A radical pivot to minimalism. Stripped of radio-ready polish, these ten tracks favor raw piano, acoustic warmth, and DeGraw's most vulnerable vocal performances.

It's Gavin DeGraw sitting right in your living room with just a piano and his rawest songs.

A quiet, soulful exhale that trades anthemic energy for intimate, unpolished honesty.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The audible intake of breath before the first verse of Indian Summer sets a startlingly intimate tone.
The way the piano chords ring out and decay naturally on Mountains to Move, emphasizing the room's physical space.
The vocal crack during the bridge of Glass that feels entirely unedited and deeply human.
