Moments Worth Listening For
The conversational opening of Sun Comes Up where Margo realizes she is the one who forgot to close the blinds.
The slow-burn tension of Mariner's Song as it stretches past six minutes with a hypnotic, nautical pulse.
The fragile, hopeful delivery of the final track You Will Be Loved Again which provides a soft landing to the album's grief.
