Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter Ophelia Moon’s most recent single, Magic and Daffodils, is a heartfelt and poetic song that feels both timeless and intensely personal. The song transports listeners to a contemplative realm where beauty, love, and longing converge, led by evocative lyrics and warm vocals.
Magic and Daffodils explores the grand themes of life, such as joy, passion, conflict, and wonder, which are at the heart of Ophelia Moon’s artistic practice. The song’s delicate instrumentation and dreamy tone allow the lyrics to shine. Her songwriting has a natural elegance; every word feels deliberate and is encased in poetic grace and a hint of nostalgia.
The song’s ability to convey the ephemeral beauty of sometimes-overlooked moments, such as the early spring bloom of daffodils, is what most strikes me. It serves as a subliminal reminder to value beauty despite the chaos of daily life.
Magic and Daffodils is a beautiful song for lovers of introspective, contemplative music with an indie or folk-pop feel; its message is subtle but impactful. Ophelia Moon demonstrates how music can be a calming influence that encourages introspection and slowing down.
LYRICS:
Melancholy haze
Fail to gaze
Fail to see
The magic
magical griffin in me
Love and timber
Fade away
Bare as newborn
Still you see
Billywig Billywig
Spirit in me
Ah Ah
Gorgon fade
Eye of stone
Stare and fracture
Should have seen
Tender doe-eyed
Daffodil in me
Estonia believe
Song of hebrew
Wish to see
Wish to see
Saraphim seraphim in me
Ah ah
Oh Oh
Carve carve my way
Wings of bliss
Could you see
An elfen dance
A pixie in me
Magic and daffodils,
Ah ah
Magic and daffodils
Magic and daffodils
Ah ah
Magic and daffodils
Magic and daffodils
Magic and daffodils
Melancholy haze
Fail to gaze
Fail to see
The magic
magical griffin in me
Love and timber fade
Bare as newborn
Still you see
Billywig billywig
Spirit in me
Ah ah
Carve carve my way
Wings of bliss
Could you see
An elfen dance
A pixie in me
Magic and daffodils
Ah ah
Magic and daffodils
Magic and daffodils
Ah ah
Magic and daffodils
Magic and daffodils
Magic and daffodils
