[MrCooksNumber1Fan]

@arandommess228 but...I am gonna marry him.....soooo....LOL XD <3

[fuzzr14]

Oh and K, thanks for having one of the few videos without distorted sound. Oh that's right, this was the show where we were kept at bay by the cops.

[fuzzr14]

Awww memories of my first DC&TA show followed by the 4+ hour ride home in a freaking blizzard. Forgot how hot this particular performance was. And David, PLEASE give us back this hat-less hair and less of the Jimmy Neutron mega-forehead style of late. Thank you.

[scdc7377]

My God, just wow! Love the emotion he puts behind it!

[franciscochron]

This is bueatiful. so good i cant spell.

[dcrocksmyworld1]

hes too perfect. im crying

[GabiGalaxy]

even though he did mess up one verse , the whole thing was so powerful . seriously breathtaking .

[0orset]

Oh MY god, the way he moves around on this song.. moving back and forth like that?! stopit cook, killing me

[Girl2Interrupt3]

hey nice song, but I'm lost as to the meaning behind it. What is the song about or who?

[mermcc]

only the guys could say what the meaning is, but to me the words reflects the death of a relationship.

Anodyne means "healing" or something that relieves pain.

[barbdwyre]

Word is is that it's about the suicide of a friend. (The song "Vera" is also about the same thing.)

[snidgetsaywhee]

1:03 - 1:07 and 1:21 God damn!

actually... the entire song GOD DAMN

[beedoggie]

Can Some please remind the names of the band members? I know that there is David (OF COURSE) Kyle, Neil, Joey.

[justicelvr]

Kyle (drums) Joey (bass) Neal (lead guitar) and Andy (rhythm guitar, keyboard)

[beedoggie]

Thats right! I keep on thinking that andy's name was actually kyle. LOL! Thanks for reminding me.

[dcrocksmyworld1]

@justicelvr i thought bass was Monty. It was at the concert i went to

[justicelvr]

Monty joined the band on tour in July. This show was in March.

[67ChevyImpalaLover]

Is there anyone who has a album version with David singing this song that they could upload on Youtube? Or just the Midwest Kings version on their album.

[justicelvr]

There isn't an album version with David on vocals. It was recorded by MWK with Andy on vocals. You can download it on iTunes

[purplesolleile]

He was...dancing with the...mic stand...OH GOD *faint*

[DWill8SNash13]

Wowzers, Best live performance I've seen. He is so amazing! I love him!

[poppydreaming]

EEB = Easy On The Eyes Band

The song, I think, is about the suicide of a lover. HTH

[Shellbell1313]

2 questions one who or what is eeb? and two; does anyone know what this song is about?

[hadas512]

He is so good!

He would win this season too.totaly.

[Blacklightdragon17]

Wow, someone needs to tell the women at the end of it screaming while hes still singing to STFU.

Good singing anyway.

[sanjayalover26]

This has got to be the BEST live performance i have ever seen from him! and the song.... *dies* Amazing.

[suzieforsure]

Wow! Very touching. Brilliant. He is brilliant! Where I can find this song?

[MandaOnFire89]

It's a song by Midwest Kings on their Luna Despierta EP. He says it was one of the first songs he wrote with them.

[suzieforsure]

Thanks. I am quite addicted to this. And the whole guy as well. But only in a good way:)

[ShelbyLynnSchleuning]

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HIM LIVE! August 29!

[Shereeda2202]

brilliant lyrics and performance...

wonder who he has in mind when he sings? sounds personal eh?

[ladynsearch]

This the most beautiful song by David and

Neal. I am in love with it and David. lol

Wow. Just touches my heart.

[Anodnnyl]

Gahhh! I lurve this song. Thanks, boyz.

((justicelvr))

[makingwoodchips]

Appreciate the words. The face, the voice, the raw emotion....thud

[sANDmDC]

OMG! That look at the end just about killed me, couldnt see that from row W lol!! gahhh! Such a great song, thanks!

[fullyCOOKed]

The facial expression at 4:29? Best poutiest lips ever on any man. Yummy!

[Shereeda2202]

total flashback to the ending of his "hello" performance on idol....

my word he's sooo hot what feelings he emit when he performs

..if only he knew what emotions he evokes...

[sdzn22]

I just love this song!!!! I too would like to see more of his adorable face but I LIKE the hair, very casual-hot!!!!

[ari369]

dave dear.... please don't bloke our view of your face...........love this song....

[CooKie251975]

TQ for the vid and lyrics.WOW!From the lovely,much missed hair to the whole performance.Outstanding combo of talents from 5 incredible musicians.If only David can be less intimate with the mike (and it's not even good-looking!) and shows us more of his pretty (and "vulnerable") face..that wld've been perfect.Totally blown away

[star0778]

This song is my new addiction! I love the MWK version (yay Andy!) but DC's cover is wonderful too. It is just such a beautiful song! I hope I can hear it live sometime...

[BigTimeRockFan]

Amazing song and performance...this belongs on a David Cook album...I hope he plays it when in AC on 3/20 ;).......btw, there must be someone that hurt him very deeply to put such words together in a beautifully emotional song. Very Nice!

[sdzn22]

I love David sing this song OMG, I'm hooked!!!

[snl891]

You know, it's funny, I kind of overlooked this song a little bit for a while (I was immediately more drawn to "A Scarlett Letters" and "Stuck Under Wheels"), but the more listen to it, the more I absolutely fall in love with it. It's just... brilliant. Poignant, flawlessly and emotionally written, and Dave sounds soooo amazing singing it <3 Andy will forever be the voice of MWK I think, but this song really lends itself to Dave's voice, and his emotional connection to it is just ridiculous!

[safroniamay]

Omigosh! I can't stop listening to this one. It's got major hit written all over it. It's mesmerizing. Oh David, what is it all about?

[MrCooksNumber1Fan]

anyone know the lyrics for this song? he did an amazing job on this!!

[justicelvr]

Lyrics are now in the description...just hit "more"

[MrCooksNumber1Fan]

oh! thanks. i thought i already checked that. thanks. :)

[bowlinbabe]

I love this song, the more I hear it the more addicted I get to it. It's such a work of art and David and Kyle's voices sound great together. Hopefully David will record this for his next album :-)

Anyways, thanks for posting this video.

[divanahi]

kudos to dave & andy. love both versions equally.

the song's a Piece of Art. i want much more of this in future DC records.

thanks for posting justicelvr.

[lizkdc]

The sing should be MASSIVE. Hope it makes it to some future recording. Loved the MWK version, but it just gets better and better with each new take.

[melanthe]

Ho-leee....this version makes me cry. Perfect vocals, beautifully performed, kudos to Andy's soaring backup, and Kyle "the Animal's" driving beat. It's The Perfect Ghost Song (it'll haunt you forever).

[tierbee]

Oh I *love* Anodyne! I love the MWK version, and I love David's... it's haunting. And he's looking very cute ;)

[OCgirliechick]

David sings this SO good! Andy's back up singing for this song REALLY compliments it.

[klmcarl]

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!  David is just amazing and I love this song. Please record it David Cook.

[fullyCOOKed]

Perfect face which even the silliest hat cant spoil, but I still love seeing the hair, which lately has become a rare treat.

Wonderful performace, thanks for posting..

[bear22898]

My absolute favorite song right now. Thanks so much for catching this beautiful performance!

[wehoscott]

Finally, a sing along! This most certainly has become a crowd favorite... and the most hotly discusses song re MWK. It's amazing. Thanks for the video!!

[freshcong]

What more i can say..

just perfectly Amazing!

[1texasfanhere]

I love this song! David and the EEB do such a great job. Thanks for posting. The video and sound quality are amazing.

[Smileon]

I love this a lot!! I would love if he recorded it.

[debrakay23]

This is such an amazing song, blows me away every time I hear him sing it. Thank you!

[36frannie214]

I can't believe how he puts all of his emotions and feelings on the stage when he performs. He just has the sensitivity to do the extraordinary that most singer don't.

[pweller5]

OMG I love this!!!

[reinharv]

I wish he would record this and release it. It would be a sure-fire hit!!! I love it!!! Well, let's face it--anything he does is fantastic. So much emotion in every song. He feels his songs & lyrics and puts so much passion in it every time.

[jtodvm]

Great video and audio quality. I adore this song! Thanks for getting this one.

[Kendra86]

holy shit. that was amazing. thanks for posting
