Magical Complicated is about the extremes of being in love whether it’s with multiple people or just one person. The symbiotic relationship that passion has with chill is fascinating. I find the comfortable blues to be as necessary as the passionate throws. The connection points in these two moods are deeply important to the full human experience. The song co-produced with PRNDL, starts off as a groovy chill-hop vibe that melds into another world of salsa, instrumental improvisation and the deep roots Mahealane has in multilingual singing and latin jazz through artists like Chick Corea, Dizzy Gillespie and Astrud Gilberto.
lyrics
What is Love when it’s magical
When it’s complicated
And so fragile
But we’re alive
And that’s beautiful
And we’ll survive even when we fail
What is Love when there’s heartbreak
And it’s too hard to take
And you can’t handle
But we’re alive (we’re alive, we’re alive)
And that’s beautiful
And we’ll survive even when we fail
And we’re alive and that’s beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Quieres mi mente
Quieres mi cuerpo
Quieres mi alma
Quieres todo
Pero no puedo darte el mundo
Debes encontrarlo adentro
Pero no puedo darte el mundo
Debes encontrarlo adentro
Quieres mi mente
Quieres mi cuerpo
Quieres mi alma
Quieres todo
Pero no puedo darte el mundo
Debes encontrarlo adentro
Pero no puedo darte el mundo
Debes encontrarlo adentro
Qué es el amor cuando es mágico
Cuando es complicado y es tan frágil
Pero estamos vivos y eso es hermoso
Y sobreviviremos incluso cuando fallamos
Y sobreviviremos incluso cuando fallamos
And we’re alive and that’s beautiful
