Michael Oakley - Turn Back Time (Official Music Video)

Lyrics:
It's been a rough year
Love hasn't been on my side
The sun's forgotten to shine
Lately in my sky
But I'm remembering who I am
A part of me once lost
I realize the things
That mean to me the most.
I put the radio on
And I'm playing our songs
I think about you as I'm driving home
And wonder how two people so right are apart
‘Cause I remember when we danced all night
You were laughing and we felt alive
I should've taken the moment
When it was right.
Now I’m wishing I could turn back time
You should be
You should be mine.
And now you're someone else
A pretender to the throne
He'll promise you the world
But make you feel alone
He doesn't know who you are
No not the way I do
I'm the one disguised
Here right in front of you.
I'm still hoping that you will call
And tell me you and him are through when he falls
And that you wanna to ride out off into the sun
We'll go out and dance the whole night
You'll be laughing and feel so alive
I'll never let that moment
Slip again.
Cause I’m
Wishing I could turn back time
You should be
You should be mine
I’m wishing you were here tonight
You are the one that makes me feel
Feel so alive
Cause I’m
Wishing I could turn back time
You should be
You should be mine
I’m wishing you were here tonight
You are the one that makes me feel
Feel so alive

Until a few minutes ago, I had thought this song was about a break up. After watching this video, I see what it is about and I find myself unable to leave my chair, flooded with memories. February 2019 I lost my girlfriend of three years. It was sudden and very sad. The first year and half was really difficult for me. I used to go out for a run back then and had this song on repeat in my playlist. It helped me. Now, almost three more years have passed, I am able to talk about it and I see this video for the first time. This song is special to me. I am happy you included it in your album Four. Thank you.

[@lukeleichtenstern3819]

When I first saw this video, the ending terrified me. I never wanted to live that nightmare. Now that it's become a reality, this song became a lot harder to listen to. I lost my ex last year to this day. A day I will never forget. I miss you so much, Baby Adri💜🖤

[@P_Blake]

I just discovered Michael Oakley. I’ve had this song on repeat for the past month. It just makes me so happy 💜

[@alvarorestrepo8250]

January 2024, here we are, enjoying this great music, thanks michael

[@mercythebuzzard3134]

I've been listening to your music for years and have just now seem this video. I'm bawling my eyes out now as this completely encapsulates my last big relationship. We'd travel and make art together, I've never felt as close to another human. She died in a car crash a few years ago. It's always going to hurt. I'm always going to miss you, Brittney I love you Michael, thank you.

[@jpnavarromusic]

Man, that was incredible. I didn't grew up in the 80's, I was born in 1991, when some of the echoes of that decade were still ringing. The younger version of myself is jumping out of pure joy deep inside in my heart. Thank you for that, Mr. Oakley. :)

[@mylifepart2]

80s was great...I was there..and it was awesome..the music...the love...the young people running around..the colours..neon laces...bikes...jackets...all that...

[@ForestFan751]

Upon hearing this the first time I thought to myself how did I don't remember this song coming out in the 80s . I throught for sure this song had to be at least 35 yrs old. That wonderful 80s retro mystic feel to it and I instantly fell in love with this tune . Now at the end of the video I'm bawling 😭

[@RoyalFlushFan]

I first saw Michael Oakley three and a half years ago in Toronto, when he stood in as a last-minute replacement opening act for the FM-84 show I was going to. Been following him and his music ever since. He must also have played “Turn back Time”. And it’s this song that really hit home with me, still does. It's this song will always remind of the one woman that I wished I could turn back time on. The one that got away. Whose feelings towards me I had crushed a few months earlier. By being too afraid, inexperienced and immature to open up to her. I met her, for the first time in a few months, the very next day after the concert. That’s when she told how me she’d move on with her new man. They’re getting married today.

[@stu1701E]

💔 Sympathy for your situation. Mine is a similar story. After 8 years, starting to think it's something you never truly get over, but learn to live with. It's these things that make us who we are.

[@fajnygrabarz]

I love this song. Thank you!

[@user-th5op9mi8o]

Absolute poetry that breaks my heart with every second it plays😢thank you sooooo much for making this song im fucking crying😢

[@doghead87]

This really hit me in the heart. My friend Michelle died in a car wreck the summer before freshman year. We were really close. Part of me thinks there could have been a romance, but we never found out. Thanks for the song and video. It really helped me today.

Hi Michael, what a contagious 80's music... I love this song so much.

[@cdcarter143]

Just now heard this song for the first time. And all I can say is. . . WoW 🤩 I’m an 80’s kid and this song definitely wins the bid! Great song!!!

[@paulsmith9192]

@cdcarter143 I wonder who the female is in the video? His wife or an actress? Did she really, pass?

[@rhuneanwyvern3217]

I'm 27 years and with this I feel the 80's in my ears, i love retrowave and synthwave because i obviously love the 80's music thanks to my dad. In my opinion Michael Oakley is one of the best artist of this music gender and nowadays music you can to listen as well...This is a masterpiece... (Pd: Delorean 😍) Loves from Mexico. Thanks for your beautiful music Michael.

[@eskokomero]

An amazing song! Spotted this one on the FB wall of a fellow who was barely even born in the 1980s. I was back then already "a fully-grown man" and would do anything to get back to those days! This song is, of course, also quite sad and reminds me of my dear old friend Ylermi who passed away in August 1984. Love from Finland! -E.K.

[@tumbleweed9977]

Awesome song, I really like the melody and 80s style! The video hits pretty hard. I picked up on the hints but the ending still was a gut punch. It reminded me of the video for Martina McBride and Jim Brickman's "Valentine".

[@paullunardelli3279]

Saw this song on a stream and the chorus just got me. Love that feeling when you discover a new song.

[@Seabeejim133]

1972, I was a sophomore in high school and that was the last time, till now, that I listened to a "heart song" such as this. This is a beautiful story that flows through my heart like a warm breeze. Thank you for taking me back to 1972.
