Magic by Alexander Rybak

“Magic” is Alexander’s tribute to life after a long battle out of drug problems. The song was written when Alexander came across a blog about a serious illness. The girl openly shared about her life, although it could be extremely difficult at times. Like many other readers, Alexander found comfort and strength in the blog, and decided to write the song as a tribute to the girl.

After the MGP victory in 2018, Alexander continues to explore dance music, inspired by his favourite Jamiroquai but also by new stars such as the Norwegian popstar Sigrid. The lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic has inspired Alexander to produce the music himself. Since March, Alexander has been sitting in his home studio from morning to night, with a desire to constantly evolve.

LYRICS
Suddenly the world plays magic.
Everywhere I turn there’s magic.
The troubles on my mind; vanished.
Cause the girl, the girl,is magic
 
The beating of my heart, it’s magic.
The seagulls on the roof scream magic.
And if you do not believe me, I’ll manage.
Cause she’s the air that I breathe,
sounds like magic to me.
 
Girl is magic,nothing but magic.
I got invited to her world of magic.
Love so foolish, used to be tragic.
But not anymore, cause the girl is magic.
The girl is simply magic.
 
Every crazy thing she said: magic.
Now she’s riding wild through my head: magic.
I bet she even waters plants with magic.
She’ll be magic to the endo days,ripped out of a fairytale.
 
Lying on the floor, sweet magic.
Nothing less, nothing more, it’s just magic.
She got me 20 horse powers of savage.
Cause the girl, the girl, the girl is magic.
 
My dancing on the street, pure magic.

Even the bruises on my feet, mmm magic!
Hey, but if you don’t believe me, I’ll manage.
Cause she’s the air that I breathe.
It sounds magic to me.
 
Girl is magic,nothing but magic.
I got invited to her world of magic.
Love so foolish, used to be tragic.
But not anymore, cause the girl is magic.
 
Girl is magic, nothing but magic.
Girl is magic, nothing but magic.
 
The beating of my heart, it’s magic.
The seagulls on the roof scream magic.
And if you do not believe me, I’ll manage.
Cause she’s the air that I breathe,and that’s magic to me.
 
Girl is magic,nothing but magic.
I got invited to her world of magic.
Love so foolish, used to be tragic.
But not anymore, cause the girl is magic.
 
Girl is magic, nothing but magic.
I got invited to her world of magic.
Love so foolish, used to be tragic.
But not anymore, cause the girl is magic.
The girl is simply magic
