AC

I just found out that David Cook's older brother Adam passed away this morning. Adam had been battling brain cancer for 10 years, but was able to get flown out to see David perform on American Idol last year. David is known for having the initials AC on his guitars as well as on a tattoo. Despite Adam's death this morning he still was the grand marshal and ran in Washington DC's Race for Hope today and gave a touching speech.



I am sure that my David Cook concert that was supposed to be tomorrow will be rescheduled at some point. David had cancelled a few tour dates in late March because Adam has taken such a turn for the worse and my thoughts and prayers are with the Cook family. My heart hurts for David and his family today.

Here are the lyrics to 2 songs David wrote about Adam as well as the songs

AC - written when he was still with his band Axium

You must understand I'd take your place in a heartbeat
You can't comprehend what watching you does to me
I can't comprehend the kinds of feeling inside of me
You must understand that this is all so new to me

Please know I love you and I miss you anyway
I'm coming to grips with what you deal with everyday
You're always on my mind

I can't seem to find my own sense of disregard
Lord knows I'm hurting for you
I feel so benign not having control of this
But I'm here through your malignancy

Please know I love you and I miss you anyway
I'm coming to grips with what you deal with everyday
You're always on my mind

Please know I love you and I miss you every way
I'm coming to grips with what you deal with everyday
Everyday

Please know I love you and I miss you every way
I'm coming to grips with what you deal with everyday
You're always on my mind



Permanent - Written for his 2008 self titled debut cd

Is this the moment where i look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise that you`ll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change even if i tell you i won`t go away today
Will you think that you`re all alone
When no one`s there to hold your hand?
And all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary rest your head
I`m permanent

I know he`s living in hell every single day
And so i ask oh god is there some way for me to take his place
And when they say it`s all touch and go i wish i could make it go away
But still you say
Will you think that you`re all alone when no one`s there to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary, rest your head
I`m permanent
I`m permanent

Is the moment where i look you in the eye?
Forgive my promise that you`ll never see me cry
