thenback number
The hidden gem “then” by back number.
These days, back number tends to focus on warm, ballad-centric songs, but at the time this track was released, their sound was put together with a louder, rock-oriented taste.
This song is no exception, finished with a somewhat rough-edged feel.
With a rougher arrangement, the vocalist’s timbre becomes important; at the same time, since this style can more easily disguise imperfections, there’s no need to match pitch with extreme precision.
If anything, prioritizing the vibe and weaving in effective shouts will likely make it sound better.

With its familiar, easy-to-sing melody, it’s a number whose emotional message offers soothing comfort, making it feel great to sing at karaoke.
