Great photos!
Thank you for all the work on this site for our rising star Mr. Danny Gokey and Band. They look like they put on amazing
concerts.
August already. At the end of next month Autumn. Looking forward
to the cooler temperatures.
Have a great week everyone.. 🙂

New discussion post after a busy “new music” weekend!
I love having a hard time deciding which photogragher’s work to feature in the new discussion post! Much thanks to Philip David.
More photos will be coming from Annette, Grace and Brittenay! And I am hoping Stacey treats us to her roadtrip story 🙂
I’m hoping Danny releases the new single to iTunes and to radio — my soon. He said August. I’m ready!

Hoping I finally have some free time today Jan to sit and type that up & upload my pics from my “big camera” I brought with, I got some amazing shots 🙂
What a great weekend it was!!! 🌟

So Danny’s new album is called Rise. Katy Perry is releasing her new video called Rise. 😕
Loading...
If you go on iTunes, there’s about 8 songs called “Rise”. All very different. I don’t think there will be much confusion 😉
I wonder how long until they push a first single out and to radio?

That’s what my husband did, Jan. No, I don’t think there will be any confusion, either. 🙂

Looks like Danny will have a solo Christmas concert in Austin on Dec 4th
Any bets we will have a Spanish language Christmas song this year?
Loading...
That would make a lot of sense, Steph. Maybe that is another reason they are pushing #Rise to 2017? Do you think he’d record Feliz Navidad? We know he likes it. He sang it with Sophia’s father playing the Spanish guitar and it sounded great. (Stripped down would be best IMO)
Danny shared my new music post this morning 🙂
Loading...
Do you think he’d record Feliz Navidad?
seems to me that would be a natural. I vaguely had the impression they might have recorded or at least considered it for last year’s Christmas Is Here project.
I watched the first periscope when Danny was singing “It’s Not Over.” I’m glad that he’s still singing this song. One of my favorite, and I’m sure gets the crowd going. Did anyone else watch it? Danny was dancing all over. It looked very hot. Not sure, but he might have gotten a little mixed up. Either way, it looks like he’s giving it his all. He truly get a work out. 🙂
Loading...
Besides some spelling errors, one of my sentences sounds off. Not that Danny isn’t hot, but I was meaning that the weather looked hot. 😕

That is a nice Instagram clip of Rise.

Loading...
Can I say.. Danny and Leyicet’s children, Daniel and Victoria are so adorable. I’ve loved watching them grow up. The videos of them show loving, and sweet children. That comes from wonderful parents. 🙂
Loading...
That’s great about the compilation album. I’ll see if we can add it for anyone wanting to check out the songs that are included.
Loading...
Hi everybody.Just finished listening/watching the three new songs and absolutely love them.
Loading...
A good video of TIWIM was tweeted.
“11h11 hours ago
@dannygokey This is what it means to be alive! #slc ‘
Loading...
I’m looking for the tweet, but here is one of Symptoms.
Plus, we have got some goodies coming thanks to Zuzana attending a show!!
Mr. Bing, I really like the songs, too. So glad the are sharing them already!
I’ve had a little news filter it’s way to me. New single should be coming out next week! (Friday? Not sure if it will be available for purchase, yet, or if it is just going to be available for download by radio? Sometimes I don’t get to ask ALL my questions.)
The album is due in January. And the single “Better Than I Found It” is not a duet on the album…… I get the feeling they may be rethinking that? Finally, the SHF Gala in Milwaukee is set for Wednesday, October 19th.
That beginning is so beautiful. Danny is REALLY coming into his own on this concert. While this tour didn’t come near me, I hope he carries some of this over to his individual shows — like the one in Pewaukee, WI!!
Loading...
What a beautiful video. Looking forward to Danny’s new CD, but his last CD will always be a favorite. 🙂
Loading...
I’m a little worried about whether it’s too early for Danny to headline a tour. I hope the Positive Hits tour will be a success, because I like when Danny headlines. Plus, the show appears to have special effects, like the photos in the background. Under other circumstances, I would have attended the show that is relatively near me. But I am juggling so much right now, there is just no way.
Loading...
Ellen, I haven’t heard that the shows are selling out, but the photos I have seen show a really good crowd. I especially like the phones waving in the air for #BetterThanIFound. I know the lighting has been very challenging for photograghers… but it looks like a great experience.
If the show hasn’t sold out, maybe you could still pick up a last minute ticket and see the sights from way up I’m a balcony…. it looks like they could be awesome visuals and the audio is usually really good off the floor 🙂
They really didn’t advertise Danny as the headliner for this tour, but it seems he has last performer spot each night.
Loading...
And we have ANOTHER recap to enjoy! This time from longtime fan, Zuzana.
And she treats us with her photos and a short segment of Danny’s new song “Better Than I Found it”. Love the view of the crowd when he sings this one!
No I can’t, Jan. Even though Danny will have two dates within a reasonable driving distance, I just have two much going on between work and trying to get my sister adequate healthcare, etc. I can’t cope right now. Not even with the logistics of attending a concert.
Loading...
Life getting in the way of fun, Ellen? I hate when that happens….
Best wishes for you & your sister ♡
Loading...
Good luck getting through a busy time, Ellen.
Loading...
Really nice event and write up for Danny.
I will be putting up a post on this one and on our calendar, but I am too tired, tonight….
I liked the movie “Nine Lives.” I thought it was funny.
After I saw it, I looked on twitter to see what comments were being made about it and discovered critics had trashed it. Well, I still like it and still think it was funny.
It is a PG movie–not PG-13, just PG. It’s not a cartoon; it has people in it. It is not a loud, boom, loud, boom-boom, loud CGI yelling video-game type comic book movie. (Can you tell I am not fond of some comic book movies?)
Loading...
I did like the first Iron Man movie. In the first one, RDJ seemed to be playing a person. After the first one, he seemed more a machine–less acting, increased noise and CGI.
I also liked RDJ in “The Judge.” Again, he was playing a person. It was a people movie–with people in the movie playing people.
Loading...
More random thoughts…
Sometimes I have a part of a song running through my thoughts, over and over. I might not hear the words clearly at first. Then, when (if) I do, I perhaps don’t recognize the source. I keep wondering, “Where did that come from?” Recently, I had the line “You’ll always be here in my heart” in my head. I kept thinking it was part of a love song and that it was pretty. Finally, I realized it was a rewording of a line from Danny’s “Christmas is Here.”
Loading...
Nice to have your random thoughts back, Lurker 🙂
I was hoping Danny’s Spanish album would make the top 25, but hey, he broke onto a new chart!!!
Danny Gokey News @dannygokeynewz now
Congratulations, @DannyGokey!! You’ve broken into a new @BIllboard chart!! #27 on the Top Latin Album for #LaEsperanzaFrenteAMi 082016

So, this is an interesting Ticketmaster announcement: Danny joining Casting Crowns and Unspoken on March 4th in Pittsburgh? At a very large arena? (Not Heinz Field large, but a capacity of nearly 20,000….)
We haven’t seen this photo in awhile…. 🙂
Wasn’t it from the photoshoot that was going to be for the 2nd RCA album 🙁

Hey, I see we just hit 200 posts created for DGNews. 200 in less than a year? No wonder it seems like I’m running to keep up with Danny….

Hmm. The Pittsburgh gig might get me close enough to meet up with Danip. And I love Casting Crowns. But March is too far away to plan right now. So bye-bye to any good tickets. Although my concert experiences have proved it doesn’t matter how close you are to the front if everyone stands anyway . . . *thecurseofbeingshort*

Congrats to Danny on the Dove Award nominations. He has stiff competition, but the nominations alone are a step in the right direction.

Looks like K-LOVE is scooping Danny with their premiere:
I heard the song ” RISE ” first time at concert Positive Hits Tour 🙂 another beautiful song !
Congratulations Danny and Team Danny on the Dove Award nominations !!! Go Danny Go !!!!!! <3
Loading...
I’ve heard that a different station broke ranks and already played Danny’s “Rise” today. I wonder what K-LOVE would think of that? 😉
So Danny (probably Team Danny) replied to our tweet that the release of the Cover Art and snippet are all part of the roll out plan. More is coming on Friday. I am guessing that is when the song becomes available. 🙂
Loading...
I can’t understand what the words are (except for “rise” and “shine”), so I hope there is also a lyric video coming out Friday. 🙂
Loading...
I have worked on the lyrics, but I would like a lyric video, too.
Loading...
This is very rough, but here’s what I have based on a video:
You’re past the point of trying again
You’re defeated , You’re defeated
But something inside you can’t deny
You hear the call of your creator
I made you for more,
Unlock the door
I want to restore your glory
So Rise,
Breaking the dark into the light
You’re made to shine
We all need hope
The world needs
We need light, we need light
You were made to shine
If —– Around you
Seen your dreams are lost,and found you
The heart that was once beating
is coming back alive, coming back alive
But something inside you can’t deny
You hear the call of your creator
I made you for more!
Unlock the door!
I want to restore your glory
So Rise
Bringing dark into the light
You were made to Rise
I’ll be the hope
Bringing the world
Bringing love
Bringing light
You were made to rise!
Shut the door on Yesterday
____________ way
You were made to rise,
You were made to shine
Creation is only for today
——-Tender place
You were made to rise
You were made to shine
Rise, breaking the dark, __ the night
You were made to shine
All we all need hope,
You were made to Rise
I’ll be the hope
For this world
You were made to rise
Does it look like Danny is getting better billing than Unspoken?

Hi Jan!
I transcribed the lyrics!!
(stanza 1)
There’s a brokenness inside of you
there’s a wound that still reminds you
of a fear and shame and rejection
you have seen, you have seen
(stanza 2)
you know it’s time to get up
but your heart’s paralyzed, you’re so stuck
you’re past the point of trying again
you’re defeated, you’re defeated
(chorus)
but something inside you can’t deny
you hear the call of your Creator
I made you for more, unlock the door
I wanna restore your Glory
So Rise
Breaking the dark, piercing the night
you’re made to shine
an army of hope, bringing the world a ray of light, a ray of light
you were made to Rise
Rise
(stanza 3)
Lift your head and look around you
see the dreams you lost, they have found you
and the heart that once was beating
coming back to life, coming back to life
(back to chorus)
(bridge)
shut the door on yesterday
leave what happened in the grave
you were made to rise
you were made to shine
Creation’s longing for the day
for kings and queens to take their place
you were made to rise
you were made to shine
Rise
Breaking the dark, piercing the night
Made to shine
Bring the world a ray of light
Rise
breaking the dark, piercing the night
you’re made to shine
an army of hope, bringing the world a ray of light
a ray of light
you were made to rise, Rise (repeat line to fade)
I am loving this song already. it’s a great anthem and I can almost see of an army of fans holding signs with Rise written on to hold up during the chorus. This is a song that begs for a live video recording just for that. I can’t wait to hear it live in a couple of weeks.
Loading...
Thanks, Lori! It is a lot easier with the actual song recording, isn’t it. I see a couple of little words I’d change, but this is a BIG help!!
I think #BetterThanIFoundIt has to be a live recording of the song with ALL those people on their feet, swaying and holding the lights of their phones in the air…
I think Danny needs to go down tha live recording route!!
Loading...
Does it look like Danny is getting better billing than Unspoken?
And they don’t see all that far apart CCM-wise, although I’d expect Danny with his AI and country exposure has much more name recognition fwiw.
Unspoken is an American Christian pop rock band.[1] The band is composed of Mike Gomez, Jon Lowry, Chad Mattson and Ariel Munoz.[1][2] The band released their debut single “Who You Are” on the record label Centricity Music. Released on June 12, 2012,[3] the song has charted on numerous Christian song charts, and was the only song from the band’s debut EP Get to Me to be featured on their first full length album. The self-titled debut LP Unspoken was released April 1, 2014. A five-song preview EP, The World Is Waking, was released July 24, 2013.They have had four straight Top 5 AC singles in their career including “Who You Are,” “Lift My Life Up,” “Start A Fire,” and “Good Fight,” with “Start A Fire” reaching No. 1; the song “Life My Life Up” was also included on the 2015 WOW Hits Release.[4] With successful tours alongside artists such as Big Daddy Weave and Sanctus Real, Unspoken has built steady momentum with their last two EP’s.[5] Their album features diverse recording, befitting a diverse band from all over the country including Maine, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic.[6]

Hmm. The Pittsburgh gig might get me close enough to meet up with Danip. And I love Casting Crowns. But March is too far away to plan right now. So bye-bye to any good tickets. Although my concert experiences have proved it doesn’t matter how close you are to the front if everyone stands anyway . . . *thecurseofbeingshort*
Congrats to Danny on the Dove Award nominations. He has stiff competition, but the nominations alone are a step in the right direction.
Looks like K-LOVE is scooping Danny with their premiere:

RISE is going to be a hit!!!!
I heard the song ” RISE ” first time at concert Positive Hits Tour 🙂 another beautiful song !
Congratulations Danny and Team Danny on the Dove Award nominations !!! Go Danny Go !!!!!! <3
I’ve heard that a different station broke ranks and already played Danny’s “Rise” today. I wonder what K-LOVE would think of that? 😉
So Danny (probably Team Danny) replied to our tweet that the release of the Cover Art and snippet are all part of the roll out plan. More is coming on Friday. I am guessing that is when the song becomes available. 🙂
I can’t understand what the words are (except for “rise” and “shine”), so I hope there is also a lyric video coming out Friday. 🙂
I have worked on the lyrics, but I would like a lyric video, too.
This is very rough, but here’s what I have based on a video:
You’re past the point of trying again
You’re defeated , You’re defeated
But something inside you can’t deny
You hear the call of your creator
I made you for more,
Unlock the door
I want to restore your glory
So Rise,
Breaking the dark into the light
You’re made to shine
We all need hope
The world needs
We need light, we need light
You were made to shine
If —– Around you
Seen your dreams are lost,and found you
The heart that was once beating
is coming back alive, coming back alive
But something inside you can’t deny
You hear the call of your creator
I made you for more!
Unlock the door!
I want to restore your glory
So Rise
Bringing dark into the light
You were made to Rise
I’ll be the hope
Bringing the world
Bringing love
Bringing light
You were made to rise!
Shut the door on Yesterday
____________ way
You were made to rise,
You were made to shine
Creation is only for today
——-Tender place
You were made to rise
You were made to shine
Rise, breaking the dark, __ the night
You were made to shine
All we all need hope,
You were made to Rise
I’ll be the hope
For this world
You were made to rise

Looks like our tour guess is now confirmed.
Does it look like Danny is getting better billing than Unspoken?
Congratulations on the Dove Award nominations
Danny is a very busy and popular singer these days.. 🙂
Sounds like an awesome tour (Casting Crowns). Maybe I’ll be in a position to see Danny then . . .
Sounds like a good tour to mw, too. I am waiting for midwest dates 🙂
Matt on twitter: 🙂 Funny and sweet.

Hi Jan!
I transcribed the lyrics!!
(stanza 1)
There’s a brokenness inside of you
there’s a wound that still reminds you
of a fear and shame and rejection
you have seen, you have seen
(stanza 2)
you know it’s time to get up
but your heart’s paralyzed, you’re so stuck
you’re past the point of trying again
you’re defeated, you’re defeated
(chorus)
but something inside you can’t deny
you hear the call of your Creator
I made you for more, unlock the door
I wanna restore your Glory
So Rise
Breaking the dark, piercing the night
you’re made to shine
an army of hope, bringing the world a ray of light, a ray of light
you were made to Rise
Rise
(stanza 3)
Lift your head and look around you
see the dreams you lost, they have found you
and the heart that once was beating
coming back to life, coming back to life
(back to chorus)
(bridge)
shut the door on yesterday
leave what happened in the grave
you were made to rise
you were made to shine
Creation’s longing for the day
for kings and queens to take their place
you were made to rise
you were made to shine
Rise
Breaking the dark, piercing the night
Made to shine
Bring the world a ray of light
Rise
breaking the dark, piercing the night
you’re made to shine
an army of hope, bringing the world a ray of light
a ray of light
you were made to rise, Rise (repeat line to fade)
I am loving this song already. it’s a great anthem and I can almost see of an army of fans holding signs with Rise written on to hold up during the chorus. This is a song that begs for a live video recording just for that. I can’t wait to hear it live in a couple of weeks.
Thanks, Lori! It is a lot easier with the actual song recording, isn’t it. I see a couple of little words I’d change, but this is a BIG help!!
I think #BetterThanIFoundIt has to be a live recording of the song with ALL those people on their feet, swaying and holding the lights of their phones in the air…
I think Danny needs to go down tha live recording route!!
Yes. Bigger close-up photo, bigger font, better placement.
Not that we notice those things of course 😉
And they don’t see all that far apart CCM-wise, although I’d expect Danny with his AI and country exposure has much more name recognition fwiw.
I made some VERY minor tweaks to Lori’s transcription of the lyrics of RISE and gave it its very own post 🙂

Based on the current tour’s poster, Danny is getting second billing.
iTunes:
TYHTBA: #9 (single)
Rise: #23 (single)
Video: #1 (TYHTBA)
HIFOM: #21 (album)
Spanish album: #44
Rise is up to #13.
Maybe the reason the TYHTBA video zoomed back to #1 is because of the Dove video nomination?
That makes sense, Lurker 🙂
Rise: #12
Rise: #11
Rise: #8
Hi, Lori! *waving* Thanks for the lyrics and for stopping by.
Very nice!
Rise: #6
Fun to have a new song to watch, good updates Lurker.

And this is fun with Danny’s Chuck Berry imitation before the more serious discussion of the thought behind #Rise
I loved the Chuck Berry imitation. And I’ve been to Noah’s Ark in The WI Dells 😉
Equal time for Air1. Rahny Taylor was one of the Milwaukee DJs that worked at KISS FM during Danny’s Idol run. They were so supportive!
