"Miracle" by David Wimbish & The Collection is a heartfelt message to a friend in a bad romantic relationship. It's not easy to be the person to tell someone you love you see them struggling. The speaker does just that, describing how they see their friend sacrificing their own happiness with lyrics like: "shedding your spine for the next time you and him disagree." Recognizing that breaking up with someone feels like an impossible option, the speaker expresses support both emotionally and in saying "we’ve all got your back if you need a place to crash." Capturing the all too real experience of watching someone you care about struggle in a bad relationship, this song reminds listeners to support the people they care about.
The sound of "Miracle" is comforting and warm, combining soulful pop vocals with a country twang and acoustic instrumentals. A guitar picking pattern opens the track as smooth, deep vocals join the mix with an energetic pace. This song hits the ear in a way that will have you swaying along to its rhythm. Slower vocals smoothly glide through the chorus as the instrumentals change, the guitar ringing out in single strums between chord changes before picking up a bright strumming pattern into the next verse. Percussion picks up throughout the song as layered strings join the mix. Pulsing, percussive guitar through the bridge builds an intimate atmosphere to the track.
