The only examples of magical singing in mythology I can think of now, besides the Sirens, is of Aonghus, the Celtic equiavalent of Eros who could calm rough seas with his rather whimisical singing and Orpheus who could move even inanimate objects by playing his Lyra and singing.
I believe that not only is laughter the music of the soul but also song, as it can express what words cannot, reveal emotions and feelings and stir courage, hope and bravery in the face of oppression.And that in itself is magic.
