Solo - Callie Atkinson Vocal Percussion - Everett Anderson Arrangement - Tom Anderson Originally Performed by - Clean Bandit feat. Louisa Johnson I tried hard to make you want me But we're not supposed to be And the truth will always haunt me Even though it set me free And my tears flow like the ocean As they floated in the breeze They were falling in slow motion And they brought me to my knees You're haunting me, taunting me all in my brain Turn off the light and now all that remains Fills me with doubt And I'm shouting your name out loud Why do you wanna put me through the pain? I get the feeling I'll never escape I can't hide away from the shame of you Tears on the ground, tears on my pillow You won't bring me down And I'll get over you These tears will get me through And I'll get over you I'll get over you I'll get over you I'll get over you I'll get over you When did you lose your emotion? When did you become so cruel? And if you want to cut me open Says a thousand words 'bout you And in time I know you'll leave me Like a distant memory I know love can be so easy If I start by loving me, oh You're haunting me, taunting me all in my brain Turn off the light and now all that remains Fills me with doubt And I'm shouting your name out loud Why do you wanna put me through the pain? I get the feeling I'll never escape I can't hide away from the shame of you Tears on the ground, tears on my pillow You won't bring me down And I'll get over you I'll get over you I'll get over you I'll get over you Tears on the ground, rain at my window The pain washes out And I'll get over you These tears will get me through And I'll get over you I'll get over you I'll get over you I'll get over you I don't need you to call me tonight I'll get over you I don't need you to see if I'm alright I'll get over you You left me, so leave me, I'm fine I'll be here getting on with my life Tears on the ground, tears on my pillow You won't bring me down I'll get over you Rain in the window, the pain washes out I'll get over you Tears on the ground, rain at my window The pain washes out And I'll get over you Oh, yeah, I'll get over you I'll get over... I'll get over you Written by Jack Robert Patterson & Samuel Elliot Roman

2018 CARA Nominee for Best Professional Arrangement for a Scholastic Group Solo - Mark Sheme Harmony - Bridget MacPherson Arrangement - Tom Anderson Originally Performed by - The Arcadian Wild Woe to thee with fearful eyes, their lighthouse is burning up And down goes the ship, in which they wasted their whole lives Cursed are tongues that speak in only “can’t’s,” and “won’t’s” And “Oh, what if” the world went and died, left you buried in regrets? You never kissed the ceiling Broke are feet with timid souls that only move an inch, no more No, don’t you even try to take a step the other way Useless are the hands the rule, they’re tightly bound, so fake, so full of fear that someday they’re handed opportunity They never kissed the ceiling Blessed are the minds that need no disguise That fly up o’er mountain Dance like an empress, you’ll impress them all Unmask the beauty you’re given Shame to thee with harden hearts, feel for nothing, cry for none Your own flesh and blood, ripped of life before your eyes Sickened are the selfish souls that spread disease to those with hope They steal away the ones that try to save the mess they’ve made They never kissed the ceiling Blessed are the minds that need no disguise That fly up o’er mountain Dance like an empress, you’ll impress them all Unmask the beauty you’re given And kiss the ceiling Woe to thee with fearful eyes, their lighthouse is burning up And down goes the ship, in which they wasted their whole lives Written by Isaac Horn

English Translation When you were together with me, That light was celestial. What more could I ask for? I found the happiness. Without notice, we left our paradise, and now your memory makes a shadow to my heart. Today marks the month that you still don't see me. You went, nothing more, You gave up on loving me, Oh, and how you hurt! While I think on you, And in that I lost it, I would like to avoid To see me allowed me to love you, For to lose you, And you hurt me, Oh, how you hurt! The bumps on the skin, They leave marks and after they leave. They go, they go, they go, But you broke me in two, And I can't find repair. Without notice, we left our paradise, And now your memory makes a shadow to my heart. Today marks the month that you still don't see me. You went, nothing more, You gave up on loving me, Oh, and how you hurt! While I think on you, And in that I lost it, I would like to avoid To see me allowed me to love you, For to lose you, And you hurt me, Oh, how you hurt! Go to be free and to be happy. Already give the same here. With me is someone I knew, It is a stranger and the pain let go. Today marks the month that you still don't see me. You went, nothing more, You gave up on loving me, And you hurt me, you hurt, you hurt. While I think on you and in that I lost it, I would like to avoid To see me allowed me to love you, And you don't know how you hurt, You hurt, You hurt, You hurt me, You really hurt me! https://lyricstranslate.com/en/dueles-hurt.html#songtranslation

The 10th album from TAG brings upbeat a cappella covers with amazing solos and arrangements.

"This release was delayed when school was cancelled for three weeks after Hurricane Irma rolled through Florida. I'm sure you can understand how wild and disruptive that must have been for Cypress Lake and scores of Floridian communities. But TAG albums are worth the wait — few groups encompass the upbeat, hopeful, downright cheerful vibe of determined, optimistic youth quite like TAG does. You can hear it and feel it in every song — while many young vocal groups are embracing all-angsty set lists, this ship is still upright and headed toward a pink horizon. It's refreshing and really needed." - Kimberly Raschka Sailor, rarb.org

Absolutely no instruments were used in the making of this recording.
