ATF: Magical Mysteries

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Magic Power
Triumph
Something's at the edge of your mind
You don't know what it is
Something you were hopin' to find
But you’re not sure what it is
Then you hear the music
And it all comes crystal clear
The music does the talkin'
Says the things you want to hear

I'm young
I'm wild
And I'm free
I’ve got the magic power
Of the music in me
I'm young
I'm wild
And I'm free
I’ve got the magic power
Of the music
In me

She climbs into bed
She pulls the covers overhead
And she turns her little radio on
Had a rotten day
So she hopes the DJ's gonna play
Her favorite song
It makes her feel much better
Brings her closer to her dreams
A little magic power
Makes it better than it seems

She's young now
She's wild now
She wants to be free
She gets the magic power
Of the music in me
She's young now
She's wild now
She wants to be free
She gets the magic power
Of the music
From me

If you're thinkin' it over
But you just can't sort it out
Do you want someone to tell you
What they think it's all about
Are you the one and only
Who's sad and lonely
You’re reachin' for the top
Well the music keeps you goin'
And it's never gonna stop
It’s never gonna stop
It’s never gonna
Never gonna
Never gonna
Never gonna stop

The world is full of compromise
The infinite red tape
But the music's got the magic
It's your one chance for escape
So turn me on
Turn me up
It's your turn to dream
A little magic power makes it
Better than it seems

I'm young now
I'm wild now
I want to be free
I’ve got the magic power
Of the music in me
I'm young now
I'm wild
And I'm free
I’ve got the magic power
Of the music
I’ve got the music
For me

I’ve got the power
I’ve got the power
She’s got the power
She’s got the power
You’ve got the power
You’ve got the power
You’ve got the power
You’ve got the power

Magic Man
Heart
Cold late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
I never seen eyes so blue
You know I could not run away it seemed
We'd seen each other in a dream
Seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me
Yeah

Come on home girl
He said with a smile
You don't have to love me yet
Let's get high awhile
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try
To understand
I'm a magic man

Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
Never think of never
Let this spell last forever
Well summer lovin’ passed to fall
Tried to realize it all
Mama says she's worried
Growing up in a hurry
Yeah

Come on home girl
Mama cried on the phone
Too soon to lose my baby yet
My girl should be at home
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try
To understand
He's a magic man Mama
Ah
He's a magic man

Come on home girl
He said with a smile
I’ve cast my spell of love on you
A woman from a child
But try to understand
Try to understand
Oh
Oh
Try
Try to understand
Try try try
To understand
He's a magic man
Oh
Yeah
He's got the magic hands

Come on home girl
He said with a smile
You don't have to love me yet
Let's get high awhile
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try try try
To understand
He's a magic man
Yeah
Oh oh

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Shadow!!! I figured that you would be a big fan of Heart lyrics--especially during their beginning Dreamboat Annie days.

  3. My wife used to play Magic Man all too frequently. I like to pretend I was the man with magic hands in the song, but I doubt I was.
