Steam Powered Giraffe - Turn Back the Clock (Ballet Video)

The song “Turn Back the Clock“ from Steam Powered Giraffe’s 2013 album “MK III“, featuring the band’s very own Walter Workers, Chelsea and Camille Penyak, performing a ballet piece. This video features the ballet piece that Chelsea and Camille Penyak from the band performed on stage back when “Turn Back the Clock“ was a staple of our set lists! We filmed this way back in May of 2017. The band had a rehearsal space reserved for a YouTube livestream we were planning, but the date fell through and we decided to make use of the reserved space by filming the Walter Workers doing this ballet piece. While the original piece did have the band on either side of the stage and Rabbit interacting with the Penyaks a bit, we decided to not have the robots for this and just wanted to capture the beautiful work the Penyaks put into this piece. This video was put on the back burner and it got away from us, but we’ve finally edited it and now it’s here for all to see.

This time Can I keep it close to warm me forever Time can make the world strange Folks you knew don’t seem the same Time don’t care It beats you there And takes it all from you Don’t you think Even a blink Is safe from all you knew I see the girl here And she’s smilin’ Missing two front teeth Age is three plus three Well she’s a’laughin’ Her hair is golden Her toes a tappin’ To the robot band I still see her now Smiling Her hair done up in bows Her brown eyes twinkling She hummed a little song For me From a music box Given by Mommy Turn back the clock Turn back the clock Turn back the clock For my love song The autumns roll by a young lady takes the child’s place Pig tailed freckled face And she’s a workin’ On a’growin’ While the world does change Her smile stays the same There is a woman with a man her hair is dyed black But that smile it still came back After the curtain She leaves a little box A tiny dancer spins Music plays from within Turn back the clock Turn back the clock Turn back the clock For my love song A little girl sits And she’s laughin’ She looks just like her With her golden curls The smile’s there It’s not the same smile Where’d my girl run to Will she be back soon? I see her now Smiling Come on back To me Hum her little song Where did she go? Where did she go? Where did she go? Don’t leave, Don’t leave Turn back the clock Turn back the clock Turn back the clock Turn back the clock Turn back the clock Turn back the clock For my love song
