Mystical Magical - Benson Boone

---

Stepping into this enchanting track, "Mystical Magical" takes us to a world of dreamy yet nostalgic vibes. From his upcoming album, American Heart, Benson Boone impresses once again. With his latest track trending everywhere, Benson truly knows how to create a pop hit. The song explores the theme of having a nonchalant love while acknowledging that the other person feels the same way you do, completely in love, even if they haven't realized it yet. With its magical opening and vibrant beats, let’s dive into this eclectic melody.

“There's nothing colder than your shoulder. When you're dragging me along like you do, like you do.” Nothing colder than your shoulder refers to the expression "cold shoulder," which describes a feeling of distance or being ignored—essentially the opposite of a warm welcome. You often experience this feeling when you are with someone you care about fondly, but you realize that their feelings are not as mutual as you would like them to be. “And then you switch up with no warnin'. And you kiss me like you want it, how rude, how rude.” This person is drawn to you not out of genuine affection, but rather for their own selfish interests and as a distraction from their own life. Their behavior can shift abruptly, often without any warning, like a sudden storm. One moment, they appear indifferent to your presence, as if you are invisible; the next, they are fully immersed, showering you with attention and affection. This unpredictable conduct can leave you feeling confused and emotionally fatigued as you navigate the extremes of their behavior. 

“But I kinda like it anyways; I don't mind if this is gonna take a million days. I know you'll come around to me eventually. If you sit back, relax, and join my company, my company.” Despite their drastic shifts in personality and their apparent lack of interest in you, your heart remains unbothered. Beneath the layers of their attitude, you sense an undeniable spark of attraction that mirrors your own feelings for them. You find comfort knowing that in the depths of their soul, they share the same unspoken feelings. You are not bothered by the uncertainty; instead, it fuels your patience. You believe that this connection is strong and mutual, and that it will develop in time.

“Once you know what my love's gonna feel like. Nothing else will feel right, you can feel like.” You know that once they realize they like you the way you like them, they will entirely understand that your love is rare and precious. Nothing and no one else will be able to satisfy them or love them as you do. “Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue jeans. Dancing at the movies, 'cause it feels so.” According to Boone, moonbeam ice cream is something he invented; he thought it felt right.

“Mystical, magical

Oh, baby, 'cause once you know, once you know

My love is so mystical, magical

Oh, baby, 'cause once you know, once you know”

Your love is an enchanting blend of the mystical and the magical, a profound force that, once experienced and fully realized, leaves one with no option but to turn back. While perhaps a touch repetitive, the captivating chorus is undeniably infectious—an irresistible invitation to leap up and sing out loud with joyous ease. 

“My little hard-to-get baby; I wanna give you the world. Not saying you gotta chase me, but I wouldn't mind it.” This person enjoys playing games and tends to play hard to get. However, you are willing to give them your full, undivided attention and make your world revolve around them. You don’t need them to chase you, but you wouldn't mind engaging in the lively game they’re playing. “If you gave me just a little bit of something we can work it with, but all you do is push me out.” If only you could catch a brief glimpse of the hidden struggles that could brighten the path to understanding their stormy life. Yet, they seem competent at building barriers, easily pushing you away, their walls dense and closed, leaving you yearning for connection.

“But I like it anyways. 'Cause I think I'm getting closer to you every day. I know you'll come around to me eventually. Just sit back, relax, and join my company." Yet, there’s a part of you that enjoys how they consider you, the way you’re compelled to display the strength of a soldier just for their sake. It’s as if each act of resilience draws you closer to them, closing the distance that once seemed unattainable. You can feel the connection deepening, each moment a step closer to the bond you desire. 

"Once you know what my love's gonna feel like

Moonbeam ice cream, nothing else will feel right

Mystical, magical, oh, baby, it's mystical, magical"

The exhilarating finale of this vibrant track compels us to rise and move to Benon’s irresistibly captivating tempo. The sensation of your unique love surrounds us, creating an atmosphere that feels both mystical and magical, as we embrace the mere joy of knowing we are receiving exactly what our hearts desire.
