Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, rhythmic 'da-da-da' refrain that transforms a simple folk song into a global anthem.
The sudden, swelling organ and choral-style backing vocals that elevate the title track into a secular hymn.
The way the brothers' voices lock into a tight, nasal unison on 'I'm on My Way' before splitting into a bright harmony.
