At long last, David Cook is releasing his second single off his eponymous debut album (which, BTW, recently garnered RIAA Platinum status), "Come Back To Me", to mainstream radio while concurrently releasing "Bar-Ba-Sol" to rock radio later this spring. In anticipation for the former's release, David just premiered the accompanying music video on AT&T's music site, performed tonight on the results show of American Idol (Megan Joy got the boot. Praise Jesus).
The video, directed by Gavin Bowden, starts with David washing his hands and looking into the bathroom mirror of a music venue. He plays with his band, leaves, passes an alley, through the woods at one point, takes a taxi cab and ends up at the airport (baggage claim carousels, escalators, and all) -- all the while walking backwards in an ode to Coldplay's "The Scientist" video in which it borrows its reverse narrative style. It all makes sense at the end, and explains the somber attitude David portrays in the video, when he kisses his girlfriend (played by model Sarah Roemer) and bids a farewell to his lover before she takes her flight.
Anyway, very nice looking video. I was actually impressed by the video's cinematography. And kudos to David for singing the entire song backwards! It is quite a feat.
