Steve Poltz Shares ‘Miles In My Heart’ Single

Steve Poltz released a new single, “Miles In My Heart.” The song is set to land on the renowned singer-songwriter’s forthcoming album, Stardust & Satellites, arriving via Red House Records on February 18.

Stardust & Satellites follows Poltz’s 2019 LP, Shine On. Steve announced his 14th solo LP — produced by The Wood Brothers’ Oliver Wood and Jano Rix — in November and shared the led single, “Conveyor Belt.”

Steve co-wrote the new single, “Miles In My Heart,” with fellow Nashville singer-songwriter Maya De Vitry who also added vocals on the track. Poltz detailed the new tune in a press release:

My friend Maya Di Vitry came over to my home in Nashville to write some songs. We get along well, and we thought it’d be fun to collaborate on something. We sat in my writing room and sorta threw ideas at each other. She had the beginning chord progression and we just started making up words. Before we knew it, we had a couple verses and a chorus. Then we came to the inevitable fork in the road – Do we bridge or don’t we bridge? I started singing something totally off-kilter and Maya dug it and we followed the bridge and completed the construction with all the proper permits and after bribing a few city officials, we ended up with the permits for our confounding little bridge. I love the feel of this bridge and how it leads back into a nice third verse – ‘Forgive me for the words I’ve spoken out of haste I wanna reconcile/There’s been a couple years I’ve been busy lighting matches and burnin’ miles.’ Then it throws up back into the singalong chorus: ‘Miles in my heart, miles in my mind, everywhere I look I’m lookin’ behind/Miles in my heart, miles in my mind as if I’m gonna know where I was goin’ this time.’ I was pretty happy with the results, so I decided to record it. I feel like Oliver Wood and Jano Rix of The Wood Brothers really added a lot to this song and the recording.
