Moments Worth Listening For

The rhythmic, hypnotic repetition of the title phrase in track 1 that mimics the steady hum of tires on asphalt.

The lush, sweeping string arrangement that swells to meet the vocal climax on the original version of To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before.

The intimate, stripped-back acoustic opening of Down by the River that feels like a private performance in a small room.
