Song Review
Another tune tonight from the Vancouver-based indie-rock band Said the Whale. The Magician (Camilo) is the opening track off the band’s most recent EP The Magician, released in May of this year; The song is also expected to be included on the band’s sophomore full-length effort Islands Disappear. According to the band’s website, mixing of the new album will begin on August 17 with an expected release date of October 13. On an interesting side-note, Islands Disappear is being produced by Howard Redekopp, who was behind previous Tegan and Sara and The New Pornographers releases.
Honestly, I know you like to keep a mystery
But there’s this girl I know who’s sad you see
And I’d like to show her life ain’t always real
Camilo that’s where you come in my friend
Show me your secrets show me all of them
I promise I won’t say a word again
And as long as I’m alive I’ll be the best that I can be
Ca-Ca-Ca-Camilo
I need to see where you make that card go
‘Cus I got some questions about the world I know
And about the difference between real and show
Camilo
Watch my eyes, put a coin in your hand now and squeeze real tight
I’ll make both sides and so will you decide
You’ll have complete control of your whole life
Camilo that’s where you come in
Be my assistant be my right hand man
We’ll find a place between fact and fiction
And as long as they don’t know we’ll be the masters of pretend
Ca-Ca-Ca-Camilo
I need to see where you make that card go
‘Cus I got some questions about the world I know
And about the difference between real and show
Camilo
Caroline, I saw your disbelief you’re mystified
Understandably, and so am I
Let’s make like enemies and diss a peer
Camilo
I need to see where you make that card go
‘Cus I got some questions about the world I know
And about the difference between real and show
Camilo, Camilo
