Moments worth listening for

Where the writing does something specific.

9 PM (Till I Come) (radio edit)

A brief vocal refrain repeatedly returns to the prospect of an arrival without developing it into a story.

The fragment works as a rhythmic hook alongside the instrumental lead rather than as a conventional narrative verse.
