About This Track

'Miracle' arrives as the fourth single from Chvrches' third album, a track that strips back the band's usual maximalism in favour of something more direct. Lauren Mayberry's voice cuts through clean synth lines as she negotiates the gap between hope and resignation, asking not for the impossible but simply for acknowledgement: "if love is enough, could you let it show?" The song finds its power in restraint, each element placed with precision rather than abundance. Working with producer Steve Mac alongside the band themselves, 'Miracle' sits comfortably within Chvrches' established world whilst feeling notably refined. The repeating refrain beds in like a hook that's already lived in your head for years. A Dork four-star record, it exemplifies how the band have learned to make pop music that feels both immediate and considered, bright without being breathless.

"Miracle" is a single by Chvrches, from the album Love Is Dead, released 24th May 2018. The track is 3:08 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Chvrches.

Lyrics

Miracle

Ask me no questions, I will tell you no lies
Careful what you wish for
We're looking for angels in the darkest of skies
Saying that we wanted more
I feel like I'm falling, but I'm trying to fly
Where does all the good go?
We're looking for answers in the highest of highs
But will we ever, ever know?

And I need you to know, I'm not asking for a miracle
But if love is enough, could you let it show?
If you feel it could you let me know? (Oh, ohh)
(Oh, ohh) If you feel it could you let me know? (Oh, ohh)
(Oh, ohh) I'm not asking for a miracle

Ask for forever when the end is in sight
Showing what you want to
We're looking for light inside an ocean of night
But will we ever see it through?

And I need you to know, I'm not asking for a miracle
But if love is enough, could you let it show?
If you feel it could you let me know? (Oh, ohh)
(Oh, ohh) If you feel it could you let me know? (Oh, ohh)
(Oh, ohh) I'm not asking for a miracle

Ask me no questions, I will tell you no lies
I'm not asking for a miracle
We're looking for angels in the darkest of skies
I'm not asking for a miracle (I'm not asking for a miracle)

I'm not asking for a miracle
If you feel it could you let me know?

Ask me no questions, I will tell you no lies
I'm not asking for a miracle
We're looking for angels in the darkest of skies
I'm not asking for a miracle (I'm not asking for a miracle)

Ask me no questions, I will tell you no lies
I'm not asking for a miracle
We're looking for angels in the darkest of skies
I'm not asking for a miracle (I'm not asking for a miracle)
