In a Rolling Stones UK interview from late September, the interviewer stated that “Back to the Future” is one of the track titles off Give Me the Future:
A small snippet of the song was teased on BBC Radio 4 on February 1st.
[Verse 1]
Feels like we danced into a nightmare
We're living 1984
If doublethink's no longer fiction
We'll dream of Huxley's Island shores
[Pre-Chorus]
Waking life, it lets us down
So close your eyes and melt away
[Chorus]
In the middle of the night, I can dream away
Change what I like and go back to the future again
In the middle of the night, gonna scream your name
Bring you to life then go back to the future again
[Post-Chorus]
In the middle of the night, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
[Verse 2]
Now that reality's distorted
Can we just Blade Run-Run away
Back into some imagined future
Let's tap our heels three times and pray
[Pre-Chorus]
Uh, waking life, it lets us down
So close your eyes and melt away
[Chorus]
In the middle of the night, I can dream away
Change what I like and go back to the future again
In the middle of the night, gonna scream your name
Bring you to life then go back to the future again
[Post-Chorus]
In the middle of the night, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
In the middle of the night, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
[Bridge]
Hey, uh, uh
Uh, take me back to the future
Uh, take me back to the future
Uh, take me back to the future
Uh, take me back to the future
Uh, let's go back to the future
Uh, let's go back to the future
[Chorus]
In the middle of the night, can I dream away?
Bring you to life then go back to the future again
[Post-Chorus]
In the middle of the night, ah-ooh, ah-ooh (In the middle of the night)
In the middle of the night, ah-ooh, ah-ooh
Bastille released Back to the Future on Fri Feb 04 2022.
I fucking love this song, and it’s another one that I wrote in that evening with Rami. It nods to quite a lot of sci-fi. I guess it’s a song about this madness of reality at the moment and how tempting it is to want to escape somewhere and fantasise that you can jump back in time and fix things and...
