A Séance in Sound — Miller Tracy’s “With John” Bridges the Seen and Unseen
Miller Tracy’s “With John” isn’t just another folk-rock experiment — it feels like a quiet crossing between worlds. Released on October 31, the track moves like a candle flicker caught between the spiritual and the grounded, steeped in the kind of mysticism that lingers long after the final chord fades.
There’s an unhurried patience in how the song unfolds — the delicate arpeggios pull you in, almost hypnotic, while the rhythm swells beneath like a slow tide. Tracy’s vocals carry a lived-in warmth, neither too polished nor raw, just honest — the kind of voice that sounds like it’s been up late thinking about the meaning of everything. The production holds that balance beautifully, weaving the reflective stillness of James Taylor with a flicker of Buddy Miles’ soulful edge.
What makes “With John” stand apart is how it captures the sensation of reaching inward — like trying to commune with the ghosts of your own past selves. Tracy channels his fascination with transcendence and ego dissolution into something hauntingly accessible, a tune that glows with quiet revelation.
In a world that rushes toward noise, “With John” is an invitation to sit still and listen — not just to the song, but to whatever whispers back.
