The Other Side of Down (2010)

The Other Side of Down was my introductory to David Archuleta, it was around 1 at midnight while I'm listening to this radio station named Magic 89.9 where they aired hits from the 00s, suddenly they played this certain hit song of him which gave me a lot of memories since that song was all a part of my development and nostalgia hit right through me.

I immediately had the thought of including a male artist to my varied list of musicians I idolise which are mostly females and the thought of having a male musician at least would be nice, I'm always up for discovering new artists and my intuition knew that with the song Crush alone, Archie had a potential flawless discography.

This album was destined for me to listen at first since right when I checked his instagram account he was having a live stream, doing commentaries from each of the tracks on this album or as he like to call it, his album listening party. I decided to stream its entirety and I am gratified on how amazing this album is, this was the type of pop I grew up listening to as an adolescent and it made me miss this era of pop music.

The album revolves around self-reliance and resiliency, for any teenage artists whose mostly noted for chic romantic tracks, it's very mature for a 19 year old Archuleta to focus on a introspective perspective, till now he's never egocentric with his composition and always makes sure that his songs can relate to his listeners personally, this is the reason how he caught me on looking up for his music, as for a teen whose dealing with a constantly changing mind, I seek music as a therapeutic way to stay still while I face the absurdity of this world. The Other Side of Down is my most personal favorite album of him and I couldn't be more grateful to witness his inspirating harmonies.

Forevermore by David Archuleta (2012)

If you'd tell me 12 years ago after his breakthrough on Idol, Would I believe Archie will release a major album containing covers of OPM classics? I'd highly doubt it, but now turns out that it became a possibility.

Forevermore is an exclusive album released in The Philippines and his first cover album before the succeeding Begin (2012). Containing classic Official Pinoy Music (OPM) covers that the Filipino masses cherishes, David didn't fail to capture the hearts of his Pinoy listeners for his soothing renditions of the timeless covers.

As a Filipino, I felt uplifted, I felt pride thinking about the commitment David exerted to share his devoting vocals to these Filipino songs we all loved even before his renditions, I find it ironic how he's more Filipino than I after witnessing his cover of Nandito Ako, the accuracy of his pronunciations was completely accurate and he truly gave a heartfelt emotion as if he's really the original performer of the given song.

Speaking of Nandito Ako, this era was an entire simulation glitch for Filipinos when he took an acting career for a mini telenovela from a well known TV Channel, the show was kinda wincing for the cliches for a typical romantic Filipino telenovela but still the effort given was something to appreciate.

I kinda regret not being able to witness those times when he was at the center of Philippine showbiz since I only began digesting his artistry in today's time, If only he'd still have the allegiance to do entertaining projects here in The Philippines I'd be very grateful since the love from his Pinoy fans never dimmed on this territory, Pinoy Archangels will completely adore Archuleta forevermore.

Begin. by David Archuleta (2012)

The 10 track studio album marks as David Archuleta's second album release where majority of the tracks are covers, songs from well known musicians like Christina Aguilera, U2, Cyndi Lauper and more were performed by Archuleta plus an original song co-written by himself titled "Broken." Each covers were merely stylized by pop rock and piano ballads.

From a promotional video clip uploaded, Archie stated that he still wanted to give his listeners an insight of what it's like to discover songs that can bring mutual connections as well. While David left a word stating, "I hope you still feel my heart even when I'm not here." It's clear that he never wanted to leave his supporters without giving them another angelic piece of him.

The decision to take a break from making music for the sake of his missionary was a risky move especially for a mainstream pop artist like David Archuleta, but he was completely cognizant about how temporary one's limelight is from the music industry, what mattered to him most was to serve and have a faithful identity.

To become a constant chart topper and a worldly mainstream act wasn't the importance David wanted to concentrate with, what mattered for him the most was the long term goal for being committed to God which he'll embody for a lifetime, he never took his impeccable talent for granted, he still wanted to share music but with a personal touch and not being held by the manipulative record labels, sure he's maybe one of the underrated musicians from our current time but he built an intimate support by his Archangels who sticked with him for over the past decade and these new fans who are discovering the treasuring discography of David Archuleta.

No Matter How Far by David Archuleta (2013)

Representing some of of the deepest cuts from his previous works, the compilation album merged covers, special edition tracks and unreleased songs from Archie's discography.

From a recent podcast by a duo named Talking Lion, David stated that No Matter How Far was released in order to give his fans some freshly remastered music to listen as he took a 2 year hiatus for pursuing his missionary in Chile.

A throwback teen pop Archuleta was the major vibe from No Matter How Far, although it encompasses more on a blue and heartaching perspective. The mid 00s type of pop represented on each songs leaves you on a nostalgic condition.

It may feel like a bummer to reminisce how simple the past decade was just with the rhythm of throwback music but moving on and living in the present time is a must. As long as one's living, there's still opportunities to be seen, chances to be taken, and life lessons to be learned.

No Matter How Far is somehow the valedictory of the teenage dream era of David Archuleta, 4 years after the release of this album he finally went back to a more fully matured version and continued to share his passion of music, releasing another breathtaking album about his journey from the ups and downs of his life titled "Postcards In The Sky."

Postcards In The Sky by David Archuleta

Archie's most genuine work, I find it unbelievable for a terrific, humble musician like David Archuleta to be so vulnerable, David has always been so mature and emotionally revealing with his music ever since he was a teenage pop sensation, yet as I listen to Postcards In The Sky, it just hits rock bottom, he's completely open about seeking the purpose of life, finding the right path wherein he'll be contended spiritually and mentally.

With the astrological aesthetic from this album, he described the idea of Postcards In The Sky as a look up from the aboves when things aren't going well temporarily, just a glimpse from the sky when life gets hazy brings so much calmness from one's mind and David wanted to encourage listeners for seeking resilience through the heavens independently. I am aware that Archie is openly religious and committed to share his God-gifted voice to share motivative music.

Sure we've dealt with our own displeasing moments with our own lives but know that these bitter situations makes us a living human. There's always an answer with our questionable thoughts and clinging faith is one solution to overcome our current problems. Postcards In The Sky was the introductory of an almost mislaid Archie but he didn't let the silver linings get the best of him and gladly, David's recent work "Therapy Sessions" was a celebration for finally learning to accept one's flaws and loving one's identity.

Now I'm senseless

Got no feelings left.

My pain won't let this heart beat in my chest

Now I'm senseless.

Why are we doing this?

I'm so losing it, oh oh, senseless.

"Just Breathe" by David Archuleta

Stand at the edge of the water

Still and at peace, I am stronger

I don't know if I can cross her

Looking for some kind of sign

For something that's set to align

That I only find on the inside

When it all stops spinning

When it all slowed down

I was swimming deeper

But I didn't drown

In a little silence,

In a little peace,

Took a little time

To find a peace of me

Just Breathe (x4)

I am not weak, I am stronger

I will not shrink, I am taller

There is still more I can offer

And someday you'll see

The better version of me

The man that I'm proving to be

When it all stops spinning

When it all slowed down

I was swimming deeper

But I didn't drown

In a little silence,

In a little peace,

Took a little time

To find a piece of me

Just Breathe (x4)

In a little silence, oh

So I open up to the flow

And learn to love you as we go

Until I don't think I just know

When it all stops spinning

When it all slowed down

I was swimming deeper

But I didn't drown

In a little silence,

In a little peace

Took a little time

To find a piece of me

Just Breathe (x4)

During this quarantine i've been passive lately, spending the past 3 months with daily household chores and the exhausting class activities tasks given by professors online just gives me this tardiness even though the work isn't all that much, though my head is a bit pessimistic because of the repetitive chores and the thoughts of mine where I just feel nostalgic missing how life was simplier back in the day, the feeling is overwhelming and somehow my head always gets the best of me, I do have the urge to seek new discoveries because this quarantine for me is an opportunity to expand your knowledge and abilities, and also a time to just try to be fit. Kinda like an unlimited leisure time for all of us since we never know when this will come to an end, although I need to clear up my mind to not be fearful in failure since nobody learns by getting it wrong on first try, with these steps on breaking my past habits I'll try to embody the process given, thank you.

How to Break a Habit

1. Make up your mind to do things differently. Make the decision to turn this thing around. You have all the power you need, and you can make this work for you.

2. Decide to only work on one habit at a time. That focuses your mind, and your will to succeed.

3. Design a plan that is attractive and rewarding. If the pain exceeds the gain then you may not persevere. There must be something that’s enticing to make it seem worthwhile.

4. Nuke your negative thinking. You know that things will be tough and you’ll be tempted to give up – but plan in advance so you can push through trying times. For example, imagine how you’ll feel when you are living differently, and you’ve broken with the habit, and are basking in success.

5. Know the worst times of day, and the times you struggle most. Then come up with a plan so you cope better with those. But … make sure your ideas work, and are attractive enough, as it’s hard to keep on going when we’re low on energy.

6. Keep it simple. A harsh or complex plan can be too hard to implement. But making simple changes feels much more doable. (Also, remind yourself “it’s easy – and it’s not that hard to do.”)

7. Notice your successes. And reward yourself with that. Your effort’s paying off – and you are closer to your goal.
