Wow. I've been a big fan for a long time, didn't think I could adore him any more... but I was wrong. What a great, great version of the song. And crazy sexy performance. Wow.
he should do a song or two just like this for his new album. he said in interviews that he's thinking about doing a song acapella, which would be pretty cool. his voice goes great with acoustic stuff.
@AngelCandy805 thats a good point. about relationships that are ending. one wants to try and keep it going cause it's not worth ruining it yet (The Truth-Kris Allen). And Cook is being sarcastic about keeping it going by saying he wants to be lied to, and it's as if he just wants to end it and get it over with.
@cletiger10 This song is about his brother dying, not a failed relationship that he doesnt want to end. This is blondebarbie's boyfriend, I didnt feel like signing into my name. If you have a response to this comment send it to my name - SMK715 (his brother Adam died of a brain tumor in may 2009)
@SMK715 This is definitely not about his brother dying. "Permanent" is about his brother dying. Listen to these lyrics, they have nothing to do with death and his brother. Now, listen to "Permanent". He sang it on American Idol finale in '09 and all proceeds went to charity in honor of his brother and cancer research.
@cletiger10 im aware of what permanent is about.. listen to AC from when he was in axium, thats about adam too. just because one song on the album to dedicated to his brother doesnt mean another cant be.
@cletiger10 hey i re-googled and found another forum about lie. the person had a really good bit of information, it was a compilation of quotes he/she had heard in which david explained the songs. he said lie is about a "dysfunctional relationship that you dont want to end because you still see the good in it".. the forum i originally read was persuasive. the person related all the lines to make it seem like it was, or could be, about adam. if you think about it enough it makes great sense..
He puts his heart and soul into this song. Dave is so vunerable when he sings this song. That kind of passion comes across so rarely. I am a forever fan.
this so is so amazing!!! i love it! there is so much empotion......durring this song i felt like crying but i also wanted 2 laugh ......the things he makes me wanna do... : )
this is frikin amazing! beautiful video and quality. pretty much any song on his post-idol album is better when performed acoustically, mostly because his gorgeous voice stands out so much.
david is so amazing. he is one of the most talented, adorable, most attractive [dare i say hot?] guys i have ever seen. and the most amazing guy to have come off american idol. but that's just me.
Have not been around this version for a while - it is still soooo awesome. Of course it is David Cook - the VOICE!

I can't decide whether the sound quality is really good or David just makes it sound that way :)
He's the sweetest, most talented and most attractive guy ever to walk the Idol stage. But that's just my opinion.
