Available on all major streaming and download platforms from Friday 12 December, My Time Machine is the new single by Gaetano Moragaswho last October 21st performed on the stage of the Fabrique in Milan as the opening act of the concert Calum Scott (we talked about it here).
Written by Maurizio Bernacchia And Patrizio Baùthe song is an intense pop ballad, led by the piano, born from the need to open the drawer of memories, embrace the past and take it with us into the future.
In fact, My Time Machine speaks of gratitude, of small new awarenesses and of the desire that, at least once in our lives, each of us has expressed: being able to go back in time to change something or be able to say goodbye to someone.
“The time – sometimes – run away, heals or hurts. In this song I tried to hold it in my hands and transform it into a hug that reaches where words don't reach.
This song came at a time when I needed to really listen to myself. I didn't look for him, he came to me. And I haven't taken it off me since.
2025 has given me a lot, but it has taken just as much from me. I have learned to caress my fragility, instead of fighting them, and from there my true rebirth began: emotional, physics and artistic“, explained Gaetano about the song.
Then, he added: “This song was born from the universal desire to be able to go back even for just an hour. To apologize, to say 'I love you', to thank someone or, simply, to hold the hand of someone who is no longer here.”
And here it is”when I sing the chorus ('Now that you're not here, life isn't the way I'd like it anymore') I think of my grandmother, that I suddenly lost in February. Even though she lived far away, she was always present in my life and this song is my way of saying goodbye to her, of hugging her one last time through music.”
GAETANO MORAGAS, “MY TIME MACHINE”: TEXT
If I could have my own time machine
I would like to go back to that moment
when I hit you right in the heart
with my words that I carved in concrete
I could erase that mistake now
Now that you're not here
life is no longer the way I would like it
your wound inside will bleed
she has never recovered and will not recover
but I love you
what if I had an hour
I could prove it to you
Still
that I know how to love you but with my limits,
that I know how to give you the beauty hidden in me
If I could have my own time machine
I would like to go back to that moment
when you slowly stripped my heart
and made that love that can slow down time
give meaning to our oath again
Now that you're not here
life is no longer the way I would like it
your wound inside will burn me
she never healed it's the truth
but I love you
what if I had an hour
I could prove it to you
Still
that I only want you now more than ever
I would know
give you the sky beyond the clouds
where we
we promised ourselves infinity
I can't give up
never
to you
Why
you are inside me
indelible
scar
but if I had an hour
I would make you happy
Still
I want to love you but with my limits
I want to give you the beauty hidden in me
If I could have my own time machine
I would change the ending to be back here with you
