Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the lonely piano introduction of Hold On into the sweeping, hopeful chorus
The way the percussion mimics a heartbeat during the more tense narrative sections of Sin City
The intimate, almost whispered vocal delivery on the closing lullaby Goodnight as the instrumentation fades
