Witches, Wizards, and Spells: The Allure of Magic

By admin

The magical world is a concept that has captured the imagination of humanity for centuries. It is a realm filled with wonder, enchantment, and extraordinary beings. In literature, movies, and folklore, the magical world is often portrayed as a parallel dimension that exists alongside our own. In the magical world, anything is possible. Ordinary objects can come to life, animals can talk, and spells can be cast with the flick of a wand. It is a place where dreams become reality and the laws of nature are suspended.


Bob Marley's backup singers, The I Threes, claim they are the "Three Little Birds" in his famous song.

At the time the song was at position 17 on Billboard s Hot R B Singles chart, three weeks earlier it had peaked at 10 and it spent seventeen weeks on the chart. If his wife had heard Make It With You , she would have had tears of joy spilling down her cheeks and would have been kissing her husband all over his face.

Ralfi Pagan only one whisper of your love

It is a place where dreams become reality and the laws of nature are suspended. One of the most iconic representations of the magical world is found in J.K.

Ralfi Pagan only one whisper of your love

Hey, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But, baby, here goes

Dreams, they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wondering what this song is leading to

I wanna make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl

No, you don't know me well
And every little thing, only time will tell
If you believe the things that I do
And we'll see it through

Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through

I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl

Baby, you know that dreams they're for those who sleep
Life, it's for us to keep
And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through

I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl Writer/s: David Gates

  • Anon I sometimes heard this on K-Earth 101 back when I was younger as well as Baby I'm-a Want You and Guitar Man. Mr. Gates' voice was so dulcet and sweet that the song could have been made for his adoring wife. The non-ironic and non-heartbreaking use of "baby", "babe" and "girl" send a sweet message to the intended woman that the song is for. If his wife had heard "Make It With You", she would have had tears of joy spilling down her cheeks and would have been kissing her husband all over his face.

  • Eric from Point Place, Wisconsin (green Bay Suburb) This song was played when Eric and Donna at the end of the "Van Stock" episode of "That '70's Show"
  • Joel from Kenosha, Wi Hate to admit this, I've been saying that a lot for some reason, but I like this song. I never really listened to A.M. radio that much but now I tend to listen to it a lot especially when I'm alone in the car or spending some quality romantic time with my girlfriend. Guess I'm kinda stuck in the seventies.
  • Guy from Woodinville, Wa Just classic sweet soft rock as only Bread could deliver. I would like to hear the Earth Wind & Fire cover. I'm going to see them in concert tnight--it would be cool if they performed it, but they never have yet.
  • Les from Joplin, Mo The odd lyrics, "Hey have you ever tried really reaching out for the other side. " kinda seems to imply the gay thing.
  • Joe from Laredo, Tx This was the first Bread song I had ever heard. I just fell so in love with this song. Especially the guitar intro followed by the bass. The album cover to "On the Waters" was great photography. The flip side to that 45 was "Why do you keep me waiting". I thought that was a pretty good song too. This album is really a signature album of the (early) seventies with maybe a pinch of late 60's. I have heard the song "I AM that I AM" from the same album on christian radio. That surprised me.
  • Dave from Cardiff, Wales Great song - one for speeding down the highway with all the windows down at full blast on a midsummer's day!
  • Kerry G. from Detroit Rock City, Mi This and "Baby I'm A Want You" are THEE best love songs ever made.

Reviews for "Unbelievable Feats and Illusions: The Magic of David Copperfield"

1. Jennifer - 2/5 stars - "I was really disappointed with 'The Magic World'. The plot was uninteresting and predictable, and the characters felt flat and one-dimensional. I couldn't connect with any of them and found myself not caring about their fates. The writing style was also quite lackluster, with overused cliches and shallow descriptions. Overall, this book just didn't work for me and I wouldn't recommend it."
2. Mark - 1/5 stars - "I found 'The Magic World' to be completely boring and a waste of time. The story dragged on with no sense of direction or purpose. The author seemed more focused on trying to create a magical world without delving into any depth or substance. The characters were forgettable and lacked any semblance of development. I struggled to finish this book and felt no satisfaction or engagement throughout the entire read."
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - "I had high hopes for 'The Magic World' as a fan of fantasy novels, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The world-building was lacking, and it felt like the author didn't fully explore or explain the magical elements present in the story. The pacing was inconsistent, with long periods of slow development and sudden rushed action scenes that felt disjointed. The dialogue also felt stilted and unnatural, making it difficult for me to become invested in the story. Overall, I found this book to be underwhelming and lacking the magic it promised."
4. Robert - 2/5 stars - "Having heard positive reviews about 'The Magic World', I was hopeful for an enchanting and immersive reading experience. However, I was left disappointed. The plot lacked depth and originality, echoing similar themes and tropes found in other fantasy novels. The characters were stereotypical and lacked complexity, leaving me uninterested in their struggles and ultimate triumphs. Despite the occasional moments of creativity, the overall execution fell flat for me. I would not recommend 'The Magic World' to fans seeking a truly magical and captivating read."
5. Sarah - 3/5 stars - "While 'The Magic World' had some intriguing aspects, I found myself mostly unimpressed. The concept of the magical world was interesting, but the execution felt weak and unoriginal. The characters were decently developed, but I couldn't fully invest in their stories due to the lackluster plot. The pacing was inconsistent, with moments of excitement followed by long periods of stagnation. Overall, 'The Magic World' had potential, but it didn't live up to my expectations as a fantasy reader."
