Moments Worth Waiting For
The bright, soulful trumpet fanfare that breaks through the cynical lyrical bite of A Century of Fakers.
The transition into the secret track Songs for Children where the mood shifts into a playful, lo-fi nursery rhyme.
The way the organ swells during the final minutes of Put the Book Back on the Shelf as the narrative reaches its lonely conclusion.
