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!
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
Hi Rick Smith,what a different post you are a very different kind of dude by not wanting to go back to the old days you are indeed going against most of humanity!!!!! You are a "unique & very brave soul"!!!!! I am a 56 year old dude.
Truthfully I do miss the 70's in some key ways. However, if I were to go back, I'd want to be able to take my wisdom and knowledge from today, and enough money to enjoy myself.
I was born in 1970, but my father listened to a lot of music like this, so I grew up knowing the great popular music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Abba, Franck Pourcel, Fenati, Bee Gees, Chicago, Al Stewart, The Association, The Mamas & The Papas, Italian New Wave songs, and of course, Pilot and much more). Over time, my favorite music became that of the great classical masters, from the Renaissance to Shostakovich and Pettersson, but these songs remain with me and will always accompany me.
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.
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.

Fantastic song! I was 13yrs old and just discovering music when this came out. Loved it from the moment I first heard it. This song is one of those brilliantly written feel good songs that lifts me up every time I hear it. I wish artists still wrote songs this good!

@@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.
The way we were in the 70’s 😢 I miss all of that era ! Beautiful songs , beautiful people …, A different life that we have these days 😔 I love this song A LOT !
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
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!!!
I was 5 years-old when this came out. It’s the very first “favorite” song I ever had! I sang it all the time and got excited when it came on the radio. It’s special to me!
I wish I could have experienced this in its prime. Born in the 90s. What an absolutely perfect piece of music. They're such disciplined musicians. Everything working in harmony, all smiles and all love.
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 is Magic! A hit after all these years the execution of the instruments, the talented guys, who maybe are now over 75 years old, their grandsons wouldn't belive how jovial they were back then. It is sad when the end comes in the song. 70's the best Era!
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.
I hear this and I am transported back in time to my subdivision. I am riding my Huffy bike (with banana seat) down the street (NO HELMET) with my AM transistor radio dangling off the handlebars. What a "magic" time to be a kid---the 1970s and 80s. I always thought this but as I see more and more people say the same thing I am convinced of it. Look at the Saturday morning tv now, and then look back at the 70s. I could write an epistle just on that, but if you are watching this video you already know how incredible a time to be alive it was.
Hola soy de Chile tengo 62 años y aun sigo sintiendo la misma emoción de aquellos años cuando la escuche y vi bailar en el programa juvenil Música Libre de los años 70 que época más hermosa

"Never seen a day break *GLEAMING* on my pillow in the morning" 0:41 Read his lips. He's saying "gleaming", not leaning. Initially, he's talking about day break, and what he's missed, not what he was doing. He never saw the sunlight of day break gleaming on his pillow. It's not until the 2nd stanza that he talks about "leaning" on his pillow.
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
When I was little my art teacher in school was on leave so they had a substitute, the teacher was named Mrs Goldie and she was an older lady, she was full of wisdom and positivity and she showed our class this song. This song has always reminded me of her and since then I’ve been into older music ever since.
I love the fact that you can hear his Scottish accent when he sings, so many groups tried to sound American, and while there is nothing wrong with that, for me, this was really refreshing to hear!
@@219043204 Loved Pilot as a teenager, never knew they were Scottish though so when i heard traces of a Scottish accent in his singing i was pleasantly surprised.
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
"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.According to Paton, the song is inspired by the sunrise on Blackford Hill in Edinburgh. In a 2012 interview with Hotdisc Television, Paton also stated that at the time, his wife said she'd "never seen a daybreak," which also inspired the song.
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
imagine this: you are running through the hallways but your eyes catch the most beautiful person you have seen, time freezes and you look at that person while this song starts to play *chef kiss* perfection
Released in 1974 - It's still magic in 2023 !

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.

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!!!
This song gives me goosebumps. Its magic :-)
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
Childhood memories of playing outside running through the grass barefooted....What a beautiful time the 70' s were!
Hey Robin when school is out for the summer I take my shoes off and wouldn't put them on again till school started again
LIKE FREE..............MAN
I beg to differ. I remember cold concrete, sexism, racism and football hooliganism.
@@blackmore4 Yes, those too unfortunately...but we still have those in recent years...but where's 2020's equivalent of Pilot?
Oh Yes!
I was 5 years-old when this came out. It’s the very first “favorite” song I ever had! I sang it all the time and got excited when it came on the radio. It’s special to me!
I wish I could have experienced this in its prime. Born in the 90s. What an absolutely perfect piece of music. They're such disciplined musicians. Everything working in harmony, all smiles and all love.
This song was always playing on the radio when I was in High School. Class of '79. Brings some fun memories back.
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 😥
This’s such an excellent song. It’s so calm, & it rocks at the same time.
RIP Ian Bairnson an exceptional guitarist.

Perfect solo for this song.
The lead singer: what a delightfully beautiful creature!
Great candidate for a trans
@@yeahsure8323 You jealous asshole, ha!

I agree. He had a mesmerising smile. ❤
Cheers from Canada! It was a hit in Canada in the summer of 1975. I was 7. What a great song it was! Still love hearing it after 46 years ♥️
They wrote a song about Canada as well!
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.
First heard this song on the radio at summer camp. The music we grew up on in the 1970's was great.
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 ♥️♥️♥️
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.
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 is Magic! A hit after all these years the execution of the instruments, the talented guys, who maybe are now over 75 years old, their grandsons wouldn't belive how jovial they were back then. It is sad when the end comes in the song. 70's the best Era!
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.
i'm tomorrow 50th.
54 this very morning
message for future generations never let this song to die.
If I have kids they are gonna know this song word for word cuz i love it
The hair - The clothes - The music - The 70s rocked!
The '80s were much better..
A wonderful but effective short song from 1974. First year I started boogie boarding. Wow let’s go back in a time capsule 😊
I hear this and I am transported back in time to my subdivision. I am riding my Huffy bike (with banana seat) down the street (NO HELMET) with my AM transistor radio dangling off the handlebars. What a "magic" time to be a kid---the 1970s and 80s. I always thought this but as I see more and more people say the same thing I am convinced of it. Look at the Saturday morning tv now, and then look back at the 70s. I could write an epistle just on that, but if you are watching this video you already know how incredible a time to be alive it was.
I was born near the end of 1969. The 70's was my childhood and I vividly remember this song and it brings back the happiest memories for me.
@@lauramayfield5410 I was born in the middle of 1964. So sorry you weren't able to absorb even more of it!
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.

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
Leaning on my pillow in the morning
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
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
I love a sunny day
Dream of far away
Dreaming on my pillow in the morning
Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning light
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
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
Try to keep time with the claps. It's not as easy as you think!
@@pminiger9278 I done the claps it was not that hard
The keyboard player looks just like my ex without tits.
I was clapping on the pilot band
"Never seen a day break
*GLEAMING* on my pillow in the morning"
0:41 Read his lips. He's saying "gleaming", not leaning. Initially, he's talking about day break, and what he's missed, not what he was doing. He never saw the sunlight of day break gleaming on his pillow. It's not until the 2nd stanza that he talks about "leaning" on his pillow.
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 ❤
Goodness this song is so timeless 😍
CLASSIC NOSTALGIC ICONIC LEGENDARY ❤ 🔥 ❤ 🔥
When I was little my art teacher in school was on leave so they had a substitute, the teacher was named Mrs Goldie and she was an older lady, she was full of wisdom and positivity and she showed our class this song. This song has always reminded me of her and since then I’ve been into older music ever since.
I was only three years old in 74 but I love all the music from that era. Its Magic. 👌👍
I was 15, those days were wonderful, WHAT HAPPENED????????
@@andymatthews7617 Most teenagers like to listen to people sing about chicks and cars at an abnormal pace now
@@BuddyMGS I suppose new era's bring different perspectives, still we had the best music that will ever be.
I love the fact that you can hear his Scottish accent when he sings, so many groups tried to sound American, and while there is nothing wrong with that, for me, this was really refreshing to hear!
Most foreigners sound American when they sing, you can barely hear an accent when he sings.
@@219043204 Loved Pilot as a teenager, never knew they were Scottish though so when i heard traces of a Scottish accent in his singing i was pleasantly surprised.
@@219043204 Don't really notice the accent when anyone sings, unless they are putting it on!
One of the best "feel good" songs of the 70's!
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
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!
"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.According to Paton, the song is inspired by the sunrise on Blackford Hill in Edinburgh. In a 2012 interview with Hotdisc Television, Paton also stated that at the time, his wife said she'd "never seen a daybreak," which also inspired the song.
Didn't realise they are Scots. Love this song. A '70's child here. Also, more than half Scottish.

This is just simply amazing. After all these years it's just as spectacular and moving, I'll keep moving and grooving to this timelss classick.
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.
This is simply one of the greatest rock songs of all time. Genius. Thee end.
I loved this song..it reminds me of comic books and summer day fun....
Always looked forward to a Summer Special for my holidays, Beano or Dandy usually
James Bell Jr me to I’m 55 now but still love this song wish I could go back to those days so much fun and disco 💃
Exactly that
Love this song. Going to Jones Beach Li with this playing on the radio in 1975.
It was a magical time.
If I composed a classic like this I'd hang my hat up and be proud! This song always brings a smile :)
simple lyrics, simple guitar riffs, okay singing turned into “MAGIC”!
Your simple life
Not that simple guitar on intro!
@@gj8153 Absolute brilliant and underrated guitar work on this one.

imagine this: you are running through the hallways but your eyes catch the most beautiful person you have seen, time freezes and you look at that person while this song starts to play
