Performance tips
- The talking starts IMMEDIATELY- be ready!
- Treat the verses like a frantic monologue; the timing is more about following the conversational rhythm of the story than a strict melody.
- Don't be afraid to exaggerate the "nervous" energy in your voice—this song relies on the character's mounting impatience.
- There is only one brief instrumental lull near the end (around the 1:45 mark); use that 10-second gap to reset your breath for the final vocal push.
