Performance tip

Before performing What It's Like, plan a breath within the longest line, which is about 19 words. That preparation will keep What It's Like from flattening into one dynamic level.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

With What It's Like, do not count on the room to do the work; it is better for a singer ready to own the lyric’s point of view. The song has more changing verse text than repeated hook material and a dense lyric flow. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
