Performance tip
When rehearsing Candy, mark breaths before the busier lines so the phrasing stays relaxed. For Candy, that detail will matter more than adding extra volume.
Should you sing it?
Candy rewards a singer who knows the lyric well enough to focus on the lyric’s point of view. Its structure offers some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement, while the words have fairly active phrasing. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
