Here's another epic song, it's about Miami and it's called Miracle Mile. I wanted to create a guitar figure similar to Hotel California, something that could support the entire song. I fooled around with BB until I had a pattern that worked, unfortunately I can't play it myself, so I only perform a few percussion tracks. I needed a "sunrise" at the beginning, and then decided I needed some birds, so I stole them from the Beatles.

MIRACLE MILE

Riding in my Daddy's car a 56 Mercury
Only in America, Rick Shaw on the radio
Eden Roc Fontainebleau gliding by outside my window
shapes of the future, symbols of a golden age

But what was going on behind those shining walls
The violence and the power plays
bullets on the Biscayne Bay
I was only twelve years old in my Daddy's car
cruising the Miracle Mile
cruising, cruising
cruising the Miracle Mile

Little Mike was on a winning streak
until he messed with the Cuban gangsters
dragged him down to Surfside beach
his blood drained through the sand

Jersey Tom was in real estate
thought he'd found a real bonanza
alligators and everglades, fifty acres of marshy land

For every crashing dream
another flew to the sky
for every body in the mangroves
another found paradise
but win or lose, you see them all
stepping out in style, cruising the Miracle Mile
stepping out in style, cruising the Miracle Mile


This year the summer storms
washed right through Miami
ocean coming in to take this proud and shining isle
now there's first responders
passing by with outboard motors
cruising the Miracle Mile
cruising, cruising
cruising the Miracle Mile
cruising, cruising
cruising the Miracle Mile
cruising the Miracle Mile
