Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive transition from the intimate acoustic intro to the full-band roar on 'Don't Tell Me That It's Over'.
The subtle orchestral swell that elevates the melancholic piano melody during the bridge of 'What Happiness Means to Me'.
The rhythmic, percussive vocal delivery in the verses of 'Spark' that mimics the momentum of a moving train.
