Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive orchestral crescendo in 'In Pursuit of Happiness' that feels like a curtain rising on a grand stage.
The vulnerable, self-deprecating intimacy of the lyrics during the bridge of 'If I Were You (I’d Be Through With Me)'.
The way the brass section punctuates the jaunty, infectious rhythm of 'Everybody Knows (Except You)'.
