Singer-songwriter-guitarist Patrick Sampson returns with “Misplaced in Montana,” launched eighth January 2026, the results of a decade on the street and a profitable Kickstarter that funded studio time with Grammy-winning producer Robert Cutarella.
The intro arrives rapturous, that hundred-year-old fiddle and acoustic guitars creating one thing each euphoric and nostalgic earlier than the primary line drops.
This chronicles what it feels prefer to be misplaced someplace between fact and sin, asking if anybody’s coming to search out you.
Sampson’s vocals expose somewhat than conceal, his supply unguarded as he admits, “Will you’re taking my bones and depart the remainder behind?”
The query works whether or not you’re speaking to God, an individual, or your self.
The longing sits heaviest within the writing itself, Biblical references floor naturally, Joseph’s desires, identify modifications worthy of divine consideration, however the actual weight is in “All my life it’s at all times been straightforward for me to run away / My thoughts is out the door my coronary heart is telling me to remain.”
That’s self-sabotage everybody recognises, the runner who received’t decide to something price maintaining.
The association swells patiently, every factor arriving like a hand on the shoulder, till the refrain lifts with the sort of collective conviction gospel does greatest.
“If I die, I’ll do it dwelling” arrives like a declaration, the type that solely is sensible if you’re negotiating with one thing larger than your self.
“Effectively, I maintain getting additional away from younger” lands within the bridge just like the second you realise you possibly can’t return to who you had been.
“Misplaced in Montana” places you someplace between elation and ache, the geography literal and metaphorical without delay.
It’s about wandering off and questioning when you’ll be discovered, whether or not that search get together is coming or when you’re meant to search out your individual manner again.
