This is from the new Leeland record. I found this song, "Brighter Days" to be my favorite on the record. It's a great piano driven song with a soaring chorus. Points well to the eschatological hope that we have as Christians, that one day Jesus will return to make all things right.
To me Leeland is a bit of a breath of fresh air in Christian music. They seem to be sort of a throw back. What I mean by that is that in the 80s and 90s it seemed that Christian music was allowed to be much more explicitly and robustly theological. These days what dominates is the "grace/place/seek your face/run the race" kind of songs. My sense is that Leeland moves us beyond that type of song and dwells in more theologically rich content. Check them out.

An question to all piano players... why must every song we hear the is lead on the piano be the endless droning of quarter notes... I would venture to say that almost every song I hear that features the piano has the pianist droning chords out on quarters... Drives me crazy.. the piano is so much cooler and has so much more to offer us than chorded quarter notes.
Nevertheless it's a great song.
