New Songs for Next Chapel (May 24)

Great practice yesterday everyone!  Here's the songs we practiced and talked about:

My Redeemer Lives   Key of E   Chord Chart

Trading My Sorrows   Key of G  Chord Chart
You all have to listen to this one - the full thing.  They do some pretty fun stuff with this one  'Wake up!!!'

Overwhelmed    Key of G   Chord Chart
This is another good one to watch entirely.  I like how they build the song back out of the intro again!

I Surrender    Key of D (or Bm)    Chord Chart

Next Chapel - April 26th Songs

April 20 - great practice today everyone!  I really enjoyed it.  In fact, even if Wednesday doesn't go well, practice as good enough for me  :-)  ...that doesn't mean we shouldn't try our best on Wednesday though.   Tambourine sounds good in every song, so percussionists, if you aren't drumming, please play it!

So our Song Agenda for Wednesday is:

Sing, Sing, Sing    Key of E  Chord Chart

• Intro - instruments chugging like we practiced
• Chorus - just once
• Verse  
• Chorus - 2 times
• Instrumental - E  D   A  A
• Chorus - quiet
• Chorus - Loud and big
• Instrumental - E  D   A   A
• End

Praises    Key of G   Chord Chart

• Keys start
• Verse 1 - Hanna solos - drums - bass on off-beat like in practice
• Chorus - remember breathy - not full voice
• Verse 2 - drums full beat
• Chorus - 2 times - Full band, all singer
• Bridge - 3 full times - quiet first time
• Chorus - no stopping, full band
• Chorus
• Verse 1

Drummers switch while Laura keeps playing keys

Jesus We Love You   Key of G  Chord Chart

• Intro - keys start this one too
• Verse 1 - Julia solos
• Chorus - again - held back, not full singing but breathy
• Verse 2 - everyone sings
• Chorus - 2 times - full band, all singers
• Bridge - 3 times
• Chorus - Band holds first note and comes back in one 2nd 'love you'
• Chorus
• End

Good Good Father    Key of E   Chord Chart

• Chorus - again, breathy
• Verse 2 - we're all in singing and playing
• Chorus - 2 times - full band, all singers

**********************************

So if you haven't heard, our next chapel is on April 26th.  We worked through a few songs for this chapel in last practice.  Next Thursday will be our last practice before this next chapel, so please try and be present.   The four songs we decided on last Thursday (due to this squashed schedule) are:

- The Happy Song   Key of D       Chord Chart
- Praises                   Key of G       Chord Chart
- Good Good Father   Key of E     Chord Chart
- Jesus We Love You  Key of G    Chord Chart

I'm a little uneasy about that one fast song and three slow songs still, but that's the way things stand currently.  I was thinking we could either swap 'The Happy Song' with 'Sing, Sing, Sing' or keep 'The Happy Song' and swap 'Praises' with 'Sing, Sing, Sing'....   Thoughts?
