Vancouver native Devin Belanger, better known as Miles Away, creates music that feels like flipping through an old photo album. His unique blend of electronic and indie sounds captures those bittersweet moments when memories flood back unexpectedly. As a producer, songwriter, and vocalist, he crafts songs that dance between past and present, weaving organic elements with digital textures. His emotional storytelling caught industry attention, earning him a nomination for Electronic & Dance Artist of The Year at the 2020 Western Canadian Music Awards.
Miles Away’s new single “Besides Hope” is a stunning journey that starts softly with emotional piano work before blending into something magical. He has mixed lo-fi-inspired EDM beats with electro synths that create a dreamy atmosphere while the raw, gorgeous vocals just pull you in deeper. Around the one-minute mark, the track transforms into this cinematic experience that makes you want to lose yourself completely – the kind of song that has you singing along involuntarily, forgetting everything else.

The production shines when those crisp beats kick in, taking the whole thing to another level. There’s something special about the chorus – it has this anthemic quality that just lifts your spirits every time it comes around. You can’t help but feel better when it hits.
What really gets me is how the song tackles some heavy themes while keeping this uplifting vibe. It’s all about growing up and losing that childhood innocence, you know? The lyrics hit home when he talks about missing those simpler times when we thought we had forever ahead of us. But it’s not all melancholy. There’s a beautiful message about finding strength in connections and not having to face life’s challenges alone. The way Miles Away has mixed in themes of vulnerability and resilience while emphasizing the power of human connection – it’s beautifully done.
