Moments Worth Listening For

The title track's piano melody that seems to float and bob like a buoy in gentle water.

The way the accordion on The Boatman creates a sense of slow, rhythmic rowing through a fog.

The transition into The Parting Glass where the traditional melody is stripped of its weight and turned into a ghostly, translucent memory.
