BEGIN AGAIN

There is an easy Restart as you approach the 12:00 wall just before the guitar lick. You will know you are getting close by the lyrics: “Surrendered all she had to me. Even silver and gold. All she asked was my soul”

The Restart is optional but it makes the last part of the dance feel much better!
