About the song

When Barry Manilow released “It’s a Miracle” in 1975, it wasn’t just another catchy tune—it was a joyful anthem wrapped in gratitude, rhythm, and pure showmanship. Coming from his Tryin’ to Get the Feeling album, the song radiates that unmistakable “Manilow magic”: an uplifting melody, a lively brass section, and a performance full of warmth that feels like the sun breaking through a cloudy day.

At its heart, “It’s a Miracle” is a song about survival and the beauty of returning home. It captures the life of an entertainer on the road—exhausted, lonely, moving from one city to another—who finally comes back to where love and real life reside. For anyone who’s ever felt the ache of distance or the relief of reunion, this song feels like a celebration of being grounded again. Manilow sings it with the enthusiasm of someone who’s seen the highs and lows of performance life, yet still marvels at the simple miracle of being home.

The production shines with a sparkling mid-70s pop energy—a mix of pop, soft rock, and a hint of disco flair that perfectly fit the era. There’s something about Barry Manilow’s voice here that feels both triumphant and tender; you can sense the exhaustion behind the smile, the gratitude behind the groove. It’s not just a performance—it’s a personal testimony from an artist who understands the price of passion and the sweetness of return.

For fans who lived through the golden age of 70s pop, “It’s a Miracle” is more than just a radio hit. It’s a time capsule—a song that reminds us of a period when optimism and melody danced hand in hand, and when Barry Manilow’s music could make even an ordinary day feel just a little more extraordinary.
