Useful detail

Performance tip

Tourniquet needs one clear preparation choice: use the short lines deliberately; clean releases will keep them from sounding disconnected. That preparation will keep Tourniquet from flattening into one dynamic level.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

With Tourniquet, 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 a clearly recurring hook 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.
