Solo - Callie Atkinson Vocal Percussion - Everett Anderson Arrangement - Ben Bram Originally Performed by Jess Glynne Going through hell, while looking at heaven Found an answer looking for a question Not enough words to make a sentence It’s not easy to find a way How much water to kill a fire? How many lows can take you higher? The only road to your desire It won’t be easy to find a way I don’t know what I believe I won’t let my eyes be deceived The winds whispering through the trees That is not gonna be, not gonna be easy And oh, no rights, no wrongs, take it from me Cause the answers are living indefinitely It’s time to face it, cause you can’t change it No rights, no wrongs, take it from me And no (Na, na, na) Take it from me (Oh, oh, oh) Won’t you just take it from me (Na, na, na) Oh, na, na, na, na No rights, no wrongs take it from me How many laughs to make me happy? I’m counting stars, they make me lucky How many turns ‘til I find me? It’s not easy to find a way How many lies, ‘til a confession How many prayers, lead to a blessing How many burns, to learn a lesson Now, it’s not easy to find a way I don’t know what I believe I won’t let my eyes be deceived The winds whispering through the trees That is not gonna be, not gonna be easy And oh, no rights, no wrongs, take it from me Cause the answers are living indefinitely It’s time to face it, cause you can’t change it No rights, no wrongs, take it from me And no (Na, na, na) Take it from me (Oh, oh, oh) Won’t you just take it from me (Na, na, na) Oh, na, na, na, na No rights, no wrongs take it from me Talk to a stranger and take wrong turns Cause in this moment we will make it work Dance with devils, and taste the burn Cause in this moment we will make it work Oh, oh, no, no, yea, yea Oh, no, no, no, no And oh, no rights, no wrongs, take it from me Cause the answers are living indefinitely It’s time to face it, cause you can’t change it No rights, no wrongs, take it from me And no (Na, na, na) Take it from me (Oh, oh, oh) Won’t you just take it from me (Na, na, na) Oh, na, na, na, na No rights, no wrongs take it from me Written by Janee Millicent Lucy Bennett, Knox Brown, Jessica Hannah Glynne,James Richard Newman, Jonathon Coffer, Finlay Dow Sith, Alan Lomax

Solo - Kennedy Floethe Vocal Percussion - Everett Anderson Arrangement - Tom Anderson Originally Performed by Christina Perri All of the lights land on you The rest of the world fades from view And all of the love I see Please please say you feel it too And all of the noise I hear inside Restless and loud, unspoken and wild And all that you need to say To make it all go away Is that you feel the same way too And I know The scariest part is letting go 'Cause love is a ghost you can’t control I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now So let the words slip out of your mouth And all of the steps that led me to you And all of the hell I had to walk through But I wouldn’t trade a day for the chance to say My love, I’m in love with you And I know The scariest part is letting go 'Cause love is a ghost you can’t control I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now So let the words slip out of your mouth I know that we’re both afraid We both made the same mistakes An open heart is an open wound to you And in the wind of a heavy choice Love has a quiet voice Still your mind, now I’m yours to choose And I know The scariest part is letting go Let my love be the light that guides you home And I know The scariest part is letting go 'Cause love is a ghost you can’t control I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now So let the words slip out of your mouth Written by Christina Perri, David Harris and David Hodges

2015-2016 was quite a journey for TAG, literally and figuratively. Traveling to the Betsy Festival in Miami Beach in October gave the group some indication of what was to come as we received rousing standing ovations for our performance. Next came the ICHSA Southeast Semifinal. After 8 years of being the runner-up or third place, we put together an amazing performance and earned the invitation to the finals in New York for the first time since 2007. Our community really embraced us and through countless donations and concert opportunities beyond our wildest imagination, all of our members were able to travel to New York, all expense paid. A trip to Memphis for the National A Cappella Convention and New York City for the ICHSA Finals in the space of ten days was a whirlwind and created memories that we will be sharing with our grandchildren in 50 years. With all of the generosity we have received, we want to be able to express our gratitude. We have named this album "Part of Me" to thank all of our donors for being so supportive and an essential part of our success. TAG means so much to all of us, and we are so thankful it means that much to all of you.

"I've yet to see them live, but I listen to The A Cappella Group so often that I suppose I'm a groupie all the same. If you're reading this review, you're interested in a cappella, and rest assured, you'll like Part of Me. Per tradition, TAG's soloists are in a league of their own; the song selection is diverse and interesting; the production is crisp but never too artificial; and the arrangements are richly complex and daring. It's a pretty major achievement when all of these areas are served to listeners so beautifully, and this was primarily achieved by having a director who can manage a high-caliber project through his seasoned experiences while harnessing the very best from his talented singers." - Kimberly Raschka Sailor, rarb.org
