Title: John co-writes a song for David Cook's new CD
Post by Shannon on Oct 15^th, 2008, 1:49pm

David Cook puts the finishing touches on his upcoming album

Oct 15, 2008, 02:02 PM | by Shirley Halperin

David Cook has been pretty quiet since the American Idol tour wrapped Sept. 13, but with his debut due on Nov. 18, the season 7 champ is preparing for another nonstop ride. Mastering on his self-titled album was completed in New York earlier this week, with Cook personally overseeing the finishing touches on 12 tracks, 11 of which he wrote or cowrote. Other songwriters who made the cut: Goo Goo Dolls' Johnny Rzeznik, Our Lady Peace singer Raine Maida (who's credited on four songs), Cathy Dennis (of Britney Spears "Toxic" fame), and, of course, Chris Cornell, who wrote the single "Light On."
As of Oct. 21, fans who pre-order the full album on iTunes can download the single instantly and will also get an as-yet-undetermined exclusive bonus track. As for the Idol-winning song, "The Time of My Life," which Cook told EW.com might not make the record, it had yet to be included on the album's official track listing, as of press time.
What's next on Cook's schedule? A video for �Light On,� directed by Wayne Isham (Bon Jovi, Britney Spears), which he'll shoot in Los Angeles on Thursday and Friday, and lots of TV appearances next month, among them: The Ellen Degeneres Show, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Live With Regis and Kelly, and Good Morning America. It's a good thing Cook's firmed up his backing band, which, in the ultimate gesture of hometown pride, includes two members of the Tulsa outfit he used to play with, Midwest Kings.
Full track listing after the jump...
1. Declaration � � � � � � � � �
2. Heroes � � � � � � � � � � � �
3. Light On � � � � � � � � � � �
4. Come Back to Me � � � � �
5. Life on the Moon � � � � �
6. Bar-ba-sol � � � � � � � � � �
7. Mr. Sensitive � � � � � � � �
8. Lie � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
9. I Did It for You � � � � � � �
10. Avalanche � � � � � � � � �
11. Permanent � � � � � � � � � � � � � �
12. A Daily AntheM*
* Of course we asked if the last letter in "A Daily Anthem" was capitalized on purpose, and were told by 19 Entertainment that it was, per Cook's wishes. Check back with EW.com for an explanation from the man himself. �

Oooo, this could be a fun guessing game! My first choice is Come Back to Me. Then again, we know how much John likes to use 'lies' and 'lying' as a theme in his songwriting, so maybe it's Lie. But he also sometimes likes to use obtuse song titles (Iris, anyone?), so maybe Avalanche could be it. Hmmm ...

I'd either put money on it being 'Lie' or put money on it NOT being 'Mr Sensitive'...

My first guess was also Lie, actually. Am putting money on it not being Bar-ba-sol (srsly, what is that? lol).

We were all wrong! I guess we have our answer:

David Cook spoke with the crew at WTMX in Chicago this morning.

He reveals in this interview that he wrote �Declaration�, the new song he performed on Saturday Night Live, with Johnny Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls. They wrote the song together in Rzeznik�s hometown of Buffalo, NY, and David says, �We knocked that song out kind of quickly.�

Now I wanna hear it! Wish I had stayed up to see him perform it on SNL.

Declaration .... cool. That sounds like a John song doesn't it. I wonder if it's political? I can't wait to hear it either.

Not really very political. The lyrics are sort of very recent-era John, though, haha.

I absolutely LOVE David's album. Declaration is a great song...you can definitely hear John's style in it.

That's good to know. I've been thinking about buying it but was waiting to see "real people" reviews.

I was a fan of his from the beginning of the season on Idol last year and was thrilled that he won. So needless to say I went to the store on my way to work the day his album came out to buy it. I really like it.

Every time I've hit the stores to purchase a CD, the area for his is empty. It is selling out here because I live in the area he is from. You would think the stores would of realized the people who live where he is from will want copies. They should of ordered a heck of a lot of the CDs.
