Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic, syncopated electric piano riff that opens the album's most famous track, setting a breezy but deceptive tone.
The sudden narrative pivot in track one where the protagonist realizes his own wife is the anonymous respondent.
The melancholic saxophone solo in 'The People That You Never Get to Love' that captures urban isolation perfectly.
