[LYRICS] This life’s not what you wanted You’re not where you thought you’d be It all got so damn complex You got sucked into tired routines You’re feeling low But you know what to do The portal is open He’s waiting for you When you can’t find your spark You can reach back through time To the child you were once With the fire inside Dreaming of stardom (you wanted) Late nights in 89 (so much more) Miming til morning (you lost it) To “If I Could Turn Back Time” You’re feeling low But you know what to do The portal is open He’s waiting for you When you can’t find your spark You can reach back through time To the child you were once With the fire inside When you can’t find your spark You can reach back through time To the child you were once With the fire inside Reach back through you Reach back through time Reach back through time.

about

When you're feeling strung out by the modern world, this quirky, uplifting synthwave ballad will get you back in touch with the spirit & excitement you felt as a child. Evoking nostalgic memories of the 80s, like miming to Cher in the mirror, it's about rediscovering that fire inside, the one you once felt when dreams of the future were full of magic and anticipation.

Reach Back Through Time is the second collaboration between Costa Rican composer/producer Walter Alienson and British singer-songwriter/producer Minute Taker. After meeting in an online synthwave fan group in 2020, they joined forces remotely to create their first irresistibly nostalgic synth-pop song Neon Lines. Released in 2021, the track celebrated how retrowave music can bring like-minded people from all over the world together in their shared love of all things 80s.

That theme is expanded upon in Reach Back Through Time, a song that seeks to reconnect you with your childhood self and all of the dreams and passions that shaped your world back then. Mixed by Matt Aslanian (Jessie Frye, Timecop1983, Ollie Wride), the song simultaneously sounds old and new, with influences from 80s synthpop like A-ha and Pet Shop Boys, along with modern synthwave like The Midnight, and even some prog rock ballads by the likes of ELO and Supertramp.
