exactly like in here. Came in someone's random account, it's abandoned, and you wonder what happened...

If it's easy or hard to sing depends on the singer's vocal range. In Neil Tennant's case, "Being Boring" is in an unusually low key, that's why it's hard to sing for him.

Actually, it was Neil himself who once said that they didn't initially perform Being Boring at the Performance tour because a) it's in a difficult key for him to sing and b) they were disappointed that it charted so low. I tried to find the interview in question but a quick google search didn't turn it up. If I stumble upon it again I'll post the link. However, in the booklet of the Behaviour Further Listening edition Chris says that they had a hard time finding the right key for the song which might be a hint. Musically speaking there is something that makes it harder to sing regardless of the key it's written in and that's the key change in the chorus which in terms of composition is a masterstroke because it gives it this bittersweet uplifting-yet-melancholy sentiment. Ju1i3t4 is of course right to point out the emotional aspect of the song. I didn't mention that because I was answering to another shout but since the relaunch you can't see that anymore.

This is one of those songs that I always just kinda liked, then one day suddenly realised just how incredible it really is.

The lyrics of this song "Being Boring" are very descriptive and well conceived! I enjoy this song very much!
