RELIQA - Mr. Magic (Official Music Video)

MR. MAGIC is the latest single from Australian alternative-metal band, RELIQA.

This song is a direct call out to the powers that be – and it’s on you to point the finger: be it as far as heaven, or as near as the mirror. Disillusioned and frustrated by the configuration and abuse of power in global events, Reliqa have adopted a biting, satirical commentary on the current state of affairs. The message is clear – ignorance is a choice, and the future is not a game to be played. This is the closest the four of us have worked before, and we hope it provides some of the catharsis for our audience that it has for us.

This is probably the most criminally underrated band I've ever known about. Their work is so much better and more thought out than a large portion of the rest of this genre. I am obsessed with this song. The riffs, breakdowns and overall production is next level stuff. Can't fucking wait for the next album!

I really don't understand why you aren't more popular yet. This is some great fucking music.

[Crashb]

METALBIRB brought me here, really sick!

[MustiToshiro]

So glad that I've found you guys in early 2019, I've been listening Eventide on repeat since then! Love the unique sound you create <3

[LocalBandSmokeout]

This band is gonna make it. Holy moly!

[runeofnoweyr]

Started with tripping over "Doomed" on Spotify. Now I'm grabbing merch. This SOUND. Just. Between the strong vocals and cutting lyrics, the thumping rythm, the ripping guitar and bass, then the sound of an entire goddamn orchestra? Y'all have another American fan.

[luzthebuz]

I thought I commented about it before, but that bass player is fucking killing it. Love his energy

Lyrics-
One – we all fear the rising sun
Shield your eyes down the barrel of your rose-coloured gun
Just once, I’d love to see you come undone
Because the sun’s become a mirror and it’s over and you’ve won
Take it all from me,  I’ll stay right where I wanna-
(Be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
You can take it all from me, but I’m where I wanna be)

And then it’s gone - that golden shine you adored
Digging deeper in your pockets, all that’s left is a hole
You start to panic - Finally, a sign of a soul!
Maybe now you’ll drop a level and you’ll join who you speak for
Take, take, take, you’ll see, I’ll stay right where I wanna-
(Be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be)
You can take the world from me, but I’m where I wanna be--

All that power in one hand, our lives in the other
– which dice to roll tonight, my friend?
All you take is yours forever
So buy yourself some time, and keep the rest ‘till the end
‘Cause when you’re looking skyward, while we’re going under
– the sacrifice is yours to make
If we go, we go together
And when we’re six feet down, you’re not the one to be saved

With palms so clean and unscathed, you could tell the future!
Be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be - with no promise and no dream, won’t it save me if I see like you?!
With a voice so wise, you could speak the truth!
So what’s it gonna be, gonna be, gonna be if we cannot agree?
In sickness or health, for better or worse
Dear Mr. Magic, with your healing hands:
I wanna be as far from magic as I fucking can!

(The only place I wanna be, wanna be
I wanna get inside your head where you are not the king
Forget about illusions, I’m not your devotee
No more secrets from you, Magic Man, ‘cause I see everything)

All that power in one hand, our lives in the other
– which dice to roll tonight, my friend?
All you take is yours forever
So buy yourself some time, and keep the rest ‘till the end

‘Cause when you’re looking skyward, while we’re going under
– the sacrifice is yours to make
If we go, we go together
And when we’re six feet down, you’re not the one to be saved

The only place I wanna be, wanna be
I wanna get inside your head where you are not the king
Forget about illusions, I’m not your devotee
No more secrets from you, Magic Man, ‘cause I see everything

I've got a trick for ya; play on your perilous act
I'll watch you disappear at any minor setback
Forget the ruse – luck will surely set you free!
No more secrets from you, Magic Man
'Cause now I see…
Everything

Every single time I hear this song, my retired dancer brain envisions a contemporary ballet pas de deux to it.
Setting off my dancer brain is how I know I reeeally love a piece of music. If I can hear it with my body and not just my ears, it is **chef's kiss** perfect
This band is incredible.

[TheWormylightning]

Extremely excited to see a new song from you guys!


And a video to boot!

[metaomicron]

Spotify as recomended me this song. Boy am I glad it did, the breakdown is INSANE!

[TheKurzzze]

Wow, that took me completely off guard. I'm sold!! The vocals are without faults, and those breaks hit so hard my jaw actually dropped and my head was banging along. You can tell there is a lot of true passion here. Hope to see you go far, but this is and always will be an amazing song!

[xFionna]

Amazing one take recording, props to the production on this one. something like this might seem so simple but I know it can take alot more effort than people expect

[EarthMunky]

I just found these guys prior to Good Things 2024 in Melbourne... I am obsessed!

[PeredyIzhere]

[anoske]

I was wondering when you were going to release a new song, But then I remembered that perfection takes time. This song is amazing!

[chabnh]

Discovered you one year ago in a random mix in spotify with the Halfway Point, got to know you better with the full lengh album and now this. Can't believe it took me one year to come and check you out on YouTube ! But you're already in my spotify playlists
Keep rocking guys !

[KhairinAzli]

I found you guys out from spotify's release radar and I instantly fell in love. Mesmerizing vocal and powerful arrangement. Keep doing what you guys are doing. Hopefully i'll get to see you guys live one day. Love from Malaysia 💪
