Moments Worth Listening For
The effortless transition from the weary resignation of the verses to the soaring, defiant hope in the chorus of Easy From Now On.
The raw, driving energy of the electric guitar and piano interplay that kicks off the rowdy Two More Bottles of Wine.
The delicate, almost weightless vocal delivery on Defying Gravity that makes the cosmic metaphors feel grounded and intimate.
