Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I can remember
Back in the days we walked these streets with diamonds in our eyes
Out with the vampires under a midnight sky
My mind so hypnotized
It was exciting
It was the 90s...
Momma didn’t understand it
And daddy always said that I was going too far
I said there’s never any compromising
If you’re trying to win the battle to be who you are

(Pre-Chorus)
I danced to the left, I danced to the right
Hold hands with my demons and creatures of night
On an undercover mission to find somebody else like me...

(Chorus)
Is there anybody out there?
(Woah oh oh oh!)
Is there anybody out there?
(Woah oh oh oh!)
Someone who can hear me and drink from the light
To see things from the same side
Is there anybody out there?

(Verse 2)
Five years later
I’m out with the same old faces in dead end places.
Things kept going wrong.
I’m getting to thinking my daddy was right all along
So if you take a little walk on the wild side
Be careful that you never slip your hands from the wheel
There’s never any compromising
When you’re blinded by reflections from the part of you that’s real

(Pre-Chorus)
I danced to the left, I danced to the right
Hold hands with my demons and creatures of night
On an undercover mission to find somebody else like me...

(Chorus)
Is there anybody out there?
(Woah oh oh oh)
Is there anybody out there?
(Woah oh oh oh)
Someone who can hear me and drink from the light
To see things from the same side
Is there anybody out there?

(Pre-Chorus)
I danced to the left, I danced to the right
Hold hands with my demons and creatures of night
On an undercover mission to find somebody else like me...

(Chorus)
Is there anybody out there?
(Woah oh oh oh)
Is there anybody out there?
(Woah oh oh oh)
Someone who can hear me and drink from the light
To see things from the same side
Is there anybody out there?

Somebody else like me?

“I’m getting to think my daddy was right all along” is EASILY my favorite part of this song. What a gem!

[sectorx]

This is my favourite song of 2021 so far.

[michael]

I'm dreaming of days where we didn't need a phone to stay in touch.
We went home after sunset and we meant it when we said we'll be right here tomorrow.
We shared what we had and if we had nothing we had great moments together.
Golden times, good old days.

[batangbatugan]

You play this on your phone while driving downtown on a moonlit night and as the beat builds up and music swells next thing you know you're driving a Ferrari Testarossa down a unending road bathed in majestic neon lights and the music is blasting from a cassette tape on the radio.

[cpnkitt]

Yup. I am still here.. Feel this in my soul. Thx Michael.. ❤️‍🔥 Kitt

[birdhousegypsy]

I love the energy in this song soooo much

[thetrashpanda]

I'm sitting here going "Damn! That looks like one of the over passes that run along Dupont St." Then I notice during the credits that it was filmed in Toronto. So I was right :)

[k.burton]

Wow -- somebody's talking about a time in my teenage years! Ah, the 90's...

[martinplata]

this music it's awesome... I'm 44 and I love this music, and I'm so happy that people like Michael Oakley keep this music alive.

[BizzyIT]

We need to put this girl in every video!

[Spit]

Europop and synthwave? Ermmm yes PLEASE

[srlucado]

[Big_Dai]

I've never really cared for" people", only the things they make. But Michael.. I really respect.

[rzuru]

Damn, i think Michael is way too underrated on the scene! Both whole Odyssey and Introspect albums are incredible!

Sempre fantastico!!!! Il mio attuale artista preferito. Stasera comprerò il vinile!!!!

[Nmbjap]
