“Pining” pulls on the heartstrings a bit with its fervid dobro lines and soaring harmonies. The tune has an ebb and flow, like that of waves crashing on a beach, as it builds slightly during the verses leading into a vocally powerful chorus drawing back out again. Joe Cirotti playing the nylon string guitar adds an elevated level of warmth as the strings delicately weave their way through the music.
