Performance tips

• This song lives on control, so keep the verses intimate and emotionally restrained.
• The high notes in the chorus need support, not volume, so focus on breath placement rather than power.
• Let the sadness come through calmly; overselling the emotion makes it feel melodramatic instead of sincere.
