I hadn't realized that Trenches was in there, and I'm happy that the lyrics are out there, but that's one I'd be cautious about singing in a group and here's why - rhythmically, it works more like an air. It's a gorgeous solo, but it doesn't have a strong beat and it depends on the balance between sustained notes and effective pauses. In my experience, what happens to those songs in groups is that they get messy, and they lose a lot of their beauty in their unfortunate transition into awkwardness. I don't know how to fix this problem, because the songs themselves are amazing. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else has had this problem. I'd also be interested in seeing a screen shot of the index (if that's something you'd want to take the time to do).", "timestamp": "1517202072"}, {"author": "Jeff Kaufman", "source_link": "https://www.facebook.com/jefftk/posts/924043327642?comment_id=924045318652&reply_comment_id=924227503552", "anchor": "fb-924045318652_924227503552", "service": "fb", "text": "→ Here's the full index:
