Oldfield has released more than 20 albums with the most recent being a rock album titled Man on the Rocks, released in 2014.
Mike Oldfield's parents are Raymond Oldfield, a general practitioner, and Maureen Liston, an Irish nurse.

Oldfield was born in the Battle Hospital in Reading, Berkshire, and he attended St. Joseph's Convent School, Highlands Junior School, St. Edward's preparatory school, and Presentation College in Reading. When he was 13, he moved with his parents to Harold Wood in Essex and attended Hornchurch Grammar School, where, having already begun his career in music, he took just one GCE examination, in English.
Clearlight or Clear Light may refer to:
Clear Light was an American psychedelic rock band that was formed in Los Angeles, California in 1966. The group released one studio album that was met with moderate national success before disbanding.
In 1966, The Brain Train formed and was managed by Sunset Strip hipster Bud Mathis. They recorded one single – "Black Roses", written by Wolfe Dios – before changing their name to Clear Light and signing to Elektra Records. Guitarist Bob Seal felt the name should be changed to coincide with the single. Clear Light shared its name with a potent form of LSD, although Seal states the name came from his studies of Eastern philosophy. The Doors' producer Paul A. Rothchild took over management of the band.
The core members of Clear Light were Bob Seal, lead guitarist and vocals, Robbie "The Werewolf" Robison, rhythm guitar and vocals, Doug Lubahn bass and vocals, Dallas Taylor drums, and Michael Ney on an atypical second set of drums. The original line-up was featured in the 1967 motion picture The President's Analyst, with Barry McGuire cast as their leader and vocalist. They soon added Cliff De Young on lead vocals and this is the version of the band seen on their only album cover. However, sometime during the recording process, often described as "brutal", Paul Rothchild was not happy with Robison's guitar playing skills and pressured the group to remove him - he was replaced by keyboard player Ralph Schuckett.
Clear Light was the only studio album released by the 1960s Los Angeles psychedelic rock band, Clear Light.
Recording commenced in April 1967 at Elektra Recording Studio in Los Angeles. The majority of the material was complete during these sessions, but the developments were postponed to replace Robbie Robison on guitar. Instead of a new guitarist, the band recruited keyboardist Ralph Schuckett, and, following a month of concerts, the band returned to recording in Sunset Sound Recorders Studios. The studios had just recently upgraded from a 4-track to an 8-track. A highlight of the recording sessions was the band's psychedelic interpretation of the composition "Mr. Blue".
Clear Light was released in September 1967 and peaked at number 126 on the Billboard pop albums chart. It combined elements of folk, rock, psychedelic, and classical music. It is an AMG music pick, although the album was not a success at the time. The album featured the unique characteristic of including two leading drummers on their tracks.

Silence in the air.
Is anybody there?
Searching every sound.
Walking on quiet ground
[ Chorus ]
Somebody's out to get you!
Hiding in shadows - poison arrows.
Somebody's out to break you!
Hiding in narrows - Poison arrows
When you gonna break?
Watching every move you make
And everything you do,
Evil eyes'll be on you.
[ Repeat Chorus ]
Don't give in, don't come any closer,
No sir!
Keep running, coming in closer,
Closer.
Don't give in, don't come any closer,
No sir!
Keep running, coming in closer,
Closer.
What you gonna do?
Time is running out on you.
Anywhere you choose,
Anyway, you're gonna lose.
[ Repeat Chorus ]
[ Repeat Chorus ]
Sombody's out to get you.
