Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from a hushed whisper to a sudden, screaming blues lick by Eric Clapton.
The immersive sound of a car door slamming and an engine starting that feels physically present in the room.
The emotional peak of 'Every Stranger's Eyes' where the orchestration swells into a rare moment of genuine warmth.
