Recommendation

Should you sing it?

With Don't Look Back into the Sun, 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 room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
