Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Choose Love Will Tear Us Apart when a lived-in, first-person delivery suits you. It has some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement, with room to shape the lines without cramming them. Crowd recognition should be strong, but its singalong score of 5/10 suggests the room will mostly wait for the hook.
