Open It (Magic Box)

Liner Notes

#folkrock #acousticonetake
I spent more time arriving at the idea than writing the song. Oracle cards (Gift and Magic) suggested the idea of a magic box.

Lyrics

The best things in life come out of the blue
Lately you don’t seem to know what to do
It’s like the universe sent you a magic box
But to open it you have to break the locks

Open it
I say open it
Open it
That’s my suggestion
It’s a magic box for God’s sake
It’s not meant as a decoration
Oh

It’s like you find out you got a letter
It was sent by your fairy godmother
The darned thing is sealed with wax
Do you read it or do you send it back

Open it
I say open it
Open it
That’s my suggestion
It’s a magic box for God’s sake
It’s not meant as a decoration
Oh open it
Oh why don’t you open it

The best things in life come out of the blue
The next step I’m afraid is entirely up to you
It’s not meant to fade to black
You didn’t pay for it so you can’t exactly send it back
What do you do

Open it
I say open it
Open it
That’s my suggestion
It’s a magic box for God’s sake
It’s not meant as a decoration
Oh open it
I say open it
Open it
That’s my suggestion
It’s a magic box for God’s sake
It’s not meant as a decoration

What do you do
The best things in life come out of the blue

The first step towards seizing an opportunity is recognizing it as an opportunity. My interpretation of "It’s a magic box for God’s sake
It’s not meant as a decoration ". Good advice here.

Finally got my lyric for "Open Up" put to music. https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/songs/302210 Only if you've got nothing better to do. ;)

Love the video - cool background!
Great chord progression, and trippy, jangly folk rock which I always love. Expressive vocal, and the magic box is a powerful image. Great song in many ways!

I like this idea a lot. I want a magic box! I guess we all have one if just picture it! Cool Neil Young vibe, sounds great.

I really like the lyrics. They are the standout of this song. Well done!

I love the clever concept for the song and how well you developed it in your lyric. It is thought provoking and intriguing…. I am really wanting to know what is in that magic box!

I too love the best things come out of the blue and where we this came from, I'd like more!

"Open it"! Love the lyrics here, and you made great use of the 'magic box'. 'Best things in life come out of the blue' is my favorite line, though. Nicely done and memorable.

Gorgeous lyrics and ideas. Very persuasive and motivational. Your singing and playing are so accomplished. Can't believe it's one take. Very cool.

@sunfire 1w

Awesome approach to the prompt. I dig the guitar playing and enjoyed hearing you sing. Good skirmishing.

A compelling suggestion, but I know about Pandora and I've seen Raiders of the Lost Ark. :)

"The best things in life come out of the blue" is a combination of phrases that works quite well.
