Unexpected turns
SWEET MAGIC
Behind the song
Sweet Magic began with a classic soul sound in mind. Each round of experimentation led back to the lyrics, until another sound began to emerge. The process was listening critically, rewriting and asking for one more take. Then came the hardest decision: calling it finished.

Lyrics
In the mirror your shadow leans
Wearing my face in the space between
Your eyes don’t burn, they pull me through
Like the room already belongs to you
Don’t look left
Don’t look right
The door is gone
And so is the light
Sweet magic, pull me close
Sweet magic, move me slow
One more touch and down I go
Sweet magic, don’t let go
Go down
Go deep
Go where the night won’t sleep
Go down
Go deep
Go where the night won’t sleep
Your touch comes quiet, velvet-black
One step in and no way back
Your spell moves slowly through my skin
I know the danger, I still lean in
Don’t speak truth
Don’t speak lies
The night has hands
And the night has eyes
Sweet magic, pull me close
Sweet magic, move me slow
One more touch and down I go
Sweet magic, don’t let go
No saints here
No alibis
Just your hand
And those velvet eyes
Oh, those velvet eyes...
Sweet magic, pull me close
Sweet magic, move me slow
One more touch and down I go
Sweet magic, don’t let go
Go down
Go deep
Go where the night won’t sleep
Go down
Go deep
Go where the night won’t sleep
Sweet magic...
Don’t let go...
