From the recording Minneapolis
🏙️❤️ MINNEAPOLIS… YOU KEEP CALLING ME HOME.
I wrote this song 10 years ago while living 2,000 miles away in Los Angeles. Back then, I thought I was writing about a city I missed. Looking back, I think I was really writing about the people who made it feel like home.
Ten years later, this song has found its way back to Minneapolis—and I got to bring it home alongside some incredible Minnesota musicians, artists, filmmakers, friends, and family.
This one is for the city that kept calling.
For the people who kept showing up.
And for anyone who has ever left home only to realize how much of it they carried with them.
