Rising LA-based Americana-rock band American Mile returns with their most emotionally resonant single yet, “Waiting on a Sunday. ” This stirring ballad about a single mother’s fight to keep her family afloat is from their sophomore album American Dream, out now.
Blending heartfelt lyrics with soaring melodies and rich instrumentation, the song captures the quiet desperation of a woman doing everything she can to feed her children and hold on to hope. “Waiting on a Sunday” is a stellar showcase of American Mile’s gift for storytelling-raw, honest, and deeply human.
The band intended to write something that felt real-something that could be someone’s truth. This song is about when you feel like you’ve tried everything, and all that’s left is to believe in something better, even if it never comes. Will that Sunday ever come? We may never know. But for the woman at the heart of the story, hope lies just beyond the horizon.
American Mile comprises four seasoned Los Angeles-based studio and touring musicians who, like many Los Angeles-based creatives, flocked to the city of angels from small towns to pursue their dreams. With roots deep in classic rock and country, their music is simultaneously nostalgic and unmistakably current, resonating with fans across generations. The band fuses Americana, rock, and soul with cinematic songwriting and powerhouse vocals, hitting those sweet spots that blend heavy-hitting riffs with soulful lyrics that have earned them comparisons to The Black Crowes, The Brothers Osborne, and Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, among others.
