Analog Heart Appreciation #2: You made me fall forever with no end in sight



Analog Heart is the debut solo album by David Cook originally released as an independent record on May 6, 2006.




Analog Heart won the Urban Tulsa Weekly's "Absolute Best of Tulsa" award for "Best Locally Produced, Independent Album" in 2007. The album was chosen as the fourth-best CD released in 2006 by website Music Equals Life.
On April 18th, 2008, Analog Heart was listed as the number one album for "Today's Top MP3 Albums" on Amazon.com, and David Cook was listed as number one for "Today's Top MP3 Artists".
After enjoying the top-selling album at the Amazon MP3 store, American Idol contestant David Cook’s 2006 album Analog Heart was pulled from the digital music service. No reason was provided by AI producers or Amazon as to why the album was made unavailable, but web-based rumors that Cook was actually an AI-installed “ringer” in the competition began to swell following Cook’s top-selling week (he even edged the debut of Mariah Carey’s E=MC2).


The Songs

1. Straight Ahead
2. Don't Say a Word
3. Fall Back Into Me
4. The Truth
5. Searchlights
6. Porcelain
7. Stitches
8. Let Go
9. Makeover
10. Silver

1. Straight Ahead (4:14)


So take a minute just to breathe
And think of everything you wanted
And what you got instead
Is it a labor just to see
Around the left or right over my head
To straight ahead

2. "Don't Say a Word" - 4:37


So step down, look around
You could leave it all behind
And never hear another sound
Still you’re holding onto someone
That will never show you the same



3. "Fall Back Into Me" - 3:35

i was a name across your lips
it's time to spit me out
I played the game when my heart rips
it's time to hear me out (what I do without)
when everything's the same and nothing ever changes
will you fall back into me?


4. "The Truth" - 4:48


Your laugh, intoxicating
One touch and im negating everything around.[...]
I rest my head from running circles round my mind
On why you let go, no answer to be found
Romances don't rewind
I guess I'll never know,
why your absence is devastating
no touch to calm my hating
everyone around



5. "Searchlights" - 4:29

You are for contradiction's sake,
Everything I remember that I swore I'd forget.
Your life has served you well.
But everyone around has perished from this fire that you've lit.
Under Me.
You make me fall forever.
With no end in sight.
When everything around is broken,
could you say that this felt right?



6. "Porcelain" - 3:53

The paint is worn bare
Your eyes have starting fading
Were they ever even really there
Nothing to give with everything you take
The cracks in your smile
make it impossible to decipher something legible
Your porcelain face and a heart of glass


7. "Stitches" - 4:04

And I found what I always wanted
As she walked away
And I ran aground with this wound untreated
Let it wash away
Stitch me up
And bleed me out
Stitch me up
And bleed me out (it's over)



8. "Let Go" - 3:20

Has it been that long since you opened up your eyes
To look out below
Cause it will hit you when you're not watching
I don't know
Why you won't let go
So let go




9. "Makeover" - 3:37

She fell out; her broken legs won’t let her walk away
From this town that couldn’t give a single **** either way
And her fears they bled before she’s convinced that they’re real
What are you looking for?
Are you looking for something more?
It’s not me, it’s not me
When did it all unwind?
Are you prepared for what you’ll find?
It’s not me, it’s not me


10. "Silver" - 4:22

This song is a melody
Meant to show you little more than a better history
An open sky of redemption
The kind you always burn from

So take this small confession as my price to pay
I’ve never been the kind to let go
But before you up and walk away
I’m miserable without you, you know
This silver leaves me burning for gold
Second place has never carried me home

Aww, where's the love for AH? Doesn't anyone listen to it anymore?

Anyway, now we know the total number of AH copies sold:

Quote:
This tally also includes Cook’s pre-Idol debut album, Analog Heart, which has sold 2,000 copies.

I'm sure it would be higher if the album was legally available.

Steph and I listened to it on the to WV Along with everything else the man's ever done.

Yeah if they counted pirated DLs it'd be a big ass number. But Dave says he's just happy we wanna listen to it.

Well, that's good. Yesterday when I was driving around, I listened to AH among the other DC stuff and belted out to Searchlights on more than one occasion.

Yep, he's given his permission to download it for free so now I don't have to feel bad. But anyway, if it was available to purchase legally, especially as a physical CD, I would get it.

Yeah, the rare copies are crazy expensive on eBay. They should make more, re-release it.

Listening to AH now.
