London-based artist Tzucasa enthralls with an atmospheric, jangly rock appeal on “Miracle That You’re Here.” The track comes via an upcoming four-track EP, and represents a more raw and emotional sound, comparative to the more rock-forward direction of the three other tracks. Tzucasa describes “Miracle That You’re Here” as “my favourite track [on the EP] because it touches on how I feel as a human being navigating this strange existence the most.”
“Who knows they felt?” an introspective vocal calmness commences amidst pulses of jangling guitars and steady bass. References to old photos further the reflective qualities, as the vocals muse “it’s funny to me.” The mid-point sees a haunting shift within the “as they let go for the first time,” captivation; the vocals soar with greater fervency here into the punchy bass-crawling ardency at the three-minute mark. Tzucasa’s vocals grip in their range of debonair and expressive ruminations, set amidst a melodic guitar jangling that persists with an ear-catching engrossment.
The artist elaborates further on the track:
“This song was a little confusing to me as well when writing – I think it’s a blend of my own perspective on the people around me as well as a super-ego kind of reflection on myself. I am reflecting on my teenage years when I was weighed down by the thought of existing, and being apprehensive about the situation I was born in to (in the lyric “all the cards they were once dealt”).”
“The chorus is meant to be both soothing and a little threatening (the line “it’s funny” Tzucasa – Miracle That You’re Here. Page 1/2 could both be a way of trying to make someone see things positively as well as looking down on them or belittling their emotions. Repeating that “it’s a miracle that you’re here” is both a nice thought and stressful) which I feel has been reflected in the contrast between the fast and demanding drums and the atmospheric relaxed synths.”
