Moments Worth Listening For
The way her voice ascends into a pure, vibrato-less peak during the chorus of The Wild Mountain Thyme
The subtle, almost ghostly addition of a second guitar that marks her first step toward a folk-rock sound
The chilling transition into German on Sagt Mir Wo Die Blumen Sind, making the anti-war message feel universal and ancient
