“Waiting for a Miracle”
As mentioned in today’s episode (mp3), we recently received an e-mail from a listener that likes a music clip we often use of a song called “Waiting For a Miracle.” The song is performed by Mark Erelli and was written by Bruce Cockburn.
An excerpt:
You stand up proud
You pretend you’re strong
In the hope that you can be
Like the ones who’ve cried
Like the ones who’ve died
Trying to set the angel in us free
And they’re waiting for a
And they’re waiting for a
And they’re waiting for a miracle…
So how come the future takes such a long, long time
When you’re waiting for a..
When you’re waiting for a..
When you’re waiting for a miracle
We get an e-mail or two every week asking about this song…something about it seems to connect in a big way with Cubs fans. We’re glad to offer our listeners a link to download the full song. Enjoy!

I listened to the first few minutes of your latest podcast this morning before work, with the Waiting for a Miracle opening, and actually thought I would love to hear that whole song. You’ve been using it for a while, and I always dug that line from it that you use. So, I went to your site to see if you guys have ever said who it was by, and low and behold, there it was. I just wanted to let you know about that coincidence, thank you for posting it, and tell you to keep up the great work on the show.

That’s awesome, Dennis. Those lyrics from the intro definitely sum up what it’s like to be a Cubs fan. Thanks for listening!

Hey Ian. I just gave it a shot and it seems to still be working. Try right clicking and selecting “save as” or “save link as” if you’re on a PC.

On another note, can’t wait to see the Cubs @ New Yankee Stadium this weekend !! GO CUBS !
