It's Magic
David Lindup And Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You speak and I hear violins
It's magic
(It's magic)
The stars desert the skies
And rush to nestle in your eyes
It's magic
Without a golden wand
Or mystic charms
Fantastic things begin
When I am in your arms
When we walk hand in hand
The world becomes a wonderland
Oh, it's magic
(It's magic)
How else can I explain
Those rainbows when there is no rain?
It's magic, why do I tell myself
These things that happen
Are all really true
When within my heart I know
The magic is my love for you?
Why do I tell myself
These things that happen
Are all really true
When within my heart I know
The magic is my love for you?
(The magic is my love for you)
The song "It's Magic" by David Lindup And Orchestra speaks to the magical and transformative power of love. The singer is enchanted by their lover and feels as though the world is transformed when they're together. The opening lines suggest that the simple act of their lover sighing is enough to conjure up a song, and that hearing their lover's voice is akin to hearing a beautiful symphony. The singer invokes the word "magic" repeatedly throughout the song to describe the intense emotions they feel when they're with their lover.
The song speaks to the idea that love can change everything, even the stars abandoning the sky to come and nestle in their lover's eyes. The idea of "fantastic things" happening without the use of "golden wands" or "mystic charms" suggests that what the singer feels with their lover is an inexplicable kind of magic. The line "When we walk hand in hand / The world becomes a wonderland" emphasizes the transformative power of love on the world around them. The repeated refrain of "It's magic" further emphasizes the mysterious and transcendent nature of love.
Overall, the song emphasizes the magical, almost mystical quality of love and the way it can transform everything in one's world.
