Long Live
J.W.Pepper Editor's Choice Arrangement!
From Taylor Swift's 2010 "Speak Now" album, this song expresses emotions of celebration for the accomplishments of a group and gratitude for those who supported them. It's been transformed into a joyful closer with a faster tempo, heightened intensity, and plenty of 'spotlight' moments for your group. The chart features a high belt soprano solo for the second verse, leading into a final chorus that will get the whole crowd clapping along as they remember their own glory days!
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto, Tenor Sax

I said remember this moment In the back of my mind The time we stood with our shaking hands The crowds in stands went wild We were the kings and the queens And they read off our names The night you danced like you knew our lives Would never be the same Long live the walls we crashed through How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made" And bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid Hold on to spinning around Confetti falls to the ground May these memories break our fall So remember this feeling And pass the pictures around So when they point to the pictures We can tell them our names Tell them how the crowds went wild Tell them how we hope they shine Long live all the mountains we moved I had the time of my life with you I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made" And long, long live that look on your face Long live the walls we crashed through The lights were shining for me and you Bring on all the pretenders One day, we will be remembered! (Taylor Swift)
