If you did not get the CD/DVD version you missed out; in the DVD Josh tells all about the hows and why of making this CD. As we already know hes not just a fab singer he is also a musician. He says he wanted to take his voice where it has never gone before, as he proved it in this CD.
Some of the songs are not of his style we all know and love, but that's what makes this CD so special. He intented this to be a mostly English CD,so thats why all the English songs.
I took some notes while I was watching the DVD,yes I took notes.... anyway for you that only bought the CD version I'll partly tell some highlights. He said thing like "Every songs a journey" and every song is for a reason why they were picked. He mentioned, at first he wasn't even sure if there was going to be a 3rd album, and if it worked, it worked, if it didn't, it didn't. Gratifying but it worked. This CD is true to his soul and that he's being him,"very me"
This CD took over a year to make. And if you truly are his fan you should apreaciate all the time and effort he and others put into this CD. "True to his soul"
The songs MAI and UN DIA LLEREGRA were 2 of examples of JG style we all know and love. And to follow was L'ULTIMA NOTTE, SOLO POR TI and VERITA. All great JG classic style. I really liked the Italian version of the song from Romeo and Juliet,(A TIME FOR US)UN GIORNO PER NOI.
SO SHE DANCES, I thought it was just a beautiful song, the blowing wind fit well, not to mention the airy ending, great song!
IN HER EYES...Josh was playing the drums here, and David Foster was at the keyboards, a very nice song.
NOW OR NEVER, a song about a love gone wrong, I liked this too.
LULLABY and WEEPING...Josh is very involved in the AIDS problem there in Africa,so he was inspired by this to make these songs. With the help of an South African band of singers these songs were made possible. LULLABY was nice but I liked WEEPING better.
Okay, MACHINE! Herby Handcock and JG collaborated on this song.He JG called this the highlight of the album. I LIKED this song! It was very different sound for Josh, defanitly not his typical sound, very Jazzy!Josh stylin' You go Josh!!
He has some comments about the song AWAKE...it described how he felt making this album. I think he was concerned how his fans would percieve or even accept this album. He said he took a risk doing this album. He want his present fans to enjoy this and make new fans, as he was very excited and very proud of this album.
Well I'm glad I spent the extra bucks to buy this CD/DVD, it was worth it.
No matter I will be getting his past concerts DVD/CD eventhough I have the songs on other CDs. He's worth spending money on. Don't forget Amazon has terrific prices, so I can splerge.

AWAKE CD & AWAKE SPECIAL EDITION (CD DVD) BY JOSH GROBAN
Having purchased this record nine years ago before becoming an Amazon customer, I'm glad that I bought it again as an additional to my Josh Groban record collection. Having said that, I have enjoyed listening to this wonderful album over and over again and thus becoming one of my favorite Josh Groban records.Songs and my Ratings:1. MAI -9.7/10 (an exuberant opening song with a nice falsetto. )2. YOU ARE LOVED (DON'T GIVE UP) - 9.8/10 (inspiring and uplifting-Hope is in my mind when listening to this song.)3. UN DIA LLEGARA -10/10 (I just love the accompanying guitar of this great Spanish song as well as Josh's soaring vocals.)4. FEBRUARY SONG - 10/10 (No wonder, this is one of my favorite songs from the album with Josh playing the piano while singing the song).5. L'ULTIMA NOTTE - 10/10 ( Indeed, one of the best foreign language songs to listen to. Pleasantly beautiful song).6. SO SHE DANCES - 9.6/10 (Listen to this beautiful ballad and you'll imagine yourself dancing in a waltz. Nice one.)7. IN HER EYES - 10/10 ( I love listening to this pop song especially on Josh's superb voice and he's playing the drums here- excellent! )8. SOLO POR TI - 10/10 (I love the guitar accompaniment of the song and Josh's interpretation and vocals too.)9. NOW OR NEVER - 9.7/10 ( A nice song co written by Josh. )10. UN GIORNO PER NOI - 10/10 ( A classic song from the movie Romeo and Juliet. Josh delivers an excellent interpretation of the song.)11. LULLABY - 9.8/10 (A great song with a piano accompaniment by Josh.)12. WEEPING - 9.8/10 ( This is a nice song with Josh collaborating Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Vusi Mahlasela. The song notes about the end of apartheid in South Africa and therefore is of importance to it's people.)13. MACHINE- 10/10 - ( Josh Groban's collaboration with the jazz recording artist Herbie Hancock is what makes the sound different from the other songs in the album. The sound is in a groovy and funky style thus the music here is unique as compared to his first two records.)From AWAKE SPECIAL EDITION (CD/DVD)14. VERITA - 9.8/10 - ( This is a nice Italian song which simply describes Josh unique musicianship aside from the fact that his singing interpretations on foreign language songs are exceptionally pleasant to listening ears. Everytime I hear him sang in foreign language, it makes me think sometimes that he's far more better singing those languages than his own English songs are.15. AWAKE - 10/10 - (The album track title is actually one of my favorite songs from the album itself where Josh plays the piano himself. A great and touching track that reminds me of last line of the song "Remember all the love we shared today").OVERALL RATING: 9.88/10ALBUM COVER: 9.8/10THANK YOU AMAZON!
