Miracles is the sixth public album by the group Two Steps From Hell, released in June 2014. It consists of 21 tracks written entirely by composer Thomas J. Bergersen.[1] This album features several new tracks, as well as material selected from earlier non-public albums, including Dreams & Imaginations, Illumina, Two Steps From Heaven, and Volume One. The previously unreleased tracks "Sun Gazer," "Eyes Closing," "My Freedom," and "Perfect Love" appear with various tweaks and embellishments.

Upon the request of fans, the album heavily features dreamy, emotionally charged tracks as opposed to the more epic, upbeat tracks that have appeared on past releases.[2]
