The song relies heavily on a raw acoustic feel that pulls inspiration straight from 90s alternative rock rather than traditional Broadway writing. I've played the piano book and the violin book for this show, funnily enough, and as far as rock musicals go I think it works very effectively. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🎹 Thoughts From the Bench: The groove here is everything. On piano I'm imitating the fingerpicked guitar so you can let out your plaintive teenage angst over top. It's a short song so we don't need to make a huge meal of it, but it is worth noting that the final version of the main theme on the last page can be a little stronger (in the show you'd have a few more voices join you for volume \u0026amp; intensity, so when singing as a solo you'll have to shoulder that responsibility by yourself).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tuxedo Tracks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53885373055342,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2726\/1550\/files\/Opera_Thumbnail.png?v=1780752030","url":"https:\/\/tuxedotracks.com\/products\/mt-0023-am","provider":"Tuxedo Tracks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
