2) Andy Davis, music producer, member of Stackridge , former member of The Korgis, who also played acoustic guitar and sang backing vocals on John Lennon's Imagine album.
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.
It Just Happened That Way
Andy Davis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel the needles in my feet
And my legs are still asleep
But it's the morning
Fold the blankets
Shake the grass out of the sheets
Throw it all in my back seat
Yeah knowing me and knowing you
The stars could not have had a clue
We never meant to start this thing between us
It just happened that way
Ya know sometimes it does
Sometimes the planets align
And you both lose time
Can't change your mind
It just happned that way
No time to invest
Ya just pray for the best
And you say
It just happened that way
Just happened that way
By tomorrow
We may be the talk of town
Yeah word will get around
That we're together
Oh but the thing is, girl
They will never understand
It was just an accident
That kinda worked out
Yeah knowing me and knowing you
I think we can both agree
We never meant to start this thing between us
It just happened that way
Ya know sometimes it does
Sometimes the planets align
And you both lose time
Can't change your mind
It just happned that way
Mo time to invest
Just pray for the best
And you say
Oh love
We could run yeah, we could run away
Thinking it over
We could run yeah, we should run away
Would you come with me
We could run yeah, we should run away
Thinking it over
I'm smiling
Cause I know that they will see
Our straight and narrow ways just took a turn
We'll take a highway without ever looking back
And in ten years we can laugh at how we got there
Yeah knowing me and knowing you
The stars could not have had a clue
We never meant to start this thing between us
It just happened that way
Ya know sometimes it does
Sometimes the planets align
And you both lose time
Can't change your mind
It just happened that way
No time to invest
Just pray for the best
Oh and I know it's a mess
We'll pray for the best
We'll say
It just happened that way
Just happened that way
