Up Above My Head
as performed by Kirk Franklin’s Nu Nation
Lyrics:
Up above my head I hear music in the air;
Up above my head there’s a melody so bright
and fair I can hear when I’m all alone,
even in those times when I feel all hope is gone.
Up above my head I hear joy-bells ringing;
Up above my head I hear angels singing.
There must be a God somewhere,
There must be a God somewhere.
I hear music in the air, I hear music everywhere: there must be a God somewhere
[Tenor and bass also sing ‘I hear music, I hear music: there must be a God somewhere’]
There must be a God somewhere…

What A Day That Will Be
by Jim Hill
It’s very hard to find a version like the one we’re doing: I’m still looking! So, please use this video as a reminder of the song – but not necessarily how it goes. We sing different rhythms here and there, and our harmonies are different, so please use the audio files underneath for the ‘definitive’ version (for us).

You Brought Me Back To Life
by Brian Eichelberger and Zach Bolen, arr. Nicolas Gold and Daren Allder
The original, by Citizens and Saints, is very different from our version, but you can see it here if you’re in an 80’s retro mood:
Audio guides (on each, the named voice is prominent and there’s an instrument playing the notes too). The Soprano, Tenor and Bass guides also have a little of the Alto part (panned to the left), to provide some context, as the Altos have more singing in the verses.
