YOU'LL SEE A MUCH BRIGHTER DAY -- by Bill Pere When was the last time a song really uplifted your spirit? "You'll See a Much Brighter Day" is Bill's first collection of songs for the spirit, with inspirational lyrics, soaring music, and harmonies by the LUNCH Ensemble. The tracks are orchestrated with Bill's distinctive full band arrangements featuring 12-string acoustic guitar and Midi guitar, to support the powerful lyrics. This collection contains several of Bill's most powerful songs, including the original release of "The Crib in the Creche". the full story behind this memorable song can be found at http://www.billpere.com . The song "doG" is an amazing feat of songwriting, as it looks at the world through the eyes of a dyslexic child, and tells a poignant story of God's love, with an unusual twist running through the lyrics. This is a work with great impact. "Letters" is a touching song written in the form of an exchange of letters across four generations of a family. "Christmas Eve, Silent Night" tells the story of Mary and Joseph, as if they were modern day urban teenagers from the wrong side of the tracks. "Song of Love", and all the other songs remind us that we are all loved and cared for by for a power far greater than ourselves. 11 Tracks, 49 minutes, Lyric Sheet Included !
