Xanadu電影(2) – Magic

一般在Xanadu音樂劇的第二幕，就會使用Xanadu電影中的歌曲MAGIC，這歌可說是該電影的靈魂歌曲，就算電影不濟，該歌甫出都已連據流行榜多周冠軍，可說在英語世界街知巷聞，而主唱者Olivia Newton-John(奧利花紐頓莊)更因此再創歌唱事業高峰。這歌主要是讓Kira神秘地在Sonny面前顯現，及訴說Kira帶來的魔力，所以其氣氛在帶點爵士的配樂下很是懸疑，前奏即已出現的標誌式「主七減五」和弦製造的這效果實在一聽難忘，絕對能令你將它和其他云云歌曲區分開！

在舞台上，一般是在洛杉磯海邊碼頭的場景下，Sonny意圖蹈海之際，為Kira所勸止。承襲電影的裝扮，Kira是要以踩雪屐的方式出場，而且要裝作帶點澳洲口音，這應該是因原唱者奧利花是澳洲籍人士之故。Kira會在邊唱邊說中，引導Sonny說出心中的構想和方向。

我們一生中，也可能會經過靈感如泉湧的時候、以及才思枯竭的階段，往往也想如果真有這樣一位「繆思」神仙來點破那就好了，經過這些磨歷，再聽聽MAGIC這歌，可能別有一番感受。

校園的製作中，要女主角做到邊踩雪屐邊演唱實在是難度很高，想當時這劇公演時，主角便在排練時跌傷而要換人。所以少年版並不要求一定要踩雪屐，以下的選段，雖然女主角唱得有點不穩，但在少年版可以做到踩着雪屐唱歌，練習的功夫也算不賴了！

Come take my hand
You should know me
I've always been in your mind
You know I will be kind
I'll be guiding you
Building your dream
Has to start now
There's no other road to take
You won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic

Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
----------------
From where I stand
You are home free
The planets align so rare
There's promise in the air
And I'm guiding you
Through every turn
I'll be near you
I'll come anytime you call
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll be guiding you

You have to believe we are magic
Nothin' can stand in our way
You have to believe we are magic
Don't let your aim ever stray
And if all your hopes survive
Destiny will arrive
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
I'll bring all your dreams alive
For you
