Medley: My Buddy / How About Me
4:10
Moments Worth Waiting For
The breathy, vulnerable opening line of the title track that instantly sets a mood of deep longing.
The transition in the My Buddy medley where the orchestration swells to meet a sudden, heartbreaking vocal shift.
The way the strings wrap around the piano melody in What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life, creating a sense of infinite time.
