    Aww, Lydia, not all of us angst. But all of us are delighted with the news! I’ve been off the grid for a few days, and came back to this tonight, so I put every attempt at premature verdicts in abeyance, and just enjoy the experience of all kinds of David Cook news, and new music coming, after all the waiting!

    Also, very glad I pre-ordered, and also. that seems to mean extra stuff, this time.

    It’s all pretty damn cool. IMO. Of Course.

    After seeing the cover and reading the title first thing this morning, I had to come back and see if I still love it.

    I do.

    Sunchick, I think it’s very easy to read a double meaning into the title. Someone (suenigma?*) mentioned that a couple pages back and though I hadn’t thought of it before, I can’t un-see it now.

    I also love the play between the title and the photo showing lots and lots of amps and woofers that clearly aren’t plugged into anything. So how can this morning be loud? Must be the music inside somebody’s head…

    ETA: Oh and yes, I agree about the suit too. I seem to recall reading or hearing an interview where Cook mentioned his older brother was known for being a snappy dresser –that came back to me when he said recently that the new look he’d decided on was “dapper.” I definitely think you could see it as a tribute of sorts.

    And now I’m having flashbacks to when a new, eagerly anticipated album would come out and my friends and I would pour over the images and liner notes for hours and try to read between the lines. The one up there actually looks *made* for that 12×12 format.

    *and fadedtowhite!

    So, anyone else thinking there might be a bit of a double meaning with morning=new beginning, and the homophone mourning=loss/death/moving on?

    Yeah – I think I said it way back on the thread: definite plays on words going on within that title. It makes me happy to see it, because plays on words = Cookian album to me…

  • fadetowhite

    Has anyone got a link for the E news segment? I’ll go and search the sites….

    ETA: found it. I can certainly get into the idea of the record being about him “Getting into his own head.”

  • Incipit

    Here’s the youtube of it, fadetowhite. It’s repeated, so you don’t have to. *chuckle*

    I see you have it, on the edit. That hand gesture to show how all the outside noise collapsed, it’s very evocative.

    Thanks Incipit: nice interview. He does look very relaxed/confident.

    For those of you here that like both Adele & David Cook, here’s a mashup (done by my friend on twitter, @Along4theRide) and uploaded to the tubey by rugpal. I would like to see an actual duet by these two someday.

    Adele/David Cook mashup.

    The audio was taken from David Cook’s performance at Pet-a-Palooza and combined with that from a live performance by Adele.

    Wordnerdarchie, thanks so much! Their voices sound awesome together!

  • sunchick

    Yeah – I think I said it way back on the thread: definite plays on words going on within that title.

    My bad…it was late when I was reading back through the thread. ITA, though…intriguing/ambiguous/open to interpretation=awesomely Cookian=happy Cook fan. ;)

  • Keel

    So, anyone else thinking there might be a bit of a double meaning with morning=new beginning, and the homophone mourning=loss/death/moving on? The full on suit seems a bit much for morning, but not for mourning. YKWIM?

    Might be a bit macabre but I found the stereo speakers in the background oddly reminiscent of tombstones at an old churchyard.

  • fadetowhite

    My bad…it was late when I was reading back through the thread.

    No problem – it’s good to see a few people on various boards thinking the same sorts of thing. I was a bit uncomfortable about reading too deeply into things. And I like your idea of tieing morning/mourning into a new dawn/moving on…

  • MollyAnnMay

    Might be a bit macabre but I found the stereo speakers in the background oddly reminiscent of tombstones at an old churchyard.

    I didn’t see that before either, but I guess that could be one way of looking at it. In which case, I like that he’s half-turned from them — acknowledging them but also looking ahead.

    And ahaha, those *are* speakers — I don’t know why, but I saw the round shapes and immediately thought of woofers and assumed the rest were amps. Maybe it *is* possible to try too hard to see other meanings when the obvious is staring right at you. ::eyeroll at my ohso earnest self::
