    "Magic Touch" is a single by musician Mike Oldfield, released in 1988 (see 1988 in music). It is from the album Islands.

    Charts

    The song charted at number 10 on the US Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart.

    Release details

    It was only released in the USA, Germany and Australia. The music video for this single was directed by Alex Proyas. The video for the song was available on The Wind Chimes and Elements.

    Vocalists

    The original mix features Max Bacon on vocals. This version does not appear on the European releases of the Islands album, due to Max Bacon still being under contract to Arista Records at the time. However, Bacon's vocals do appear on the US album version, which was not released until 1988 in an attempt to capitalize on Bacon's familiarity to US audiences as the vocalist of GTR . The UK album version features Jim Price on vocals.

    Artwork

    The single's artwork differed in the UK and US. The UK artwork showed Oldfield standing on a blue background, covered in shadows of hands. The US artwork is in a similar style to the album cover, showing hands rising out of the ocean.

    Magic Touch

    by: Mike Oldfield

    Once in a lifetime you find that power
    to break out and run from the devils deep clutch
    all that you need its the finest hour
    is to believe in the Magic Touch
    Chorus
    A thief in the night, love steals you far away
    A thief in the night, love takes your breath away
    Can't believe it, like no other
    Love is a gift and to take you so much
    You need the blue night to discover
    Only true lovers have the Magic Touch
    Once in a lifetime you find that faith
    when your under the spell and it takes control
    everything round you just falls in place
    and all that you touch seems to turn to gold
