Rain Check — slow piano ballad (Neon Hook)

"Take a rain check" — postponing something to another time. This one is about the sentence most of us never say. It's easier to show up as half of yourself than to admit you've got nothing left tonight. So: it's not a no. It's a not tonight. Hold the door a little longer. The bridge is the honest part: there's a difference between hiding and an honest, tired call. And the verse about the father who sat down at the table with the weather still on him — that one is for everybody who learned to copy that. "I'd rather come back whole than come back small." First song on the channel with no drums at all — just felt piano, cello and strings.
