Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll...
The lyrics of this song suggest that music can free the souls of people who really listen to it. I love this song because although it has a cheerful back beat the lyrics speak out to every music lover all around the world. It is easy to relate to and must have been a party pleaser back in the day,
The A,A, B,B, C,C, D,D rhyme scheme is a common pattern that I tended to notice in many old school songs. If music were going mainstream back in the day it probably would've fit the same criteria. Its short and to the point. I love what the lyrics are suggesting though. Through listening to the above stanza I am visualizing a young girl in a dress jumping up and down to the beat of the music, completely free and liberated from every care in the world.
The flow of the song is very repetitive which is good for memory and impact however not original at all. The instruments used to play the back beats were and are extremely common in music and the lyrics fall slave to the beat, they do not over power. If you mute the music and allow just the lyrics the impact isn't nearly as great.
