Moments Worth Listening For

The devastating shift into French during 'Seasons in the Sun' where the orchestration swells to meet the weight of the farewell.

A stark, piano-led opening on 'If You Go Away' that captures a vulnerability rarely heard in her 60s hits.

The way the woodwinds weave through the sparse arrangement of 'Listen to the Warm', mimicking a gentle breeze.
