Recommendation

Should you sing it?

A Pain That I'm Used to is worth singing if a lived-in, first-person delivery comes naturally to you. Expect some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement 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.
