Performance tip

When rehearsing The First Taste, separate the verses through changes in emphasis, then make the recurring lines the clearest part of the arrangement. Rehearse that transition in The First Taste before worrying about stage movement.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

The First Taste is worth singing if a consistent emotional point of view 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.
