I was lucky enough for David to choose our story about when my son James was born and the traumatic time we had when he came into the world. We were delighted that David and Guy chose our story to convert to lyrics and we're so happy that out of a difficult time in our lives, comes a song that bring so much joy to people. Miracles do happen, especially at Christmas!!

Everytime I play it, someone asks me about it. That's the sign of something special.<br /><br />Most of his catalog is available on iTunes with the exception of a few odds and ends. <br /><br />I have a feeling we're gonna hear a lot more from David in 2011.Vinny Verohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167457760151973169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558055401220732192.post-82037703777855638632010-12-28T09:07:34.171-05:002010-12-28T09:07:34.171-05:00@DanProject76 - Isn't it amazing how you can r...@DanProject76 - Isn't it amazing how you can remember the exact place and circumstances the first time you hear a song?<br /><br />I have ordered my CD/DVD set.

What a delightful voice. I am sad that I keep "forgetting" about him, although I'm off to iTunes now to catch up on his catalogue.

My first purchase was also Unworthy but I discovered him on late night TV. He's probably my artist of the year due to all the things you mentioned above: the interactivity, the amazing concert and the way he now does business. Have you ordered a version of the forthcoming live CD/DVD? I opted for a limited edition signed one with a hand written lyric sheet, couldn't resist it.DanProject76https://www.blogger.com/profile/01316911867846259567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558055401220732192.post-86225092665355429412010-12-25T09:22:33.599-05:002010-12-25T09:22:33.599-05:00@esque - Isn't it, tough?

It's possibly one of my favorite Christmas songs now.<br /><br />I saw the video for "Unworthy" a long time ago. I was at EMI and I was very interested in signing David for the US since his album was on Hut through Virgin in the UK. That's when I found out that "Unworthy" was part of his solo album instead of being under the Thieves moniker.<br /><br />Back then, I didn't see the complete clip either, just the first half of it on a compilation reel. When I saw it again recently, I knew immediately that it had to be the work of Sophie Muller. It has all of her trademark touches.Vinny Verohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167457760151973169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558055401220732192.post-58157355280784930342010-12-25T02:10:38.074-05:002010-12-25T02:10:38.074-05:00What a beautiful song "My Christmas Is You&qu...What a beautiful song "My Christmas Is You" is. It's enough to make one think that love is the warmest place on earth.<br /><br />I've long thought that "Unworthy" is one of the best pop songs of the last forty years, but seeing that Sophie Muller video for the first time makes me think that it's the single best pop song ever.esquenoreply@blogger.com
