Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, jarring shift in meaning during the chorus of track 10 where a happy melody becomes a haunting reminder of loss.
Levi Stubbs' voice breaking with genuine desperation on the high notes of Love Feels Like Fire.
The way the baritone lead battles against a rising tide of orchestral strings and horns in Stay in My Lonely Arms.
