Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition into the chorus of 'I want to feel alive' where the drums and violin lock into a driving rhythm.
The delicate, layered vocal harmonies that open 'we aren't who we thought we were' before the track expands into a lush soundscape.
The rhythmic, percussive intensity of the violin lines in 'In motion' that act as the song's primary engine.
