Moments Worth Listening For

The devastatingly direct address to his sister on 'Martha' over a repetitive piano motif.

The complex, almost dissonant piano runs on 'Les feux d'artifice t'appellent' that mimic a mental unraveling.

The way his voice breaks into a fragile vibrato during the final couplet of 'Sonnet 43'.
