Missing You (duet with Alison Krauss)
4:39
Moments Worth Waiting For
The iconic gated reverb snare hit that launches the original version of Missing You into its lonely orbit.
The sudden transition from polished studio sheen to the raw, kinetic energy of the live version of Change.
Alison Krauss's ethereal bluegrass harmony cutting through the raspy grit of the closing duet version of Missing You.
