One verifiable anecdote about 'Magic' by Coldplay is that the song was originally intended to be a throwaway track on their album Ghost Stories. However, after lead singer Chris Martin came up with the piano progression, the band realized it had potential and they spent months working on it. It ended up becoming the lead single from the album and reaching number 10 on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart.
