"Magic" is one of the most personal songs I’ve written. It reflects on how beautiful the relationship had been, even though I could feel it falling apart in real time. When me and my ex met, we said that even though heartbreak can be painful, falling in love with each other felt so powerful that it was worth the risk. "Magic" really captures the heart of the unravelling. Mads Colvin directed the film clip - we went for a hike and sat in a forest and reflected on the last couple of years. It felt nice to be surrounded by a couple friends in the creative/healing process.
lyrics
Didn’t want to mess you up
I guess we fell in love
Even though we both know that breakups really suck
You took me to the snow
Barrelled down the slopes
Delicately hesitant until we let go
Pulls me flying backwards
Hits me like some magic
There’s something about your love
Wish that it was enough
Nothing really helped
Perpetually, indefinitely circling what’s left
Tell me what you need
You tell me how it seems
Eloquently, evidently drift apart from me
Pulls me flying backwards
Hits me like some magic
There’s something about your love
Felt like we were magnets
Til we weren’t oh it was tragic
There’s something about your love
Cloudy mountain tops,
You’re quiet on the walk
Used to talk in double time
When did that all stop?
It’s light at 5am, out on the couch again
Quietly questioning if this is how it ends
Pulls me flying backwards
Hits me like some magic
There’s something about your love
Felt like we were magnets
Til we weren’t oh it was tragic
There’s something about your love
Voice that pierces and soothes like a butter thorn. Music slowly gliding over moonlit grass. Lyrics that depict and dissect a soul in such an intimate way that her soul becomes yours as yours becomes hers. muschiosauro
