1. One of… Read Full Bio ↴There is at least three bands / artists called Loose Ends.
1. One of the top British dance and urban contemporary trios in the early 1980s, Loose Ends formed in London, United Kingdom. They were originally called Loose End and included Carl McIntosh, Jane Eugene and Steve Nichol. Virgin signed them in 1981, and their début was written by Chris and Eddie Amoo. The group changed its name to Loose Ends in 1983 and signed with MCA in America in 1984. Their single 'Hanging on a String (Contemplating)' topped the R&B charts in 1985, and they repeated that achievement in 1986 with 'Slow Down'. Their last hit was 'Watching You' in 1988, which reached number two. The group shuffled its line-up in 1990 for the release of the album, Look How Long, with McIntosh now joined by Linda Carriere and Sunay Suleyman. McIntosh also produced several artists, notably Caron Wheeler.
2. Formed in Bexley Heath, Kent, United Kingdom, in late 1963, Loose Ends were led by singer Alan Marshall. By the time they landed a semi-residency at the Mayfair club, The Scotch of St. James (in February 1966) the group had signed to Decca. A July 1966 début single ('Send The People Away' b/w 'I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore') while the group's soulful rendition of George Harrison's 'Taxman' curiously came out on 5 August 1966, the same day The Beatles' version came out on their 'Revolver' LP. The band fell apart in the autumn of 1966. Marshall assembled a new Loose Ends (with the aid of a Croydon band called The Subjects), while keyboardist Roy Davies and bassist Dave Collman formed a rival line-up, almost inevitably called New Loose Ends.
3. Loose Ends was an early / mid 1980s influenced hardcore punk band from central New Jersey, NJ. United States. Their first EP, 'Cut Loose', was released in 2011.
Magic Touch
Loose Ends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How I like your feel so much
Ooh, I like your magic
Just a little tragic
Ooh, I like your magic touch
Whatever you do, you're always doing it right
(I like your feel, baby)
(Don't put me down)
Although you're trying to put me down
Your disguise is not to my surprise no
Why don't you stop playing around?
You're some kind of wild guy
Ooh, I like your magic touch
How I like to feel so much
Ooh, I like your magic
Just a little tragic
Ooh, I like your magic touch (your touch, your touch, your touch)
Maybe you're thinking that I'm trying change your plans
(You're just playing macho man)
But don't get sold on the idea that I'm just a fan
(Oh, this is true, love I'm giving)
Never ever let me down
'Cause you're all I ever want around here
Your love means so much to me
A little magic is all I need
Ooh, I like your magic touch
How I like your feel so much
Ooh, I like your magic
Just a little tragic
Ooh, I like your magic touch
It seems to me
The road is hard to see
You've got nothing to prove
You've got to make that careful move, oh
I looked in your eyes (look in your eyes)
And I see many guys
What I'll know in time
Is if the magic is yours, not mine, oh
Ooh, I like your magic touch
How I like your feel so much (ooh, I like your magic touch)
Ooh, I like your magic
Just a little tragic
Ooh, I like your magic touch (touching, he's touching me baby)
Ooh, I like your magic touch (oh, come on, now) (magic touch)
How I like your feel so much (baby)
Ooh, I like your magic
Just a little tragic
Ooh, I like your magic touch
Ooh, I like your magic touch
How I like to feel so much
Ooh, I like your magic
Just a little tragic
The song "Magic Touch" by Loose Ends is a romantic tune that speaks on the power of love and the unique characteristics of one's significant other. The song starts with the chorus, where the singer admires the "magic touch" of his lover and how it feels so good. The following verse depicts a rocky relationship as there are always fights when the couple is together. Despite the arguments, the singer still finds something appealing about his partner, whether it's their rough exterior or the way they handle situations in life.
The second verse puts everything into perspective as the singer assures his partner that he is not trying to change them but rather wants them to stay true to themselves. He also emphasizes how important their love is to him, and a little bit of magic from them is all he needs to keep the spark alive. The song's bridge talks about how it's hard to see where the relationship is going but how the singer sees past all that and acknowledges that his partner has options. In the end, the singer still loves his partner and their magical touch, even if it's just a little bit tragic.
