Still writing.....

Worn out

...and I think my brain is turning to mush. LOL However, some amazing songs have been written over the past 6-7 weeks. Between me, the guys, and some great writers we've been working with, I think we have some GREAT stuff! It's been an awesome process. We wrote songs together as a band which was really cool. We also wrote with some guys that really contributed to what we do and helped us along with our process. Guys like Dave Basset (Shinedown) and Tommy Heriksen (Revis). I've also been doing some writing with some of the guys I've worked with before like Mitch Allan (All These Lives), David Hodges and Ben Moody (What About Now), Brian Howes (What I Want, Over You), and Zac Maloy (Used To). I'm also writing with some other people that I totally respect as writers and artists such as Ryan Tedder (One Republic) ,and my good friend Emerson Hart (Tonic). I know thats prolly way more that you wanted to know, however I thought I'd keep you in the loop. So, we're up to 30 some songs at this point and are still going.
Enough about that. It's tour time again! We will be playing a few new songs on the upcoming tour to get some honest feedback. We can't wait to get back out there and play live again...although we're prolly a lil rusty. LOL.
So, about the video... I'm so glad you liked it when it premiered. However, we we're trying to get it ready in time and it was still being edited. So the next time you see it, it'll be slightly different and in my opinion, alot better. Well that's about it for now. See ya on the road. God bless-CD

Waiting with baited breath for the new album. Love the new songs so far that I've heard on the tour. Chris, you're an awe-inspiring talent, as are the rest of the guys. You never cease to amaze and fascinate me with your artistry. It is my belief and prediction that whichever songs do end up on the new album will all be major hits, just as big, if not bigger than the ones from the debut CD. It's all good. Daughtry is a magical collaberation of super talent. I've grown to love each of you during this tour, so please help each other to stick together as a group for the long haul no matter what you endure on your musical path.

Now rest those pipes!!! Waiting with baited breath for your next tour as well.

it WILL be amazing Smiling still cant get enough of your first album!!

I want to thank Chris and all the guys for coming out by your fans after the show in Milwaukee, WI on Aug. 30. It really meant a lot that you took time for us after you sweated your booties off during the show!! haha thanks!!

for the new album and another tour! I still listen to the first album continuously in my car!! I'm so excited to hear more GREAT music from you guys!!! Smiling

order to write many, many, many songs, but we already know that about Chris.

Glad I'm in DAUGHTRY's corner of the world!!! LOVE you guys!!!

THESE R MY BOYZ!!!!!!!

I just wanted to say, although my race has nothing to do with this but, I heard your songs today on the radio and I was "totally amazed". I am a 33 year African American woman who has always enjoyed different types of music and today I was introduced to something beautiful. The songs that I am referring to are: Home & It's Not Over... All I can say is Five Stars to you!!! I absolutely love them and the words are so moving. I mean once I heard it I made this big huge annoucement at work asking "WHO ARE THESE GUYS"? Mind you I work in a Corporate Office and I going from office to office asking. The songs were actually being played through our telephone system at our desks. I am leaving here today going to buy your CD. I can't hardly wait to see what the rest of the CD has to offer. I hope you continue to write from your heart and don't rush what comes you truly have a way of expression through song and people when they listen right they can feel exactly where your heart is. SO, so, touching I know nothing else about you or your band but I am eager to find out. I have joined the website/club and I wanted to let you know that you've just gained one more fan from another race. How bout it? And I intend to share my experience with your music with all my host of friends.... Amazing you are! God bless you richly.......

I just wanted to say that I went to the concert at the NYS fair. My 4th Daughtry concert. As usual, it was total PERFECTION!!!! Your new song was great and I cant wait to hear more. I also want to thank you for being the performer that you are. I have brought my now 14 yr old daughter to 3 of your concerts and never once was I concerned that you would say or do anything that would make anyone feel uncomfortable! You excite people of all ages!!! You are a true rocker that relies on your gifts and talents. Thanks for sharing them with us so that we can ENJOY!!! I cant wait till the next time you come to upstate NY. We are definately going to try to meet you and thank you personally!

wow, sounds like you guys have been busy. I was at the concert in Essex Vt, and it was awesome. I went with my friend and we had a great time. I wouldn't be suprised if you get this alot but if you're intersested I have a song, well, lyrics anyway. You probably won't need it since you have 30 new ones. If you are interested you can email me at trotty13@gmail.com. hope to hear from you but I understand if I don't.

your sounds very magic.be charming.I can listen your music at all times I don't understand the language but , I love your sound

Hey Chris~ Thanks for taking the time for your fans at Konocti, it was a pleasure to get to meet you and the guys. You guys put on a great show, we saw you in San Jose with Bon Jovi and it was great to see you again. I look forward to many years of your great music. Bless your wife and kids for having to be without you while on tour. I love your new song, cant wait for your next CD...Keep smiling....

i would love for you to write a song about my daughter and how they are today. I requested your my space to her site that her best friend may for her. Ravin was killed as a passanger in a drunking accident at alway 17 yrs. old on 9/21/07. SO MANY people miss her and I myself. The driver was just arrested 2 weeks ago and have been working with alot of people. the song "HOME". Makes me think that i can not wait until i go "home" to see my daughter. She left 2 sibling behind and time does not get better is gets worse. She was my first and my baby gurl. You will see on her website. People use to say that "face", thoughs ice blue eyes and then the smile. it was that face and personaly made people smile and could not be mad at if you were having a peer pressure teenager fight. Her friends would tell you that she lived life to the fulliful and always put a smile on your face before she put one on herself. she thought of other first than herself. She LOVED her younger brother and sister to death even though they were a pain in her ass. Please take a look on her space. I to have this accident into an example for other. WOULD YOU HELP>

thank you,

was at the show in Indianapolis and really loved the new songs that you sang! Cannot wait until the new album comes out!
Also attended the VIP experience @ Indy and will not ever forget it. I brought my 11 year old daughter and I want to thank you Chris and the band for being so attentive towards her and making her first meet and greet such a memorable moment for her. She can't wait for the next one! lol..... My bff brought her 13 year old son also and they both had a blast! We definately cannot wait to see you and the band again. We'll bring you Reese Pieces next tme!!

May you be safe out on the road and may god bless!

I love what I've heard so far! I can't wait to see the new songs live in a couple weeks!!! But I have no doubt that the new album will be great. I wish you just as much success with the second as you have seen with the first! =)

Long way is an amazing song. I cannot wait for the new album! Love you!

Could somebody please post or tell me where to find the correct words for the new song,
LONG WAY? Heard it in Clearfield last Sat. and it is stuck in my brain, unfortunately I don't know all the words yet, and I've tried to get it from viewing on You Tube and still no luck. (the audio isn't the best).

Chris, if you are reading this, you'd be the best one to post the words...remember the fun we all
had with people guessing with YOU DON'T BELONG? So glad you posted those words...I LOVE LOVE, LOVE that song...of course, you may get a kick out of all our guesses with this new one, but
I am dying to know the words...when I learn a song with the wrong words, it's so hard to make myself correct it, and I can't look like a complete dork when I sing it in York....(YORK - DORK)..ha ha...I really didn't plan that! lol... Please somebody, HELP! WORDS PLEASE!

I have been listening to it over and over and love to hear your background vocals! Chris, you are a force to be reckoned with and you never disappoint!!! Keep up the GREAT work! Love ya! Smiling

Not sure if Chris reads any of this stuff posted. If you do though I just want to thank you for an expierence of a life time for my 8 year old son, my 4 year old daughter and of course my husband and I. We like many out there are low on money and feeling it but when are kids heard you were going to the Toms River Fest in NJ we just had to save up and get tickets. That we did and it was worth everything we saved. My sons face was beaming as he sang out all your songs. My daughter just clapped all night!!! Thanks for a great show. My son would love to meet you:] Good luck with your new cd the songs were great!

Too bad i didn't get the title of your opening song last Jul 29 when you had your concert in Manila. Please.. please.. Chris what's the title of that song? =)

You still have time to write songs???? wow...cause i see your tour schedule.... Even only read it...I feel so exhausted.... Still wondering how you keep your voice stabil and powerfull?? AMAZING!

Keep healthy guys.... I LOVE YOU CHRISSS!!! SOOOOOO MUCH!!! ... God Bless you!

Hey chris,
sounds really great. I am absolutely looking forward to it. But - How many songs will there be on the next record? I mean "Daughtry" was amazing, but just too few songs.
And when will it be released "over here" in Germany?
Best wishes and keep on rockin'
Mike

P.S.: Will there ever be a chance to get a clean version of you singing with Bon Jovi "Blaze of Glory" - just like you did with LIVE?

Hey CD, whatever direction you take with the new album I'm pretty sure it will be amazing! We listen to you in Africa and we love your music. You prolly won't be coming these side of the world any time soon LOL coz Africa is not known for it's love for rock, but as long as we get to listen to and buy yo music we cool. Much love from Nairobi Kenya and God bless you too!!

It's good to be alive!

Can't wait to hear the next cd..what talent!

Hey CD!Congrats for the huge success of your concert last night. It was really jampacked! ^_^ I hope you can visit us again and have another concert here in Manila! God Bless. - Arlene

I can't wait to hear your new songs. That's very exciting. I like your style of music and hope that you don't go too "hard rock." I think you're singing the style of music that best suits you now. And it doesn't hurt that you are totally hot !! You're the greatest!

Chris and the band, thank you for coming to Malaysia. I truly hope you guys make your way here again for a full-swing, all-out concert. Love your music mostly because it evokes certain emotions. Can't go a day without listening to at least one song off your album, especially What I Want and It's Not Over! You're fantastic! I'm sure Daughtry will go far for a very long time from now.

Cheers!

P/s: I have to say I really like Brian too. *shy grin*
