Despite its serious subject matter, Miracle is far from austere in sound, marrying the cinematic, dreamlike quality of Francis’s earlier music with the pared-back charm of great singer-songwriters like Judee Sill, Jeff Tweedy and Elliott Smith. The album opens with ‘Bad Hair Day’, a relentlessly catchy—and deceptively upbeat—ode to hangovers and missed connections. “I’ve been calling on you all night /But I never get through, I just get in the way” Francis laments; “I am a cloud in the sun’s light/Whatever I do, whatever I say.” Elsewhere, the title track finds him pondering the fickle nature of the music industry: “I think of [Miracle] as acknowledging and even encouraging the feelings we’re not supposed to succumb to – giving up, giving in – just because it can be comforting to hear it from someone else. ‘Why am I climbing these social ladders and jumping through the hoops of this creative industry? Does this make me happy?’” These themes of longing, and lacking, missing and being missed, reoccur throughout Miracle. “When I die/Will I be missed/Or am I missing the point?” asks ‘Say So’; while ‘Lonesome No More’, inspired by the Kurt Vonnegut book of the same name, begs the question: if loneliness was eradicated, would we miss it? By confronting these feelings, Francis is able to move forward, as triumphant album closer ‘The Let Down’ proves. Its lyrics serve as a call to action, as Francis wills himself (and the listener) to ‘Get up/Get something going/Do something, do it/Do it now’ Miracle was produced by Francis in collaboration with Brendan Williams (Dutch Uncles, Matthew Halsall, Kiran Leonard) and Robin Koob (who co-arranged and performed strings). The opportunity to take creative control was one Francis relished. “I’m quite bad at delegating” he admits, noting that he played every instrument except strings on Miracle. The result is a cohesive, deeply personal record, which is as vital as it is vulnerable. “I don’t want to be defined by my anxiety, my depression or any history of substance abuse,” Francis says, “but I do want to reach out to other people who have had similar experiences, especially if it’s in a way that helps them feel a little better. To me, this music is celebrating healing as much as it focuses on the darker sides of the human psyche.” Artist Francis Lung Genre Rock And Pop Label Memphis Industries Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Intro Bad Hair Day Blondes Have More Fun Miracle Empty Playgrounds, Broken Swings (Demo) Don't Call Me Baby Say So Southern Skies Want 2 Want U Comedown (Again) Uncommon Lonesome No More The Let Down Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Francis Lung and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Francis Lung A Dream Is U Rock And Pop | Memphis Industries | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 2nd August 2019 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Francis Lung A Dream Is U £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Memphis Industries SKU: MI0546LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 2nd August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Little Willies, The For The Good Times Americana / Country | Milking Bull | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 3rd April 2024 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Little Willies, The For The Good Times £20.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Milking Bull SKU: nn283829 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 3rd April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Eileen Gogan and the Instructions Under Moving Skies Rock And Pop | Dimple Discs | 1LP Released 5th June 2020 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eileen Gogan and the Instructions Under Moving Skies £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Dimple Discs SKU: DEEDEE002 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th June 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tele Novella Merlynn Belle Rock And Pop | Kill Rock Stars | 1LP Released 5th February 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tele Novella Merlynn Belle £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Kill Rock Stars SKU: LPKRS673 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th February 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ian Brown The Greatest Rock And Pop | Fiction | 2LP Released 12th January 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ian Brown The Greatest £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fiction SKU: 987 298-0 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 12th January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fall, The This Nations Saving Grace (Expanded Edition) Rock And Pop | Beggars Banquet | 2LP Released 10th June 2015 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fall, The This Nations Saving Grace (Expanded Edition) £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Beggars Banquet SKU: BBQLP2137 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 10th June 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Good, The Bad & The Queen, The Merrie Land (RSD Stores Exclusive Coloured Vinyl) Rock And Pop | Studio 13 | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 12th November 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Good, The Bad & The Queen, The Merrie Land (RSD Stores Exclusive Coloured Vinyl) £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Studio 13 SKU: 0190296941689 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 12th November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alice Cooper Welcome To My Nightmare (Atlantic 75 Series) (SACD) Metal / Classic Rock | Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) | SACD Released 19th January 2024 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alice Cooper Welcome To My Nightmare (Atlantic 75 Series) (SACD) £45.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Analogue Productions (Atlantic 75 Series) SKU: CAPA 015 SA Formats: SACD Released Date: 19th January 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lucy Spraggan I Hope You Don’t Mind Me Writing Rock And Pop | CTRL Records | 1LP Released 27th January 2017 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lucy Spraggan I Hope You Don’t Mind Me Writing £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: CTRL Records SKU: CTRLLP003 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cymbals Eat Guitars Pretty Years Rock And Pop | Sinderlyn | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th September 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Cymbals Eat Guitars Pretty Years £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sinderlyn SKU: LYN018LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Soundgarden Screaming Life / Fopp Rock And Pop | Sub Pop | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 25th November 2013 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Soundgarden Screaming Life / Fopp £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sub Pop SKU: SP1065 Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 25th November 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
