"Turn My Head" is a song by alternative rock group Live, which was released as the second single from their 1997 album, Secret Samadhi. It is a mid-tempo ballad, in contrast to the previous two singles from the album, which were more in line with the album's general hard-rock orientation.

The song was not released as a commercially purchasable single in the United States, and was therefore not eligible for the Billboard Hot 100. However, it reached the #45 position on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay music chart, and also peaked at #3 on both the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts.

[edit] Music videos

Two music videos were produced for the song. The first (directed by Jake Scott) was inspired by the paintings of John Register, and depicted the band in still life scenes. The second released video was a more straightforward, band performing live take directed by Mary Lambert. Both can be found on the DVD release of Awake: The Best of Live.
