I loved this video, to me it is saying ” I’m leaving but I already miss you guys.” The packing of the laptop says ” I’m only an e-mail away.” I know he means it just look at facial expressions.

I think he is saying, I may be going away, but my heart is still with you. I marvel at the beauty of his voice and persona.

I truly expect David to come back from his Mission with the “love of his life” on his arm and singing this song to her. Where else would he ever have a chance to pursue that phase of his life. And he’s getting old (in the Mormon world) to not be thinking of a wife and having a family. I truly hope that happens to him in the next two years.

This is another writing that hits the mark Roseanne! David sings with his soul. I’m so very blessed that he shared that with us. Forevermore is full of gorgeous tunes. Each one in it’s own way is special as they are sung with David’s true appreciation for the original singers. He respects their talents with each word he sings. I am especially fond of Tell Me. His VOICE is simply divine and hauntingly beautiful!
Thanks for your review. I look forward to what you think of his Begin album due in early August.

Well said, Roseanne….as a grandfather who used to sing quite a bit, I truly enjoy the expressiveness, the beautiful vocals, and the honesty of David’s music. While playing some of David’s songs on Forevermore, my grandson was singing along and said…”play those again”…..There is hope for artists such as David. Thanks for the terrific review…it’s well deserved for this classy guy with such vast talent.

Love everything about this review. I especially liked how you talked about David’s ‘intelligent restraint’. David does that so well. I think the entire Forevermore album shows much of that restraint, a skill that eludes alot of artists today. Really enjoyed your insight Roseanne.
