second track in this thread to be posted from Driving Rain.
as previously stated its an album of songs professing love for new partner Heather and also others
describing his loss of Linda.
i call Flaming Pie and this one his "ditch duo" albums as they deal with the death and loss of Linda for the most part.
this track, Magic, is for Linda, it was apparently written as he held her hand whilst awaiting for the euthanasia doctor to arrive.
so he wrote the lyrics and sung it to her before they turned out the lights as mentioned in the song.
it conveys eternal love and immeasurable loss and his vocals are so full of sadness.
now ive never suffered loss of someone that close thankfully, well except for a couple of pet cats and a dog, but this song
says it all.
it is totally worth a mention in the thread because this is a side of McCartney seldom heard.
damn fan-made video of Paul and Linda just bought a bloody tear to my eye...i hate feelings!
There must have been magic
The night that we met
If I hadn't stopped you
I`d always regret.
A few minutes later
You`d have been out that door
And I`d have been lonely
Forever more
Forever more.
Oh what made us do it?
Under what holy spell?
Nature`s mother knew it
Only too well.
She reached out her fingers
To point at the sky
Leaving me helpless
Not knowing why.
And this is the hour
That they turn out the light
Nothing but memories
Burning so bright
Burning so bright.
Oh what made us do it?
Under what holy spell?
Nature`s mother knew it
Only too well.
There must have been magic
The night that we met
If I hadn't stopped you
I`d always regret
I'd always regret.
There must have been magic
There must have been magic
There must have been magic
The night that we met
