«Miracle Goodnight» Дэвида Боуи: Песня о любви к Иман

Song by David Bowie

"Miracle Goodnight" is a song by English singer songwriter David Bowie, released in October 1993 by Arista Records as the third and final single from his 18th studio album, Black Tie White Noise (1993). The song was written by Bowie and produced by Nile Rodgers. It reached number 40 on the UK Singles Chart. The accompanying music video was directed by Matthew Rolston.

While the previous two singles from the album, "Jump They Say" and "Black Tie White Noise", covered issues such as mental illness and legal injustice, "Miracle Goodnight" features a more unabashed recurring theme of the album – Bowie's love for his new bride, Iman Abdulmajid. He declared the whole album "a wedding present" for Iman.

Alan Jones from Music Week wrote, "This is one of Black Tie White Noises more attractive tracks, an offbeat and intimate affair with flashes of the old Bowie in the counter harmonies." A reviewer from Philadelphia Inquirer said, "'Miracle Goodnight' may boast one of the clumsiest lyrics D. B. has ever penned (I wished I was a sailor a thousand miles from here / I wished I had a future / Anywhere). But with a house quaking foundation, Rodgers' sparkling, Caribbean flavored guitar solo, and a Philip Glass like coda, "Miracle" adds up to one of Bowie's most endearing numbers."

The song's music video was directed by American artist, photographer, director and creative director Matthew Rolston, featuring Bowie unmoved by a harem of beautiful women while singing the song to camera, as well as scenes of him in a jester's outfit, playing with mirrors, dressed as a mime, and even returning briefly to his fashion style as the Thin White Duke from 1976.

The "Make Believe Mix" of the song was included on the bonus disc for the 10th anniversary edition of Black Tie White Noise. It was the first time the mix was available on CD.
