Underground
A new take on one of Cody Fry’s most loved songs, this arrangement reinvents the original with a slower, more mysterious sound, as it was designed to be performed in darkness. The choir sings about the experience of waking up underground, not knowing where they are or how to get out—until the moment the light appears, when the arrangement begins to follow the original recording. It features polyphony throughout the choral score, and instrumental scoring that mimics the orchestral version Cody created more recently. With creative staging and lighting possibilities, this is an unforgettable concert or competition piece visually and sonically!

I woke up underground Not a light, not a sound I threw my voice into the dark But the dark had no remark Just repeated what I said Claustrophobic at first Struck by hunger and thirst I stood up and looked around There was nothing to be found Just a world I couldn't see And I heard, "Woo..." I can't see you now I'll find my way Underground Then my fear began to ease From far away whispered a breeze Telling me to move along, there's nothing wrong So I cornered my resolve I took a breath and took a step Encountered metal on my left What a strange thing to find Metal in this place of mine Then a light broke through the black I was standing on a track That little light began to grow There was no where I could go And the ground began to shake No time left to hit the brake That little light was closing in And suddenly I'm floating Love I see you now You found me here Underground (Cody Fry)
