Poets should be studying this album; in particular, brutal romantic and je suis pret. She utilizes poetic devices in such a unique and incredible way, yet maintains a secret meaning in her songs that leaves us all itching for more.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. -John 3: 16 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. -John 14: 6
Why does a singer have to sing about her faith only? How silly! She is a great thinker thus a great song writer. Her voice is way out there on a scale of GREAT!! Love her! Love this CD! Keep it up Brooke you are a great entertainer. You are a blessed woman with music I hope you are blessed with God's love, wisdom and faith. All the best to you.
A singer doesn't have to sing about her faith, when you know God and love him, you use your skills to worship him only, the world isn't important for you anymore, you sing with your heart and your heart belongs to God for what else would you sing?!
@@andreherrera6689 your words are from humans wisdom not from God. You say Music is an art, but do you know who created it and why he created it?! I strongly recommend that you ask yourself those questions and look for the answer.
@@niklausossamyfatherson7547 not all of us of that faith brother. And I'm sorry but I truly believe my music is the expression of my soul, and it comes from me. Not being of faith, it's kind of my way of praying. I really only read the New Testament, it's truly amazing how many common sayings come from the Bible. But definitely always stick up for what you believe. I still have respect for a lot of the teachings though. I don't know if you saw Prince Charles Christmas speech, when the Queen of England was sick. He said we have to unite and accept each other the way we are and each other's beliefs, legend, I hope that can happen 1 day. I know you possibly don't believe the same as me, but I mean absolutely no offence. Namaste, God Bless. ( and Namaste means a lot of things, including complete respect ).🙏:)
This song showcases the insane songwriting and artistry Brooke possesses. Singing about an inanimate object and being able to give it a soul. I LOVE this Brooke! You go girl!
While any literary work is open for many interpretations, what I think about Magical Machine tho is that this song is simply all about her and her songs in her albums. Knowing that she's a Christian artist, it's easy to assume that all of her songs have Gospels in them but in truth, it's not always the case (as in Something in the Water where Brooke said it herself that it's just a feel-good song about playing with water and has no intended message on Christianity). Going back to the meaning of this song, it's simply a metaphor. Brooke is basically saying that she is our magical machine for thru the lyrics of her songs, our eyes are opened to the many truths (about social and moral issues and Christianity among others) that we haven't noticed or tend to ignore. Her melodies take us to "different worlds" as if by magic. The interpretation that purports this as simply a metaphor is evident in the lines like "I'm your MP3, I get sad when you don't pay for me". The bridge: "I'm wires and welding, preset to Auto but if I wasn't you would never know" is prolly all about how her real voice doesn't sound any different from her autotuned voice.
After having listened (many, many times) to her albums, I finally realized that what I heard was a nice mélange of Sarah McLachlan, Wendy Lands, Paula Cole, Natalie Imbruglia amongst others...and in this one, I tend to hear Kate Bush singing 'Running up That Hill'.
Brooke really traveled outside her comfort zone for the Brutal romantic album as well as with her succeeding singles afterhand, and it's one of the reasons why she is still one my musical heroes
I loved the more clearly Christian music that Brooke once made (and i'm sure will make again someday) but I also absolutely adore this new sound. I'm sort of proud of a person i don't know for trying something new. This is really lovely and the video is great too.
What IS christian music exactly? Lyrics or the instruments (just curious). She's exploring electronica. And has made an amazingly smooth transition. She never ceases to impress me with her talent.
Magical how vast the expanse of our planetary confinement is. Similar to the idea that confine seems to make it feel small while vast enhances its utter boundlessness.
Brooke Fraser is an evolving artist who has begun to explore a new soundscape. A new sound requires a different category of images conveying the emotion, message, etc. of the song. That is probably the reason why her new videos are so different from the previous ones. I applaud her creativity cause to me her videos are pure art and this song in particular is on repeat! :-)
The bible says in all things, give praise. God is a jealous God and will not share His glory with anyone. Use the talent/gift He has blessed you with to bring praise too his name! All glory should go to JESUS
+Jennine Lee As long as you don't let music that's not Christian take or lead your heart away from Jesus. It's okay listen to it. Just cause you listen to it don't mean you have to reflect the way the singer is living. Now any Christian would know stay away from Lady Gaga music. But this song here of Brooke Fraser not evil. Jesus given me peace to listen to it. As long as i feel peace from the Lord about it. I'm going listen to it. But for me most of the stuff i listen to is Christian Music. Cause Christian Music is the best that there is.
I'm your telescope Help you see other worlds up close I'm your submarine You'll explore where you've never been I'm your ticking clock Hold my hands and the time will stop I'm your megaphone Turn you up 'til the neighbours moan Power me on Light on demand I'm your magical machine We can dream digital dreams Power me on Control and command I'm your magical machine I'll be yours if you let me I'm your MRI Show you what's going on inside I'm your ATM Take what you like my supply won't end I'm your MP3 I get sad when you don't pay for me I'm your IED Carry me very carefully Power me on Light on demand I'm your magical machine We can dream digit dreams Power me on Control and command I'm your magical machine I'll be yours if you…
Christians that are overly religious, yes. Brooke herself is Christian and Brutal Romantic does point back to Christ but just indirectly. Her lyrics aren't blasphemy, they have a good meaning and people have felt His presence through these songs from that album so what are we moaning about here? And her songs have always been about Him indirectly so they really should stop.
Best track from the Brutal Romantic Album. The lyrics are beautifully written, and how the video frames matches with each lines of the song. Once again she proved she is genius in writing song that matches both genres and the sound of the Brutal Romantic
This morning I felt my spirit was low then I decided to listen to this songs am lifted spiritually, mentally and Physically.Trusting God to heal my Mum and Dad
Brooke is so beautiful, I love how she embraces herself when she has features that might be typically rejected by hollywood. But I think that is what makes her so gorgeous!
2018.. I'm just proud to have a person to listen to like Brooke. Her music takes me out of this world and I bless God for her. I am grateful that she never held back when making this and went all out regardless of the conforms people try to constrain her with.. I 💜you Brooke!
she's a very intelligent person. Her song writing reflects her intelligence. Thought provoking all clothed in a stylish new pop sound. Brilliance! the song is very beautiful too.
Lamounier Soares lol, you got me on that as well. Just shows how many people make the mistake of seeing a few words instead of actually reading or hearing the full thing a person says and pouncing on them. Brooke is amazing. Going to see her in London soon and canny wait :-) God Bless
The chorus vaguely reminds me of Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush. Brooke is one New Zealand's many national treasures! She's absolutely amazing live !❤
I love her music and her style, her passion and her sincerity. We can try to judge her and find some way of looking down on her as a sell out but maybe instead as christians we should see the deeper side of things. Sometimes people are growing and the roots are getting deeper and who are we to say that a tree is dead when it just maybe the season in which leaves are falling and when the seasons change, something even more beautiful will be seen. God knows her heart and the beauty that lies within that beautiful passion she has for the saviour :) Bless you all!
I am in love with this beautiful lady's music. Like her worship music. Love her solo work. Truly thoughtful lyrics, great music and what a voice! Thank you Brooke for being true to your art.
I like it how you gave the song a few extra touches for the video. Incredible. Wish this was the album version. Nonetheless, incredible song and incredible video.
The song seems to be about the dangers of being consumed by technology. I’m your telescope Help you see other worlds up close I’m your submarine You’ll explore where you’ve never been I’m your ticking clock Hold my hands and the time will stop I’m your megaphone Turn you up ‘til the neighbours moan Power me on Light on demand I’m your magical machine We can dream digital dreams Power me on Control and command I’m your magical machine I’ll be yours if you let me I’m your MRI Show you what’s going on inside I’m your ATM Take what you like my supply won’t end I’m your MP3 I get sad when you don’t pay for me I’m your IED Carry me very carefully Power me on Light on demand I’m your magical machine We can dream digit dreams Power me on Control and command I’m your magical machine I’ll be yours if you let me I’m wires and welding Preset to auto But if I wasn’t you would never know I’m wires and welding Preset to auto But if I wasn’t you would never know Power me on Light on demand I’m your magical machine We can dream digit dreams Power me on Control and command I’m your magical machine I’ll be yours if you let me
So i say Thank you for the Lyrics The Song She's singing Thanx for all the joy it's bringing Having the lyrics wriyten out makes it so much better to understand for one who is not native english. Thanx once more Never heard of her before Now i'll click for an encore!
Oh yes! Such a outstanding song and a coolest music video. It reminds me of going on a movie like doing a ice-skating, people going on the space and I hear the orchestra (strings) on the background. Well Done!
One of my favourite tracks from BF's much underrated 'Brutal Romantic' album. So Brooke decided 2 go 4 a different sound-GET OVER IT PPL..! That's what artists do-THEY CHANGE..! Imagine if she decided 2 do another 'There's Something In The Water' type of song. More than likely everybody would be complaining then how all of her songs sound the same
Poets should be studying this album; in particular, brutal romantic and je suis pret. She utilizes poetic devices in such a unique and incredible way, yet maintains a secret meaning in her songs that leaves us all itching for more.
Brutal Romance is one of the best songs written.
@Kolbe. Very nice comment
I am way to blown by her writings. And I am grateful to God for this privilege to learn from her writings.
Same with Psychosocial . Both video and lyrics. Really interesting with its hiding sense
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. -John 3: 16
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. -John 14: 6
One of the best female vocalists of our generation.
Why does a singer have to sing about her faith only? How silly! She is a great thinker thus a great song writer. Her voice is way out there on a scale of GREAT!! Love her! Love this CD! Keep it up Brooke you are a great entertainer. You are a blessed woman with music I hope you are blessed with God's love, wisdom and faith. All the best to you.
it is not bad to hear secular music, it is not bad also to create secular songs while being a christian :). Music is an art
Yeah, i agree with you. Music Is a way yo express
A singer doesn't have to sing about her faith, when you know God and love him, you use your skills to worship him only, the world isn't important for you anymore, you sing with your heart and your heart belongs to God for what else would you sing?!

I really wish she made more music.
My Favorite songs will forever be Brutal Romantic and Magical Machine🥰
Why isn't this song more popular??!
This song showcases the insane songwriting and artistry Brooke possesses. Singing about an inanimate object and being able to give it a soul. I LOVE this Brooke! You go girl!
I think she's talking about the way we ca't live without technology . We believe it will give us more than our reality
Karis Nyambe Thanks for pointing that out! I never thought of it that way, but the bridge lyrics definitely support your case.

@@ROCKheir Her music has good messages. Leave her be.
This song should have a billion views
Loveeeee her nose. Brooke youre incredible!

Brooke is a general of God. I'm thankful for her example in my life. Faith and honor. #JESUSISLORD

***** Lyrics
steph895 I actually would never listen to her if she was still singing only christian music. I despise religion.
Your prayers have been answered she wrote a powerful song What a Beautiful Name Hillsong Worship
I swear, this has better green screen stuff then Ariana Grandes 'Break Free' music video.. ROFL

You hereee! This video was added to my fave ones!

Brutal Romance and New Year's Eve are my favorites
Kings and Queens is my favourite

💫Brooke💋Fraser💫 stepped out from her comfort zone with this album 🎶🎧🎶
A brutally underrated song from an overlooked era 🌟🤩🌟
Brooke is so beautiful, I love how she embraces herself when she has features that might be typically rejected by hollywood. But I think that is what makes her so gorgeous!
2022
I still love her voice
2018..
I'm just proud to have a person to listen to like Brooke. Her music takes me out of this world and I bless God for her. I am grateful that she never held back when making this and went all out regardless of the conforms people try to constrain her with.. I 💜you Brooke!
Truly a huge fan words cannot describe the authenticatness. A true artist
she's a very intelligent person. Her song writing reflects her intelligence. Thought provoking all clothed in a stylish new pop sound. Brilliance! the song is very beautiful too.

You both have points, and like you said God only knows our hearts and our motives.

this video actually makes the song better so beautifully done
beautiful song. I have listened to it probably 50 times in the past week.
Uma maravilhosa obra de arte de Brooke, genial.

So underrated
I like it how you gave the song a few extra touches for the video. Incredible. Wish this was the album version. Nonetheless, incredible song and incredible video.
This has to be my favorite song off Brutal Romantic. I LOVE THIS SONG.
You can didn't get the gramy, but you have our love, admiration and respect; one more time you and Scott make me so proud, love you
Her new songs are so catchy...they are really growing on me
Brooke Frasier keepin' it fresh! Love her!
I'm so glad you decided to do a video for this song! I love the subtle differences in the vocals that you added as well.
❤️I love her music 🤗
Awesome Album...first time hearing this. More people need to hear this!
I love how Space shuttles, the ISS, lift off and landing are so beautifully crafted into this video. Superb brooke!!!! Love the song and the vid.
I heard her say the song means that there is more to us than meets the eye.
I love the Extra drums, and vocal layers that have been added. The visuals are amazing as well! Go Brooke!
My favorite track on the cd. This should have been played all over secular stations but since she is a devout Christian, didn't.
I want this version of the song!!
*ERMERGHERD*
BrookeFraserVEVO
Your vocals are out of this world.
Love this Brooke!
I have to say, this version of the song is so very much better than the album version. I wish I could get this on Spotify instead of the current.
love the visual! sounds like this mix has extra drums & a second layer of vocals. love both versions
On my Brutal Romantic Compact Disc its track 8 "Magical Machine" by Brooke Fraser - my take on its meaning. Pressing play on this record all the time.
I love the diversity of music this musician produces. Wonderful stuff, Brooke! Loved this the first time. (which never happens)!
En cualquiera de tus facetas, Brooke Fraser me gusta tu música y obra.
Es muy pro! ⚡
Quem está escutando essa obra de arte em 2022 ? ❤
I'm listening as a 58 year old Marine.
This is one of my favorite songs on the album. She is SO talented!!
I love this song and the video just really does make it all magical Brooke.
Great song! I like it very much! Wish You the best Brooke! Keep on doing what You like! :)
Why isn't this version available anywhere? Can't even find it on Spotify! Argh!
i love this cinematic mix a whole lot more!!! it's quite aggressive and reaches the points of her lyric across more effectively.
I`AM LOVE YOU BROOKE FRASER . Perfect
I love this song ❤❤❤
She revealed the good and the bad of techology. Nice brooke
Brooke eres la mejor !! me encanta,super genial ... !
I Love Hossana Song I Really Love It So Much
All glory must be given to the only one and true God, Jesus Christ. I used to listen to her christian songs, but to whom this song is dedicated?
Iqbal Wong maybe her hubby ?
It technically is but indirectly. It talks about the dangers of technology. This song isn't for her lover.
So creative you are, Brooke Fraser! I love your voice and songs!!! Greetings from Brazil!
The song seems to be about the dangers of being consumed by technology.
I’m your telescope
Help you see other worlds up close

Thanx for all the joy it's bringing
Having the lyrics wriyten out makes it so much better to understand for one who is not native english.
Thanx once more
Never heard of her before
Now i'll click for an encore!
One of my favorite songs from Brutal Romantic. Love the echo treatment you gave to the song.
Cool song! Finally found something to sing for my voice assessment!
I am Inspired
Brooke sempre arrasando,curti muito a música
Amo esta canción! Una de las mejores del álbum.
Blown Away!
LOVE THIS SONG!!! :)
i've heard this a long time but it's nice to see the video too
Estou surtando!!
Demais, arrasou Brooke :)
oooooh beautiful voice it set me free!
much love for you fraser
Brooke pode fazer o que quiser, por favor né hahaha
Oh yes! Such a outstanding song and a coolest music video. It reminds me of going on a movie like doing a ice-skating, people going on the space and I hear the orchestra (strings) on the background. Well Done!
the more u sing more evolution, very good this new album 🙌
One of my favourite tracks from BF's much underrated 'Brutal Romantic' album. So Brooke decided 2 go 4 a different sound-GET OVER IT PPL..! That's what artists do-THEY CHANGE..! Imagine if she decided 2 do another 'There's Something In The Water' type of song. More than likely everybody would be complaining then how all of her songs sound the same
The song on Stranger Things sounds similar. Great work Brooke!!
O vídeo combinou com você (brocadora das galáxias), você é uma benção na minha vida Brooke, ouço o dia todo.
Simply awesome.
I love your music
Beyond Amazing
this radio edit is amazing!!!
She needs to sign the next bond song, if she is worthy ;)
The eye of Horus is right there in your face. No more Hillsong for me.
She was in Hillsong when you wrote this
