jamaraz unreleased #27: 'Magic Hat'

This is quite an old one, I think it's from the Affordable Happiness era, which if you don't remember, was an album I planned to released in between my first (Tunes From Deep Within) and second (Dw I'm All Good) albums, in late 2021. I'd date this song to around November 2021, so I was 14 at the time of making this.

You may notice when listening to this song that the chords towards the beginning sound very similar to Microwave... it's cos they're the same chords! You could sing the "bluebells are purple, greenland's not green" verse over the top of this and it'd sound good. When I was writing Microwave, I just stole the chords from this song because I thought I'd never bother releasing it anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Lyrics:

I thought I knew him well, oh
But when he puts on that hat
Turns into someone else
Oh, you gotta get me some of that

I'm not super-stitious, I'm a little bit stitious
I've been having dreams
Dude, I've been having visions, man

I wonder, I wonder
Does that hat make him a different guy?
I wonder, when he steals my thunder
Is he planning to apologise?
Throw me under, go confront her
Forced conversation doesn't qualify
I wonder, when he steals my thunder
Is he planning to apologise?

I disbelieved at first
But it transformed my life
Into a social paradise
I see the world through embarrassless eyes

Yeahhh, oh god
Oh, not again (Yeeaahhhhh)

I wonder, I wonder...

Magic, a magic hat
Gotta get me some of that
Magic, a magic hat
Gotta get me some of that
etc.

I wonder, I wonder...
...I wonder why
