David Cook - Take Me As I Am - Washington DC

[MagicalFaith]

no wonder they say david cook is legendary when watching him play live... Love his songs!

[safroniamay]

Loved this song that night. Love it even more today.

[pjdvqq5]

He is simply fabulous!

[Sl1f3rDrag0n]

when is this coming out

[siveeert]

I fell in love with the new album right away, so heavy yet so beautiful. Can anyone figure out som easy acoustic chords for this song please?

[TonEd622]

Take Me as I Am is a really awesome song!! I'm a guy and I think that 2008's winner and runner-up are in the verge of change and that is exactly the kind of path that I wanna go through as a singer-songwriter!! I feel the need to write and keep on writing until I can stop!! I've already got 14 songs to record and they are just the basics: Pop, Rock, R&B, and Soul ballads, like this song!!! I promise you when this album comes out you will DEFINITELY be surprised!!!

[silterama]

Love this song. Love his voice, and he is soooo handsome. Movie star handsome.

[orchid0704]

GOOSE BUMPS!!! I think a got a tear running down my cheek. What an amazing performer and singer! :)

[GREEKCOOKIE2]

[pweller5]

I absolutely love this song. Saw it performed that night and I was crying like a baby in my seat. Love it so much.

[MizDove]

I love this song already! I can't wait for the album to come out. I preordered it!

[ealo11]

Can't wait to hear this song acoustic.  Love it.

[mirast86cro]

He is absolutely brilliant... I love him more and more each day.

[LMM2856]

Absolutely gorgeous. This man keeps evolving as an artist. He really is brilliant. I feels as though I am listening to greatness. So glad I found this here! I have never heard it before. Thanks for sharing it.

[pweller5]

I love this song! This should could be used for a movie!

[thoughtssad]

This song is already stucked in my head!! This is my favorite David song as of now AMAZING DAVID!! LOVE YOU!!

[rrprieto04]

Beautiful new song David Cook. New album can not come soon enough. At least we have this. Thanks for capturing the video.

[lvmyhbyanddc]

.30 to .38 I would like on repeat please - over and over and over <3 <3

[piperzila]

the passion, the pain, the despair with which he sings this song... specially these verses....as if he is really singing for someone in particular...begging for a second chance...???

Give me a second chance

We can take tomorrow

Make it better, you and me ?

Give me one more try before we say goodbye

Right here in this moment

[venusgirl926]

Vulnerability in a man is one of the sexiest things on earth...as you told Kyle "Good Job! Good Job!!" :)

[hindas]

I was there, feeling exceptionally fortunate. Breathless and spellbound by the songs and the performance and the voice. Can't wait for June 28th

[36frannie214]

I love this song along with "The Last Goodbye and Time Marches On" I know David has another platinum album after hearing these 3 songs. No one can show true vulnerability and honesty as David Cook.

[tjhazukiv1]

IMHO, much much better than The Last Goodbye, this one is great. Maybe even single worthy. I haveto hear the studio version though.

[vaneteacher]

absolutely a great song and Tme mar ches on is great too, these r way much better than "the last good bye" i was kind of dissapointed when i listened to The last good bye it wasn`t what i expected for 3 years but now listenig to this song I can say GREAT JOB COOK! lOVE U

[asmahmazlan]

luv this n TMO...y he kept looking at peeps at the balcony?

[DWill8SNash13]

@asmahmazlan I think this song has a lot to do with Adam, as does Time Marches On. Maybe not looking towards the balcony but towards the sky? Pleading to see Adam again? I don't know, just a thought.

[lvmyhbyanddc]

the music Gods have shined on us - this is amazing - I was there, It brought tears to my eyes, my friend told him so after the show and he apologized??? I told him this was a good thing, to hear a song for the first time and be that affected !

[highbrowvintage]

Absolutely amazing. Proud to be a David Cook fan. Nobody gives as much as he does.

[highbrowvintage]

Absolutely amazing. 

[need4dc]

Love this! Thanks for sharing this very clear video. I am really impressed with what I've heard so far from the new album.

[lvmyhbyanddc]

amazing song, amazing singer - thanks for sharing - do you have mp3 of this?

[Piehehe319]

As only a select few gifted masters of music can accomplish, he managed to poignantly plead with us to take him as he is whilst also defiantly demanding we do so...brilliant 

[dcrossicarpe]

English is not my second languae and I would really really love to know lyrics to that song!

[dcrossicarpe]

Oops.. i mean English is my second language :)

[bejayful]

I will be on tears every time I hear this track on his album.

[Tlatz]

Great sound! Thank you for sharing this. :)

[CookieLove1983]

I love this song! Really wish I could make out all the lyrics but oh well will when the album comes out!

[lunarski]

The longing in both the lyrics and the delivery are so poignant. It's gorgeous.

[ilovealexo]

OMG I love David Cook he is next to Chris Daughtry the best thing that has happened to music in a very long time - Amazing vid thanks for sharing :-)

[xuberalles]

Wow...that's all I can say. How can a song simultaneously be so elegant, gritty, heart wrenching and beautiful? Just bursting at the seams with passion and pain. Love the arrangement and power behind this track.

[marypala]

I think I will love this song :-)))

[KM042]

That glory note at 2:40 - WOW!!! Awesome video! Thanks. =)

[26ladylike]

David always delivers! This is beautiful. Goose bumps again. I don't know how I'm going to wait 2 more months for This Loud Morning.

[MsCoolBeck]

This song is on replay now.. Should be called. Blow Me Away!

[jaygeecee13]

The sweep and the beauty of this song is astounding. David gives us a whole world within it, sung with such passion and intensity. I am expecting that This Loud Morning will be the emotional journey for the listener that he has been saying its writing was for him. Thank-you for this vid. (aka jayelgee1)

[sharapova4eva]

OK I was dying to hear his album before today but now I think I am actually going to die if I don't hear it right this instant! I would do anything to hear it right now! I can't wait!!!!

[Trident097]

I was absolutely mesmerized by this song last night.

[NyCArole426]

AMAZING!!! Thanks you Rita!!!

[ing2506]

Thank you for posting this. CAN NOT wait for This Loud Morning! These two new songs are just wonderful, perfect, beautiful. I ran out of adjectives! I'm so proud to be his fan and I'm glad all this time we've been waiting will bring such epicness.

[Suzannadana73]

Wow! This Loud Morning is going to be epic...David outdid himself I think...I am going to have to buy more cds to spread the greatness of this incredible artist!

[rapriverlady]

I know I grumbled about waiting so long for this album but every painful moment was worth it! He said it right, he sang his face off! I am sure he was feeling our love for him last night.

[1967Cindy]

I heard that the second album is the make it or break it album. If the rest of the album is as great as Time Marches On, and Take Me As I Am, he is definitely making it. Beautiful

[ladynsearch]

I absolutely love this song. David baring his soul! Beautiful.

[jstincase1]

Just gorgeous vocals and lyrics. Well worth the wait.

[lapislazuli6]

Absolutely beautiful.

[librawm5]

[7skittlesful]

OMFG, his voice, his lyrics. Oh David this record is goinng to kill me.

[mainedcfan1]

This is fabulous! Reminds me of U & I only better...more of a ballad. Can't wait to hear ALL the songs on This Loud Morning!

[brooks6348]
