It’ll Haunt You: “Miracle” by @EMuteMusic

E-MUTE, “Miracle”

“Miracle” is one of those songs I’ve been listening to a lot over the last while, but not sure what to write about it!  In any case, the more I listened, the more the song’s haunting melody will stay with you as it did me.  E-Mute is the alias for London-based Theo Mak, who is not only the singer/songwriter, but also the drummer and pianist.  And it’s those instruments that are in the forefront, with the drumming mixing it up over the gorgeously repetitious classical piano melody.  Layered on top is E-Mute’s passionate, almost anguished vocal.  It’s a dialogue to whatever higher power exists out there – almost in the same way as was “You Found Me” by The Fray – about making your life worth living and then seeking redemption later.  Agree? Disagree?  A great conversation piece 😉 E-Mute is heavily influenced by Nirvana (as you will see what he’s wearing in the video above) and the inspiration is clearly 90’s alternative rock.  But blending that with his own talents, and you have one powerful and unique song, with a provocative message and compelling vocal.  Get “Miracle” on iTunes, from the EP Too Proud To Say Loud.
