David Cook flicks ‘Light On’ his new single
The first single from American Idol winner David Cook has been burning up the charts. Now, he has a new way to stoke its popularity: a lighter application for iPhones and iPod Touch devices. Light On— which entered Nielsen SoundScan’s digital songs chart at No. 8 two weeks ago — will be available for purchase from iTunes this week for $1.99 with a “lighter” application that illuminates the screen of an iPhone or iTouch MP3 player. When users open the app and spark up the lighter, the full song plays.
“There’s a little semblance of rock mythos to it,” Cook says. “You get a lighter during a rock ballad and nobody burns their thumbs.“
Cook, 25, has had a heated schedule since taking the Idol title in May and signing with 19 Recordings/RCA. He quickly began working on a new album, a project he continued during the 2½-month Idols Live tour, which ended in mid-September. (He’ll appear with his new band on Saturday Night Live Saturday.)
“I wanted to be involved (in writing songs), and I have been, on a very base level, from the outset,” Cook says. “My name will be strewn all over this.“
Light On, a power ballad co-written by former Soundgarden and Audioslave singer Chris Cornell and producer Brian Howes, doesn’t necessarily reflect the entirety of Cook’s 12-track self-titled album, out Nov. 18. Cook’s voice on the song eerily channels that of Cornell, whose version of Billie Jean he performed during Idol.
“The single is a pretty good indicator of the median,” Cook says. “There are definitely songs on this record that are heavier than Light On. There’s heavy stuff and soft, intimate songs. But there are also songs that really incorporate the idea of ‘Keep it simple, stupid’ with some guitar, some piano and that’s it.“
Cook’s coronation song, The Time of My Life, which remains No. 1 on USA TODAY’s adult contemporary airplay charts, is included — but as a bonus track.
“I really wanted to show what kind of artist I am going to be for the next five or 10 years,” he says. “And I am not 100% sure that (Time) fits the record.” He says he’s satisfied with the end result. “We put together an amazing record in a very short amount of time,” Cook says. “(It) attains all the goals that I have set for it. I want this record to be important. I want this record to outlast me, if at all possible.“

Radio interview, he spoke with the crew at WTMX in Chicago this morning. David 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.” HereAlso on that web, if you were wondering how to play “Light On” on the guitar, David teaches you in this VH1 video. After the lesson, Neal Tiemann joins him for an acoustic performance of the song. Chords flash up on the screen to reinforce the lesson! HereThis web is very useful with cookie news!

Hey everyone, I just thought I'd let everyone know that there will be a cellcast of the Do the Wright Thing Gala at rickey.org on November 12. It will start around 8pm ---------------- MTV wants our questions for David. Sounds like he'll be busy in Time Square on the 12th! "HELP me HELP David Cook! Leave your questions in the comments section of this post, and I’ll try my absolute, mighiest (sic) mostest to ask them! In the meantime, watch the brave object of your Idol affections discuss the Barbasol and bawlin’ that went into his new album, and don’t miss David Cook on TRL — the last week EVAR! — on Wednesday, November 12!"
