Useful detail

Performance tip

Keep the opening controlled and save the strongest volume for the final chorus; pushing early makes the ending harder.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Choose this for a men-focused recommendation list or a singer looking for a proven lead-vocal staple when you want a reliable men's selection. It asks for a broad range and little room to hide in the climactic lines, and the chorus gives the room a clear place to join.
