After more than 2 months waiting, yesterday afternoon I received mail from amazon.com contains the long awaited debut album my favourite American Idol. Who else..? David Cook. Since yesterday; I have been spinning this CD for more than 10 times already. The only conclusion that I can make now is IT IS VERY NICKELBACK !!! This album contains 12 tracks plus one bonus track; THE WINNING SONG - THE MUSHY-MUSHY BALLAD - THE TIME OF MY LIFE. DC co-wrote 10 out of the 13 songs. I enjoy listening to Light On, Heroes, Lie, I Did It For You, Declaration and off course The Time of My Life.

LIGHT ON
Never really said too much
Afraid it wouldn’t be enough
Just try to keep my spirits up
When there’s no point in grieving
Doesn’t matter anyway
Words could never make me stay
Words will never take my place
When you know I’m leaving
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone
You know we’ve been down that road
What seems a thousand times before
My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons
That roll out underneath my heels
And you don’t know how bad it feels
To leave the only one that I have ever believed in
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone
Sometimes it feels like we’ve run out of luck
When the signal keeps on breaking up
When the wires cross in my brain
You’ll start my heart again
When I come along
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone
