" "
Everything on Tubular Bells was done on the first take – it was lovely, so spontaneous. I had such a long time to prepare it, and I had just one little chance to do it, and now I listen to it and it has a lovely spontaneous energy. It's got mistakes, and I could easily have cut them out, but I left them on.

Additional quotes by Mike Oldfield

How's it feel when
There's time to remember?
...Branches bare,
Like the trees in november.
Had it all,
Threw it all away;

Don't wanna know your name
You're just my lover
Just wanna spend the night
Walking beside you on the water
You look like my lover
But you're words are cold
You say words like him
But thinking has made you grow old.

I was hoping
Could you be my inspiration
Whatever should become
In the candlelight?
I was dreaming
Was it my imagination?
Tomorrow never comes
In the candlelight
