This record is about tapping back into my own magic. Remembering that the mud I came from gave me flavor, gave me favor, and helped me build brick roads that led somewhere real.

Some of those roads were beautiful. Some were dark. But every one of them was golden because I built them with my own hands, my own heart, my own magic. Magic Man is a reminder to trust your process. To honor where you’ve been. To recognize that even the messy parts shaped the masterpiece.

If you’ve ever doubted your glow, this one’s for you.
If you’ve ever had to rebuild, reroute, or re-believe welcome home.

🎶 Written & performed by Noa James
🧱 Built from experience, gratitude, and intention

"Let You In" Lyrics:

Said oh honey  
I found a way to let you in  
But you take my pain I did not know a thing or two  
Say oh honey 
I found a way to let you in  
But you take my, my, my, my pain away  
  
No I cannot find a reason not to stay 
No I will not find a reason to keep your number saved  
  
No I will not find a reason to play this game  
Until I find you 
Until I find you, oh you don’t know the way  
  
Ohhhh, ohh ahhhhhh 
Ohhhh, ohh ahhhhhh 
  
Ohhhh, ohh ahhhhhh 
Ohhhh, ohh ahhhhhh 
  
Said oh baby  
Where did you go when i was feeling kind of low 
I did not know you’d gone away  
  
Said oh honey 
I’m feeling kind of into you 
  
But you don’t take my pain away no more  
I can’t do these things no more  
  
No I cannot find a reason not to stay 
No I will not find a reason to keep your number saved  
  
No I will not find a reason to play this game  
Until I find you 
Until I find you, oh you don’t know the way 
  
Ooh, ohh ahhhhhh 
Ahhhh, ohh ahhhhhh 
  
Ooh, ohh ahhhhhh 
Ahhhh, ohh ahhhhhh 
  
Guitar Solo  
  
Ooh, ohh ahhhhhh 
Ahhhh, ohh ahhhhhh 
 
Ooh, ohh ahhhhhh 
Ahhhh, ohh ahhhhhh
