Sing backingvocals with the popsong
EMJ - Neerpelt

introduction : sing backingvocals with a popsong
In popmusic, they use a lot of harmonizing backingvocals. It is actually a kind of vocal instrument adding to the arrangement.

In almost every case the chords are quite easy, and every part is singing the same words.

This workshop is meant to enjoy a poptune by singing the backings.

Coming around again (lyrics)
​

I been sitting in the darkness
But the sunlight's creeping in
Now the ice is slowly melting
In my soul and in my skin
All the good times my friend, yeah, yeah
Are coming around again
Oh yeah

I been thinking, reminiscing
Of better nights and better days
Hiding in a refuge of memories I've made
I got a feeling within, within
It's coming around again

We been so long waiting
For the all time high
We got a damn good reason
So put your troubles aside
And all your winter sorrows
Hang 'em out to dry
Throw it away, you gotta throw it away
All the colorful days my friend
Are coming around again


I got someone waiting for me
It's been so long since we met
And I may not be your salvation
But I'll offer nonetheless
And if like me you wanna take that dance
It's coming around again
Ooh yeah


We been so long waiting..

I can feel a change of fortune
No more riding on my love
Feel the weight is off my shoulders
As my feet become unstuck
And all the good times on which we do depend


We been so long waiting..
