In his own right, John is indeed a genius... however, Freddie was the (other) genius who came up with this bass-line/version. You may know that the original (movie) version was quite different but Freddie rearranged it for the single/album. I will concede however that the bass-line was in fact already used by Queen (identical in part except for key) in the 1984 song Keep Passing The Open Windows. I have no knowledge of who wrote that bass-line but I do believe it inspired Freddie's thoughts on Magic. Freddie certainly wrote just about every part in Bohemian Rhapsody (for instance) but didn't do so for every one of his songs. He was, however very capable of writing brilliant parts for all the instruments without actually playing them, which is pretty much 'proper' composer stuff.
Deacon's bass-line on Millionaire's Waltz is possibly his best work in a catalog of stellar performances. All four of these guys are brilliant musicians each in their own right. Deacy absolutely is one of the great bass players in rock history.
Freddie roger brian and John really were a kind of magic. Happy the 4 got together and shared there magic with the world. Still loved and for years to come. R.I.P Mr. Fahrenheit you may be gone physically but you lives in all of our hearts
As verdadeiras lendas do rock mundial nunca morrem, renasce como a fênix, o Queen é resposta para ser a fênix, com outras criações, presenças de trabalho e de palcos, esse é o Queen.
An old Rosario Vampire abridged series brought me; it's down now, and I haven't thought of this song in years until that Coke commercial played a variation of this song, and I just had to track it down. Beautiful.
It's a kind of magic It's a kind of magic A kind of magic (No way) One dream, one soul One prize, one goal One golden glance of what should be It's a kind of magic One shaft of light that shows the way No mortal man can win this day It's a kind of magic The bell that rings inside your mind Is challenging the doors of time It's a kind of magic The waiting seems eternity The day will dawn of sanity (Ooh ooh ooh ooh) Is this a kind of magic? It's a kind of magic There can be only one This rage that lasts a thousand years Will soon be done This flame that burns inside of me I'm hearing secret harmonies It's a kind of magic The bell that rings inside your mind Is challenging the doors of time It's a kind of magic It's a kind of magic This rage that lasts a thousand years Will soon be, will soon be, will soon be done This is (this is) a kind (a kind) of magic (yeah) There can be only one (one, one, one) This rage that lasts a thousand years Will soon be done (done) Magic (it's a kind of magic) It's a kind of magic Magic magic magic (magic) (Magic) Aa ha ha haa, it's magic (Magic) It's a kind of magic
C'est ma Préférée , et Freddy , tu nous manques , Tu sais !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oui Freddy , tu nous manques à moi et à beaucoup d' autres . Tu es et restera Exceptionnel !!!! Ce Kind of Magic , une pure merveille et y en à eu bien d' autres !!!! Bien sur .Fabien .
Tortured, talented soul. If he only he had stayed on the straight and narrow, he may have not been tortured so... chock it up to upbringing, family dynamic, etc... Still despite this, he was able to move mountains; a testament to his greatness. 🙏🏼
Interesting fact that One Vision is the sibling to this song. "I had a Dream, when I was young, a dream of sweet illusion". "One Dream, One Soul, One Prize One Goal,...One Vision".
many queen songs are connected with each other and i love this :D. I have also one fact. This song is "A Kind of magic" and "A kind of a kind of magic" (bonus track from album) combined You should also try to listen to "Friends will be friends will be friends", it's another bonus track
Sorry buddy. Is common knowledge that one vision was written and recorded long before a kind of magic. Roger Taylor initially wrote one vision about Martin Luther King Jr. A kind of magic references running themes from the film The Highlander. ☺
I so much love the Highlander revised version. The pop-ness of the it's a kind of magic as well as the tempo are just not as emotionally gut-kicking as the revised version. I love Queen but this version is so lacking.
Every time I listen to this song, I experience a little magic in my life.
What can we say about Freddie.......... There can be only one! Absolutely magical.
Thanks Freddie for the songs (:
Freddie was a kind Magic that we will never see again! Luv you 4ever and beyond!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the bassline of this song. John Deacon is one heck of a genius!

It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic (No way)
One dream, one soul
One prize, one goal
One golden glance of what should be
It's a kind of magic
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Is this a kind of magic?
It's a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be, will soon be, will soon be done
This is (this is) a kind (a kind) of magic (yeah)
There can be only one (one, one, one)
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be done (done)
Magic (it's a kind of magic)
It's a kind of magic
Magic magic magic (magic)
(Magic) Aa ha ha haa, it's magic (Magic)
It's a kind of magic

All I’ll say it search for ‘A Kind of Vision.’
THAT IS PRETTY COOL!

I so much love the Highlander revised version. The pop-ness of the it's a kind of magic as well as the tempo are just not as emotionally gut-kicking as the revised version. I love Queen but this version is so lacking.
I prefer this version
I love this video. I'm not sure why but I just do.
Not a patch on the LIVE version Freddie did.
Prince Charlie Brown's favourite song.
Oink! Oink!
Is that a official Extended Version or not?
Possibly Sir Brians best solo?
Where is film matterial/stuff 'making of a kind of magic'
I’m not sure where, but the animations are by Disney.
Guay!;;;

Highlander movie
Muitos imitaram Michael Jackson, quero ver imitar freddie mercury
Esse é original , os que tentam imitar ele é cópia, falsa
Queen were NOT Freddie Mercury!
... only this isnt the official extended release.........
