Brian Mansfield of USA Today interviewed David Archuleta recently about songwriting in Nashville. David also mentioned that he is currently on the P90X bodybuilding workout. Oooo… Muscleta!

Excerpt:

“My mind has, like, this chronic brain cramp,” says the 18-year-old singer, noted for the deer-in-the-headlights he got on American Idol whenever he had to speak instead of sing. “I’m never good with words. I’m never good at explaining things. So to write songs and tell stories and have a structured song has always been difficult for me, but it’s something I know I need to work on.”

Linear thinkers are boring anyway.

Ah, David is too hard on himself. Anyone who can correlate P90X workouts and practicing song writing is quite creative.

Rickey – Jeffrey Christ tweeted you about Jim Cantiello and David wearing coordinated Christmassy sweaters and caroling in the MTV offices today. Jim tweeted photos.

Re the USA Today interview above – great interview. It went deeper than the usual interviews with their usual questions. David’s so hard on himself. But he never gives up and always finds the good in any struggle.

My mind works a bit like David’s too.

his words sound like they came straight out of a christian epic. or mormon epic, i should say. david always says such profound things. i can almost hear the soft, legato notes of a piano accompanying him in the background.
