“Magic Woman Touch” by The Hollies

The Speaker in “Magic Woman Touch” seems to have lost his sense of emotion and most likely doesn’t feel all the butterflies that come with being in love, which is why he asks his partner to let him feel her ‘magic woman touch’.

It is evident in the second verse that not only him but his friends have noticed a change in him. In what seems to be indifference on his part, people closer to him no longer want to interact with him. This realization urges him to make a decision in the third verse to go back to the time when he felt excited about life because he was in love. He repeatedly asks his partner to cast that love spell on him once again so he can feel alive because he thinks that it is the missing link.

This track is from The Hollies’ album Romany, which Polydor Records and Epic Records released on 1 November 1972. The track most notably appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for about two months, in addition to being certified silver in New Zealand. It also made it onto the top 10 of the Dutch Top 40.
