halday27 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I am curious about a song the group "Pilot" did back in the 70's titled: "Magic". The lyrics are pretty strange (to me). The song starts off with: "Oh, Ho, Ho it's magic..ya know..never believe it's not soooo...it's magic.." Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!

Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 You just want to sing along and be happy, and sometimes that is just what the doctor order...a little "Magic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halday27 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I would like to know if anyone knows the meaning behind the lyrics. I am somewhat challenged when it comes to metaphoric references and poetry. Anyway, I've loved this song since I was a little girl, and yes, you can't help but sing along. I remember I would vary between singing the chorus..and then singing along with the background of the chorus, which was just the rest of the band going: "lalalalalalalala"! Siiigh. Good times.

_Laurie_ Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Well, I would think "never believe it's not so"...would mean, you really do need to believe in magic (which leads to another song, by the way)....but it sounds to me he's just lying in bed and thinking/or dreaming good thoughts.....I guess....just one of those sing along feel good tunes...

indigoboo Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Yea, I think Laurie is right on. Sometimes songs don't really have a deep dark meaning. Sometimes they're just there to make you feel good. Seems like most of the lyrics to this are really on the surface with no hidden meanings.

MuzikTyme Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Never believe that there's no such thing as magic! Lead singer reminds me of a charged-up John Denver. Great, happy, feel-good song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halday27 Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) Actually, this is a 'reply all' kind of thing...I just wanted to thank everyone for their input on this subject. I now have another song bouncing around in my head..from childhood 'daze'. I think it's called 'my name is michael'...going to look around the fabulous SF for that one! ~ooops..just found it was actually called: "Playground in my mind" by Clint Holmes. Thanks again, all!
