NEW SINGLE • SPOONFUL • PREMIERES
4/20/22 – With an Earth Day release fast approaching, The 2nd Single from Rosales’ forthcoming album, REVIVE, premieres with Americana Highways. Within the premiere Rosales gives some background on the song along with how he was originally going to quit on the song, but an afternoon hang with friend and fellow singer/songwriter, Matt Costa, gave him the encouragement and inspiration he needed to see the song through to completion.
Song Premiere: David Rosales “Spoonful” – Americana Highways
Americana Highways brings you this premiere of David Rosales’ song, “Spoonful,” in honor of Earth Day. The song “Spoonful” will appear on the forthcoming 12-track LP, REVIVE (out July 22). REVIVE was produced by Mike Willson & David Rosales.
“Spoonful” is David Rosales on vocals and guitar; Tony Dean on bass; Marko Sanchez on drums; Lauren Breen on backing vocals; Tom Bremer on lead guitar and backing vocals; Prichard Pierce on trumpet and trombone; Jeremy Long on piano and organ; Mike Willson on percussion and backing Vocals; and Cole Blackamore on backing vocals.
The song chronicles the journey of hope for more from life, until after some darkness it finally happens: a spoonful of love. Such a lovely metaphor for life, among the more direct messages about recycling and Earth Day. It’s all about love.
Some songs write themselves, while others take a bit of time or never even reach the finish line altogether. “Spoonful” is of the latter. As a solo songwriter you live in your own head most of the time and sometimes you just need a little nudge to find your way. I’m thankful to my friend, Matt Costa, for encouraging and inspiring me to see ‘Spoonful’ through.
A few years back, I was hanging out with Matt at his hillside place in Laguna Beach. We were listening to music and I showed him some unfinished songs I had been working on. I started strumming through the structure of what would become “Spoonful.” I sang him the verse & chorus melodies with the broken lyrics I had. Matt settled in at his piano and we began to jam on it for a good while, throwing ideas back and forth. It was a sunny afternoon filled with creativity, laughter and a case of beer. I left feeling energized on the tune and finished it shortly thereafter. I’m glad I did, because it’s one of my favorites to play live! — David Rosales
