When I Woke

A celebratory and rhythmic explosion of organic energy and communal spirit.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The iconic penny whistle melody and scat-singing breakdown that anchors the middle of Send Me on My Way.
The transition from the purely percussive opening of Drum Trip into the driving acoustic strumming of Ecstasy.
The sprawling eight-minute build of Cruel Sun where the vocal intensity reaches a fever pitch over frantic hand drums.
