“Now it's the turn of David O'Leary, an alternative rock singer-songwriter, who brings us a musical gem that oozes nostalgia, regret and melancholy with his new song "Wish I Could Go Back".


David O'Leary's style is characterized by its authenticity and its ability to fuse elements of classical hard rock with modern touches. In "Wish I Could Go Back", this fusion is manifested through a powerful but melodic instrumentation, where each chord and each word resonate with a feeling of longing and reflection.


"Wish I Could Go Back" is a song that addresses the desire to go back in time to correct mistakes and say goodbye to those who have left. It expresses the pain of past decisions and the hopelessness of facing loneliness. With phrases like "I wish I could go back, I wish I was wise, I wish I never listened to their lies," O'Leary captures the essence of nostalgia and repentance.


The production is very good, achieving a perfect balance between the instrumentation and the voice of O'Leary. An instrumental game between strings, pianos and electric guitars, adds an additional layer of depth to the song, with a solid foundation that propels the melody forward.


In summary, David O'Leary offers us an introspective piece that will resonate with anyone who has felt the weight of regret and nostalgia. "Wish I Could Go Back" is proof that, through alternative rock, the deepest wounds of the soul can be explored and healed.”
