Moments Worth Listening For

The delicate piano introduction on Love Is Here to Stay that sets a sophisticated, intimate tone for the entire record.

The swelling orchestral climax during Where Do I Begin? that captures the cinematic heartbreak of the original theme.

The surprisingly playful and light-footed vocal phrasing on I Can't Give You Anything but Love.
