Live Solo Performance of a Singer playing a Guitar to woo his true-love.

A nature love song dedicated to cultural and biological diversity, 
where all life shares the same oceans.

A love song for young lovers, and children of all ages, 
Snorkeler’s theme song nonpareil, and tropical travel brochure diddy. 

Catchy, colorful, bouncy, upbeat ballad written in a Hawai'iana Style 
About falling in love while having fun snorkeling in the water with family, friends, and new really special friends.

A celebration of loving life down at the beach in an ode to family life at its best.

Lyrics:

Hey little fishy, pretty little fishy, swimming in the sea. 
Hey little fishy, pretty little fish, won’t you swim with me? 
I know there’s a lot of fishes in the ocean, 
When you're next to me, you know, I feel a deep emotion. 

Would you shine your scales, and flash your fin, would you blow me little bubbles?
We’ll never have no troubles, or worries, or no care.

'Cause life on the coral reefy is pleasant and so sweet, 
All the colors of the rainbow gather there to meet,
The greens gaily greeting, yellows flashing flaming,
Aquamarine above me, indigo deep beneath me.

Won’t you sail far away, on a coral reefy day, 
life here is pleasant, and it's oh so sweet,
As we spin around the blazing sun, and night turns into day.
We’ll go swimming in the coral reefy where the fish like to play. 

Hey little fishy, pretty little fish, swimming in the kai.
Hey little fishy, pretty little fish, won’t you swim with I? 
Mauka, on the aina my ohana, they're fine-a.
I’m loving life with you, swimming in the deep clear blue.

Would you sail far away, on a coral reefy day, 
life here is pleasant and its oh so sweet,
We spin around the blazing sun, and night turns into day.
We go swimming in the coral reefy, where the fish like to play. 





Coral Reefy Song on Guitar (Solo)

Arthur Davenport's musical career spans 50 years of songwriting and performance.  

His style is diverse Americana and ranges from traditional folk through world, alt-county, rock, emo, inspirational and reggae.  

He first started playing in the Washington D.C. folk scene in the 1980's and then moved on to the southwest scene during the 90's while living in New Mexico.

Arthur has been featured on National Public Radio performing his song, "Lonesome Cowboy," specially written for a cowboy music compilation album entitled "'Round-em Up!" 

Arthur now lives in Hawai'i, working on publishing his body of works, and hoping for an upcoming tour.

His third album "Jonathan Leviathan" was released on November 22, 2020

This review for his first album, "Reality Bends", provides a fitting description of his solo performance style: "Using only an acoustic guitar as backup, Arthur Davenport crafts sparse, haunting folk songs with a wry sense of the absurd. Deftly hopping from one vocal personality to another, sometimes within a line, this far-out mountain man keeps the listener guessing." Mike McGuire, Listen.com

Arthur released a second album in May of 2010 - "Whispering to the Wind", a collection of 10 original Americana songs and ballads supported with a full band.

Work in now in progress for two new albums: "Retro Spectro" and "Stay Tuned".
