- The idea for the song came from a scene in the Highlander movie, when Connor McLeod get’s shot by a German soldier, while he’s holding a little girl Rachel (who became his assisten later on), so he falls down,but he isn’t death and the girl askes him “why didn’t you die” he reply’s “hey, It’s a kind of magic”
- This song talks about something we all have inside (the bell that rings inside your mind), some sort of inherent magical sense (I´m hearing secret harmonies), that lets us know that things could be better, and that it’s up to us (a golden glance of what should be). It could be seen as some sort of divine illumiantion, the feeling that makes you see that there is something greater, something eternal (lasts a thousand years, challenges the doors of time, the waiting seems eternity), that kind of sets the order of things, and through connecting with this kind of magic, you could have a glimpse of what should be. It also is optimistic since it says that rage will soon be done, and the day will dawn os sanity when the eternal wait ands.
- Highlander is a 1986 fantasy action-adventure film directed by Russell Mulcahy and based on a story by Gregory Widen. The film chronicles the climax of an ages-old war between immortal warriors, depicted through interwoven past and present-day storylines.
