Mirrors (Sally Oldfield song)

"Mirrors" is a song by the English recording artist Sally Oldfield[1] from her debut studio album, Water Bearer (1978).

It was released by Bronze Records as the lead single from the album, and it later reached #19 in the UK charts.

Oldfield wrote "Mirrors" after becoming frustrated with Bronze Records over a request for her to write a new song for Water Bearer, which was soon to be released.

[2] In an interview with Teamrock.com, she commented that as she suddenly thought of an idea that would become the song while driving home, she 'was so happy that [she] bounced up and down'.

Oldfield's two performances of "Mirrors" on the BBC music show Top of the Pops made it more obvious that it differed from other hit singles; "I don't think the audience knew how to react to me in my hippy dress, or the song, so, I wouldn't say I was ever regarded as a pop star by anyone, least of all myself.
