"Miracles" by Blessid Union Of Souls

Blessid Union Of Souls emerged from the dissonance of grunge to purify our distortion-tired ears with thoughtful coffeehouse music rich with melody and harmony. The band's first three records all placed in the Billboard Top 200 throughout the 90s, and then the band seemed to fade into obscurity.

Blessid Union Of Souls scored 6 hits in the 90s on the Top 100, the best being their debut ballad, "I Believe", which  soared to #8 in 1995. Their last charting single was the fun song, "Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me), which got to #33 in 1998. And yes that is a reference to the Titanic actor, Leonardo DiCaprio.

Fast forward to 2011 - the band releases a new record called "The Mission Field". "Miracles" is the bright and uplifting lead off track that we all need to hear every now and then.
