Useful detail

Performance tip

When rehearsing The Narcissist, mark breaths before the busier lines so the phrasing stays relaxed. It will give The Narcissist a clearer arc from the first section to the last.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

The Narcissist rewards a singer who knows the lyric well enough to focus on the romantic angle. Its structure offers more changing verse text than repeated hook material, while the words have fairly active phrasing. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
