David Archuleta on ‘The Other Side of Down’ and Friday’s show in York
MARK FRANKLIN
“The Other Side of Down,” David Archuleta’s new album, is out in just two weeks.
And local fans will get a chance to hear some of that album Friday night, when David headlines that FM 97 (WLAN) Birthday Barn Dance at the Pullo Center at Penn State York.
Meanwhile, David, still just 19, took time out of his busy schedule Tuesday to talk to Idol Chatter about his new album.
Idol Chatter: I interviewed you last December and, at that time, you said you wanted to put more of yourself in the second album. Do you feel like you accomplished that, and why?
David: I do, actually. I am actually really happy about that. The lyrics are just a lot more in tune with who I am as a person. I think (they will allow) a lot of people to connect with the more thoughtful and the lighter, goofier side of me.
Chatter: Judging from the updates you’ve been providing on your website, you did quite a bit of traveling to Nashville and back to collaborate with others on the songwriting for the album. Did that help?
David: It was really great. The people in Nashville, the thing that they’re focused on and what they try to bring out in an artist is a lot more heart-driven I think, than just looking for the hookiest, catchiest radio song. I think that was really great they were able to do that.
Chatter: Why’d you decide to make The Other Side of Down the title track of the album and what’s the message you’re trying to relate through that song?
David: I chose that one because I felt like that song, the words, shows perfectly what I’m trying to do right now in my life. It just represented the stage and the way I’m looking at my life and the way I’m looking at the future. You may not always know what life is going to give to you. Sometimes it’s like, wow, life can be confusing. But there’s always something that you can take to help you be hopeful and look at things optimistically. And be able to reach out and help other people look at it in a positive way too. Because I know a lot of people can get stuck in looking at life and thinking how difficult it can be and how frustrating it can be….
