It seems it’s been forever since the last time
We were joined together singing in rhyme.
Always a group endeavor, we know our lines.
It’s hard to say I’m doing fine
‘Cause I miss how our voices blend,
When singing with my friends,
Wishing the night would never end.
Those nights are not to miss, that magic energy
Forming friendships and patronus memories.
It’s always worth the trip to hear familiar melodies.
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be.
The day approaches oh so slow,
But oh how my need grows,
To be jumping and dancing and singing along
To songs that everyone knows
And it goes:
CHORUS
Whoa whoa whoa-a-a x3
I feel it in my soul, the magic of rock and roll
I just really really miss wizard rock shows.
Whether jamming irl or online,
I know we’ll have a good time
Joined together all in song,
Oh we could go all night long.
We’ll be laughing and clapping and playing along
To songs that everyone knows
And it goes:
CHORUS
We feel it in our souls, the magic of rock and roll
Oh, we really really miss wizard rock shows.
And I think it’s safe to say,
We’re all waiting for that day.
But until we get there this can be our song,
I hope that you’ll sing along.
You know it goes:
CHORUS x2
We really really miss,
When we return it’ll be such bliss,
But until then, we’ll have to miss
Wizard rock shows.

This is a wildly uneven, unpredictable collection. And that is as it should be. From spoken word to rap to singer/songwriter acoustic to hard rock, this has at least one song for everyone. John Gaunt
