- "Magic" is a 1974 song by Scottish pop rock band Pilot, and was the first hit single for the group. It was written by band members David Paton and Billy Lyall for their debut album, From the Album of the Same Name.
Pilot were a Scottish rock group, formed in 1973 in Edinburgh by David Paton and Billy Lyall. They are best known for their songs "January", "Magic", "Just A Smile" and "Call Me Round".
Both Paton and Lyall had briefly been substitute members of the Bay City Rollers before that band's breakthrough. Joined by drummer Stuart Tosh, the band recorded several demos during 1972 and 1974. They were signed to a management contract with Nick Heath and Tim Heath, sons of British bandleader Ted Heath, and John Cavanagh. In due course they signed to a worldwide recording deal with EMI Records. After the recording of their debut album, From the Album of the Same Name, guitarist Ian Bairnson (who had played on the album as a session musician) joined the band permanently.
The 1974 single "Magic" from their first album, produced by Alan Parsons and written by Lyall and Paton, was a No. 11 UK and No. 5 US success. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in August 1975.

Released in 1974 - It's still magic in 2023 !
eh not really
Indeed.....💖💖💖
It’s now Ozempic
I know this song only thanks to my parents and it will always remind me of them many years from now. Great song, great band, very distinctive voice of David Paton. No surprise he was an Alan Parsons Project singer too!
😳
The most magical la la la song ever written.
Almost correct..The most magical song ever written.
@@mercian7 ?
There's other songs that have
la la la la la in them.
I like your funny words magic man
@@marcoantino2920 misspelled, but I know Kennedy too
It was "Magic" if you got to grow up in the 50's through the 90's with all the golden classic pop culture cars, movies, music and concerts, we were very blessed!
God,what a wonderful time to be alive! It was heaven.🎉🎉🎉🎉

Danced with a girl at a new years party to this , 46 years later were still together and it’s still magic
Great songs great days great bands i want to go back and stay there
Wow, that is such a great story!
Happy Anniversary all of these years later!😊
Congratulations :)
Amazing!💜

64year old wishing i could go back in time.
Man I'm only 31 and have the same desire
I,m 50 old. I want to go back too!
55 here. I wanna go back to the 70's & 80's.
WOAH hello grandparents! 😊 Im 15 and i heard this song like 8 years ago
I better enjoy my life im 11 rn
Who still here 2024❤🎉this a childhood song an wholesome 🎉❤
The 70's were Magic...Being young and never knowing you weren't rich but had everything..A record player, 16oz. of coke and Hershey with Almonds...The Magic is the blissfullness of Youth....
Always appreciate the simple things in life. It makes life better imo.
70s were GREAT BUT...the 80s were FANFREAKINGTASIC! I lived thru them both in my teens and 20s GREATNESS!
For me, it was Marvel comic books, 45 records, 7up, milk duds and pixey sticks and cinnamon flavored toothpicks.
If you were young in the 70’s and then lived your high school and college years in the 80’s you are blessed beyond measure. Those who did just know 💯
👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
It absolutely was the best time it was to be young!
@@sgpearlman amen!
Very true my friend 👌😀
🥰
Being young in the 70's was a true blessing
I believe ya

5XChamps2 , we were the last generation to have a wonderful childhood
I have many fond memories of my teenage years growing up at the beautiful beaches here in OC, CA
Yes it was.....Magic
Remember when pop songs could have double-necked guitars? Pop "stars" today only need a computer and choreographed dance moves and be willing to walk around in their underwear.
To be a child of the 70's. Glorious!!
It WAS magic...
Absolutely 💯 percent!
Blessed by the gods of fun.
Absolutely Awesome time as a teenager when this song came out 👍
It’s still magic in 2024!!!!❤❤
A good tune never gets old. Takes me back to my childhood.
Yessir
Me too buddy. 4 years old swinging on a swing, singing it out loud! Keep it real.
@@steven92392 o
proud to be a baby boomer🤪🤓🤪🤪🤪🤪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was 10 and it's pathetic how they ruined this song
🤦
I long for the freshness and innocence of these songs.
Me too! Life was so much simpler in the 70's.
We all do. No one likes these times, but no one does anything to change things as I do.
never again on this plain. . .
they looked stoned to me. hahaha
That love based in humility is what you’re feeling
I was a tween in the 70’s, my favourite decade. I love this song and brings back a childhood of laughter and freedom. Best song ever, brings tears of joy and remembrance to my heart. Thank you Pilot
We didn't appreciate how free we were!
@@misharyutubbeeexactly 💯 👏 🙌 👌

E de repente o tempo passou em um piscar de olhos e quando escutamos está música boas lembranças voltam com muitas saudades..
Everytime the Ozempic commercial comes on, this song is in my head & I start singing the correct lyrics...I love it!!
me too. I remember when I heard it in 1975,and now the ozempic ad has it playing on tv allot.
😂 Let Dr. Fauci have the pharma drugs, we'll take the real song.
This song and "Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO are absolute classics to lift your spirits. They never fail.
Yesss the most beautiful upbeat songs ever written and performed 🥹❤️🔥
This song does remind me of the Move to be fair. Especially in the verse.
I suspect that the people behind the movie remake of The Magic Roundabout had the same opinion!
Mr. Blue Sky!
Here come the sun también
70's BABY "you know it's magic" listening in 2021..
Absolutely!
Hi
@@oligod7494 It's magic you know :D

It's magic which I can't stop to play again and again to watch it....ooh..oo..ooo it's magic....
message for future generations never let this song to die.
My stepfather always called me Magic because of this song. He was and still is a Great Man. But is now fading away with parkinsons. I love you Dad.
Have you get the test for yourself?
@@Accept_Any_Bribe Step-father.
This song just makes me happy. It always has and still does in 2021.

Because it's "Magic".
The magic never ends love this song 🎵❤
as when it was 1st on radio (radio, imagine)
Yes 😅
1974, going to disney world with a school group, this was on the radio all day.
darkstar861 a lovely memory
the seventies pure music pure summers
Disney is a satanic business .
Great times great band great music what more could anyone wish for
In '75 you dope
RIP Ian. Playing those melodic lead guitar lines on the 12-string was inspired and highly influential. You were a gifted musician and a good man. We will always love you. Rest in power, my friend.
Also to Bill Lyal who was the keyboardist, singer and flautist that sadly died on the age of 36 on 1989 on the VIH epidemic of his time, it’s sad to see that people with potential leaves us before they do all his work, RIP Ian and Bill 😢
@@El_kirby_espannol Billy Lyall was a talented musician, but he made terrible life choices that ultimately cost him his life.
@@oprahwinfrey2967 Yeah, that’s why they recommended to put a condom on your willy before you have intimacy with each other, but at least is not like Tam Paton at least tell that he did…
A wonderful but effective short song from 1974. First year I started boogie boarding. Wow let’s go back in a time capsule 😊
Some songs are timeless. I can't imagine this song ever not sounding amazing.
Some song eh?
well some songs have this magic!
In medieval Europe, all the singers would have been burned for witchcraft. Magic hasn’t always been the best subject for a song.
same
Exactly! Talking right! certainly contemporary
The lead singers voice is magical!!
also easy on the eyes!!
oh oh oh its magic
Agreed on both counts lovely voice and adorable
Also handsome xD
@@thosg1750 The drummer Stuart Tosh gave me dreams of naughty things. LOLOLOL
I came to this song because of a commercial I've been seeing and I wanted to reminisce about the good old days. Thank you!
This is simply one of the greatest rock songs of all time. Genius. Thee end.
Parents when they can't be bothered to explain something to their children:
Wow, someone with the same nickname (presumably).
😄
Accurate
I'm not afraid of you!
I'm afraid of you!
🤣🤣🤣
This song can really make every heart sing... oh, ho, ho, it's MAGIC!!! 🎶💖🎶
i agree with you.
The commercial Ozempic got it's tune from this song.
O O O Ozempic.....
@@eyemnew2991 What kind of company is this Ozempic?
@@Tony_Baloney_69420
Every time I hear the commercial sing that jingle, it reminds me of that song
@@eyemnew2991 Ozempic = 💩
The hair - The clothes - The music - The 70s rocked!
The '80s were much better..
Those haircuts were just sheer classics. No music is made like this anymore in 2024. But then again I’m here again for Mr Gilmore ⛳️.
I was a 10 year old girl running around my Neighbourhood on sunny summer days when this came out. Sunny happy times!!!
I was 9. It was a good time to be alive.
i was eleven
I was too. I remember it came out during the summer . Great song!
Yeap I was 11 ohhh how time flys, miss being young with no worries🤔😁🤗
I was 10 in North East England.
This song is joyous...yet it brings a tear to my eye..i miss childhood..😭
I miss it to i just wish i could go back
@@sueblackwood6843 I'm ready when you are..😁🎈
Yes
Take me with you guys if you find a way to go back.
vivandav67 Yes I agree! Time has went too fast
I'm only 16 years old but i enjoy the 60s 70s and 80s music so much...i wish i was born earlier❤🎶🔥
I can actually understand wanting to live in a different era I like the 1920s and 30s thanks to my grandmother's wind-up phonograph I often wish I was from that area but I wouldn't exist right now if I hadn't been I actually take your desire is really high compliment I hope you have a splendid day and a wonderful life
Oh Oh Oh Ozempic 🎶🎶🎶
Camping in the 70’s. Miss you dad... I’ll never forget
We were all a bit camp in the seventies
My dad bought a 1969 Cox pop up camper. We camped all over the north east United States. Such great memories.
The 1970’s. Best decade for music and really just life in general.
Goodness this song is so timeless 😍
CLASSIC NOSTALGIC ICONIC LEGENDARY ❤ 🔥 ❤ 🔥
How many of my Boomer brother's and sister's are still loving this great music in 2023?
I'm not quite a Boomer, but have good memories of this song as a kid in the 70's.
Boomer is our word but you can say Booma
Me!! 1963 Boomer! My youth listening to this on the classic rock station before it was a classic tune.
@@TraceyPruitt 1964 here.
Boomer if born before 1965
The ozempic medication commercial caught the attention of my 3 year grandson. So I played “it’s magic” for him and he’s diggin’ it.
Hope the group gets royalties for that Ozempic ad in the USA
My son takes ozempic and has seen the commercial, so of course I had to play this for him.
It is so great how they pick up on great music at such a young age; hope you record plenty of videos of him dancing; I'm sure he's adorable!
don't take this medication...just don't its dangerous.
The singing in the Ozempic commercial is not as good as that in the original song.
Time flies by very quickly.....
Oh, ho, ho, it's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
Never been awake
Never seen a day break

Lazy day in bed
Music in my head
Crazy music playing in the morning light
Oh, ho, ho, it's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so

Dream of far away
Dreaming on my pillow in the morning

Ok
Its Majic Was just on a tv commerical on sept 2022
I’m 20. But I grew up on music like this. In fact, this song was one of my favorites when I was a kid 😅 My mom would always play it on the stereo we had in our house and I would listen to it on repeat. Good times!
This song gives me goosebumps. Its magic :-)
Greatest song on the planet first listened to this on the radio when I was 4 in 1974, can't believe I remember this song for long
I was 14. Magical song!
I was just 5. Listened it first from Herbie movie, around 2004, time flies
me too!
hey I was also 4 in 1974 such a happy time in my childhood!!
WDRQ , in Detroit, for me....😊
Although this song was a huge part of my childhood, this is the FIRST time I have ever seen the band themselves. Never saw so much as a photo before today.
People dont realize when we were kids we didnt know what people looked like who sang. Probably why we stared at album covers while listening to music imagining what was happening when they recorded.
They are so young eh?
Same here I'm 40 and 1st time seeing them. Looks fun! 🎸🎶
i gave you thumbs up only because of your name
@@phillywhateverguy Same here. First time
This’s such an excellent song. It’s so calm, & it rocks at the same time.
La neta, lo mejor de la música de todos los tiempos. Nací en el 61. Nada será igual que en esos años maravillosos.
True, Verdad.
This song reminds me of “Saturday morning cartoons in the 1970’s” when I was a youngster!!
Talk about criminally underrated.
This reminds me of waking up at my grandma's house ❣️ she would turn up the music when breakfest was ready....I really miss her ♥️♥️♥️
Such a happy priceless song!!!
I always think of the 70s when I hear this song. It just captures the feeling we had then. Riding our bikes bikes with banana seats with this sing playing out of our transistor radios while we rode. Classic 70s song.
We were truly fortunate
totally !
Schwinn apple crate or lemon crate. Stick shift and springy shocks on the front handlebars and slick rear "drag slicks."
The 70's had to have been the most eclectic period in music. So many styles of music were played or created during this decade. We were blessed to be young and free to enjoy the music.
You just described my then 10 year old life during summer vacation biking to the beach. My yellow Phillip's transitory radio was taped to my handlebars and went everywhere I did!
The lead singer: what a delightfully beautiful creature!
Great candidate for a trans
@@yeahsure8323 You jealous asshole, ha!
@@littlemissblackdress7587 Jealousy maybe or maybe Yeah Sure meant no insult and knows nothing is wrong with going trans if one wishes to do so.
I agree. He had a mesmerising smile. ❤
Loved this song when it came out in the 70s. Still love it in 2023! 😊❤
Memories 😊.. where did the time go!!
Can we also appreciate - that this is not only a good song - but the Vocals are AMAZING! - He is hitting those high notes without any effort at all!
I can listen to 70s tunes all day, every day.
Me too, it's real music, not like the junk they record and play nowadays.
Same here brother.. music for last 25 years has been gawd awful..
FERNADES BRUNOOOOO
Jill Lawson Im a Pisces born to like music starting with Partridge Family TV Show. Rolling Stones played in Buffalo, NY 6 times Led Zeppelin 2 times, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, Aerosmith, The Who, The Clash, Doobie Brothers, the producers even got Allman Brothers & Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was cool almost every band opened saying HELLO BUFFALO. To bad they couldn't get David Cassidy. This was at Buffalo Bills Stadium 75,000 fans. I wonder if Im living in the past still listening to these songs. Im 58 & still have my IRISH Freckels on my face. I didn't want to go to grade school my entire face was covered with Freckels, or as the IRISH say ANGEL KISSES.
@@sundancekidd1387 Hear Hear
When ever you are down listen to this song. Life is magic. Never forget that.
True story
Nice comment and very true
Thany you.....🤙🤙🤙🤙😊😁😊👍👍👍💛 God bless
Thank you Rob.
Yes indeed...Corona Schmorona...how could life not be magic when there's Ozempic!
RIP Ian Bairnson
I sang this last night at a karaoke night in a Glasgow pub. Went down well with the punters. Just a great 3 minute pop song.
I don't know why but this beautiful song reminds me of christmas!!! 🎄🎁🎄
Yes it was great being young in the 70's and listening to tunes like this.
Every time this song came on the radio my dad called me into the room or outside to listen, he knew it would bring a smile to my face and I’d start singing and dancing. I was like 5 or 6 it was one of my favorites when I was younger
what a sweet memory ❤
Simi Valley sitting in the school yard after school on the black asphalt at Berylwood listening on a transistor radio this song in 1974 . It just made an such impression on me at 11 years old!
I remember in the 70s on Saturdays I would come down for for breakfast & my wonderful mum would have the radio on & this was permanently playing . Loved those times & loved my mum
Wonderful times, it was great to be alive.
If you love your Mum like I do, then no doubt you're a decent bloke!! All the best, David.
@@barneyronnie you love his mum?🤔
@@affectionatepunch I guess you're not a Native English speaker🤷♀️... By the way, how is your Mum? I pray that she's well!
Take me back to the 70's...
2020 SUCKS!!!
Yeah we always want the 70s back so the band can be young again
What if we bring the 70s to 2020 (that is if the pandemic is over)
@@manuelmedina7594 oh yeah that would sound amazing
Covid-19 & Trump 🤮🤧😷
Yeah...most all contemporary music sucks so hard I can't believe it has come to this...and then Covid like a cherry on top. Oh my.
I was 16 when this song came out and I really liked it a lot.
To be a child of '06, hearing this song feels like magic.
my dad used to play this when he did his magic show when i was a kid, he died last year,i didnt even look for this,it came up in the margin
Sorry for your loss miss may your dad rest in peace
I hope this song brings back magical memories for you.
May he Rest In Peace man. Glad you stumbled upon this song maybe he was checking in on you :)
@@johnpaulbruh7909 thank you so much
A big R.I.P for youre Dad 😥
I was 14 in 1974...and this is the soundtrack to that wonderful summer....first time I ever kissed a girl--thank-you Barbara S--and this song seemed to always be on at the perfect moment...esp on vacation at the Jersey shore....on WABC and WNBC radio.....just the best times.
Couldn't agree more!!! I was 14 in 1974 as well and that summer was fantastic....this song really did have perfect timing, my first boyfriend and also my first kiss...thank you very much David H.!!It's amazing how music can really make you time travel and those memories are so sweet!!!
The Oh oh oh it’s magic is what inspired the oh oh oh ozempic in the Ozempic commercials
1967 Kid in the 70 s remember these vintage songs playing on 📻 Geez im getting old
70's is the best decade in the rock music.
David Kepesi Buffalo, NY in 70s early 80s had 10 years of concerts 4 every summer at Bills Stadium. Rolling Stones played here 6 times. Big Bummer Led Zeppelin cancelled 2 times 1977 & 1981 Aerosmith, Bob Seger, Bad Company, Alice Cooper, Allman Brothers & Lynyrd Skynyrd came to Buffalo. They even had Country singer LeAnn Rimes. The crowd loved it when Alice Cooper said HELLO BUFFALO. Hate to say this about the City I live in. Buffalo is jinxed never had Championship in sports, we still get 10 feet of snow every winter from Lake Erie. Bars are open till 4am. Buffalo has a lot of IRISH Familys here. Always WHITE CHRISTMAS IN BUFFALO
In my opinion it’s the 60s
The '60s were better, but, certain '70s'' song are very good.
And it's not even close.
And 2020 lol
One of the best pop tunes ever. David Paton so underrated
Bring back rock stations have them play all great songs from70,s baby😊
I was 17 dance with my high school football player. Now he's my husband for 50 yrs now he's in heaven but beautiful 📝 I love u baby
That lead singer is just adorable. He has the sweetest smile!

USMC 73-77 It sure was. I like 1977-85 a lot
@@mv9787 my 4 yrs in the Marine Corps 73-77 was a great time. I listened to a lot of music then, mainly to stay out of trouble, and stay away from the bars.
It's called singing with real emotion.
I started liking solo from Wuthering Heights and Eye in the Sky. For a long time I though the guitarist was a sessionist. So good! RIP Ian Bairnson. Much love and respec from PH.
I remember hearing this great song over the radio at my parents house at the Jersey shore back in 1975! I was just 8 years old(born January 1967)so I was around during all these great tunes in the 70s and 80s!🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
Masterpiece. I say this totally unironically. Pop genius.
Zayne Azam ur age should never define the type of music you listen to
Zayne Azam diary of wimpy kid. It was playing in the roller skating rink in one of the movies. That was the first time I heard the song. It’s in more, but that’s the only one I can think of right now.
Zayne Azam I remeber this song in a movie with a car and it began with a h or something I watched it when I was really young and I’m looking for it and I managed to find this song in the process lol
Lan again, age doesn’t affect taste.

One of the best "feel good" songs of the 70's!
I heard the writer of this song being asked how does he feel about it being the Ozempic theme song, seems he's perfectly happy with the royalty checks!
I was 9 when this came out. It pretty much defined my Summer memories of 74. Remember when school ended and it was just Summertime and whatever you wanted to do. Great memories
Yeah I did too i'm 55 years old and that song take me right back super band just oh yeah
I was 20 yrs old when this song played in 1975, I was in the United States Marine Corps on Okinawa missing my cute 19 yr old Blonde hair and her BROWN eyes, she was so cute. Transport me back to 1975.
bravo
62 here. Great song now and then.

The struggles of life....this song makes it magic.
When hear the song we feel:
70s people: throwback and smooth
00s child : Riding a car with a beautiful scenery
00s: The magic roundabout nostalgia
This song was on a 70s mix playing at my mum's new year party. It was 1999 I was 11 drunk after stealing alcohol and vomiting in a container.

I was born in 1958....could not be happier with the music. Magic and Skyhigh by Jigsaw 2 of my favs. Life was so much more simple. Now it is dangerous and embarrassing
Funny, I've been playing this one non stop lately and just discovered "Sky high" today. That one is also super catchy.
I have always loved this song- so pure and reminds me of my childhood.
My childhood memories in the early 70s.
I remember when this song first came out and running to turn it up on the radio at our cottage. 2022, and I still love ❤ this song.
Never fails to give me a lift 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤓
I hear you brother 👍
Well said, as soon as I hear it I smile, I was a kid aged 11 when this came out and loved it then.
Yes, this song does that for me too!
Mało kto pamięta ten zespół ale ja jestem z tych dobrych i wspaniałych czasów wtedy wszystko było inne lepsze i cudowniejsze niewiele się miało a jednak to cieszyło pozdrawiam ❤❤❤❤❤
Such happy memories. I feel 19 again! Going to my 50 high school reunion. I will.demand that they put this on the music list! Love this song even more now than I did back in the 70's
