Description
This is an update and re-recording of a song I posted soon after joining Macjams. It's a song I wrote and played in the 80's when I was but a child (I lie, LOL).... OK I was in my thirties (still lying). Anyway, it's a song I always liked and i thought it deserved re-visiting, as the first version was lopsided guitar-wise and also needed filling out some. I hope I've managed to put it right with this version. M

Just What Kind of Magic
Intro. Ama7/ Fma7/Ama7/ Fma7
Verse 1
Just what kind of magic did it take to bring you here?

Some sweet Angel weaved the spell and made the others cheer.

They must have heard me prayin’, or seen me shed a tear,
Cma7 G7sus4 Cma7 G7sus4
Am I only dreamin’ or are you really here?
A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7

Oh, Baby, baby, baby ,say you’ve come to stay ,
Fma7 Cma7
Tell me darlin’, tell me, that you’re here to stay .
Fma7 Cma7 G7sus4 /G7/ G7sus4 /G7
Verse 2
In my imagination, I could never imagine you,
Ama7 Fma7
You bring a good sensation, makin’ everythin’ brand new.
Ama7 Fma7
How could I ever dream that you could feel the same way too?
Cma7 G7sus4 Cma7 G7sus4
Yet here I am with you, and just to prove it’s true
A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7

Love the latin feel of this and the lyrics are great.
One thing that I think would help this song would be to lower the level of the high pitched instrument playing along with the melody line. It seemed to be distracting me away from the rest of the song, which is very good.
You might even want to try the song out without that part in the mix at all and see how it sounds. The sound is a little shrill to my ears, but then again, we all know I'm going deaf. You might also want to ignore everything I just said.
It's a lovely song Maurice and has a gentle swaying feel to it. Very nice indeed.
Be well and be coll,
Ed
