2011 CARA Award Nominee - Best High School Song
Solo - Taylor Nave
Harmony - Lauren Davis
Vocal Percussion - Paul Gavin
Arrangement - Randi Stanley
Originally Performed by - The Veronicas
Oh no
Don't go changing
That's what you told me from the start
Thought you where something different
That's when it all just fell apart
Like you're so perfect
And I can't measure up
Well I'm not perfect
Just all messed up
I was losing myself to somebody else
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not
It's not like I need somebody
Telling me where I should go at night
Don't worry you'll find somebody
Someone to tell how to live their life
Cause your so perfect
And no one measures up
Yeah all by yourself
You're all messed up
I was losing myself to somebody else
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not
Now wait a minute
Because of you
I never knew all the things that I had
Hey don't u get it
I'm not going anywhere with you tonight
Cause this is my life
I was losing myself to somebody else
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
She was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not
But now I see
I don't wanna pretend
So this is the end of you and me
Cause the girl that you want
she was tearing us apart
Cause she's everything
Everything I'm not

Mama Who Bore Me

|
Solo - Eden Shelton
Vocal Percussion - Paul Gavin
Arrangement - Laura Quinn
Originally Performed by - Lea Michelle in Spring Awakening
Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so sad
Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in Heaven, or Bethlehem
Some pray that one day
Christ will come a'-callin'
They light a candle
And hope that it glows
And some just lie there
Crying for him to come and find them
But when he comes they don't know how to go
Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so bad
Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in Heaven, or Bethlehem

Wall Fall Down
02:31
|

|
Solo - Ian Castro
Vocal Percussion - Paul Gavin
Arrangement - Jeff Everett
Originally Performed by Bedouin Soundclash
When the walls fall down
On your old town
Then you begin
See I had these walls
Built up so strong
Built when I was young
In wars I've won
But if I'm alone
Stone upon stone
So tall I could not see
Beyond my wall
But your walls fall down
And your walls fall down
And when walls come down
On your old town
You begin
A bit unassured
A bit insecure
I climbed up
And saw the world I lacked
And my first stone cracked
Foundations collapsed
Standing on the ground
In stone I found
That your walls fall down
And your walls fall down
And when walls come down
On your old town
You begin
Got herd off the land
From where you stand
Beneath a shelter built by many hands
There is a stone
And you've locked the door
Of people you once were
You came for war
And your walls fall down
Walls fall down
Walls fall down
Like a stone falls down
I'm no stone
I'm no stone
Its just a stone
Stone falls down
Says he's a stone
(Walls fall down
Walls fall down)
No man's a stone

Hide and Seek
04:29
|
|||
|
Arrangement - Sunny Park & Dana Huyge
Originally Performed by Imogen Heap
Where are we? What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to fall,
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.
Spin me 'round again and rub my eyes.
This can't be happening.
When busy streets amass with people
Would stop to hold their heads heavy.
Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines.
All those years they were here first.
Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before.
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life.
Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines. (Oh, you won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears (hearts),
They were here first.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best? Of course it is.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
What you say?
Mmm, what did She say?
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.
(Hide and seek)
Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
(Hide and seek)
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.
(Hide and seek)
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
(Hide and seek)
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.

Solo - Cassie Lee & Lauren Davis
Vocal Percussion - Paul Gavin
Arrangement - UNC Loreleis
Originally Performed by - The Cranberries
Oh, my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
I know I felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
I want more
Impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they'll come true
Impossible not to do
Impossible not to do
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me
Oh, my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me

Solo - Tony Sansone
Vocal Percussion - Paul Gavin
Arrangement - Simon Carrington
Originally Performed by - Randy Newman
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live
They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here
Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's a wonderful world)
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love
They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here

Solo - Brittani Newland
Vocal Percussion - Paul Gavin
Arrangement - Laura Quinn
Originally Performed by - KT Tunstall
Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from the page of a magazine
She makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
The power to be
The power to give
The power to see, yeah, yeah (suddenly I see)
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see, yeah, yeah (suddenly I see)
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see, yeah, yeah, yeah (suddenly I see)
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see, yeah, yeah (suddenly I see)
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see, yeah, yeah
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah? (suddenly I see)
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me (suddenly I see)
Suddenly I see (suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

Talk to Me

Solo - Lauren Davis
Vocal Percussion - Paul Gavin
Arrangement - Jeff Everett
Originally Performed by - Keri Noble
There you are again
I see you all the time
We haven't really met yet,
But you know, I don't mind
'Cause I think today's the day
I'm gonna go right up and say to you
Would it be alright
If I called you up sometime?
There you go again
I let you get away
At least I've got more time
To think of what I might say (like)
"Couldn't we be good" (or maybe)
"Don't you think that we should find
Some quiet little place where we'd make love all day?"
Come and talk to me
What are you waiting for
'Cause I can see you passing every day and I'm always wanting more
Come and talk to me
What are you gonna do
'Cause I can't seem to get the nerve to get off my own ass
And come and talk to you
You know I love the type
You look like you've been up all night
And yet somehow still look beautiful
You do it all at the same time
Whenever you walk by
You always look me in the eyes
And in that moment I know
The same thing's on your mind
Come and talk to me
What are you waiting for
'Cause I can see you passing every day and I'm always wanting more
Come and talk to me
What are you gonna do
'Cause I can't seem to get the nerve to get off my own ass
And come and talk to you
It always seems to be that I let the good things pass by
Because I let my fear stop me (but not this time)
Come and talk to me
What are you waiting for
'Cause I can see you passing every day and I'm always wanting more
Come and talk to me
What are you gonna do
'Cause I can't seem to get the nerve to get off my own ass
And come and talk to you

2011 CARA Award Winner for Best High School Solo
2010-11 Best of High School A Cappella Compilation Selection
Solo - Taylor Nave
Vocal Percussion - Paul Gavin
Arrangement - Randi Stanley
Originally Performed by - Sara Bareilles
There's too many things I haven't done yet
There's too many sunsets
I haven't seen
You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down
You would've thought by now
I'd have learned something
I made up my mind when I was a young girl
I've been given this one world
I won't worry it away, no
But now and again I lose sight of the good life
I get stuck in a low light
But then love comes in
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles
And I'll be happy to
Follow you
Love
I do what I can wherever I end up
To keep giving my good love
And spreading it around
'Cause I've had my fair share
Of take care
And goodbyes
I've learned how to cry
And I'm better for that
Sing how far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles
And I'll be happy to
Red letter day I'm in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would
Just carry me away
I've been talking to God
Don't know if it's helping or not
But surely something has got to got to got to give
'Cause I can't keep waiting to live
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles
And I'll be happy to
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
I've been talking to God
Don't know if it's helping or not
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Send me the miles
And I'll be happy to
Follow you
Love
There's too many things I haven't done yet
There's too many sunsets I haven't seen
