Moments Worth Waiting For
The percussive, driving acoustic guitar rhythm that anchors the title track, establishing a sense of forward motion.
The haunting, high-register vocal harmonies on Shotgun Down the Avalanche that mimic the chill of the lyrics.
The subtle, crystalline piano accents from Bruce Hornsby that elevate the bridge of Another Long One.
