Performance tip
When rehearsing Somebody, use the short lines deliberately; clean releases will keep them from sounding disconnected. For Somebody, that detail will matter more than adding extra volume.
Should you sing it?
Somebody makes sense for a singer who can handle room to shape the lines without cramming them and sell the lyric’s point of view. 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.
