About This Track
'rainbow' finds Gatton singing about the difficulty of recognising hope when you're caught in the grip of struggle. The song frames its central metaphor simply: someone so consumed by the effort of staying afloat that they cannot see the clearing sky, the colours breaking through, the promise already hanging overhead. The chorus leans into this tension, acknowledging that even when the weather breaks, old patterns of fear and self-protection persist. What makes the track work is its refusal to offer easy reassurance. Gatton doesn't insist the storm has passed; instead, he suggests that the rainbow has always been there, waiting for you to look up. The song moves from observation to gentle insistence, building toward a moment of release in the bridge where the instruction becomes simple: tie up the boat, take off your coat, look around. By the final chorus, that invitation has softened into something closer to certainty, though the work of actually seeing it remains yours.
