Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden harmonic bloom in the chorus of You Took Me by Surprise where the rasp meets a wall of silk.
The transition from a sparse acoustic intro to a full, driving pop-rock rhythm section.
Chris Norman's voice breaking slightly on a high note, adding a human grit to the high-gloss production.
