Moments Worth Listening For

The reprise of the title track that feels like a weary but graceful exhale after the emotional weight of the record.

The subtle R&B rhythmic pulse on 'Trouble With Angels' that elevates the track beyond standard country balladry.

The sudden shift in tone for the hidden-style humor of 'BFD' providing a necessary release of tension at the very end.
