Contents 1 Music and lyrics 2 Music video 3 Reception 4 References 5 External links // Music and lyrics The lyrics of "Miracles" focus on natural phenomena humans experience in life which often go unacknowledged. The closing lyrics encourages listeners to take time to look at the world and "appreciate the things that life has to offer".[3][4] According to Joseph Bruce, "What's a shame is how people walk around blind to it all. They lost their spirit about everything. If you can’t even see the miracle in animals, then you must have never truly loved a pet."[5] Bruce defends the group's use of the term miracles in the song. "We’ve always thought [the word] meant something fuckin’ amazing and incredible, [...] [a] special, awesome event, [...] a great, wonderful thing."[5] Bruce also states that the lyrics discuss "things [...] [that] may not be actual miracles. They may have scientific facts explaining them [...] But nonetheless, these things are still incredible [...] and they should be appreciated."[6] The lyrics focus on introspective themes which are considered to be uncommon in Insane Clown Posse's music; however, Bruce states that these themes are important in the duo's work, and reveal their depth.[3] In response to accusations that the group has changed its style and gone soft,[6] Bruce calls the song "classic ICP," noting that the group has always included one or two deep and meaningful songs on every album, and that this is just the first time that they've created a video for one of those songs.[6][5] The song's music is built around an ascending synthesizer melody, and climaxes with an electric guitar solo performed by Mike E. Clark, and beatboxing by Joseph Utsler.[3][7] Music video A special effect from the music video, which has become viral. The music video for the song debuted on April 6, 2010, as part of the "Nuclear Edition" reissue of Bang! Pow! Boom!.[8] The video's green screen sequences were directed by Paul Andresen. Post-production was completed in Michigan.[9] The video has received over four million views on YouTube.[10] On April 17, Saturday Night Live aired a sketch which parodied the "Miracles" music video.[11] In the sketch, fictional personalities DJ Supersoak (played by Jason Sudeikis) and Lil' Blaster (played by Nasim Pedrad) debuted a fictional music video by the Thrilla Killa Klownz called "Magical Mysteries" as part of the Under Underground Records' "Underground Rock Minute".[12] In the fictional video, Ryan Phillippe and Bobby Moynihan rap about things such as "where the sun hides at night" and how blankets work.[11][12] Saturday Night Live had previously parodied Psychopathic Records in 2009.[9] Insane Clown Posse called the "Miracles" parody "a huge honor".[12] Bruce called the parody "off the hook hilarious."[5] Utsler noted that Coolio had reacted unfavorably towards "Amish Paradise", "Weird Al" Yankovic's parody of the rapper's song "Gangsta's Paradise", and stated "If Weird Al wanted to do one of our songs, I’d be like, 'Hell yeah.' To me, it's the same thing with Saturday Night Live."[9] Reception The Detroit News music critic Adam Graham disliked the song, writing that "hearing this song makes you wish ICP would stick to serial killing".[13] Slate writer Jonah Weiner praised the song's music, but panned its lyrics.[7] The A.V. Club writer Nathan Rabin described the song as "fucking insane".[14] James Montgomery described the music video as "a psychedelic special effects extravaganza that is sometimes really literal [...] and sometimes just confusing."[15] The Orion gave the video a "thumbs up" rating, writing "We also have wondered how magnets work."[16] Joseph Bruce has responded to the criticism, saying that Insane Clown Posse has always been faced with ridicule, and that he feels that the mainstream media does not understand the meaning of the song.[5][6] References ^ a b (2009) Album notes for Bang!
