The Official Singles Chart Top 100 will be posted in full, here, on Sunday at 7pm. 11 MAGIC COLDPLAY http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/route-94-and-jess-glynnes-my-love-leads-midweek-singles-race-2797/ With 3 days left I think it can climb a few spots higher for a top 10 debut...

the_escapist Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 According to coldplayzone.it, the Radio Edit of Magic will last 4 minutes and 16 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvdmm Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Same here! I definitely disliked it at first but now its amazing. Also I don't think the song is mainstream/radio friendly at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Philosopher Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 0k, not one of my favourite Coldplay songs but it has me addicted. It's sounding in my head all the time even not listening to it for a couple of days... The "Call it magic" the "And I don't, and I don't, and I don't...", it has an Up in Flames vibe, but the difference is that I didn't like UIF quite much and at least I like Magic.

Nature Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Midnight sounds totally diffrent then there previous work and sounds really nice. Now 'Magic' really diffrent then 'Midnight' but i also like that track. So glad they go back to what they do best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tash Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 They should have chosen this for the main cover. When it's clearly inspired by Magic? I disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Great song - loved the bass and drums from the outset. I don't like the vocals in the verse...it's a little too loud-talking-like for me. But the choruses really get me. There's this weirdly vague R&B inspiration and I like it! I wish Jonny's parts were louder and longer though. Trade that quiet outro for more guitar solo. </3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ennosuke Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I wish Jonny's parts were louder and longer though. Trade that quiet outro for more guitar solo. </3 I totally agree. Every time I listen to this song I think "Oh man this will be amazing when Jonnys part comes" and it is, but it is so short, I wish it would be more intense and longer.

postcards Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The R & B part reminds me a little bit of Alicia Keys...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockflote Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I totally agree. Every time I listen to this song I think "Oh man this will be amazing when Jonnys part comes" and it is, but it is so short, I wish it would be more intense and longer. Maybe one another song will finish with a long loud and intense solo... dreams come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phrames Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The song is okay... Of course I'm excited because its a new coldplay release and it has its moments but to say its more than average... I dont know... Yes its on repeat in my head but would it be a song by anyone else I wouldnt have played it a third time... Although I must say its a nice change to the big big big mx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvdmm Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I've had it on repeat for a couple of days now and it gets better every time! What baffles me is why it took me a lot longer to appreciate and understand the song. I loved midnight instantly but this was a very different experience. I hope others who dismissed it early on like me give it a few more listens and I'm sure they'll fall in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingChris Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I really like the song, really hope they do a great live version like Paradise was also less produced live. I hope Chris plays the piano and then transitions to acoustic during the song (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope others who dismissed it early on like me give it a few more listens and I'm sure they'll fall in love. I had a similar experience with the song. This is the first time that my excitement quickly faded after I listened to the first single of a Coldplay album. I began to look for answers because I've waited for the album patiently. Is it because it's not a stadium-built song? Is it because of too much R&B influence when I was expecting a rockier sound? There are a lot of questions inside my head... But after that I gave the song a listen and every time it plays it grows in me... I still prefer Midnight but Magic is fine I guess. :) I hope the song will do "magic" after a while.

Kingzilla Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I think it deserves the three Rolling Stone gave it. I mean, three is decent and for me, Magic is decent. Midnight is a solid four. Hopefully, this is just a Coldplay putting out its most commercial song out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
