Father John Misty

In this electrifying live performance of 'Now I’m Learning to Love the War,' captured on October 22, 2013, at Union Transfer in Philadelphia, Father John Misty was riding high on the wave of his album 'Fear Fun,' released earlier that year. This was a pivotal moment for him, as it marked a shift from his previous work as the drummer for Fleet Foxes to a fully realized solo artist. 'Fear Fun' was noted for its witty lyrics mixed with a blend of folk and rock that showcased Josh Tillman’s unique storytelling ability. The live rendition here highlights Misty's magnetic stage presence and the raw energy of his performances, which fans adore. Interestingly, this track reflects his signature satirical style, tackling themes of love and conflict in a refreshingly honest way that resonates deeply with audiences, prompting listeners to question their own feelings in turbulent times.
