"Milwaukee" captures the feeling of drifting into a place and, before you know it, realizing you’ve put down roots. When I first came here, I wasn’t sure I was moving—I just kept coming back. And one night, after a week of going out, after a Father John Misty show, I finally stayed in. It felt strange, even guilty, to sit still. That moment inspired the song’s refrain: I’m not out tonight.
It became more than just a song about one night—it was about settling into Milwaukee, about realizing this place had become home. By the end of the song, there’s that lingering thought: I could be back in London, I could be back in England... but I’m here. And there’s something real in that. It’s a song I still love playing because it reminds me of how I got here.
