Singer/songwriter Brecken Miles brings a tidal wave of feeling to his emotionally raw new single, “Meghan.” In a surprise twist, fans can stream/download the song HERE now. Brecken’s fourth radio release, the track debuts globally next Tuesday, September 15, at 6 p.m. Central on iHeart Radio’s “New From Nashville” show (FM 106.1 / Milwaukee) .
But like a tidal wave
stronger than a hurricane
My love for you is just as true
As it was the first day
but sometimes it feels like chasing the wind
trying to hold onto you Meghan (B. Miles, M. Bollea Rowe)
“Meghan” exposes the difficulties Miles and his wife Meghan have experienced over the last decade. Brecken notes, “It encompasses all the pain, emotion and undying love that I have for her. Those are my tears on the table and my heart on the floor.” When the strictures of the Covid-19 pandemic forced him home from the road, the couple realized they had to reconnect or let go. “Between my artist career, a part-time job and a city touring business in Milwaukee, plus Meghan’s work, we were like two ships passing in the night,” Brecken reflects. “Add a toddler to the mix and we just got lost.” The song is his plea to her to hang on through life’s storms and not give up on their life together. Miles’ longing and heartbreak can be heard in every line, and the crisp recording values make every perfectly placed note count.
Produced by Larry Beaird (Dolly Parton, Billy Dean, Mark O’Connor), the song was written by hitmaker Melissa Bollea Rowe and Miles. “It’s the true emotion Brecken brings to the vocal performance – along with Goose Gossett on harmonies and the outstanding musicianship of all the players – that take this song over the top,” notes Beaird.
Bollea Rowe recalls the day the song was written, “It was an organically beautiful idea that showed up effortlessly for us as we sat down to write. I’m really proud of this one.”
