Moments Worth Waiting For
The steady, unshakeable composure in her voice during the title track's plea for perspective.
The way the rhythm section locks into a tight, understated shuffle on Teasing but You’re Pleasing.
The heartbreakingly dry delivery of the line about not having time to cry, which makes the pain feel more real.
