Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the quiet, harbor-side storytelling of Last Night into its celebratory, guitar-driven street dance chorus.
The synth-heavy, driving rhythm of The Spirit of Man that builds into an anthem of survival.
The delicate, piano-led intimacy of For Rosanna that captures a father's quiet observation of his child.
