"Time for Miracles" is a song recorded by American singer Adam Lambert, released on October 16, 2009.[1] Although it was Lambert's first release since finishing as runner-up in the eighth season of American Idol, it was not his official debut single.[2] Written by Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider,[3] the song is featured in the end credits of the 2009 disaster film 2012 and is included on the film's soundtrack.[4] A full version of the song was released on October 17, 2009, via YouTube[5] and on October 20, 2009, via digital download.
Reception
Before "Time for Miracles" was released to the public, it had already garnered positive reviews.
Brian May of Queen was able to listen to the full track and praised the song as "truly sensational" and complimented Lambert's vocals, stating, "Adam's voice reaches out with sensitivity, depth, maturity, and awesome range and power that will make jaws drop all around the world."[4]
Having heard only the preview of the track, Entertainment Weekly's Michael Slezak stated that the song "sounds like it has the potential to be a power-ballad smash".[6]
Music video
The official music video was released on October 21, 2009, through Myspace.[7][8] The video portrays Lambert walking placidly through a disaster scene, like those portrayed in 2012. Footage from the film and the clips of Adam singing are edited together.
Another music video, popularized on YouTube does not show Lambert at all, but rather a disaster sequence showing the lead characters of the film attempting to escape the destruction of Los Angeles, California.
In the movie, a slightly different version of the song is played during the closing credits.
Chart performance
On the chart week ending November 7, 2009, "Time for Miracles" debuted at number 50 on the Billboard Hot 100. In the United States, the song has sold 124,000 legal digital downloads.[9]
