Moments Worth Listening For
The poignant self-reflection in the title track where the narrator acknowledges his aging while remaining a young troubadour at heart.
The gentle, observational awe of the piano-led melody in 'I Saw God Today' as it captures mundane miracles.
The unexpected tropical lilt and rhythmic island sway that carries the chorus of 'River of Love'.
