Father John Misty, also known as Josh Tillman, made an appearance on the Late Show to perform his new acoustic track, "The Dead Mouse One," a song he previously debuted at a California gig. The song describes the bittersweet relationship between him and a deceased mouse, featuring poignant lyrics that depict care and loss. While it was not included in his latest album, Mahashmashana, the performance presents a moving reflection on life's fragility. Currently on tour, he has plans for another summer leg with notable supporting acts.
"A stupid little heartbreak/ I knew you for a day,/ Brought you a little water/ and called you buy a name/ and hoped you were only trembling because you were lost and so afraid."
"A silly little service/ Under the acacia tree/ Two handfuls of dirt, I sang this melody/ Then went back to my little life/ Ignoring human tragedy."
