Bad Flamingo’s Miles pulls you straight into a scorched dream—thick with smoke, tremolo guitar, and the kind of yearning that doesn’t beg for sympathy.
It drags its boots through desert dust, unbothered by resolution. “You pulled me down like the sun / Orange and red and then there was nothing and no one.” It’s a breakup ballad disguised as a western séance.
The duo leans into a gothic blues palette – reverberated twang, rhythmic growl, and vocals soaked in reverb and resignation.
The sound creeps in slowly, then fills every corner like stormlight bleeding through boarded windows.
The chorus rides shotgun: “We were wild for miles / You could hear me from the next county screaming your name.” It’s less a declaration, more a howl that never quite fades.
The production is lean but deliberate. Every guitar strike sounds like it’s dragging something behind it. The tension never lets up, even when the repetition kicks in,“We were, we were, we were…,” like a curse too stubborn to shake.
Miles isn’t about longing. It’s about what’s left behind after the fire’s gone out, but the smoke still knows your name.
Best played at dusk with the windows down and something unsaid in the passenger seat.
Then when the light shifts and you’re craving something with darker edges, slip into Bad Flamingo’s catalogue—gritty, cinematic, and dusted in danger.

Bad Flamingo Miles Lyrics
You pulled me down like the sun
Orange and red and then there was nothing and no one
Stripped as the desert highway
You could see it with headlights and blind faith
We were wild for miles
Driving through the night in the rain
We were wild for miles
You could hear me from the next county screaming your name
Staring through the flickering fire
Our futures could burn apocalyptic desire
The canyons echoed the tone
Give us something to defy we were solid as the stone
We were wild for miles
Driving through the night in the rain
We were wild for miles
You could hear me from the next county screaming your name
We were we were we were we were we were we were we were we were
We were we were we were we were we were we were we were we were
We were wild for miles
Driving through the night and through the rain
We were wild for miles
You could hear me from the next county screaming your name
We were wild
Driving through the night and through the rain
We were wild
Driving through the night and through the rain
