Story behind the song
So much of what's going on around me I haven't got a clue about and so much of it is a kind of magic which we can easily forget. The line about picking pebbles & shells from the beach was taken from Sir Isaac Newton's description of how he saw what he was discovering. Bob Cockburn: Vocals, acoustic guitar Johnny Hinkes: Backing Vocals, electric guitar Recorded by Johnny Hinkes at Magic House Studio,May 1999
Lyrics
It's magic I push the switch and light comes on Pick up the phone and talk with you when I'm gone But I don't know how for sure It's magic I push the switch and pictures appear Shop doors open as I near But I don't know how for sure Flying up above the clouds The sea and all the earth below Looking through this lens At world's we scarcely know It's magic The computer knows I'm alive I turn the key and I can drive But I don't know how for sure It's magic The new that every season brings The new that every creature can But I don't know how for sure Flying up above the clouds The sea and all the earth below walking on the beach Picking pebbles,picking shells It's magic Watching you strut your stuff Watching me fall in love When everything seems new Touching all we do When life fits into place when love lights up your face When love lights up your face It's magic It's magic It's magic
