David Cook - “Light On” Lyrics

American Idol champ David Cook has released his first official single “Light On” on Popeater. Check out the lyrics below and leave your thoughts in the comments!

David Cook - “Light On” Lyrics

Never really said too much
Afraid it wouldn’t be enough
Just try to keep my spirits up
When there’s no point in grieving
Doesn’t matter anyway
Words could never make me stay
Words will never take my place
When you know I’m leaving

(Chorus)
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone

You know we’ve been down that road
What seems a thousand times before
My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons
That roll out underneath my heels
And you don’t know how bad it feels
To leave the only one that I have ever believed in

[Chorus]

Sometimes it feels like we’ve run out of luck
When the signal keeps on breaking up
When the wires cross in my brain
You’ll start my heart again
When I come along

[Chorus]

okay i liked him on idol (even though i wanted david archuleta to win) but he looks scary in this picture!

# 5

he looks weird in that picture

# 6

the song is ok

# 7

WHO IS THIS FOOL??

# 8

Fantastic song, it’s already stuck in my head.

# 9

This guy is obviously gay, right?

I LOVE him, and I love this song…anxious for his album to be released. The Idols always change thier look, it pissed me off. He needs to get rid of that eye liner, and get more the rocker look going. He looks silly here.

I really like this song!

i love the song, it’s a good first single and the haters can step off. if you don’t like it, that’s fine but don’t rain on our parade!!! we’re stoked for new DC music - it’s awesome =)

Doesn’t look like him. We will see if the public makes him the next big thing.

I thought the song was not good. He looks foolish with that eyeliner also.

Miz Booshay @ 09/23/2008 at 5:28 pm

I like his new song…but ugh.,…what a horrid picture.

Who thought that was a good idea.

ish.

not digging the picture…which is shocking because I usually love every picture captured of mr. cook here.

as for the song- not gonna lie, i didn’t love it on first listen. its taken me a few go-throughs to warm up to it. someone else mentioned that they don’t really hear David in it… it’s him singing obviously, but there’s that special quality about some of his pre-Idol songs that really helped listeners connect with him. despite that little hiccup, i think the song has immense selling power and should be pretty popular on the radio circuit.

the bridge is gorgeous, as well as that little acoustic bit he gets to do as well. that took me by happy surprise.

so good job david. if your album is anywhere near as good as this first song, you’re gonna have a ton of happy fans.

He looks like a Drag King in that picture…

Is he still dating Kim Caldwell?

YAY i’m so glad he won! I love him…but not THAT picture haha
totally representing KC!….love it :D

Rattlesnake @ 09/23/2008 at 6:26 pm

sounds very boring to me, same old same old rehashed words

I LOVED IT!!!!! I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS SONG SINCE HE ANNOUNCED THE NAME OF HIS SINGLE!! AND OMG THIS IS JUST AMAZING!!

the song has ‘i’m david cook’ written all over it SERIOUSLY!

melliesmom @ 09/23/2008 at 6:44 pm

Loved it!! I’ve listened 10 times already!!

I preeefer crush, daviiid archluleeeta!

anonymous @ 09/23/2008 at 6:50 pm

I love the song!! The picture is a little weird but I could care less. I thought the song was really good

love the song - love david

this song reminds me exactly of THE CLICK FIVE- WHEN I’M GONE

Wow! Killer Vocal. And he ain’t bad to look at either. That is all.

oh I love this song!

COOKSBIGGESTFAN @ 09/23/2008 at 8:04 pm

This song is so beautiful.
David never fails to amaze me, and this song leaves me breathless.
That man is stunning, and I can’t wait ’till November 18th!!
<3

ur ass bitch @ 09/23/2008 at 8:11 pm

HE’S WEARING MAKEUP

omg !
what a great song *-* I’m so excited for him, this is definitely goint to be a hit !
GO COOK !

Daughtry did it first and did it better. Sorry!

That picture is fug, he wears too much make-up.

littlechickadee1127 @ 09/23/2008 at 9:11 pm

Sexy..love the lyrics…it has the sound of Creed…I hope he does well because he has amazing talent

i love it!!!!!

Well David Cook…you’re gonna be a big star! You have the looks, the talent and now what I am sure will be a big hit!

Congrats!

I love David!! and I love the song!! I’ve cried the first time I listened it…
I can´t wait for the album and be part of his success…

lol my god
hes hideous

he look weird, why does his beard look like that so light

No offense to him and his fans..but he sucks. He’s basically screaming with his raspy voice. Some people can pull off the raspiness but he can’t. He has amazing vocals?? no way!

David Archuleta’s new single is ways better than Cooks’.

Chris Daughtry is a way better rocker than this man. Daughtry actually has the vocals, David Cook on the other hand definitely does not.

Poor David Archuleta, he should have won American Idol since it was a “singing” competition.

It is sooooooo bland, generic and boring, very disappointing!!!!

I love this song. it’s amazing and his voice is just perfect.

He never fails to amaze me. <3

i’ve been listening to this song nonstop all day. it’s already up on the top 25 played on my iTunes. it’s so great to see him doing his own thing, not the usual cookie-cutter, pop tracks american idol usually pressure their winners to put out.

it his album is as good as this single, and even a TENTH as good as analog heart, i’d be a happy, happy girl.

he looks kinda creepy. like, it looks like he has on eyeliner…

OMG!!!!! LISTENING TO IT RIGHT NOW!

I LOVE DAVID COOK!

Love his voice. This is a great first song. Looking forward to the CD. Don’t like the picture though. He is soooooooo much better looking than that picture. Looks nothing like him. It is to polished and unnatural looking. Great vocal Cookie.

Already addicted to the song! I want the cd NOW! *cries*

Listening it over and over again…luv it..!! I think the lyric is so intense while Archie’s song is more easy listening type. Can’t wait for the album..luv Cook always..!!

he looks like david bowie in the labyrinth.

minchie tater @ 09/24/2008 at 4:18 am

i dont like thee pic. david looks awful everytime he applies eyeliner to his eyes. Why does he do that?!
as for the song, its lright. i was expecting it to be better. David’s voice was not very tuned nd it sounded rough and harsh. The studio versions of his performances on idol were a lot better. I really hope the other songs in his album are better than this. ‘light on’ diddnt sound like it was coming from the david cook i have come to like so much. chris cornell isnt a lyric genius, david shouldnt have teamed up with him. the lyrics of the songs featured in analog heart were better.

LoveLee.r @ 09/24/2008 at 6:43 am

boooring!

Probably gonna need a few more plays to looove it.
First play sounds good, second half of the song sounds better than the first half. But heck yeah, looking forward to more DC music..

sounds corny…and im not digging the makeup he has been wearing lately..or the tats..but that’s me. He seems a nice guy but..I love Archie!

Its Amazing! I really love the song. I think it is going to be a big hit.

fandedavidcook @ 09/24/2008 at 1:15 pm

I love him more for his talent than his looks, but, yeah! he looks gorgeous.
He is very versatile vocally, this new song proves what we already knew. This song is a good transition from a year of covers in AI7 and his indie project Analog Heart (favorite CD of mine).

OMG, THOSE EYES ARE KILLING ME! *thud*

I’m glad I helped him win, now I’m going to enjoy the ride.
Right on, LIGHT ON!!!

Poobearxoxo @ 09/24/2008 at 1:24 pm

omg… i loved it. but im hatin that pic. …….he looks kike a chipmunk…lol ily

<3

What did they do to his face in that picture? He looks gross!

Okay, first of all, DAVID! What is up with the picture!?!?
I love you and all, but, come on. No makeup, please!
Love the song, love ALL songs, love you. (:
You’re so amazing.

you think the eyeliner in this picture is bad, you should’ve seen him in concert in St. Louis - he looked like a racoon.

MRS. JOSEPH ADAM JONAS @ 09/24/2008 at 4:39 pm

i thing to say: love him

i think this song is AWESOME!!! && i also think that he is lookin hot

btw most rockers wear eyeliner

GREAT JOB DAVID!!!
love the new song
&& cant wait until CD comes out

this song is profound…it really reflects david’s personality….
it doesnt matter what he looks…so long he keeps on singing and writing what’s in his heart and soul….

David cook is awsome and this new song is great. Can not wait until November 18 for his album to come out

That is the CREEEEEpiest pic of him I have EVER seen. WTH was he thinking ok’in that photo? And the song… don’t get me started. He has lost his mind. seriously.

listen to David’s new song “light on”…as well as more unreleased/on demand music

http://www.iheartmusic.com/cc-common/ondemand/music.html?apid=4827

Oh, man. What happened to David Cook? I thought he was pretty cool on Idol. Great voice, decent person. They really messed with his voice on this song, though. UGH. I guess most of the people who love it are chicks who are still infatuated, but believe me, Cook has sounded light years better on other songs that he put out by himself.

And, yeah. Hate that eyeliner look.

jessica Weed @ 09/25/2008 at 9:38 pm

OMG love the song!!! it’s awesome just like david but i liked the idol david better the one that doesn’t where eye linear. Sorry david but the eye linear looks horrible your a sexy guy but it makes you look horrible…….. but i love you alot!! keep on rockin!\
love you jessica

Love it. love DC

amazing amazing amazing.
that’s all i can say :)
amazing looks, voice and talent.
i cant stop listening to his song!

hotn'wet for cook @ 09/26/2008 at 11:04 pm

I LOVE HIMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

im a huge david fan, and i think if us david fans think about it- this is (or isnt) him. the real david is the one in analog heart, the swearing moody singer we dont know. but i think us david fans want to beleive in our hearts this is the idol david we all know and love- but its not.
the idol-david isnt him- and this isnt him either.
i want the idol-david, but i want him to be himself, but i dont want the analog-heart david- which is the real him…
i think hes too relaxed now, he needs to pick it up before underdog archie picks up the slack, and becomes the next daughtry.
im mixed..

OMG i loveeeee this song soooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!! it is amazzzzzing!!!!! not the greatest picture though, i liked the way he looked on idol better but who cares I STILL LOVE HIM!!!!!!!

Love the song, love the lyrics, love the melody. I can’t wait to buy this on iTunes so I can play it in my car! wow!
OK…the picture? Really not liking it. Very pretty boy-ish. What happened to David Cook from Idol? The only way I really recognize him is because of his lips! But wow…I want the edgy emo David Cook back! This photo is pretty and all, but it’s like what a lot of people are saying…kind of creepy and does not look like the David Cook we all are fans of.

cookielove @ 09/29/2008 at 1:07 am

The song is OK! but my cookie is screaming and I do not feel the emotion, why oH why!! I don’t know if I really like this song, I have a mixed feeling right now….

This picture is smoking hot!!!!!!! Whether he wears eyeliner or absolutely nothing at all, he is hot!!! Why is it that everytime someone has success, he has to be gay? Some of these comments are so juvenile it’s unbelievable.

Personally, I love the new single, his old material, and his voice in general. So to all you haters: sit back and watch the CD sales and you will find that you are of the minority. I guarantee you DC will sell millions and leave you eating crow!!!!!! We used to read this crap about Daughtry, as well. I’m not reading so much of that crap now after Daughtry has sold over 4 million CD’s. Funny how that works!

angie_puertorico @ 09/29/2008 at 12:28 pm

Love it because you can interpret it so many ways!
And now I love it even more because he sings it so well!
Way to go David, the song is stuck in my brain. What will happen when the complete CD comes out in Nov 18th? Pure pleasure, pure rock.

Hits my every expectation! Looks and song! (And I am NOT easy to please!) I’m happy with my idol.

candycoated @ 09/30/2008 at 6:24 pm

Mr. Cook…your song has definitely grown on me, but I still contend that the best part of the whole song is at 2:50 when your voice comes out pure and sure. I’d love to hear more of that in your upcoming records.

And by the way, you are flat-out amazing! So, give it to us straight up!

fashionnrocks @ 10/01/2008 at 11:23 am

he looks soooooo gay

Whats witht he weird 80s rock wannabe rock and the cut off music!!??This song is just weird to me. NOT the DC I love anymore! I sincerely hope the rest of the cd is better :(

David Cook is so amazing!!! He should win a Grammy for this song.

OMG I LOVE DAVID COOK, AND HE IS SOOOOO HOT!!! CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM!!!!!! <333333333333

The song is good. The new look is not. We like the “rocker” david.

David cook lover 93 @ 10/05/2008 at 4:32 pm

AHHH He is amazing I love hime but he lost sooo much weight and he looks kina scary now… I still think hes cute though… I can’t wait until he goes on tour!!! Yayayayy!!! =)<33333

I think the song is pretty good.

Looks like he’s gained a few pounds. Haha

the picture is a bit scary….i want the old david cook back…..love the song though!

Those of you who are being over-critical of the picture need to get a life! Take a look at the start of the majority of celebrities - especially singers - and you’ll find the look changes considerably until they get their signature style down.

The song took me a couple of listens to love it, but I do. It’s classic David Cook… a little bit of an edgy sound to a positive, passionate message. I can’t wait until he has an album out… I think he’ll be a real contributor to the music industry.

I think he is AMAZING… from the very beginning of idol he was on another level than the others… he was born to do what he is doing!!!! I think he looks great… they put make up on everyone for photo shoots… that doesnt change him or his talent!

I liked the Idol David better. He is not cute in this picture.
David Archuleta’s new song is waaaaaaay better :)

It’s sad how cruel people can be just because they don’t care for a picture or prefer another artist. Yes, David Archuletta is good, but why compare these guys over and over again because Cook won? I bet both of them think people are crazy to do so; after all, they get along very well and probably don’t understand these crazy fans who bash one due to liking the other. And, to say Cook’s gay because of a picture that probably wasn’t even his idea, well, that’s pretty sad too. To those of you who have nothing nice to say - are you that insecure or just plain mean? It’s time to grow up and try to be better people.

As for this song…it’s AMAZING. Listen to it a few times (really listen). David’s voice is wonderful (Daughtry is good too, but Cook’s got the better voice - hands down), and the lyrics are great as well.

In my opinion, he’s gorgeous…even in this picture. His eyes and facial features are beautiful. So what if he has some makeup on; find me an album cover or magazine picture of any star (men included) who don’t. Funny how many singers, especially rockers, have worn much more makeup than this yet some of you choose to be so cruel to Cook. Oh, I know…just because a guy is nice or might have some makeup on in a picture means he’s gay, right? Well, NO MATTER WHAT, David Cook is the real deal, and he deserves respect. He’s absolutely amazing…too bad some can’t be decent and respect others vs. bash them to make themselves feel better or “look cool”. To the good people in the world, your cruel comments are just sad, and we feel bad for you.

AWESOME song David…can’t wait to buy your album!!!!!!!

I really like this song. It’s amazing and I seriously can not wait for his album to be out! =]

I really love this song. It’s amazing and i seriously can not wait for his album to be out!! =]

Brittany,

It’s nice to see someone write a nice comment and not mention issues with a little bit of makeup or how someone else has a better song. Isn’t it sad how many of Archuletta’s fans seem so threatened or bothered by Cook…as if they can’t both be good, both do well and both be treated as they deserve. :o) I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album either - if the other songs are half as good as this one, it’ll be amazing and should do very well. It comes out November 18th, right?

awesome song I love it!

militaryheroes @ 10/08/2008 at 2:03 pm

The first time I heard this song, I thought about my son-in-law who just got deployed leaving my daughter at home eight months pregnant with their first baby. I’ve seen the anguish that he went through telling her that his obligation to serve his country supersedes the obligations to his wife and unborn son. Even after reading the lyrics, which is more likely about the pain of a breakup, I see my daughter leaving a light on for him to return home.

freaking love it. counting down the
days til november eighteenth !!<3(=

earl hound dog @ 10/13/2008 at 3:22 pm

i cant wait till nov 4

earl hound dog @ 10/13/2008 at 3:27 pm

elect oama

this is a amazing song…im so glad david cook won…i loved both davids from the begining…so im so happy…
this is a amazing song….
ps…david cook is fitt!!!!!

David is so freackin’ hot….I just can’t take it. I will say though that I like him better without the guyliner. He has beautiful eyes and they shouldn’t be messed with. He is perfect the way he is. I absolutely love him! I’m crushing BIG TIME! I love the song “Light On”. It’s going to be a great hit for him. I’m hungry for a COOKIE right about now! Mmmmmmm :)

Amy Tanner @ 10/14/2008 at 10:29 pm

David, This song is awesome. I am an elementary librarian and I can’t wait for your album. You are gold! Thanks and God Bless. Amy

i love this song!!
i really luv David Cook!!
so excited for the album.. ;)

angie_puertorico @ 10/16/2008 at 12:31 pm

Wow! The more I listen to LIGHT ON the more I like it.
His vocals are superb, I can’t wait for November 18th.
I’m glad he is the new American Idol, that show won’t be same after him. He set the bar way tooooo high.
God bless you, Cook!

ya, the pic is scary, but the song and lyrics are beautiful.

I honestly don’t watch Idol or even have time to keep up with it all, but I heard it the other day in the car and have loved it since. I didn’t even know who he was before I heard the song.

fidddle*** @ 10/18/2008 at 7:08 pm

i love david cook and this song is amazing.
i’ve listened to it soo much and its impossible for anything david sings to get old.
i’m counting the days till his album comes out!
one more month!
which seems like forever!

i love david cook. he is amazing. he’s so creative and none of his songs will ever get old, i listen to him everyday. i’m counting the days until his album comes out! just one more month, which seems like forever.

CHAOTIC1136 @ 10/18/2008 at 8:30 pm

omg…he is so sexy! love him, love the song!!!

MelikeyDavidcook @ 10/18/2008 at 10:48 pm

Wow, you can tell that there are a lot of Archie fans here, lol. Look you all…just be glad that your guy is doing great and leave our guy out of your hangups.
Love the look (especially that eyebrow)/love the song.

NOLAN DOMINGO @ 10/19/2008 at 5:31 am

Brilliant song. Though the class of the song is similar to TIME OF MY LIFE. So, let’s hope the next one is something different. Otherwise - he’ll just be ANOTHER idol that won. Despite he’s extraordinary voice in all time Music. I don’t know what to say about his face though - but yes, I agree. I liked the Idols David much better. Regards - nolandomingo@gmail.com

I had to listen to it a couple times, myself. I do hear that eighties rock thing some have mentioned, but…so what? The song was written by Cornell, wasn’t it? It’s serviceable. Probably do what he needs it to do: get him on the radio. I, too, love his ‘pure’ voice more than an over-processed arrangement–it’s why that coronation song did as it did; the vocals were all David Cook.

People, we may have fell in love with David Cook on AI, but he was jabbing every which way (to use that over-worked boxing analogy), doing what he had to do to WIN. And he won. Now, let the artist develop. I personally like the look he had for Be My Baby, but I’m not going to spaz because he wants to wear guy-liner, or some excited marketing director thinks this is the way to go. Not a big deal.

I’m waiting for the music written (or co-written) by David–full all that passion and verve we picked up on over the airwaves. It’s there. But don’t forget, as winner, he has many contractual constraints on how and what he puts out right now. Give him just a wee small break right now.

David–understand this: You didn’t win by 12 million votes for no reason. Your talent is amazing, and you have a whole legion of fans out here eagerly awaiting your return. Whether you think ‘that AI David’ was the real David Cook, or not, it’s the one we fell in love with–the one we voted our fingers off for, some for the first time ever! We see the genius in you. We see a bright future. We are selfishly wanting just a hint of that butterfly we watched unfold on national TV. Do your thing, but remember that the whole world has left a Light On for you. We’re waiting. Good luck, kid. Tear ‘em up.

Safireblu64 Cookster Fan @ 10/25/2008 at 11:26 am

I have to be honest, when I first heard this song I only liked it, but it was intriguing enough that I wanted to hear it again. That song turned out to be so catchy and it really grew on me. By the third time of hearing it I loved it!! I love David Cook I have been a fan since he first auditioned last year on A.I, and I continue to stand by as a solid ever-believing fan!! That guy is pure talent and pure heart…. a rare gem and a valuable find!! Oh and that picture, well even the most photographic people can have an unflattering moment. David is gorgeous and ordinarily takes stunning pictures. This was’t his best, but this isn’t his last… he will have plenty more in which will redeem him. Cut the guy some slack, buy his album on November 18th and eat your nasty comments.

Love the song, love the look and love him!

Hi David Cook, I am a huge fan of yours. and I wanted to know if you would let me put your picture of my yearbook page? i just wanted to say you are a AMAZING SINGER and I just wanted to say Light ON is Amazing because it really gives a message to me and because it’s from you.i LOVE You David Cook I want to meet you very bad. and I want to let you know Your not alone David Cook.
Your My favorite idol!

Your biggest fan, Julia Fulford

I remember watching the deciding Idol show…I was pulling so hard for Cook, I was thrilled when he won, no offense to Archuletta, the kids great in his own way but Cook is awesome…this song is fantastic!! I almost thought it was Hinder…Had to look it up…its GREAT!!

stephanie @ 11/02/2008 at 1:57 pm

love this song!! =D
n whats wrong with the way he looks in the album cover?!
he’s so gorgeous omg..

i absolutely love this song <3

&& i do like the picture. i don’t see anything wrong with it :D haha.

LOVE THE SONG!!! agree with most everyone else—HATE the picture. can’t wait for the cd.

i luv david cook!! i met him he was really funny…..
luv the new song its my favorite song!!
and that is not a bad picture of him he just looks different than before

Such critics!

I think the song is great and David has never looked so good.
I knew he would be a star!

Great tune David. Your photo has you “cleaned up” but you still are a hottie.. Can’t wait for the whole album

David Cook is definitly an idol and i think this song has something to do with his brother having cancer and how he feels about it. Although i love the song they defintly ruined his hottness! His hair is purple and his facial hair is red! what is with that? Whatever he is amazing and an idol for me… After he got out od idol he lost his control of his looks, these media people are telling him how to dress and look, just let him be himself people! He is amazing all alone

LOVE IT! Can’t wait to download the album from itunes…he’s so amazing and so hot and so talented.

pEACHSURFER @ 11/15/2008 at 12:27 am

i LOVE DAVID COOK, but in the picture his face looks as though he’s been EMBALMED! Yuck!

This song is incredible…it has great meaning to me…

As for knowing who David Cook is….I don’t do American Idol anymore….I think the show is about a bunch of hog shytt…..but that’s a different topic…I’m glad a friend of mine told me to YOU TUBE this song and listen to it…..wow…, is all I can say…..Someone looked inside of my life…and wrote a song that applies to my life……. Again…wow.

WOW..who cares if he’s wearing eyeliner? People asking if he’s gay…My gawd people..worry about what’s going on IN YOUR OWN BEDROOM…..instead of some dudes in Hollywood *(or I find in cases where people are wondering if this ones gay..or if that ones gay…normally there’s no SNEAKY FUHREAKY going on in their own bedroom) ….fa cry’n out loud…ya know already?

hi, too all american people

i especially liked the video of the song. i’m a sucker of the character of the guy from the bar…

i especially liked the video of the song. i’m a sucker for the character of the guy from the bar…

Great song! Have been looking forward to his album release. I was really glad David won Idol and hope he has a great career.

I love this song…….think he is SUPER fantastic. And personally I think he is amazingly sexy as well.

This songs makes me stronger toooooooooooooooo break up with my girlfriend!!!!

I’ve listened to it over and over again. Still love it and forgot how much I liked him on American Idol. And he looks good to MEEEE…idiots

lylcookie @ 11/23/2008 at 2:19 am

i love david cook. i have to be honest, the first time i heard the song, i really didn’t like it but after watching the video and see him sing, wow! the song is really good.

he looks nuts in the pic. but the song is great as well as the real david cook!!!!!!!

he looks nuts in the pic. but the song is great as well as the real david cook!!!!!!! w/o those colored beard and awful eyeliner!!!!!!

LOVE THIS SONG! LYRICS ARE VERY POETIC, NIICE!

Anybody else notice that this song is about dying!?!?!?!’
It so is…

‘Never really said too much
Afraid it wouldn’t be enough
Just try to keep my spirits up
When there’s no point in grieving
Doesn’t matter anyway
Words could never make me stay
Words will never take my place
When you know I’m leaving’

‘Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone’

‘My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons
That roll out underneath my heels
And you don’t know how bad it feels
To leave the only one that I have ever believed in’

‘When the signal keeps on breaking up
When the wires cross in my brain
You’ll start my heart again’…

You know I’m right! :)

I love this song!!! ;)

lol the picture is freaking me out

team edward! anyone here ever read Twilight? anyone see the movie?

I don’t really love the song n don’t like the picture either… but I think his vocal is awsome and glad the song isn’t that kind of catchy songs…

As if he didn’t wear eyeliner on Idol… C’mon you guys!!!

No, he is not gay.

Yes, I love him and his new song.

i love david cook

This is an amazing song!

i still think the other david should have won but in the end it’s life!!!

YA!!!

LEAVE THE LIGHT ON!!!!!

Would like to know the thoughts of the writer. Intense song, connecting to the lyrics in a way not sure it was intended. not sure if the comments are shared with David or/and the producers but would appreciate a deeper meaning from the creator.
Kinda empty comments being listed, listening with the eyes and not the ears, and definitely not hearing with the heart.
I’d like to believe a light on will help keep me finding my way home and comfort my loved ones when i’m gone.

I heard the song and went searching for the lyrics and found this page. Read the first page of comments and felt the need to reach out to the creators for a deeper meaning. THANK YOU BUZZ reading the one comment from you on page 5 gave me my understanding.
It has to relate to his brother. the light keeps bringing me home and i pray the light wont go out when i’m gone
THANK YOU DAVID for such a heart felt song

i dont like the pic !!!! david is ‘too clean’… some how it makes him looked like a fashion designer or what..

i love david cook! this song amazing!!!

hi there,
thanks for sharing the lyrics that i really wanted to download so i could sing along while david cook is singing!
honestly,i like david archuleta in the american idol season 7 last year.
he seems to be cute and about my age.
however,i feel like i love david cook after listening to his voice lots of times when he sings always be my baby,the music of the night,the time of my life and light on.
he seems to be so cool,matured and rock!
he deserved to be the american idol!
i wished i could spend time watching the american idol season 7 last year but unfortunately i could not due to my biggest SPM examination
anyway,i could still watch his video in you tube and listen to his songs in the radio. now,i am trying to watch season 8 and i hope it would as good as the past season. one more thing,david cook has always sing his song better and different than the original singer like always be my baby from mariah carey.i love david cook and yeah i wish he would become more successful in his career!

Don kenn june @ 02/19/2009 at 10:47 am

oh my.. is this him? like him so much! LIGHT ON!

Love the song but in the pic he looks like he’s trying to be a model not a grunge singer. He needs a bad boy look not a fruity one.

He is so amazing totally love him

I love this song very much. i have listened hundreds time already!!!!!

vag_licker @ 03/06/2009 at 2:10 pm

yo home boys this song sucks more balls then i got in my pants! he should go suck some testicle. what a ***!

vag_licker @ 03/06/2009 at 2:12 pm

correction……….he should go suck my testicles!
my bad dickheads!
Wellston, Ohio ***** fuckers

What exactly does the song refer to???? Love it but like to relate to it>

What do the lyrics mean???

I think the song needs more power on the sound of guitar because it’s gonna make it more emotional.

stephanie @ 03/10/2009 at 7:58 am

i really love this song! IT’S PERFECT! the lyrics, the feelings, the voice, the emotion that penetrates your entire body! it’s fantastic! i listen to it everyday, and it always breaks me down to tears… maybe because I’ve lived a love that I’ve lost and it reminds me of it…. it’s a sort of a blessed pain that i like to always feel… anyway, I’m really glad he won and he truly deserves to be called an Idol! keep up the good work, David! :*:*:*

i love this song it rocks i listen to it over and over agiain all the time i now every word to the whole song it is so awsome i love love love it i cant wait till daves new cd comes out on november 18.

@Rattlesnake: issjuss……Rattle, I can see your point, but as an old timer in the music business I should suggest to you that sometimes you may want to ignore the words……if they bore you….and enjoy the performance…….thats where she shines.

@Vanessa:
