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.. |
