Moments Worth Waiting For
The title track's transition from a delicate acoustic verse into a surprisingly punchy, rhythmic chorus that maintains its softness.
The way the vocal layering on 'Molly' creates a conversational, almost crowded feeling that contrasts with the album's usual sparseness.
The vulnerable catch in the vocal delivery during the quietest bridge of 'Mess', making it feel like a live performance in a small room.
