    Hitting an E5 in falsetto isn't hard. It's doing it beautifully stable, powerful and controlled like this that is the challenge and what makes it so incredibly iconic.

    When I was an early teenager, I got into singing and I could legitimately hit that beautiful tone perfectly. Puberty hit me like a freight train and by 16, if I tried to move the air to hit that sound again, the air would suddenly get like... trapped? It's so strange and frustrating!
