New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Lisa Dawn Miller (lisadawnmiller.com) rings in the holiday season with "My Favorite Time of Year," a collection of original holiday songs and a nod to her father, legendary songwriter, Ron Miller (1932-2007) (ronmillersongbook.com), with the inclusion of his classic, "Someday at Christmas."
The title track, "My Favorite Time of Year," is an upbeat recording expressing the joy of the season while "We'll Always Have Christmas Eve" is about memories of times past. Lisa wrote "A Miracle" with producer/songwriter Mark Matson (with whom she wrote all the original songs on the EP with), for her disabled niece, Angelique, who expressed to her aunt how her imaginary friends got her through her childhood in a sometimes not-so-nice world. "A Christmas Truce" is about unofficial ceasefires during World War I around Christmas 1914 when soldiers from opposing sides, against orders, put war aside to share peace and unity for one day. "It's Christmas" is about the excitement shared during the holidays and "A New Year" is about looking forward. While the lyrics to her father's song, "Someday at Christmas," are inspiring and about hope, Lisa puts a serious tone on the classic, reflecting scary times of discord an unrest.
