Miracle by Sunset Sky
Length: 3:25 • 119 BPM • A minor

“Everyday is a miracle that I am trying to see.”

Why I wrote “Miracle”

There’s a strange clarity that shows up on empty roads after midnight. Streetlights smear into lines, the ocean breathes like a slow synth pad, and whatever you’ve been avoiding steps into view. “Miracle” came from that place — a reflective night‑drive where acceptance beats certainty and small moments feel huge.

The song circles a simple idea: the less I try to control, the more I actually notice. It isn’t glossy optimism. It’s the sober kind, looking at life straight on and choosing to see what’s good anyway.

The lyric thread

I usually build tracks around textures first, but this one started with a phrase in my notes app: “everyday is a miracle i’m trying to see.” The rest fell out of the same conversation with myself:

the less you want / the more you can
clear‑eyed and sober / consult the master plan
when you find out there is none / we’re all doing what we can
…
you’re here for a good time / that much i know
i’m holding the fire only / until midnight’s afterglow

Those lines set the tone: a little weathered, mostly hopeful. Like a photograph you found in a glove box, familiar, a bit scratched, still beautiful.

Sound & shape

“Miracle” sits at 119 BPM in A minor, with drums that lope more than slam. The palette is minimal: a warm bass bed, dusty percussion, and a lead that feels like headlights bending around a curve. I kept the master breathing on purpose, night has space; the song should too.

For the nerds (my people):

• Drum layer is a hybrid of foley taps and a softened 808 hat pattern.
• Pads are stacked Juno‑style with slow filter movement; subtle chorus widens the tail.
• The lead carries a touch of tape flutter and a hair of pitch drift, near‑human, not perfect.

Cover & visuals

The artwork leans into “midnight’s afterglow.” Long‑exposure highway ribbons along a dark coastline, a quiet magenta bloom at the edges. If you listen while looking at the ocean, you’re doing it right.

What I hope you feel

Not rescued. Not fixed. Just… present. There’s a power in noticing the ordinary when life is messy. If this track keeps you company on a late drive, or buys you a breath when you need it, that’s the miracle for me.
