Moments Worth Waiting For
The bluesy, stinging guitar solo by Eric Clapton that cuts through the title track's atmospheric synth wash.
The transition into the uplifting, gospel-tinged chorus of Someone Who Believes in You.
Branford Marsalis's fluid saxophone lines weaving through the rhythmic pulse of Midnight Flyer.
