Moments Worth Listening For
The extended, atmospheric guitar outro of 'Til Summer Comes Around that captures the ache of a seasonal romance.
The rhythmic, percussive acoustic strumming that kicks off Kiss a Girl before the full band explodes.
The soaring, weightless vocal harmony on the chorus of If Ever I Could Love that justifies the album title.
