 A Kind of Magic (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Kind of Magic is a pop rock song written by Roger Taylor for the film Highlander, for which Queen wrote the music.
The phrase "a kind of magic" is actually used in the film by Christopher Lambert and impressed Taylor so much that he made it into a full song.
The song was a Top 10 hit in the UK in 1986 and was a live favourite on the tour of the same year, which proved to be Queen's last with the original foursome.

 Behind the Screen: It's a Kind of Magic ...
There are many ways to incorporate magic into a story arc, and you'll want to do so in a way that works best for your particular campaign.
In those stories, the reader is never really sure whether the magic is real, or whether it's all just creepy atmosphere and theatrics with a few freakish monsters thrown in for spice.
This kind of model does add a lot of distinctiveness to the texture of magic in the campaign world, but it is easy to see how this could quickly get out of hand.

By the release of 1986's A Kind of Magic, Queen's stature as a prominent rock band in the U.S. had slipped considerably, while in all other parts of the world (especially Europe), they remained superstar hitmakers.
It may not have been as cohesive as some of their other albums, but A Kind of Magic was their best work in some time.

"A Kind Of Magic" is, for me, the beginning of Queen on the upswing -- this album, and the ones after it, are much better (IMHO) than the albums they released after 1977.
The first three tracks are perfect, one vision, A kind of magic, and one year of love are brilliant.
"A Kind of Magic" is perhaps their best album of the '80's, mainly because of its connection with "Highlander," one of the best films of the decade.

A Kind Of Magic would mark a short-lived return to greatness for Queen, which would be cut short only by Freddie Mercury's tragic passing away a few years later.
A Kind Of Magic is where this short-lived era of greatness began.

Without the least inkling of a double meaning, he could cast one of his "damsels" in a love scene with Jack Frost:
For a period between the wars, De la Mare was one of the nation's favourite poets and storytellers - he is just the kind of writer of whom one can use such a phrase - but few read him now.
Poems such as "Kings and Queens" from the dawn of his career, and "O Lovely England" from its twilight years, discomfit modern readers; worse, they bore them.

A KIND OF MAGIC primarily functioned as a musical backdrop for the movie HIGHLANDER, but unlike Queen's other motion picture soundtrack (1980's FLASH GORDON), the album doesn't contain a single instrumental--they're all fully realized songs.
Although it's not quite on par with their time-honored offerings from the '70s and didn't chart well in the States, A KIND OF MAGIC still contains more than a few classic Queen tracks.
For those who doubted Queen could still compose rip-roaring heavy metal, the lead-off track, "One Vision," silenced such concerns once and for all.
