Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the guitars swell into a murky wall of sound during the chorus of track 1, creating a sense of falling.
The transition from breathy, intimate verses to the explosive, desperate energy in the bridge of track 4.
The final fading notes of the title track that leave a lingering sense of unresolved tension and quiet grief.
