All the Songs Ben Platt Sings in The Politician

During a moment of solitude during the hectic campaign, Payton plays piano to soothe himself. He's quickly joined by the ghost of River, who encourages him to continue doing good things, rather than worrying about being a good person. The song played by the two young men is Platt's own "Run Away," originally featured on his critically acclaimed debut album, Sing to Me Instead. It's the perfect accompaniment to such a soft and intimate moment between the two former lovers.
