Performance tip
Before performing Fade to Black, map the verse order carefully because the lyric gives you relatively few repeated lines as landmarks. Use the original recording of Fade to Black to mark exactly where that change happens.
Should you sing it?
Fade to Black is worth singing if a lived-in, first-person delivery comes naturally to you. Expect 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.
