Magic Lyrics
I knew you'd be gone as soon as you could
And I hoped you would
We could see that you weren't yourself
And the lines on your face did tell
It's just as well
You'd never be yourself again
Dance by the light of the moon
Stars in your eyes
Free from the life that you knew
You're the breath that blows these cool winds 'round
Trading places with an angel now
Saw you last night
Dance by the light of the moon
Stars in your eyes
Free from the life that you knew
Saw you last night
Stars in the sky
Smiled in my room
I love this song. It gives me goosebumps and a healthy healing cry over my mom who passed July 29 2012 from Alzheimer's...... I listen to it every year on the anniversary of her death. She's my angel . Thank Bennie❤️
This song was actually written by Darren Jessee (the bass guitarist, I do believe). And it's supposedly a "love song to someone who has died." That's what Todd Lowry says anyway, in the introduction to the song in the BF5 music book/score.
does anyone else get the kind of hint of Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" during all of those "Sha la la's"? and then the first verse "from the back of your big brown eyes"? I don't know; it just sounded kind of similar to me.

Well, i never thought it was a song about suicide. Whenever i hear this song i think of someone sitting in a chair in the hospital saying this to someone they love who's dying. He can see that the person is fading, and he's glad , cuz he know that he/she will never be the same again. But at the same time he's remembering all the times that person was happy, before they got sick.

It's a sad yet very beautiful song.
This song is sorrowfully (is that a word?) beautiful.. The music is absolutely gorgeous. I've had it on repeat all day yesterday and today.
It doesn't seem like another typical BF5 song though.. It's got tambourines and cello and an organ.. hmmm
this is the cutest song i cry every time i hear it because in a sence its really sad
i think it's about suicide, or at least that's what was drilled into my head,
when i first heard the song, i thought it was about this all time perfect girl (thus the angel reference) rejecting a boy, and he knew it was coming and it just hurt, ouch!
i like the BFF with cello and stuff, it's pretty, there was that kind of music in WEAEA in evaporated and stuff..
i think this song is about a girl he knew who committed suicide, which came as a surprise because she always seemed to make herself happy, but it became too much for her to bear
I love this song. Almost every time I make a tape for myself or anyone else, it goes on it. I always try to evoke feelings through mix tapes and this one can often sum up exactly how I feel. There does seem to be a hint of Van Morrison in there somewhere. Maybe that's why I came to be such a big Van fan over the last couple of years.
Lol i'unno.. in a simpler way i think its about losing a loved one. Then again, i'm horrible at analyzing lyrics.. squish.
