David SweetLow brings together a gentle folk sound and a well-traveled perspective in his music. There’s an immediate delicate warmth to the songs as they start to play, the acoustic guitar picking and SweetLow’s near-whispered, smooth and heartfelt vocals walk hand-in-hand as the songs pour through. It’s an easy kind of ambiance to embrace and be simultaneously embraced by. 

His lyrics paint an appealing picture of gratitude and a simple appreciation for life and the world. There’s a poetic aura to many of the songs, as well as, in equal parts, personal intimacy, so his songs feel both accessible and truthful to the artist behind them. 

The more you listen to David's lyrics and intricate melodies the more you'll learn about the artist behind them. There’s a softness to his presentation that resonates the calming energy of his music. His beautifully crafted lines and ideas, which often rise in intensity during his songs will lead you to a deeper connection. Some of his vocal and production work are quite stunning actually, simple but effective in bringing through the central idea in a manner that’s likely to keep his audience sharing in his deep sentiment right there in the moment.

I JUST LOSE MY HEAD

My latest single,

“I Just Lose My Head” is a song about the feeling of hopelessness and confusion in the world around us today, some of us choose to stay in our own ghetto to escape. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by it all. But despite this, believe that love and beauty still exist, hold on to hope and let’s try to make things better!Add text

No Tears In The River

"No Tears in the River" is a powerful ballad about the struggles of dealing with a toxic relationship. The lyrics detail observations of the other person's behaviour, including their tendency to hurt others and themselves, and their inability to let go of past mistakes. The repeated refrain of "there's no tears in this river's run dry" serves as a metaphor for the emotional distance and detachment that has grown between the two people. The lyrics define the ultimate choice to move on and find strength in being alone, rather than continuing to be dragged down by the toxic relationship. This song is a strong statement of self-empowerment, and a call to anyone who is struggling in a similar situation.

Three original band members from the late 70s power pop scene, David Cook, Phil Chambon, and Russ Strothard, have been back in the studio after an 11-year hiatus. The talented trio, who previously rocked the stage as part of the sensational group "Tonight" with hits like "Drummer Man" and "Money That's Your Problem," have reunited to perform a stirring new song called "No Tears in the River," written and sung by David SweetLow.

This musical reunion is a landmark as it marks the first time in over a decade that Cook, Chambon, and Strothard have played together. The three groundbreaking musicians in their time are undoubtedly eager to rekindle their magical chemistry that sent a few shockwaves through the industry back in the day.

It's an emotive moment for the trio, and a chance to reconnect through this new song. Let's wish them a triumphant return with “No Tears In The River,” once again showcasing their undeniable talent.

Los Tres Peces De Mi Padre

"Los Tres Peces De Mi Padre” es una canción que he compuesto sobre una historia que llegué a conocer a través de una amiga mía Española. Me contó que una amiga suya tenía una historia muy bonita sobre tres peces. Los dibujaba su padre, que era albañil, en el cemento fresco al acabar sus obras por “Alcampell” un pequeño pueblo de la provincia de Huesca en el norte de España. A lo largo de los años se hicieron famosos sus peces que dejaba por las casas y rincones de su pueblo. Eran conocidos como la marca de Rafael el albañil.

Después de su muerte su hija quiso hacerle un homenaje y pidió a través de las redes sociales a todo el mundo que dibujasen los tres peces como lo hacía su padre. Al final esa idea creció hasta el punto que ahora le llegan dibujos de los tres peces de estilos muy variados de todo el mundo, incluso desde Japón. Hizo su hija una exposición de todos los dibujos recibidos en su pueblo, Alcampell, y próximamente hará otra en Zaragoza, España, donde reside, y no deja de recibir peces. Rafael dejó su marca de los tres peces en sus obras como si se tratara de una firma de artista y sin saberlo ha dejado un buen recuerdo para siempre. Esto ha sido como un sueño que él nunca hubiese podido llegar a imaginar.
