I do it every time I say too much, then I cross the line I trip on my words again I wonder if I tell the truth Would he go? Would he stay? Would he want me? Would I laugh? Would I cry? Would it haunt me? Oh, I don't know what to do I'm in love with the feeling of fallin' I get drunk on the thought that he wants it If I'm honest Yeah, I get nauseous thinkin’ about what he might say If I told him I would wait for him forever Is that too honest? I do it every timе I say too much, then I cross the line I trip on my words again I wondеr if I tell the truth Would he go? Would he stay? Would he want me? Would I laugh? Would I cry?

Solo - Aubrey Barnhouse Bass - Conner Stroh Vocal Percussion - Nik Bakos Arrangement - Tom Anderson Originally Performed by - Couch Written by - Eric Tarlin, Tema Siegel, Zach Blankstein Saturday Rest can wait I got a list a million letters long Nothing planned till I reach the end No reward I can’t afford To indulge in pleasures till this list is gone Reverie won’t get the best of me And I try, I try, I try But I just can’t get it right Am I the only one? Yeah I try, I try, I try Yet the end is not in sight In sight What’s it like To close your eyes Without time bombs ticking off inside your head? Lay me down–and I get stressed out And I try, I try, I try But I just can’t get it right Am I the only one? Yeah I try, I try, I try Yet the end is not in sight In sight Wake up Saturday morning I can't afford indulgin' Until my list is through No end is in sight I can't get it right I'm tryin' Every day goes by And I find another line below And I ask myself Is this what it is to be full-grown? Measure life by lines And you’ll never find the time to go slow In the afterlife, will I make some time? Will I learn to let it go? And I try, I try, I try But I just can’t get it right Am I the only one? Yeah I try, I try, I try oh Yet the end is not in sight No it’s not in sight And I try, I try, I try But I just can’t get it right Am I the only one? Yeah I try, I try, I try oh Yet the end is not in sight In sight Oh no no no Wake up Saturday morning I can't afford indulgin' Until my list is through No end is in sight I can't get it right I'm tryin' Written by - Eric Tarlin, Tema Siegel, Zach Blankstein

Original Song by Kristen Noble Solo - Kristen Noble Bass - Aiden Fleming Vocal Percussion - Nik Bakos Arrangement - Tom Anderson I knew a voice that filled this house I'm growin' up and growin' out Now I sit behind a sun-faded steerin' wheel Sobbin''bout the girl in the strawberry field When through my blurry eyes the sunbeams change I'm in mourning of the Sunday mornin' solvin' riddles, Spinnin' circles 'round my room. I'm in mourning I can't keep ignorin' That goodbyes are hard to swallow, Sweetness and sorrow I changed the paint from pink to gray And I loved a boy who couldn't stay Now I sit behind a sun-faded steerin' wheel Watch the trees speedin' past the see-through shield And through their blurry shapes The sun peeks out. I'm in mourning of the Sunday mornin' Fallin' raindrops, silver shadows in my room I'm in mourning, I can't keep ignoring That goodbyes are hard to swallow, Sweetness and sorrow Starin' at the sky before sleepin' Memorize the stars on the ceiling Galaxies that I'm leavin' behind Through it all I can't forget the feelin' God, I miss blindly believin' Magic was alive on Lost Creek Drive I'm in mournin of the Sunday mornin' Hangin' pictures, floatin' dust specks in my room I'm in mournin' I can't keep ignoring That goodbyes are hard to swallow, Sweetness and sorrow Written by Kristen Noble

Original Song by Jasmine Cosby Solo - Jasmine Cosby Bass - Conner Stroh Vocal Percussion - Nik Bakos Arrangement - Tom Anderson What an outstanding actor you were When you said you would always pick me over her And it's not like I ever ask for much Do you miss me, I know I miss your touch What an outstanding actor you were Clearly not an amateur Remember when you said that I was paranoid For worrying about you and her? Another mixed girl, another singer Who twists her hair around her finger when she's scared I wish you would listen, I wish you cared What an outstanding actor you were When you said you would always pick me over her And it's not like I ever ask for much Do you miss me, I know I miss your touch What an outstanding actor you were Clearly not an amateur Remember when you said that you were gettin' bored? We had fought the night before And you had left and slammed the door Another argument, another lonely night Where I just sit and cry after another fight I wish you would listen, I wish I wasn't right What an outstanding actor you were When you said you would always pick me over her And it's not like you ever cared for much But when you kissed me I knew you held a grudge What an outstanding actor you were Clearly not an amateur Remember, remember, Remember what you said Clearly not an amateur Written by - Jasmine Cosby

How could I be? Trying to find the lightswitch in the dark Burying the good girl I know I'm not Now rewind the tape back to the start Said I'd never leave you, but here we are And you can't look at me now I haven't changed, I'm still the same But you can't look at me now A hand grenade to throw away Wrote myself a letter Just a single question When you finally get this Where will you be? Will you be a shipwreck or a star Falling for a boy who doesn't play guitar? Now rewind the tape back to the start Said I'd never leave you, but here we are And you can't look at me now I haven't changed, I'm still the same But you can't look at me now A hand grenade to throw away I can't run anymore, I can't run anymore Gotta stay right here and face the storm I can't run anymore, I can't run anymore I can't run anymore (I can't run anymore) Gotta stay right here and face the storm I can't run anymore (I can't run anymore) Gotta stay right here and face the storm I can't run anymore (I can't run anymore) Gotta stay right here, stay right here I can't run anymore I can't run anymore I can't run anymore I can't run anymore Oh I can't run I can't run anymore I can't run anymore I can't run anymore I can't run anymore I can't run anymore I can't run anymore I can't run anymore I can't run, I can't run I haven't changed, I'm still the same Wrote myself a letter Just a single question Written by - Caroline Polachek, Daniel Nigro, Danny L Harle

about

20 Years of TAG - It is hard to believe. The 20th edition of TAG proved to be a very special edition. The year appeared to be off to a great start after our first performance in September only to be followed just a few days later by the devastation of hurricane Ian. The beautiful paradise that we call home would never be the same. When the storm finally passed, three of our members had lost their homes and one member and her family had to swim, carrying animals, from their home to a home on higher ground down the street in 120 mph winds just to survive. The others had to deal with the emotional trauma of a category 5 hurricane sitting on top of us for nearly 18 hours, not knowing if their houses would survive the pounding winds and rain. When the storm finally passed and pictures and videos started surface, we couldn't believe our eyes and our hearts were broken. So many of our favorite places on Fort Myers Beach were just gone. Not damaged, just gone. The iconic Fort Myers Beach pier, which is the cover of our CARA winning album, Sunny Days, was just gone. We all had some of our friends that lost everything. We ended up being out of school for over three weeks. We got together before school reopened to reconnect and sing. We sang a little, but did much more reconnecting, embracing, telling our stories, and just being normal high school kids again. It didn't matter though, it was what we needed and it bonded us like no other group in our history. We also resolved to overcome this tragedy and make this year one that we would never forget.

We were fortunate to be able to work with Will Cabaniss to create an ICHSA set like none other that TAG had ever performed. It was group focused instead of solo focused and we connected with it instantly. Coming to sing together was a joy. We won our quarterfinal and placed third in the semifinal with our set that never failed to emotionally affect many audience members. Performing at the National A Cappella Convention was a highlight for us as we were able to share our story with so many other students that also loved doing what we do.

We had a 20th anniversary concert and had nearly 40 TAG alumni return to sing with us. During that concert, we performed our set one final time. At the release of the final note and final breathe, which end this album, there was an immediate and spontaneous group hug on stage that was filled with buckets full of tears. We loved every moment of our journey and this group was such an important part of our recovery.

This year's brilliant album cover by Annie Vardanyan (TAG Alum '20) really captures what this group was - 21 different people combined to create 1.

Once again, we have come up with songs that bring us joy, and we hope that you can hear that joy in these songs. 2023 CARA winner for Best Original Song, Kristen Noble, wrote another original for this album. This time with a personal take on ending this chapter of her life and moving on to the next. With 2/3 of the group being seniors, this song has special meaning for so many as we say goodbye to TAG, Cypress Lake and our families and head on to college life.

There is another original song on the album by Jasmine Cosby. Jazz has wowed us for years with her original songs at Cabarets and we are so excited to bring this one to you.

The twentieth edition of TAG was a journey that no one could have predicted at the beginning of the year, but ended up being one that will live with us always. As always, we hope that these songs can bring you as much joy as we had recording them.
