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 View Product Quick View JJ Cale To Tulsa And Back Blues | Because Music | 180g, 2LP, Includes CD Released 24th April 2019 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders JJ Cale To Tulsa And Back £27.00 Genre: Blues Label: Because Music SKU: BEC5543439 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes CD Released Date: 24th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mabel About Last Night… Rock And Pop | UMC | 1LP Released 15th July 2022 £24.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Mabel About Last Night… £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 3833106 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th July 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Suzi Quatro In The Spotlight Rock And Pop | Let Them Eat Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 6th October 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Suzi Quatro In The Spotlight £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Let Them Eat Vinyl SKU: LETV172LP Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 6th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View !!!
