    The year this song came out was the year my wife died after a two year fight with cancer leaving me , a 22 year old with a 2 year old daughter. My daughter is 50 now , she's amazing. We sorta grew up together. God is good, I know where she is. She came to me in a dream not so long ago and she was perfect and she's waiting on me. Praise the lord

    This song was popular and played on the radio when my high school boyfriend picked me up for school. I loved him and for over 2 years we dated. 1977 we broke up and found each other in 2010. Been together ever since. Married 5 years ago. Its a miracle!❤

      How funny, I have a story similar to yours. I had a high school boyfriend too for six years as we were still together after high school ended. We even got engaged and had a daughter but broke up. He was the love of my life. I moved away from my hometown and got married for over 30 years and had a son, but we broke up. When my Mom had a massive stroke, I went back to my hometown and got back with my high school boyfriend in 2008, and we were together until he passed away of Cancer in 2012. It was wonderful! Yes, miracles do happen as this was one of our favorite songs and still is to me.

      When this was a hit September 1975, I had just returned from a 13 month tour on Okinawa at Camp Foster. I was driving down the WV Turnpike and was heading to Camp LeJeune, when I heard this song. I said SCREW IT I'm going UA aka AWOL, and quitting the Marine Corps. I had two more years left on my 4 year contract. But I stayed in and made Sergeant 8 months before I was discharged. I was offered Ssgt if I'd go to Admin Chief School and pass the course. Then be the Admin Chief of a small Company. I thought hard but decided to get out after 4 years, and let my hair. Stay in the Corps it's a great profession. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant.

    I was at a very low point of my life when this got airplay on the radio. 20 yo, virtually homeless, working 12 hour days, 6 days a week.. This had to be some time in the summer of ‘75. I found it very uplifting and it gave me hope things would get better. Things got better. At 66yo, I still have an attachment to this song.

    When you are married for 46 years, you go through some rough times. This music got us through some of our roughest times. In the middle of some awful screaming matches, one of us would put this on the turntable, and we would dissolve into tears, holding each other, and resolving to believe in Miracles. We would be celebrating 51 years if I hadn't lost him 5 years ago. Thank you, Jefferson Starship.

I remember once, he grabbed me and pulled me in close and we danced to this song as he sang it in my ear. Bobbie, I'm glad you got to marry your love and go through those rough times and be able to get to the good times and believe in Miracles. God bless. Remember that there is only a thin veil between us and them. He sees your tears and he feels your love.

It and lots of the people cant really sing without auto tune back in these days there was no such thing that's what made the vocals of those days so good the imperfections in their voices and the analog recorded sound makes it just a awesome experience to listen to.

I told him to look it up on UA-cam. He did and as soon as this song started playing, tears were flowing down his cheeks. I said, what's wrong. And he said that this was his father's favorite song that he played all of the times when he was a little boy. He was extremely close to his father, who died suddenly five years ago. He thanked me for leading him to this song, as he now knows the name and loves his Father's favorite song.... What a surreal moment!

      I had a stroke a year ago last October. I could not speak, I couldn't walk, and I had moderate brain damage. I hada pain pump

    • @BarbaraBond-kq1vi
      @BarbaraBond-kq1vi 10 місяців тому +3

      Pain pump implant previously, and it failed, causing the stroke. The pain pump was filled with morphine and fentinol and that what caused what my stoke. I was also on a feeding tube because that prevented me from swallowing. After several months, I just started talking, out of nowhere! I was in a nursing home, the staff heard my first words, and started clapping and shouting. It asif I has just woken up from a coma! After those first words, I haven't stopped talking.
      After I started Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy, I progressively leaned to walk again and maintained my full vocabulary that I had before the the stroke, thanks all the helpful dedicated professionals that helped me make a miraculous recovery.

      It's one of those songs that - when it would come on - the sound was like the best food or drink you'd ever tasted, and you make that audible "ahhhhh" sound as it washed over you so you'd kick back and savor it. Like the moment whiskey finally hits the tummy and the warmth spreads over you.. Like being in total love and dancing in the moonlight on a warm Summer night. Gawd how I love this song. I'm not the most romantic woman in the world, but this song sure made me see things differently while it played

      I’m still kinda numb. I grieve alone because I can’t when others are around. I’m glad she’s no longer suffering from that wretched illness known as Alzheimer’s. I know she’s been reunited with all of her loved ones. Although she didn’t know who we were for those 2 1/2 years, I believe she knew who were were during the last couple days she was with us. We told her it was ok to go. We told her there’d be a glorious reunion. We played beautiful music n we held her hand as she took her last breath n was born into heaven. Thanks for reading this. I think it just hit me that she’s gone. I’m gonna go n grieve now n it’s okay. Reading your beautiful comments inspired me to go deep. It’s the first time I’ve allowed myself to do that since her transition. Thank you. 💝🌎💝

    I believe in miracles and in God who says "All things are possible for those who believe". I was 13 when this album was released by Jefferson Starship so I bought it and loved this song. If you got to grow up in the 50's through the 80's with all the classic movies & music, YOU were blessed!

      Time well spent in nostalgic venture revisiting past memories. Strongly imbibed beauty, bold impressions made in time when we were young. Heart-felt reminiscing good for the soul. Recall the love's intensity, long days can dull drearily...reawaken the spirit inset innocence recaptured once more..pure sentiments beneath the surface still vibrantly there, lingering an awe of life... thru this music we are renewed.

      @@bobrisse9823 How interesting, music the medium. I was feeling all poetical after listening to 'Miracles,' over again, a favorite song my earliest youth.
      I have been infatuated with music all my life, actually my family was musical. My brother is self taught plays guitar in a small band, an ordinary group of friends who play classic rock on the east coast, doing nightly gigs just for fun.
      My mother liked to sing, had a decent voice. My father also self taught, played by ear ...didn't read music. He played the acoustic guitar, the violin and the banjo. He just used to play when in the mood or with friends over for a beer. I remember, as a young child stopping whatever I was doing to listen.
      I like in enjoy many genre's of music, exposed to many different kinds, so long as not negative, I prefer not to involve myself in hate rhetoric or be angry, led in that direction.
      Music is a silver thread that connects persons over vast distances, brings together shared experiences though separate from all walks of life.. a medium of universal exchange, reminds myself kinda like a smile means happy greeting in 'glad to see you,' pleased of sorts in every language.
