Each Moment We’re Alive

A photographic and musical journey – 36 photographs many of them award-winning, illustrating the lyrics of the title song. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated for cancer research and support.

Lyrics and text by Debra Lynn Alt / Photographs by Monica Baer

My friend Monica Baer is a two-time cancer survivor and was treated for breast cancer in 2003. Her story of hope and triumph over cancer is truly inspirational. I had written various songs for different causes and Monica asked if I would be willing to write a song specifically for cancer survivors. My father had just passed away from leukemia, so this became an emotional and professional challenge that I embraced with a full heart, knowing that there could be no better tribute to his love of life and philanthropic ideals.

The result is “Each Moment We’re Alive”, a song that is a synthesis of the stories shared with me by a group of cancer survivors with a desire to have a song that speaks to their journeys. It is my intention that “Each Moment” will help spread the message of hope and the healing aspect of relishing each moment. The new CD is accompanied by the book and were designed together to make a life-affirming gift. -Debra Lynn Alt

In Broad Daylight

In the few years between my first CD and the second, “In Broad Daylight”, I was commissioned to write a song for a friend’s adopted daughter and was asked to write for charitable causes as well, and found that it fit my drive to express myself while simultaneously delivering a message.

My second CD reflects this discovery, while describing a personal journey that has aimed for the higher ground, but which sometimes has run me through the weeds. Yet, as a songwriter, I have struggled to be faithful to the Truth, trusting that is what is reflected most beautifully through music. “In Broad Daylight” connotes the place where we see most vividly.

A Spirited Mother

My first album was born out of my experience of motherhood and my efforts to be a model of authenticity for my daughter. The 18 songs were meant to inspire, soothe and celebrate the fact that the best interests of our children are served only by being true to ourselves.
