Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive, funky release of the chorus in Road to Joy that feels like a sudden burst of sunlight.

The delicate, heartbreaking piano melody of Playing for Time that captures the weight of decades passing.

The massive choral swell at the climax of Live and Let Live that provides a cathartic, grand finale.
