Tale of the Tune: Taylor Davis

taylor.jpg

Artist: Dallas singer-songwriter Taylor Davis

Song: "Is It OK"

The inspiration: Says 25-year-old Davis, "It's about a 39-year-old lady that I am completely in love with. I wrote the song a few years ago after meeting her through a friend. ... The song is kind of about how she is way cooler than me, and I would keep it secret if she ever wanted to be my older lady, I guess."

The result: "Is It OK" is a toe-tappin', piano pop tune, accented by hand claps and tinkly bells. Davis' sweet-but-not-too-sweet vocals perfectly match the boy-meets-cougar theme of the song. The most tragic lyric: "I'm getting older every day/The calendar can't prove what I've seen."

In their own words: "As you can imagine, it didnt really work out. And I even made her cupcakes on Valentine's Day and left them on her doorstep. Oh well!"

See him live: Tomorrow night at the Cavern.
