Miles of Gratitude (DannyHO)

Miles of Gratitude is DannyHO’s most heartfelt and human record yet a soulful tribute to mentorship, perseverance, and legacy. Blending soul-pop, Americana, and retro R&B warmth, the album moves through 12 deeply personal songs that honor those who teach us to stand, fight, and grow.

Across its journey from the reflective “Coach, I Hear You” to the gospel-soul energy of “Run the Way You Taught Me”, the funky swagger of “Under Your Whistle”, and the cinematic tenderness of “The Field You Built” the album transforms gratitude into groove. Each track is a thank-you letter in sound: gospel choirs lift, horns burst with joy, and Rhodes chords glow beneath emotionally raw vocals.

The latter half blooms into introspection and grace: Lantern in My Hands, The Quiet Call, and The Ground Beneath My Feet bring orchestral folk-pop intimacy, closing with Under the Same Sky — a communal world-pop anthem celebrating unity and enduring love.

✨ For fans of: Jon Batiste, Stevie Wonder, John Mayer, and Jacob Collier.
🎧 Sound palette: 70s-inspired funk, soft rock, modern soul ballads, cinematic folk storytelling.

Lantern in My Hands

Bamboo Winds

I thought about this song a long time ago — during the time of Covid, when many people were sick, afraid, and far from one another. Later, when the war began, these thoughts grew deeper. I kept thinking about how people promise each other, “I will never leave you.” Yet in our world, even when we truly love someone, we can lose them — through sickness, accidents, or war.

But when we bring God into this story, everything changes.
Because even when life separates us, even when death comes, God never leaves us, and we never have to leave Him. That is how this song was born — from sadness, but also from faith and hope.

🌿 About the Song
At first, this song sounds like a man and a woman singing to each other, promising to stay together forever. But as it continues, we realise they are both singing to God. They discover that He is the One who truly unites them, the One who never abandons His children. Their two voices become one — not a love song between people anymore, but a prayer rising together to Heaven.

This song may sound a little sad at first, but it gives hope, meaning, and joy. It reminds us that even in pain or loss, love never disappears when it is joined with God. The melody carries both sorrow and peace — like a divine light shining through stormy night.

🎶 Lyrics

Verse 1 – (woman’s voice)
Ты меня никогда не оставишь,
Ты меня никогда не покинешь.
Ты мой свет, Ты мой путь освещаешь,
Ты мой путь в бесконечной долине.

(You will never leave me,
You will never forsake me.
You are my light, You guide my way,
You lead me through the endless valley.)

Verse 2 – (man’s voice)
Я Тебя никогда не оставлю,
Я Тебя никогда не покину.
Своей верой и делом прославлю,
И с Тобою в пути я не сгину.

(I will never leave You,
I will never forsake You.
By my faith and my deeds I will glorify You,
And with You on the road I will not be lost.)

Chorus – (together)
Мы Его никогда не оставим,
Мы Его никогда не покинем.
С Ним ненастье мы с миром встречаем,
Все сомненья мы в сердце отринем.

(We will never leave Him,
We will never forsake Him.
With Him we face storms in peace,
And we cast away all doubt from our hearts.)

Verse 3 – (together)
Только Он нас во век не оставит,
Только Он нас во век не покинет.
Наши души любовью исправит,
И в молитве все страсти остынут.

(Only He will never leave us,
Only He will never forsake us.
He will heal our souls with His love,
And in prayer our passions will grow still.)

Verse 4 – (together)
Мы с Тобой через радость и горе
Будем вместе идти, не бояться.
С нами Бог, и в любой непогоде
Мы над бедами будем смеяться.

(We will walk with You through joy and sorrow,
Together, unafraid.
God is with us, and in every storm
We will smile above our troubles.)


The words “Ты меня никогда не оставишь” echo the promise of Christ:

“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
— Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV)

Even when we are sad, this song gives hope.
Even when we cry, it reminds us that God’s love brings light and peace.
And when we walk with Him, we can face anything — because He will never leave us.

You will never leave me. V5
