Through a recent discussion, the artist shared the tracks that characterize important moments in his life, giving an insight into his intimate preferences and musical inspirations.
Even though he does not usually like karaoke, following several drinks, he'd choose the classic “My Way” from the legendary singer. The artist adores its words: “I’ve had some regrets, but far too few to dwell on.” This is a hit with listeners, and Miles also appreciates the British singer’s version.
If he entertains friends, he selects a bit of Motown hits. This music recalls thoughts of family parties where Miles' grandmother and mother used to move to the music. “Can’t Help Myself” from the Four Tops creates that great sense of community. Should you wish to harmonize a vibe in any space, club, or club, these tunes leaves one happy.
“The Drugs Don’t Work” by the Verve has such somber words, but an extremely sing-along melody, and triggers deep sentiment for Miles.
The track “Get It On” by T. Rex boasts the flawless mix of glamour, masculine, and theatrical elements. There’s just a certain quality in the way Marc Bolan sings and sings the sensuality. The song makes listeners want to move, but Bolan’s vocal delivery is very understated. It’s still the ultimate badass rock and roll song of all time.
The single “No Limit” by 2 Unlimited, as a tape single, purchased at Woolworths or HMV in Liverpool.
“Because I Got High” from Afroman is one more song from his childhood. Miles doesn’t understand why it comes to mind, just it was instinct that brought it up. The musician joked, “You must think I’m mental!”
Miles has had moments where he wept to “For Your Lover, Give Some Time” from the singer Richard Hawley, especially during tough times, separations, or comparable circumstances. He finds its message incredibly understandable and honest. He has definitely experienced a time similar alone.
He admits he doesn’t typically have intimate moments to songs. Did he ever attempted his own music? Never, he hasn’t. The musician believes that’s all a bit “Tom Cruise”, saying, “Just don’t give me any ideas!”
Miles received the Oasis …There and Then VHS as a Christmas gift when he turned 11, so he is likely to choose the track “Cigarettes and Alcohol”.
For his funeral, he would like “The Good Life” from the duo Billy Joel and Tony Bennett to be played.
