Moments Worth Waiting For
The interlocking vocal harmonies that swell during the chorus of Elias, capturing a raw studio energy.
The rhythmic, percussive acoustic guitar slapping that drives the momentum of Past the Falls.
The hushed, intimate delivery of Walk With You where the instruments nearly disappear into the background.
