Understanding - someone who gets it! We all need someone like that. Enter, the David on Earth CD - a collection of songs by David J Ashley in the rock genre from someone who has experienced loss, love and hope on a level with the common person. This isn't bubblegum pop stuff. No. We're talking about real, down in the trenches (on earth), 'I feel you' music straight from the journals of someone just like you.
Loss. It burns deep, and it's OK to hurt. Songs like It Should and Home will remind you of that place you were when bad news came. In a retrospective way that acknowledges the pain, the message is that 'although a piece is missing now, you're stilling holding on and moving forward.' Notice the soul like Joe Cocker and the expression like that of Russ Taff and Randy Matthews - now twist in the story telling of Dan Fogelberg or Gorden Lightfoot.
Love. Not the mushy, flowers and candy, belly-tingling kind. We're talking about the ultimate, 'die for you' love that longs to be at the center of us all. We all want acceptance in spite of the damage we've done. Second Chances, Sky, It's Time, Want You, Only One are a few songs on this CD that define love and mercy in a way not normally expressed... a little edgy and mysterious... because those who visit the edge or surround themselves with mystery sometimes need it more than others. You'll hear a fusion of Bebo Norman, David Bowie and Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) in these songs.
Hope. Not a day goes by that we don't hope for something good for no reason except we need it... we need the good stuff to survive. We especially need hope in desperate times. If there's a message for today, it's 'hope.' I Know, When Worlds Collide, and Again frontline this CD with a word of hope - again, not in the most obvious way you might expect it. If hope is to be more than a word, than it needs to come from experience you can hold on to. Need hope? Sure you do.
Get Ready for Real... Don't expect one long song on this CD. The diversity has captured the attention of many listeners - yet - not so diverse that it isn't identifiable. And the David on Earth CD is certainly not a collection you would listen to without being affected by it in a way that changes you at the core. Real music with a real message from someone like you.
ORDER NOW. If you have David Bowie, Nine Inch Nail, Joe Cocker, Russ Taff, Randy Matthews, Jars of Clay, Randy Stonehill, Eli, Kansas, The Doors, The Cars, Phil Keaggy, Cheap Trick, Collective Soul... any of these in your collection - you'll find David on Earth to be a nice addition.
