Moments Worth Listening For
The way the pedal steel guitar sighs during the chorus of Julie, mimicking the feeling of rain clearing.
The sudden, warm bloom of vocal harmonies that elevates the bridge of Simple Pleasure.
The gentle, waltzing piano melody that closes the title track, leaving a lingering sense of peace.
