Tag Yourselves

The Baden St Singers workshop

OLC Primary School Hall 11:00am – 12:30pm

Have you ever met a group of keen singers out in the wild, only to find that you can’t sing together because you don’t know the same songs? Well, teaching 4-part harmony is easier than you think.
Join The Baden Street Singers in learning and teaching the highlights of barbershop harmony, culminating in a chance to ring some glorious chords with other singers.
This workshop will provide attendees with tools to learn, teach and proliferate “tags” – exciting, short, multi-part a cappella excerpts – in their own singing communities. Bring an open mind and your best singing voice!”

HIGHER & HIGHER JACKIE WILSON
Your love lifting me higher
Than I’ve ever been lifted before
So keep it up, quench my desire
And I’ll be at your side forevermore


You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting me (your love keeps lifting me)
Higher, higher and higher (lifting me higher and higher, higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (your love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher and higher, higher)


Now once, I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But then, you came and it soon departed
And you know he never showed his face again


That’s why your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (your love keeps lifting me)
Higher, higher and higher (lifting me higher and higher, higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (your love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher, alright (higher and higher, higher)


I’m so glad, I’ve finally found you
Yes, that one, in a million girl
And now when my loving arms around you
Honey, I can stand up and face the world


Your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (your love keeps lifting me)
Higher, higher and higher (lifting me higher and higher, higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keeps on (your love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher and higher, higher)


Your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (your love keeps lifting me)
Higher, higher and higher (lifting me higher and higher, higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (your love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher and higher, higher)
