We Need a Miracle

Two hours of songs that explore the meaning of miracles and why they manifest themselves in music.

It starts with Walt Whitman pairing up with Coco Star on ‘I need a miracle’

Belief is a beauty thing

Promises, promises

As golden days break wondering..”

Ordinary Miracles by Erica Jong

Spring, rainbows,

ordinary miracles

about which

nothing new can be said.

The stars on a clear night

of a New England winter;

the soft air of the islands

along the old

Spanish Main;

pirate gold shining

in the palm;

the odor of roses

to the lover’s nose. . .

There is no more poetry

to be written

of these things.

The rainbow’s sudden revelation–

behold!

The cliché is true!

What can one say

but that?

So too

with you, little heart,

little miracle,

but you are

no less miracle

for being ordinary.
