The Christianaires Quartet

Artist: The Christianaires Quartet
LP: He's Everything to Me
Song: "Sweeter Than the Day Before"
[ listen ]

Unfortunately, the five (or six) talented young men known as The Christianaires never really became a household name in the conservative religious homes of the American Middle West. This wasn't due to any lack of ingenuity on their part, of course, since the group freely and fearlessly experimented with their sound and image in an effort to find an appreciative audience—as you can tell by glancing at one of their more recent albums here. Hopefully you're able to enjoy "Sweeter Than the Day Before" whether or not you believe in Jesus Christ. Personally, I've found that other enjoyable things can be effectively substituted into the chorus of the song in Jesus' place—for example, just this morning I thought, "You know, every day with Lucky Charms cereal for breakfast is sweeter than the day before!" If that doesn't work, I hope that you're at least able to enjoy The Christianaires' unrelenting use of clever rhymes.
