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.
Magic
Andy Davis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I look funny with a cane
Eleven times out of ten
I slim dancing in the rain
Yes I do, yeah
Even though my Sinatra isn't quite
Up to par, I'll try to woe you
Like a movie in black and white
We should be in love
It could magic, it could be all this and more
And we should be in love, would you think about it
Girl think about it
And if I hear the news that some other dog's sniffin around
I might rattle the screws and personally show him to the
Pound, yes I would, yeah
When it gets down to it
I hear background music when I see you
Open up for a minute, girl
Try to see things from my view
We should be in love
It could magic, it could be all this and more
And we should be in love, would you think about it, girl think about it
And I'm no Casanova, but I'm an honest man
And honestly, if you asked me
We should be in love
It could be magic, it could be all this and more
We should be in love, would
You think about it, girl think about it
The song "Magic" by Andy Davis is about a man who may not have all of the conventional attributes that society deems attractive but he has a strong desire to woo a woman and make her fall in love with him. He admits to not having a hat with a brim or a cane but he has come equipped with his charming personality and he is willing to serenade her like the old-fashioned movie stars did. He acknowledges that he might not have the voice of Frank Sinatra or the dance moves of Gene Kelly, but still, he will try to win her heart by singing to her. The song conveys a message that even ordinary people can make extraordinary things happen, and love can be magical despite a lack of conventional glamour.
The lyrics highlight the idea that the key to love lies in mutual attraction and how one perceives oneself. The man in the song is confident in his own abilities and understands that he is not perfect. He is trying to persuade the woman to give him a chance and consider falling in love with him. The lyrics convey that love is not about physical appearance but a connection that two people share in each other's company, which ultimately gives birth to magic.
