It's like a black-and-white movie set in Paris, but in song form.

A sophisticated blend of metropolitan elegance and quiet, continental melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from English to French on the back half of the record, shifting the emotional weight toward a more continental melancholy.
The way the strings swell and then suddenly drop to a whisper behind the vocal on track 10.
The rhythmic, almost cinematic brass stabs that punctuate the chorus of Sally.
