On first listening to the first-ever preview of Declaration during SNL, I immediately thought of Analog Heart's Searchlights. Being the music geek that I am, I thought that both songs resemble one another in many ways:

The key signature that was used in these two songs are the same.

The glory/high notes in the songs' choruses are almost the same.

The melody of Declaration's chorus' first line, "It's my declaration" is strikingly similar to the first line of Searchlight's chorus, "You make me fall forever"

It seems that David has not let go of his roots just yet, though I'm not implying that it's bad. I think Declaration is more melodic than Searchlights. I LOVE IT ACTUALLY!!!!!

Can't wait until his album drops here in the Philippines!!
