Off a his sophomore album The Other Side of Down, the song of the night, a song that's been stuck in my head all day, is David Archuleta's "Elevator." Written in 30 minutes about a dream he had, I feel like this song never got the recognition it deserved back in 2010 when it was released.
The simplicity and realness that this song carries makes it enjoyable, while the inspiring lyrics and cute tune make the song so inspiring and so 'David'. Some people may see this song as just a song about an elevator going up and down, but if you really pay attention to the lyrics, you'll realize that the song is about life. There's ups and downs, but it's the butterflies that keep you feeling alive.
This song is clever and fun, and is, in my opinion, the hidden gem of David's album. You can watch David perform the song live for Z100 below:
