Magic in Pop Culture: From Harry Potter to David Blaine

By admin

"Oh oh it's magic" Magic, the word itself carries an air of mystery and wonder. It has captivated human imagination for centuries, both in folklores and in reality. The concept of magic has evolved throughout various civilizations, but it has always revolved around the idea of manipulating supernatural forces to defy the laws of nature. Magic can be found in countless forms, be it in the enchanting tricks performed by magicians, the spells and potions of ancient witches, or the mesmerizing rituals of shamans. It often involves the use of special artifacts or incantations to tap into the unseen energy that surrounds us. However, magic is not merely a spectacle or a folklore element; it goes beyond our perception of reality.


Rufus Wainwright on "Hallelujah," his album Unfollow The Rules, and getting into his "lyric trance" on 12-hour walks.

Jeff from Boston, Ma With its simplistic lyrics and pleasant tune but hard-edged instrumentation, this song was exactly the sort of thing teenagers in the 70s would listen to in their basements while getting high to the light of a lava lamp. I love my sunny day Dream of far away Dreaming on my pillow in the morning Never been awake Never seen a day break Leaning on my pillow in the morning light.

Oh oh itd magic

However, magic is not merely a spectacle or a folklore element; it goes beyond our perception of reality. It represents the boundless potential of the human mind and spirit. It serves as a reminder that there are realms and abilities beyond our comprehension.

Oh oh itd magic

Ho, ho, ho
It's magic you know
Never believe, it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe, it's not so

Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning
Lazy day in bed
Music in my head
Crazy music playing in the morning light

I love my sunny day
Dream of far away
Dreaming on my pillow in the morning
Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning light

Ho, ho, ho
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe, it's not so Writer/s: David Paton, William Lyall

  • Randy from Hampton, Va Oh oh oh Ozempic. Why are all the advertisers using 70s music these days?
  • Anonymous How much is pilot getting paid for the use of the magic melody in ozempic commercials?
  • Smitty from Earth One small correction: David Paton didn't play guitar on this song. Ian Bairnson did.
  • Steve from Arizona Steve
    The writer David Paton never got up early. He would stay awake at night playing and writing music, then sleeping late in the mornings. One day, he had to go somewhere early and told his wife to wake him. She said "you've never seen a daybreak". If you ever get up early it would be “magic”.
  • Seventhmist from 7th Heaven This song was produced by Alan Parsons, who took group members Parsons David Paton and Ian Bairnson with him when he formed The Alan Parsons Project the following year.
  • Martin from Fresno, Ca This song is sentimental to me. I remember hearing it one day on the bus in High school and I reconnected with someone from High School that rode on the bus with me that day.
  • Ellen from Chicago, Il completely forgot about this song until hearing it recently on a Chase ad, made me smile, and of course it's now been downloaded! :-)
  • Jeff from Boston, Ma With its simplistic lyrics and pleasant tune but hard-edged instrumentation, this song was exactly the sort of thing teenagers in the 70s would listen to in their basements while getting high to the light of a lava lamp. If you ever see a clip of Pilot performing this song it's clear they were no strangers to psychedelic phenomena. It's very much a period piece.
  • Claire from Miller's, Md My younger sister likes Selena Gomez's version.
  • Michelle from Grays, United Kingdom i used to live next door to ian from this band and i never knew this was one of there songs till i came on this site !! i think this song just has a happy sound to it and lets be honest in todays world thats gota be good
  • Ekristheh from Halath, United States Frank - I didn't say this sounded -like- 65 Love Affair, I said that it was "simple and clear". It's the line I'm quoting, is all. I remember this was a splash of cold lime water precisely when I needed it.
  • Frank from Granchester Meadows, Greenland Ekristheh---Magic sounds NOTHING like 65 loathe affair. what in the world are you smoking these days? c'mon, have some respect will ya?
  • Arthur from Sayville, Ny This song is awesome. I have heard it alot on the radio lately.
  • Ekristheh from Halath, United States I adore this song. It's like the rock and roll that was "simple and clear" in "65 Love Affair".
  • Pearl from Mayer, Az this song is also in the movie 'happy gillmore'
  • Joe from Chicago, Il It is amazing this one wasn't higher than #5!
  • Jennifer from Los Angeles, Ca I was a kid when this song was popular. I disliked it for years as an adult, considering it an example of seventies schlock. Oddly, I've come to really like it in recent years. What had seemed corny before now seems fun and optimistic.

Oh oh itd magic

Magic can be seen as a metaphor for the extraordinary abilities that lie dormant within each of us. It encourages us to explore our own potential, to challenge the limits of our existence, and to embrace the unknown. It allows us to break free from the chains of logic and reason, and experience the awe-inspiring beauty of the supernatural. Oh oh, it's magic! These words resonate with a sense of excitement and anticipation. They imply that something extraordinary is about to unfold. They remind us that there is still so much to discover in the world and within ourselves. In our modern world, where everything seems explainable and rational, the concept of magic provides a glimmer of hope and wonder. It reminds us that not everything can be understood or controlled, and that there is still room for mystery and enchantment. Whether it's the magic of a child's innocent imagination, the magic of love and connection, or the magic of achieving the impossible, magic continues to captivate and inspire us. So, let us embrace the magic that exists within us and around us. Let us open our minds to the infinite possibilities that lie in the realms beyond our comprehension. Oh oh, it's magic!.

Reviews for "Exploring the Magical World of Hogwarts: Oh oh itd magic"

1. Jennifer - 2 stars
I must admit, I was really excited to listen to "Oh oh it's magic" after hearing all the hype about it. However, I found the song to be extremely repetitive and lacking in substance. The lyrics were unimaginative and the melody was unoriginal. It felt like a generic pop song that has been overdone a million times before. Overall, I was disappointed and it definitely didn't live up to the expectations.
2. Michael - 1 star
I don't understand why "Oh oh it's magic" is so popular. The song is repetitive to the point where it becomes annoying. The lyrics are shallow and lack depth, and the melody is forgettable. It sounds like a basic track that was rushed to be released without much thought put into it. I can't fathom why people enjoy this song so much when there are so many other talented artists out there creating meaningful music.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I tried really hard to like "Oh oh it's magic" because it was all over the radio and everybody seemed to love it. However, the more I listened to it, the more it grated on my nerves. The chorus, in particular, is so repetitive and unimaginative. It feels like the artist just came up with the catchiest hook they could think of and relied solely on that. The lack of originality in the song is disappointing, and I personally find it hard to understand the appeal.
4. David - 1 star
"Oh oh it's magic" is a prime example of the decline of quality in the current music industry. The song seems to have been produced solely for the purpose of becoming a viral hit, without any regard for artistic integrity. The lyrics are generic and the melody is forgettable. It's a shame that this type of music is getting so much attention when there are plenty of talented artists out there who deserve recognition for their hard work and creativity.
