all of his songs, and the lyrics have such a strong truth to them, it astonishes me! I can't take it, LOL, it's like a David Cook OVERLOAD...

    but i like it, hehe ;)

  • You have no idea. I cannot go one day without listening to David; otherwise I go into Cookie withdrawal. My family pretty much hates him now because of me. But I could care less, cause it's more for me. When his album comes out in November, they will see his brilliance and apologize for hating him...at least I hope so...

  • haha, i know what you mean about the withdrawal...

    i had no access to a computer for two days and I was seriously starting to panic, LOL. Thank GOD i had my iPod, so i could listen to him, but I had no updates....yes, i am that far gone, LOL. he is brilliant though. im always wondering how much of his work is directly influenced by his life b/c I feel like im reading his journal every time i listen to most of his songs. i could talk about his gorgeous lyrics all day, LOL

  • I was in California for a week, and I had no computer access. I was DYING! I had my iPod, but I couldn't listen to it very often, 'cause I was at a Youth Conference. But I agree about your comment on his lyrics. Whenever I hear Still or Not Around, I feel like he's letting me have a glimpse into his world. I would love to ask him how he writes songs, and maybe write a song or two with him...

  • Oh my gosh. Me too. One day at school I was about to die if I couldn't hear Analog Heart.

  • ok this necklace can anyone make out if it's a real pic and how does he have it on like a leather necklace?

  • This has got to be one of my all-time fave performances of David's....even with the shitty sound system cutting in and out. :)

  • There is a point where he sings the high note at the end that sound totally awesome and gives me goosebumps. It almost sounds not human. He really has an amazing voice.

  • He looks absolutely freakin' hot in this video, in spite of the green fingernail polish.  He needs to go back to just the soul patch for facial hair so you can see those incredibly gorgeous lips!! LOSE the beard David so we can see your cute face. Why did it take 10 years for this guy to be discovered??? His voice is AWESOME and his stage presence is completely natural. ROCK on DC, we love you!!!

  • omg! this is awsome

  • WOW!!!..beautiful, rich voice. And those LIPS!!!

  • Sound man needs more training LOL sounds like the mic wasn't running into the sound board. I really wanted to hear the words, I could hear them when he punched it, but I am selfish and a bit spoiled when it comes to sound.The picking is clear as a bell though.

  • His nails are colored...

    He is imperfectly perfect / perfectly imperfect???

    David Cook 4ever!!!

  • this is much better in acoustic:)

  • Wow - just awesome!

  • hes so sexy

  • This is still my favourite youtube video.

    By a mile.

  • ILOVEHIM!

  • Glad to know there are other cookrazies out there. I get my fix in secret every day here on youtube. My daughter makes fun of me. I'm from Tulsa, and he sang at my work between Omaha and Hollywood. I was so stressed and he sang so quietly I hardly noticed him. I kick myself every day for that!!!!

  • wow, I liked that song!!

  • excellent

  • This men have a amazing voice,and is so HOT :D

    Thanks for the video ;)

    Hugs from Brazil!!

  • if you wanna know THE TRUTH... everyone has someone who 'makes or breaks' their day. wow. he just totally put it in simple terms...and over the past few months i have totally worn out my mp3 with this song. best ever!!!!

  • There is an mp3 of this song? In the same acoustic version? Does it have better sound quality? Sorry for so many questions:b Thanks! :)

  • there sure is!! it's off his analog heart cd...not an acoustic version...which by the way is an incredible way for him to sing this one...for a brief moment before Idol you could get his songs online. They took it all off shortly there after. Hmmm...wonder why? LOL anywho...you should be able to search David Cook - The Truth and get some pretty good links. Good Luck!!!!

  • thanks very much for posting this as there's very little out there pre Idol with this kind of clarity. very nice. what a honey. you can't help but be happy for him. might rank as the nicest idol in 7 seasons. i see great things for this one. you can feel it. it seems like his reception this last week is MASSIVE compared to previous winners(course the show is getting bigger and bigger every year).

  • i love this song soooo much...David Cook is so amazing!!!

  • are his nails painted black??? it looks like it.

  • I don't care for the (green?) polish, however his gorgeous, full lips distract me from anything else (especially the top one) as he's holding the notes at the end WOW!

  • is there an mp3 of this? i totally love this song acoustic

  • God help me, I go to sleep with his songs in my head and wake up to them too. I wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall asleep again because he's there in my head. Is anyone else out there going through this? Please say I'm not alone-He's like a drug...

  • oh my god! thank god i found you! me too!!!i can't think about anything else, it's too much! he's so sweet and sensitive and smart, and so rough sexy when he sings! is that how you feel too? it's like my heart is exploding! i know i sound crazy, but that's what he does to you!totally love him!!!

  • lol. me too. he's a drug im addicted too. i am in a david cook phase.

  • he has taken over my life. My bf thinks I am insane. Our whole DVR is filled with AI, everytime he comes in the office I have this video on and the play count on my itunes is just scary. I am madly in love with everything about him - his eyes and smile, his voice, his kindeness and intelligence, his jokes, how he moves. have you seen the tribute by crichoch? it's beautiful. I dont know who she is, but she is in the same boat as us. search for david cook + guardian angel - u will see what I mean.

  • The sad thing is that I'm the exact same way. XD ♥

  • He IS a very special person, much beyond his looks and music. He appeals to so many, for different reasons and is a true gift from God. He is going to make a HUGE impact in this world in SO many ways! :)

  • everything in him is just so sexy ... (2)

    He has great lips, great mouth, great everything! (2)

    He is the embodiment of the man of my dreams... How can I reach him...?

  • I know how can I reach him and he does have all those things

  • everything in him is just so sexy.............

  • He has great lips, great mouth, great everything!

  • i love this song..the notes he hits at the end are amazing.

  • Yes it is exactly the way he bowed his head in Music of the Night!!!

    I have been trying to tell everybody since the beginning of the season that this guy is just flat out brilliant. This is an acoustic version of the song The Truth which is on Analog Heart, and is an AMAZING song that he wrote of course. Golden arrows called notes just fly out of that pretty mouth and pierce your heart and soul... Wow.

    And could he be more GORGEOUS in this vid???????

    I think NOT!!!!!!!!! :D

  • Wow,beautiful line - Golden arrows called notes.... perfectly said!

  • I'm probably the only person who noticed this, but the way he bows his head at this performance reminds me of how he bowed his head at the end of Music of the Night.

  • he is so beautiful ion every way

  • Yes!! i'm glad he won was it was a very interesting finally waaauuuu... it was very amazing ... it was!! i hope that he get what he wants in all his carrer... I love him!!!

  • i am madly in love

  • So true--this is the most beautiful performance I have ever seen--ever-- intense

  • Ok.... I am ready to make a daring statement..... Of all the performances and videos I've seen of him (and there's a lot) I think he looks the most beautiful right here. Quietly singing his own song. He's so insanely gorgeous here.

  • I have to totally agree with this one.

  • This song has blown me away! David has a serious talent and I'm so glad that he's finally getting to share his talents with the world. I wish him all the luck in the world.

  • There's tears in my eyes but I'm too mesmerized by him to cry.

    I never get tired of this video.

    It's so sexy when he isn't singing and he's looking down at his guitar.

  • anyone knows when this was?

  • oct 17th

  • I wish I was his girlfriend

  • SEXIEST MAN ALIVE........GOD!

  • What a pleasure to see a man of such wild talent with substance, both personal and professional. True heart and soul.

  • there is nothing hotter then

    1) a rocker

    2) a guy with a fo hawk

    3) luscious lips

    4) can play the guitar

    5) and able to write his own songs

  • oh those lips. scrumptuous!!!!!!!!!

  • just WOW. his voice is so strong, pure, and full of emotion. his talent is a breath of fresh air fom all the crap that's out there. haven't been this intrigued by an artist in a long time. David Cook's goin' all the way!

    also, if any talented soul out there can tab this song...please share with us struggling, beginning guitarists (ehem, myself) :)
