When David gets it right, he gets it right. This tracklist is all kinds of wonderful. Which songs are you most excited about?

UPDATE
Kari was asked, “Does @DavidArchie play piano on any songs on BEGIN.?” And she answered, “yes he does.”
On March 12, at 6:15pm, Kari tweeted this photo of David, along with a caption:
@DavidArchie in the studio recording an original song. Cannot wait for you all to hear it.

While we can’t be certain if David was recording “Broken” during at this time, I’d like to think he was. I believe Kurt Bestor said David recorded two original songs for the album, and according to the track list, there is only 1 that made it onto the album. Maybe someday Kari will clarify this for us.
EDIT: Kari confirmed that the above photo is David recording “Broken”, “yes it was! Cannot wait to hear what you all think about Broken that will be one the BEGIN. album.”

WOW – Amazing list of songs. My favorite on the list is “In the Name of Love”, can’t wait to hear him sing that. Once I hear the CD I’m sure my favorite will change. Everybody Hurts and Don’t Give Up, hard song to sing, but I’m sure he’ll kill them. Getting really excited.

So excited to hear all the songs, but really the one that is more important to me is Broken. I just want it to be as powerful as all the other iconic songs he chose to cover. To me that would be surreally awesome.
