Moments Worth Waiting For
The intimate, dry-mixed acoustic guitar opening of Now and Forever that feels like a private serenade.
The soaring, multi-tracked vocal harmonies in the bridge of The Way She Loves Me.
The unexpected grit in the guitar solo during Silent Scream that breaks the polished surface.
