All members of the band are originally from the Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The lead singer of MAGIC!, Nasri, had been working with and writing songs for different pop acts prior to the start of the band. He had met Mark Pelli in the studio and within a week they had written the song "Don't Judge Me" for Chris Brown. Nasri described the chemistry between himself and Pelli as "different than writing chemistry, it was more artistic." A few weeks later, while Mark played a reggae tune on the guitar, Nasri suggested to start a band like "modern-day Police. 2012
No Evil
Magic! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woke up in the morning to another perfect stranger
(Perfect stranger, perfect stranger)
Jumped into the shower to wash off the situation
(Situation, situation)
I can't tell the difference if I'm crying or it's raining
(Is it raining, crying or it's raining)
Either way I know that there is something in the changes
All I could think of is you in that sundress
And if there's a chance to be with you I promise
That I will speak no evil
And I will see no darkness
And I will only hear your voice
'Til the demons come in to infect the love
(Speak no, see no, hear no evil)
'Til the demons come in to infect the love
(Speak no, see no, hear no evil)
Can you take me somewhere where the devil cannot find us
(Cannot find us, cannot find us)
Rid me of the poison that has only paralyzed us (Paralyzed us)
I don't want to waste another moment here without love
And I hope there still is space in your heart for me
All I could think of is you in that sundress
And if there's a chance to be with you I promise
That I will speak no evil
And I will see no darkness
And I will only hear your voice
'Til the demons come in to infect the love
(Speak no, see no, hear no evil)
'Til the demons come in to infect the love
(Speak no, see no, hear no evil)
Woah, no evil
(No, no) Woah, no evil
All I could think of is you in that sundress
And if there's a chance to be with you I promise
That I will speak no evil
And I will see no darkness
And I will only hear your voice
'Til the demons come in to infect the love
(Speak no, see no, hear no evil)
'Til the demons come in to infect the love
(Speak no, see no, hear no evil)
I will put on your sundress, let me be in the sunshine
Put on that sundress and meet me in the sunlight
(Speak no, see no, hear no evil) No evil, whoa
(Speak no, see no, hear no evil)
(Speak no, see no, hear no evil)
