about

If you’ve been to the movies you’ll know that they often have music playing while the actors drive around or have a gunfight or go to a funeral or fooling around or winning or losing. Just about wherever the director thinks some certain music would be nice.

Where does all that music come from? Hollywood probably, but not every song is from there. Sometimes they ask for a song you already have and sometimes they ask you to write one.This record is the latter. All this music, mostly instrumentals was stuff I wrote for movies but was never used. They used other music which was not great, but show biz is like that. The first 8 songs were for a movie called ‘The Last Word’ directed by my friend Mark Pellington. One of the songs was supposed to have been used when Shirley Maclaine was walking into her house or something. That would have been a thrill. The rest are a lot of ideas I though up after watching some scenes Mark sent me. Songs 9-15 are from a movie called ‘Spring Forward’, written and directed by my very good friend Tom Gilroy. It’s a wonderful movie w/ Ned Beatty & Liev Schrieber. It takes place in Connecticut and even has a guy wearing a Miracle Legion t-shirt.Solid continuity. Most of the songs didn’t make it, but this is the demo for A Cup of Tea. Tom ended up using a re-recorded version as the credits song. Sweet success. A bunch of misfit songs that sat in a drawer. Til now.

Now you know the rest of the story……..

Doublethink
by Miracle Legion

supported by 46 fans who also own “Petals in the Well”

Recorded in 2018, after the last otherwise publicized activity of the band, this album could be described as sort of an acoustic "best of" album. On the one hand, this might just be for the diehards, but it does a good job showing what the band's about for newcomers. Compared to their overall catalog, Doublethink is closest in execution to Me and Mr. Ray and would make a good bonus disc if the latter finally got a new CD pressing. greencakenow

More punk influence on display here than the main catalog we've cherished all this time. Kind of baffling how long it took for this to reach general availability. greencakenow
