What the voice is asked to do
A piano ballad whose whole design is the leap from a murmured verse to a chorus that sits on sustained Ab4s and Bb4s in full voice. The span is only an octave and a fifth, but the tessitura of the chorus parks a male voice at or above the top of its passaggio and keeps it there — the classic reason it feels so much harder than its range suggests.
Figures are the cited key and lead-vocal range (Musicnotes original-key arrangement, sounding Eb3–Bb4 in Db major), not lab measurements. No lyrics or melody are reproduced here — this page is about what the song demands of a voice.
