Performance tip
Before performing Crying Lightning, plan a breath within the longest line, which is about 16 words. For Crying Lightning, that detail will matter more than adding extra volume.
Should you sing it?
Crying Lightning makes sense for a singer who can handle fairly active phrasing and sell the emotional tension. It has more changing verse text than repeated hook material. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
