Moments Worth Listening For
The delicate harpsichord introduction on the title track that perfectly mirrors the song's baroque-pop origins.
The way Mathis handles the narrative tension in Phoenix, his voice rising just slightly as the imaginary journey progresses.
The hushed, almost whispered opening of Here, There and Everywhere that showcases his incredible breath control.
