Rory D'Lasnow's control over the range of strength and softness of voice, and the way each end of that scale is used to express and support the lyrics is a real touch of genius, creating a strong medium between the artist and the hearts of listeners.
Deeper into the song synth pads emerge to sustain notes, not too dominating, just perfectly sitting behind the vocals and guitar.
