1) A southern boy at heart, Andy Davis works with what he knows best: charm. Quirky, clever, talented and tender, Andy writes music to make you look for a soft hand to hold. With a movie-maker's eye for storytelling, he shows that every glimpse in life tells a story and that every saga must be distilled into vignettes. Andy is a rare talent: an unplugged Whiskeytown-era Ryan Adams crossed with a latter-day Billy Joel, without the self-destructive tendencies of either. Surprisingly soulful for a young man whose peers spend more time cruising than crooning, Andy Davis writes songs that make us remember things too important to have forgotten: incomprehensible faith, the torture of deep emotion, and belief in boundless possibilities. Everyone rushes past these quiet monoliths on our way through young adulthood, and Andy's music makes us want to go back and find them. His songs make you remember your firsts: first kiss, first love, first date, first heartbreak. It's the accessibility of Andy's agony and ecstasy that makes you feel what it's like to be a poet. Life becomes less complicated when we grasp the essence of true living. The music of Andy Davis beckons like a whisper through the cacophony of smooth snake oil vendors. It's uncorrupted rawness, genuine and unpretentious -- authenticity unencumbered by fake industry.
Born in Louisiana and later migrating with his family to the southeast, Andy grew up listening to oldies and gospel music before moving to Nashville for college. With musical influences from David Wilcox to Stevie Wonder to Radiohead to Rufus Wainwright, it's no surprise that Andy writes like a poet, plays a slew of instruments (from drum kit to trumpet), and rocks out on stage. Runway Network is currently promoting Andy's independent album titled, "Thinks of Her."
2) Andy Davis (born Andrew Cresswell-Davis 10 August 1949) is a music producer, member of Stackridge , former member of The Korgis. Stackridge are a West Country based group who were at the height of their success, such as it was, during the 1970s but are reformed and still playing today. Davis, who lives in Bath, was also in The Korgis - a British pop band, originally composed of singer / bassist James Warren (born 25 August 1951, Bristol) and singer / drummer Davis, along with unofficial members guitarist Stuart Gordon and keyboardist Phil Harrison. Davis has also played with Goldfrapp. He played acoustic guitar and sang backing vocals on John Lennon's Imagine album.
Believable Doubt
Andy Davis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
did it for love or something like that
i don't know who to believe
in so many words you try to explain
how many times can the story get changed
i don't know who to believe
and what's between us just won't add up
oooh, give me some believable doubt
why should i believe in you now
from what i see
you.....call yourself an innocent man
tell me bout the blood on your hands
i wanna hear, wanna hear the truth from you
the devil's talking to me as you fall on your face
angel beside me saying i should be taking your place
i don't know who to believe
there's a criminal part to everyone's heart
outside's clean and the inside's falling apart
i don't know who to believe
walk away you're free to go home
walk away now
The song "Believable Doubt" by Andy Davis depicts a situation where the singer is torn between two perspectives of a conflicting story. The lyrics suggest that someone is trying to hide something and the singer cannot seem to get a clear answer from them. They have various explanations, but the story keeps changing, leaving the singer in doubt about who to believe.
The line "breaking your back to cover your tracks, did it for love or something like that" implies that the person in question may have done something wrong but did it for a good reason. However, their actions have caused suspicion, and the singer cannot determine whether they are telling the truth or not. The chorus of the song implies that the singer is looking for some sense of clarity and wants to know the truth, even if it's not what they want to hear.
The second verse suggests that the singer has different voices in their head, one telling them to forgive the person, and the other telling them to be their own person and not be manipulated by the situation. They cannot seem to make sense of the situation and are left to decide whether to believe the person or walk away from the situation entirely.
Overall, this song has a relatable message about the difficult decisions that come with conflicting stories and situations. The lyrics allow the listener to interpret the meaning in their own way and may resonate differently with each individual.
