i love altnoy. like, i LOVE altnoy, i don't think i've ever properly told anyone just how much this song owns me.
because, okay. me and this song go back to july. oh yes. because. okay. let me compose myself. remember when david did his canada blog? i mean, i've already gloated about this, but i guessed that the songwriter he mentioned working with was torontonian matthew gerrard - and then later on he really DID end up working with gerrard. so then the song clip leaks while i had instated my new spoiler virgin status (a sullied virgin, whatevs), which i promptly had to ditch once i heard that this was the david/gerrard co-write. and - well, i said this best in a chat back then:
me: it's like
me: you saw a couple people
and went "DUDE"
"THEY WOULD MAKE PRETTY BABIES"
and everyone else is oblivious to the POTENTIAL
and then 10 months later
there's a baby
me: and it's gorgeous
and then he was listed first as a writer. and it was beautiful, with that lush chorus and the strings and the sweeping bridge and AAAAGH. and it seemed so so so clear to me this would be the next single, and then it WASN'T, and i was sad, but now it IS, and i'm so breathlessly happy i don't know what to do with myself. guys, i love this song so much, i'm so happy. i loved it from the first "eh eh eh", when i perked up and thought "hey, this sounds contemporary. like it's from 2008." and then the gorgeous melody and the beautiful beautiful texture of the sound - this is a pop confection and it is done delightfully, and he STILL gets to belt, and there's a falsetto, and it's SO SO SO catchy, but not in an annoying way (TAKE THAT, MARATONE). ALKDFEL. I LOVE IT SO MUCH YOU GUYS, AND NOW I WILL GET TO HEAR IT ON THE RADIO. i'm so happy, i wish i could just measure my heart for you to see, because i can't do it justice in words. i am so pleased. i am joyous.

I just had to take a moment from voting on VH1 to say how happy your happiness is making me! I can feeeeeel the love.
What does the graphic come from? I'm clueless.
THANK YOU KAREN. I AM PRETTY HAPPY, I GOTTA SAY. And yay for Vh1 voting! I'm honored you took a break for THIS, heee. (IMAGINE! someday soon we can vote for Crush AND ALTNOY! !!!!!!!)
oh, the picture is me taking a screenshot of my last.fm page - it tracks the music you play. so those were my playcounts for music for the last three months, hee.
Sabrina, I am here to give you my 1000% support of ALTNOY. There is only one thing I want to add: the minute I heard the snippet I knew it was going to be addictive, and that is what a hit is all about. So I am very very happy about the decision Jive just made. The fact that David is going be benefited more from having this song a single makes me ever happier.
aw sabrina my lovely, so this is how you squee. i have like tears. please gloat about it again. i am happy you called it that early. you have astute ears for great Davey music. i, too love altnoy like a lot. always lovely to see you post. missed you.
awwww, bri. <33
you are a genius. and i'm so happy you are joyous. that makes me joyous. i was already joyous. but now i'm even more joyous knowing that you are joyous.
This song is definitely single material. Ever since I heard it, I just got this music video playing in my head: Archie singing w/ a dark, foggy background... full of anguish and regret... flashback to Archie together with girl-whose-humanity-is-in-question-because-no-one-can-dump-D'Arch-unless-you're-inhuman... then The Bridge comes up, Archie clenches his fists and oh Lord I think my brain has malfunctioned now...
