"TAKE A SEAT" (released 03.01.26)
This track is a warning to our supposed "resistance party" that if they do not step up, they will be stepped on. It will be swift. It will be loud. The people are fed up with feckless, corrupt, and complicit politicians. They are all swept up in the ruling class. The Epstein class. Beholden only to moneyed interests and their own personal gains. They are drunk on power and need to be crushed by any means necessary.
Rain the Shining is the music of Ryan Smith. While his lyrics often focus on something simple like making the most of the time he has, his hardcore roots still provide a voice of protest against injustice. His 2025 album, In a Haze of Younger Days, captured the tension of meeting his younger self and facing the disappointment in those younger eyes.
With his new single, "TAKE A SEAT," he moves beyond internal reflection to address the corrupt politicians and moneyed interests of the ruling class. This track serves as a swift and loud warning to the supposed “resistance party.” It is an anthem for those fed up with a complicit "Epstein class" of leaders who need to be crushed by any means necessary.
