    Aladdin and the Magician is a full-length 11‑track album released on 9 February 2026 by Phil Bowen, blending narrative themes from the Aladdin myth with contemporary songwriting and a dance‑leaning production style. It’s presented as a cohesive story arc, moving from Aladdin’s introduction through magic, danger, self‑discovery, and ultimately love.
    The project is a concept album, using the Aladdin tale as a loose narrative frame. Rather than retelling the Disney storyline, it explores emotional beats—temptation, wonder, identity, longing, and transformation—through modern arrangements.

    Lyrics:
    Verse 1
    An old man sits on the sidewalk
    With glazed stare looks right ahead
    He asks for a dime and says it’s such a long time
    Since he laid his body on a feather bed
    He says he’s one thousand miles from Texas
    One thousand miles away
    Verse 2
    The old man points to his sunken eyes
    And looks up to the cloudless sky
    He said “there’s so much in life a body can give
    I gave them so much time now they just walk by”
    He said he’s one thousand miles from Texas
    With snow falling in his mind
    Middle 8
    He says “dreams never break your heart
    And dreams never let you down
    Every time I close my eyes
    I let my mind float away”
    “Dreams never break your heart
    And dreams never lie to me
    Every time I close my eyes
    I let my mind float away again.”
    Verse 3
    So I raised out a hand and lifted him up
    I asked him his name and where he was from
    He said “son I’ve heard your voice before”
    I looked closer in his eyes. He did likewise
    He said “once I was strong but now I don’t have long
    I think you may be my long lost son.”

    Lyrics:
    Verse 1
    When the summer comes to rest
    I feel so fulfilled, I feel so blessed
    I’ve a new pair of shoes and a coat for a king
    I’ve a house I call home and a wedding ring
    Verse 2
    All those blues just float away
    This is gonna be another great day
    I can see to the future with positive thought
    From deep in the soul I thank brotherly support
    Middle 8
    Who can take away our dreams
    We work so hard like soulless machines
    Roll away the clouds let the sunshine in
    Roll away the clouds hear birds sing
    I’m just like any other
    Somewhere we have someone.
    (Last time)
    We’re all like a daughter and son
    Verse 3
    Years can come and years may go
    Seasons change from sun to snow
    I wouldn’t change a thing. That wouldn’t be me
    At last I’ve found stability.

    Lyrics: Phil Bowen
    Verse 1
    Through my eyes now I can see it all
    Through my life I see each rise and fall
    Morning sunrise to the sun going down
    Time to move on before I drown
    Verse 2
    There’s only one life but you can choose the road
    The city is fading about to implode
    Look to the future and follow your head
    And layout a path with an invisible thread
    Middle 8
    Through my eyes
    And through my mind
    All those memories
    They’re so hard to leave behind
    Verse 3
    Brother life keeps pulling; it’s in my heart
    It’s time to move on and say goodbye
    I leave a part of me with you as I depart
    We’ll always have a family tie
    Verse 4
    Through my eyes now I can see it all
    Through my life I see each rise and fall
    The waters are rising around this town
    Seems to me we’re on a countdown
    Outro
    The waters are rising around this town
    Seems to me we’re on a countdown
    The waters are rising around this town
    Seems to me we’re on a countdown

  • Another Stroll In The Park
    Another stroll in the park is another track off album number 2 in the trilogy "There to here".
    Words and music: Phil Bowen
    Guitars, keyboards and vocals: Phil Bowen
    Mixed and produced: Phil Bowen
    Lyrics:
    Verse 1
    Another stroll in the park today
    I need a little time to get away
    Working so hard from morning to night
    Those days that passed, they fade away
    Verse 2
    I thank Roger Williams for the acres of space
    I feel that I am one of the human race
    I have a place to call my own
    I have a place I call home
    And than my brother for his warm embrace
    Middle 8
    One moment I have nothing but hope
    Thinking each day, I have to jump a rope
    No more listening to those who moralise
    I see my world with new eyes
    Verse 3
    Another stroll in the park today
    I look up to the sky and watch clouds float by
    Birds, they sing as they spread their wings
    A mother calls when her children cry.

    Lyrics
    Verse 1
    Red maple leaves reflect the sunlight
    As the sun shines down, it seems so bright
    I raise myself up and collect all my thoughts
    Union station is such a good sight, hey
    Verse 2
    Betsey Willams holds out her hand
    As I step off the train onto this new land
    Well brother, it’s good to be here
    I hear your whisper in my inner year
    Chorus
    I’ve finally feet on the ground; I’m here now
    Finally, feet on the ground
    Well brother, I’m looking for you, well you said
    You’d be waiting for the train to pull in
    Middle 8
    I can see your hand wave to me
    As you stand by an old oak tree
    Hey brother, it’s been so long
    So many years have come and gone
