Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's opening plea where the strings swell to meet Vinton's gentle warning to a new lover.
The delicate, almost lullaby-like piano introduction on 'Sentimental Me' that anchors the vocal.
The way 'Serenade of the Bells' uses rhythmic percussion to mimic a distant chime under the melody.
