# Mother Magic [Intro — deep sub-bass pulse, sparse syncopated percussion, distant wordless choir swelling] [Low female choir hum builds into rich harmony] [Spoken — commanding, cool] Don't call it luck. Honey, I am the magic. [Verse 1 — commanding female lead, rhythmic phrasing, restrained bass and drums] Showed up an hour late No lines, I never have to wait My drink's already at the bar They know exactly who you are Walked in, the whole room turned Didn't ask, that respect was earned One little smile, the lights go bright Looks like somebody's blessed tonight [Pre-Chorus — low choir enters, building four-part harmonies] [Each phrase adds another vocal layer, percussion grows stronger] Never a moment out of place Every moment just my way The perfect words fall into place And I can see it on your face [Choir — rising sustained harmonies] Ooh-ah, ooh-ah Ah-ah-ah! [Chorus — monumental choral crescendo, massive sub-bass, thunderous percussion] [Full mixed choir in soaring harmony, powerful female lead belting above] MOTHER MAGIC! I don't chase it, I attract it MOTHER MAGIC! Every move is automatic [Choir swells higher, dramatic sustained notes] Watch me turn the whole room blue Make the impossible come true [Lead and choir — powerful unison declaration] MOTHER MAGIC! Honey, the magic is me! [Post-Chorus — layered choral call-and-response over syncopated drums] [Lead] Who brought the magic? [Choir — powerful harmony] MOTHER! [Lead] Who makes it happen? [Choir] MOTHER! [Lead] Who's got the power? [Choir — rising crescendo] MOTHER! [Full choir — sustained triumphant harmony] Give her her flowers! [Verse 2 — choir recedes to soft rhythmic backing vocals, bass and percussion remain] DJ sees me, drops the beat Whole damn floor gets on its feet Every queen knows every word Not a single prayer unheard Boy in the corner caught my eye Tried to speak, forgot his line I just laughed and waved him through Baby, this magic ain't for you [Pre-Chorus — choir returns in increasingly powerful harmony] [Layered female and male voices, rising tension] Never a moment out of place Every moment just my way The perfect words fall into place And I can see it on your face [Choir — soaring ascending harmonies] Ooh-ah, ooh-ah Ah-ah-ah! [Chorus — full choir, driving sub-bass, thunderous drums] [Lead belts with commanding authority] MOTHER MAGIC! I don't chase it, I attract it MOTHER MAGIC! Every move is automatic [Choir builds toward a sustained climax] Watch me turn the whole room blue Make the impossible come true [Lead and choir — triumphant] MOTHER MAGIC! Honey, the magic is me! [Instrumental and Choral Break — 16 bars] [Deep sub-bass and powerful syncopated percussion] [Wordless mixed choir builds in overlapping ascending harmonies] [Low voices establish a pulsing rhythmic motif] [Higher voices enter with soaring sustained notes] [Choir grows into a cathedral-sized crescendo] [Drums briefly disappear, leaving exposed vocal harmony] [One beat of silence] [Massive bass and percussion return beneath the full choir] [Bridge — stripped percussion, intimate but commanding lead] You think I need a wand? You think I need a spell? Baby, look around this room I think you know damn well [Choir — soft, ominous sustained harmony] Ah-ah-ah... [Spoken — calm, authoritative] You think it's magic? [Complete silence] [Spoken — close to microphone] Honey, the magic is me. [Final Chorus — overwhelming gospel-choral climax] [Full mixed choir in soaring multi-part harmony] [Lead vocalist delivers powerful sustained notes] [Thunderous percussion and enormous sub-bass] [Each phrase builds higher and louder] MOTHER MAGIC! I don't chase it, I attract it MOTHER MAGIC! Every move is automatic [Choir rises into soaring octave harmonies] Watch me turn the whole room blue Make the impossible come true [Percussion stops — exposed full choir in sustained harmony] MOTHER MAGIC! [Full percussion and bass return] [Lead belts, choir answers in triumphant unison] Honey, the magic is me! [Extended Outro — choir-driven anthem, rolling bass and percussion] [Lead] Who brought the magic? [Choir] MOTHER! [Lead] Who makes it happen? [Choir] MOTHER! [Lead] Who's got the power? [Choir — enormous final crescendo] MOTHER! [Full choir — sustained harmonies] Give her her flowers! [Choir holds a final powerful chord as percussion falls away] [Spoken — satisfied, effortless] You're welcome. [Final deep bass hit] [End]
