This song, included on the 2019 album “boys,” is a poignant ballad that depicts an unfulfilled romance from a woman’s perspective.
With a range of just over one octave, it’s relatively narrow compared to their other tracks, and its gentle melody set to a slow tempo makes it easy to sing.
However, be mindful that there are high notes using falsetto in the latter half of the chorus and a few other spots.
Because the range is narrow, you can of course adjust the key; for men who struggle with higher registers, lowering the key slightly is recommended.
