Dream Big.

May 21, 2008

I love, love the 2nd song that David Cook did in tonight’s American Idol - Dream Big by Emily Shackelton. If I got it right (since I’m too lazy to read previous articles), she was one of the songwriters that won in the AI7 Songwriting Competition. Very nice lyrics, and the way David Cook sang it tonight, a highly anticipated successful single from this season indeed!

Oh and about tonight’s performances, I don’t really understand why the fuzz over David Archuleta’s performances. I mean, what’s new? He was just the way he usually is, and he sounded just the same with a bit shakier voice. But a lot are saying he’s gonna win the title, although Dial Idol’s predictions as of this moment is it’s still David Cook. So whatever! Come to think of it, it would be kinda better for Cook to lose right? So he can get an even bigger record deal that will make him a bigger star in the end. Admit it, Cook is the artist and Archuleta is just the singer ‘coz he can only sing one type of song and it’s getting really boring and forgettable. Don’t kill me Archie’s Angels, I’m just saying what I think, based on what I prefer.

I’m gonna wait for you CD, Cookie. Bwahahaha!

David Cook : I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For

David Cook : Dream Big

David Cook : The World I Know

Dream Big [Original Version]

When I was a little girl
I swore that I would change the world
When I grew up
Nothing else would be enough

Back then it all seemed black and white
But these days I just can’t seem to find
The child in me
Who always believed

I see it every day - we settle for safe
And lose ourselves along the way

But if you don’t dream big - what’s the use of dreaming
If you don’t have faith there’s nothing worth believing
It takes wild hope to make the stars worth reaching for
So reach out - for something more

It took a well-perfected plan
For me to finally understand
That it’s not me
Faith is something I can’t see

I lose the reigns then let ‘em go
I broke the chains of fear that had their
Hold on me too long
When all I felt was wrong

I’ve wiped my tears away - now it’s time for a change
No I can’t wait another day

‘coz if you don’t dream big - what’s the use of dreaming
If you don’t have faith there’s nothing worth believing
It takes wild hope to make the stars worth reaching for

So close your eyes and tell me what you see
Between what’s real and make-believe
Here’s the path we’ve all been searching for
So reach out - for something more
Than you ever could imagine
Then move - don’t wait for it to happen
Life’s too short for not taking chances
The stars aren’t as far as they seem

If you don’t dream big - what’s the use in dreaming
If you don’t have faith there’s nothing worth believing
It takes wild hope to make the stars worth reaching for

So close your eyes and tell me what you see
Between what’s real and make-believe
Here’s the path we’ve all been searching for
So reach out - for something more
