ABOUT THIS TRACK
Imagine a dreamy, magical universe created by an intensely alluring and expressive vocal, evocatively accompanied by a vintage piano and beautiful out-of-this-world strings, arousing joyful shivers down your spine…
These days, you might hear the word just before a magician pulls a rabbit out of his hat. But in ancient times, people actually believed that “Abracadabra” was a magic spell – meaning something along the lines of “I create what I speak”.
"Abracadabra" is also the title of a song performed by Claudia Campagnol in this year's 'Dansk Melodi Grand Prix' (the Danish selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2021).
The song is a simple, yet grand and spiritual love story about losing someone – perhaps suddenly and without warning. It makes you wonder what you would do, if you could see that person just one more time – this time knowing that it would be your last moment together.
"Abracadabra" embraces the painful feeling of knowing that someone or something is gone forever, and you simply just NEED them to come back one last time.

LYRICS
I’ll tell you something only we know
When leaves are falling and the wind blows
Into the light, even at night
We’re sailing on the sea in motion
Bittersweet and kind of frozen
Into the light, even at night
Baby, my baby come sit here with me
Watching the sunset, no talk
Maybe, just maybe you don’t have to leave
And maybe it never gets dark
Abracadabra come back to me
Abracadabra is what I need
Wonder how you are
Wonder if your heart's breaking like mine
Wonder where you are
Wish upon a star, say we’ll be fine
Living like there’s no tomorrow
Break and bend the time we borrow
All in the light, into the night
Baby, my baby come sit here with me
Watching the sunset, no talk
Maybe, just maybe you don’t have to leave
And maybe it never gets dark
Abracadabra come back to me
Abracadabra is what I need
Wonder how you are
Wonder if your heart's breaking like mine
Wonder where you are
Wish upon a star, say we’ll be fine
Wonder where you are
Wish upon a star
Find my lonely heart still beating
Gotta carry on, carry you along
Still beating, still beating
Abracadabra
Come back to me
