Christmas · Pop

Hey Jack. I know thirteen means one-word answers at dinner and a closed door most nights — that's okay, I did the exact same thing to your grandpa. But I notice you still send me song links late at night, and buddy, that means more to me than you know. The door's not all the way shut. I'm still here, still in your corner, whenever you're ready to talk — or not talk. Merry Christmas, kid. Love you. — Dad

Song story

Background

Ryan is 33, and his son Jack, 13, has hit the age where dinner answers come one word at a time and the bedroom door stays shut. But Jack still sends him song links late at night — little signals that the door isn't all the way closed. For Christmas, Ryan made an upbeat pop song in the kind of sound Jack sends him, just to meet him where he is.
