Moments Worth Listening For
The way her voice drops to a near-whisper on the final warning of All That You Have Is Your Soul.
The sudden, rhythmic urgency of the hand-percussion that drives the momentum of Born to Fight.
The haunting organ bed that elevates Bridges from a simple folk song into a spiritual plea.
