Moments Worth Waiting For
The delicate acoustic guitar intro of Play Me that transitions into a sweeping string section.
The way Mathis handles the descending vocal line in Alone Again (Naturally), adding a layer of sophisticated grace to the bleak lyrics.
The bright, optimistic brass flourishes that punctuate the title track's chorus.
