This is probably a old question but I haven't read the answer. Anyone know the significance of the 10 min. stall during "A Daily Anthem"?"

Yes, David added some secret songs so if you let it play, you may get a surprise. But you have to leave it alone. Depending where you purchased your album, depends upon which secret songs are included. Right now I can't remember which places (for example, you get a free extra song if you purchase at Walmart) had which tracks. Breathe Tonight, Kiss on the Neck (and there's another one I don't have that you only got if you downloaded from I-tunes) were the secret tunes. I actually purchased extra cd's and gave them away so I could get the extra songs. They were worth it, too. Kiss on the Neck and Breathe Tonight are two of his finest songs. Wonder when/if he'll release them as singles. We tend to forget about them because they are a little harder to get to. Too bad. Another gimmick. Anyway, love all of David's music.

You might want to let your cd play out even if it is dead silence to see if any of these hidden tracks play. If not, go out and try to purchase a cd a Walmart or one of the other places that was selling his cd including his bonus tracks.

Here's excerpt from St. Louis Post Dispatch, July 15, 2009:

"David Cook is a class act at All-Star game
By Charles Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The media circus was in full swing yesterday, and your ringmaster was lucky enough to snag a press pass to the All-Star bash. While most of the reporters were ga ga over the players, I was more interested in the celebs.

David Cook strolled around during batting practice, so I followed him as he chatted up the players and Sheryl Crow. He appeared to be doing what any true baseball fan would do — collecting autographs on a ball.

In addition to being a good singer, he’s a great guy. He was very generous with his time, chatting with anyone who approached and spending an eternity posing for pictures, always with the same enthusiastic smile. His face muscles must have been tired after a couple of hours but you couldn’t tell.

I watched fans toss him balls to sign, and he’d pitch them back, with a little banter thrown in. This went on for about 10 minutes.
It’s great to see a Missouri guy so genuine in his fondness for his fans."

Okay, LOVED IT! David can hit those high notes like nobody else! I love the tone of his voice, and he has so much power in his voice. CHILLS!

I know they can really pressure people into using a pre-taped version; I'm so happy your performance of Declaration was live (as was evident by the slight lyric slip in the first verse). I've never understood having artists show up to "perform" and then using a pre-recorded track.

I'm so happy to know that when we go to hear you - we really hear YOU!

Looking forward to my 8th and 9th shows Sunday and Monday - you make them all memorable and special.

Thank you!

I didn't know about this until it was too late. Sad I will find it on website mentioned though.

David and the EEBs,

Tremendous performance on national TV and in front of a huge number of people. Always great to know your music is being heard by new people. You and MLB were made for each other.
I'm proud to be your fan!!! Smiling

I am so mad at myself! I missed it! I was thinking today was the 13th! No matter though I imagine he did an awesome job like he always does. Can't wait til August and September when I get to see him. I'm sure he'll rock it!

As always, great performance at the derby. You should have been pitching- you have a great arm. (saw you throwing some heat before the Chesaning Concert) Smiling
Also saw that you were wearing the ribbon on your wrist. Thanks- that was cool to see.
C U in September at Allegan County.

It was sooooo good to see you guys on "the big screen". You rocked the house and looked marvelous.
You could sell out every stadium in the country - forget the small venues!!

and David, you should have played in the celebrity softball game. You would have upstaged Nelly!!

Keep Rockin'

I saw you live last night in my big TV screen.......and you were terrific David!
And big stadiums are....just Wow!! This was surely so exciting for you.
We're so proud of you here.
Thank you for this moment.....Thank you for everything!
For always....
Julia from Canada

Great job, guys! David, I prayed for you several times while I was watching you perform Declaration (even though it might have been prerecorded, I'm sure that prayer worked). You guys rocked it out of the stadium! David, thank you for the Declaration video. It is the first time I was able to get you performing that song on tape, and you did it so well. Your band really got into the song, too. It was enjoyable to watch your band members, and they really did their jobs well. I liked it that you played a little extra music in between to give yourself a chance to take a quick breath, and it helped a bunch since I just KNOW you had to be a bit nervous singing to that huge crowd and all the people watching on tv/computer -- best performance yet! Yay! Home Run--David!

Was Heroes ever televised? "cause I didn't get to see it, and I watched the shows before and after...

Great game, too. Enjoyed Fielder's 503 foot home run, but I was routing for Cruz after his fantastic opening. Fielder was the best, though. Can't argue with that. But look out for Cruz in the future!

Fun All-Star game, too. Didn't know Nelly could play like that. He looked like one of the professionals out there. Loved Shawn's flips, too! How cute!

Thankfully my husband was watching the Home run derby and he yelled to me that David was on, because he knows how much I love to hear him sing. Smiling (not bad on the eyes either, LOL)

Declaration was AWESOME

You guys Rock!!
You guys totally looked and sounded great, just like the rockstars that you are!!

David, being the baseball player, should have been on the AL celebrity team. That would have been icing on the MLB cake!
