Filed under: 9:30 Coffee Break

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah, and given that the holiday celebrates the miracle of the candle oil that was supposed to have only been enough for one night but instead burned for eight, we'll turn to the subject of miracles for today's 9:30 Coffee Break. What are some of your favorite songs about miracles?

Songs played:
Elvis Costello "Miracle Man"
Jeremy Messersmith "Miracles"
Krisoff Krane "Miracle"
Grateful Dead "I Need a Miracle"
Hot Chocolate "You Sexy Thing"

And it would be a REAL MIRACLE if Adele stopped being played in high rotation. C'mon Current give us all a holiday break and stop playing Adele for awhile. Thanks!

Foo Fighters "Mircale" is such a sweet and lovely song. It shows a soft side of the Foo that we don't see too often. It came off of the acoustic side of In Your Honor. You can't help but smile when you hear it.

"Miracle" By Matisyahu seems really appropriate but....

I gotta hear "You Sexy Thing (I Believe in Miracles)" by Hot Chocolate

Posted by Patrick | December 20, 2011 9:05 AM
