"Miracle" is the lead single by British duo Hurts taken off their second studio album Exile, which was released on 10 March 2013, exactly a day before the album release. The song premiered on BBC Radio 1 on 4 January 2013. In Germany, the "Robots Don't Sleep Remix" was released instead. A remix EP was released on 1 March.
Music video Two versions of the music video exist. The first video was filmed in Colindale (London). The video was released on 4 February 2013.
Black colour dominates the video. Black marries the band's widescreen synthpop with this dark and dramatic journey through a post-apocalyptic shopping centre, peppered with religious imagery and fearless half-clad dancers, ending on a rooftop with the Hurts hashtag-like logo in flames. This version of the video was leaked and then deleted. The official music video was posted on Hurts official Vevo account on 28 February, giving a very different concept from the first version released.
First version was directed by Chris Turner and the second one by Frank Borin.http://vimeo.com/61593135 Hurts "Miracle" directed by Frank Borin
Live performances Hurts performed the single live at The Jonathan Ross Show on 9 February 2013, which was their first performance of the song on a television programme. The Jonathan Ross Show, Series 4, Episode 6
