Grant, John - Love Is Magic Lyrics






Have you got depression?
Passive aggression?
Did they stop loving you
And you're the only one who doesn't know?
You forgot your medication
And Sade is playing on the radio

They say you were always enough
It's too ridiculous to call their bluff
And you're staring at a dresser drawer
Just devoid of clean underwear
You're trying to work out on your calculator
If you can swing that trip to anywhere but here

Love is Magic
Whether you Like it or Not
It isn't so tragic
It's just a lie that you bought
When the door opens up for you
Don't resist, just walk on through
There is nothing left to lose

Do you think you can take the pain?
Is it destroying the inside of your brain?
And you've come so very far to hear
That you're nowhere near half-way there
There's no milk in the refrigerator
And you'll be hearing all about it when you get home tonight

And this thing called intimacy
Is it what you always thought it would be?
Do you feel like you've experienced
What the word is supposed to mean?
Do you feel like you are in control?
Did you find out that there's really no such thing?

Love is Magic
Whether you Like it or Not
It isn't so tragic
It's just a lie that you bought
When the door opens up for you
Don't resist, just walk on through
There is nothing left to lose

  3. L.... ....

    dogs BITE!!!! babies ... Kool Song tho :-)

  4. K.... K....

    Looks like a C4 documentary (except without the naked people, porn, or stool examinations).

  5. s.... ....

    Sade is playing on the radiooooo... Today I met someone with this name and had to come here... te amo, cabrón!

  6. P.... L....

    You know what





    Yes

  7. V.... L....

    Just another amazing song... Congrats John

  8. t.... ....

    The originality and diversity of this artist continues to bewitch this listener. He really is extraordinarily talented and sublimely unpredictable.

  9. D.... M....

    Looking forward to your concert in Dublin this March - great song and video!

  10. C.... S....

    DogLove is magic, but let's address the elephant (crotch shot) in the room (on the cover).

  11. C.... P....

    What a charming video!!!

  12. N.... ....

    My collies, cats, and birds loved filming this. Thanks so much!

  13. L.... M....

    John Grant really IS the GMF that we're ever going to meet.

  14. C.... ....

    This reminds me a bit of As If by Magic
    by La Roux, especially the melody when they both rhyme magic with tragic. :)

  15. P.... C....

    Not sure what just happened here, but I kinda enjoyed it.

  16. G.... C....

    His voice gets under my skin!

  17. c.... ....

    NPR’s Here and Now DJ Session brought me here. What amazing song. I was driving as they had the song come on and I just had to look it up. Had never heard of this singer. 👍👍 Love it.

  18. B.... R....

    Great song and great video by Thomas Ralph, my Grandson

    B.... R....

    Tell him from me that this is one of my favourite music videos of all time (and I'm 47, and have seen A LOT of music videos).

    B.... R....

    Wow ❤️

  19. V.... G....

    can´t stop listening to this <3

  20. M.... T....

    Teaching dogs some tricks to make a fine clip?! Oh yes...why not?! WHY NOT?! Teach those tricks yourself to get some food...idiots

    M.... T....

    I don't know you but ... you're obviously a dog expert;-)

    M.... T....

    @Adam Opyrchal Ooh boy! Other direction! Who is really an expert on this fucking "Do!Obey!" Planet, huh?! FU dude :)Dont like to see people that want to look good, only because an animal obeys. Oh yes and maybe most of the dogs have a lot of fun (and yummy rewards FOOL!). I still dont like it! Give the yummys and hugs and cuddlings without the fucking tricks. Get it or die dumb dude.

    M.... T....

    @MyousicK T.T "You forgot your medication
    And Sade is playing on the radio ..."

    M.... T....

    @MyousicK T.T You just jumped through another hoop. Good boy!

    M.... T....

    @Adam Opyrchal Nice empty-phrases try, mf. ;)

  21. M.... C....

    Guaauuuu

  22. P.... S....

    I have spent all my day listening to the new album. It needs time to be understood, but after some listenings, it opens up to you. Now waiting to see John in Berlin, next month.

  23. E.... ....

    Doggy Style

  24. a.... d....

    This is a wonderful video. It's sympathetic, funny, and truly fitting for this song. The video makes visual sense of the words. thankyou.

  25. g.... ....

    che bella canzone e che pena il video

  26. T.... ....

    Dogs have to be the greatest thing in this world.

  27. T.... ....

    You are my new favorite artist and have given me hope in exciting new music. Everything you do is wonderful. A new fan from Australia thanks to randomly catching Mother's Hips on Rage.

  28. R.... M....

    Thank You John Grant!! Love it hope to see your performance in Detroit!!

  29. F.... B....

    Good song and beautiful video!!

  30. J.... F....

    The instrumental from 3:36 onwards is absolutely magnificent and makes this a classic; take a bow Mr.Grant.

  31. N.... a....

    Me and my 3 red collies had lots of fun filming this- very pleased with the final video

    N.... a....

    You're beautiful :-)

    N.... a....

    Thanks to you / them! Great work!

    N.... a....

    Are you available for an interview on the topic of the video and it's hidden agenda?

  32. F.... A....

    Grande artista, sensibile e innovativo. Spero che tu presto ti esibirai in qualche venue dove io possa apprezzarti dal vivo. La prima volta che ti ho visto alla tv ero in Brasile.

  33. �.... ....

    Now that's what I call doggystyle!

  34. R.... C....

    @johngrant this is fantastic. The sounds and words connect. I love what you are doing. Come to Seattle!

  35. R.... J....

    oh oh John. So good to see you again in action Great Man! Fantastic material! Keep up the good job!

  36. Z.... ....

    Disappointment

  37. M.... O....

    No one could watch this or hear this and not feel SOMETHING <3 Brings out a lot of love in me anyway.

  38. D.... R....

    Utter shite.

  39. C.... C....

    Dogs are Magic.

  40. F.... A....

    Speed 0.5

  41. l.... s....

    I'm going to see him live later this year. This guy is an absolute treasure...

  42. S.... M....

    Great to hear there's a new album coming! I only discovered your music last year but I have to say I'm a huge fan especially of your lyrics. Can you bottle some of that and send it over?

  43. r.... ....

    i'm going to say that the song is all about, perhaps mostly in the later years, you realize that love is an illusion so you go out, buy a dog and train the shit out of them, because they will listen to you and follow you without conviction, then enter them in shows so you can prove to everyone that you have trained them, made them perform well and that the dog loves you, making you appear to be smart and loved. because that's what's important to you. to validate your life where you couldn't because nobody would love you because your controlling and manipulative. but a dog will. like the crazy cat lady. except that cats are too smart.

  44. J.... C....

    felt at home watching this, thank you John

  45. A.... R....

    Another masterpiece. Can't wait for the new album. Your music and lyrics help me through.

  46. S.... H....

    Loved taking part in this Video with my Bernese Mountain Dog, Good luck with the tour John xx

    S.... H....

    Thanks to you / him! Great work!

    S.... H....

    He's an absolute beauty!

    S.... H....

    How did that come about?

    S.... H....

    Sandra Hallam
    Are you available for an interview on the topic of the video and it's hidden agenda?

  47. B.... M....

    This song has grown sooo much on me.. its really up there with some of his best stuff.!! I am so excited for the next chapter

  48. s.... ....

    Lovely video 🐕 ❣️

  49. R.... G....

  51. L.... P....

    This video is pure love! :)

  52. i.... ....

    You never repeat yourself, neither in music or in videos, do you, John?
    Love the doggies, love the sweet ladies who train them.
    And I love the beginning of a new journey to discover your new album with the new sounds and themes as heralded by this first single.

    i.... ....

    idraote Glad you liked the dogs. It was nice to portray John's lyrics as the magic we create when we form a bond of love with our dogs.

  53. A.... R....

    John Grant-I love what you do!

  54. R.... C....

    John is magic <3

    R.... C....

    Ricardo Contreras Whether you like him or not 💫

  55. R.... C....

    Awwwww, I love the doggies

  56. s.... ....

    I fucking LOVE LOVE LOVE this...

  57. m.... m....

    Always heart-felt and heart-piercing. Creating magic out of sad stuff. This is John Grant!

  58. P.... S....

    Looking like Ulrich Seidl did a music video.. Love it

  59. M.... S....

    I didn't thought that I can like you more. After this video I do :)

  60. A.... B....

    Thank U!!!! I love You1!

  61. S.... ....

    I can't decide whether these digital sounds make me feel nostalgic or futuristic

    S.... ....

    Nostalgic to the futurism maybe?

    S.... ....

    @Kareem Nofal yeah, that counts :)

    S.... ....

    Both. This is the nice thing

    S.... ....

    the future isn't what it used to be

  62. A.... J....

    Nice tunes indeed!

  63. M.... M....

    Brilliant.

  64. R.... O....

    Wonderfull video and you are a wonderfull artist.

  65. J.... H....

    Quiet Friend did this video better with "Playgrounds." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAeB37UCpkw

  66. T.... R....

    This is amazing! The perfect - and surprising - connection between song and visuals.

  67. p.... ....

    So true. I am happy to hear your new Sound. Greetings from Germany. Love is magic. So true.

  68. A.... W....

    !!woof woof!!

  69. V.... T....

    Compared to Pale Green Ghosts or any single from Queen of Denmark era this sounds like a bad joke.

    V.... T....

    He leído la reseña. Estoy de acuerdo con lo que dices. Yo le daré una oportunidad al nuevo disco, quiero escucharlo entero. Espero que no se parezca ni remotamente a este single, y si el álbum va en esta dirección, no me lo compraré. Echaré de menos al John Grant que hacía música de calidad.

    V.... T....

    Oh, when he finds out about this, he'll be really sad.

    V.... T....

    boo hoo, he didn't make the record I wanted... STFU David, everyone hates you, don't you remember from school?!

    V.... T....

    There's a steep learning curve getting into and appreciating John's work in general, I feel like this song requires the same journey. its taken me many listens with open ears but I now really love this song... the end of the chorus "there is nothing left to lose"... really captures the brilliance of this song

    V.... T....

    I fear you just can't keep pace ...

  70. M.... L....

    Fantastic dogs!

  71. R.... L....

    Rainha da Dinamarca vemmm

  72. D.... D....

    Three years waiting for a new record to listen to this crap. And "Grey tickles" was a disappointment, too.

    D.... D....

    This is a great example of how subjective music is. I absolutely love Grey tickles

    D.... D....

    I Bet you're Great Fun ...not.

  73. A.... ....

    ❤️ John! Keep working your magic!

  74. V.... L....

    Magical artwork! Congratulations John

  75. G.... C....

    OH YEEEAH

  77. m.... e....

    m.... e....

    mark esbach ... It's about love, love comes in different forms. Hence the video

  78. B.... C....

    Forever enamoured with John Grant's music. And that's a great video! Couldn't stop smiling. Lovely, talented pooches.

  79. A.... R....

    John is never one for the obvious!

    A.... R....

    @Austen Redman
    John has always been one for the obvious, just not for the oblivious.

  80. C.... P....

    My king is back

    C.... P....

    Charlie Peña ...Queen. of Denmark

  81. K.... K....
