“Waiting for the Miracle” by Graham Miller

In 1992, Leonard Cohen Released the song “Waiting for the Miracle”, which tells a story of an aging man lamenting the time he has wasted waiting for the miraculous, transformative relationship that will make him feel connected, to feel loved. Photographer Graham Miller was stuck in this song for a while. One day on his way home, he heard this song again on radio and made him think about the experience of living in Perth, one of the world’s most isolated cities.
