While still in high school, he recorded his first solo effort, Mythologies, released on the Carpe Diem label, and produced by future 97 Murry Hammond. Miller and Hammond then formed the group Sleepy Heroes, a power-pop trio that released one CD - Under A Radio Sun - and promptly disbanded.
In the early 1990s, Miller started performing country songs acoustically with Hammond with the moniker Ranchero Brothers - a duo that performs occasionally to this day.
Miller's second solo album The Instigator was released in 2002. In 2006, he released The Believer. Recently he released the self-titled Rhett Miller in 2009.

Out Of Love
Rhett Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With ? all that ? I'm up to no good
There is a strong suggestion, baby without a question
That all after ? I'm up to no good
I'm on a long way from home
I'm only all day when I am gone
I only miss you when I'm with you
Or you keep my fortune, throw it into the ocean
No matter what you say, I'm drifting away
Hold on to my ? can't hold on to me
No matter what you say, I'm drifting away
I'm on a long way from home
I'm only all day when I am gone
I only miss you when I'm with you
I'm only happy when I'm singing a sad, sad, song
There is a real possibility that there's really something wrong
With ? all that ? I'm up to no good
There is a strong suggestion, baby without a question
That all after ? I'm up to no good
I'm on a long way from home
I'm only all day when I am gone
I only miss you when I'm with you
I'm only happy when I'm singing a sad, sad, sad, sad
Out of love, out of love, you know, out of love
Out of love, out of love, you know, out of love
I'm on a long way from home
I'm only all day when I am gone
I only miss you when I'm with you
I'm only happy when I'm singing a sad, sad, sad, sad
Out of love, out of love, you know, out of love
Out of love, out of love, you know, out of love
The lyrics of "Out of Love" by Rhett Miller seem to depict a person who is struggling with commitment in a relationship. The song starts with the singer acknowledging that there is something wrong with himself, and he hints that he might be up to no good. He seems to be feeling guilty about something, and there is a suggestion that he might be involved in some shady or dishonest behavior. He is wrestling with his feelings and seems to be finding it hard to be honest with himself and his partner.
The chorus of the song implies that the singer is constantly on the move and is far away from home. He only misses his partner when he is away, and he is only happy when he is singing a sad song. This suggests that the singer is using music as an escape from the complexities of his life and emotions. He seems to be searching for something, perhaps love or meaning, but is not finding it.
In the second stanza, the singer talks about someone taking his fortune and throwing it into the ocean. This line could indicate that he values material possessions less than something else, such as love, but is still feeling lost and disconnected. The song ends with the repetition of the phrase "out of love," which could mean that the singer has fallen out of love with his partner or that he is struggling to find love and connection in his life.
Overall, "Out of Love" seems to be a melancholic song that reflects the complicated emotions that come with love and commitment. The singer is struggling to find meaning in his life and is using music as an escape from his complex emotions.

I might be doing something I shouldn't be
With ? all that ? I'm up to no good
I have a feeling that everything I'm doing is suspicious
There is a strong suggestion, baby without a question
It's pretty clear that I'm up to something
That all after ? I'm up to no good

I don't actually miss you until I'm around you

You can't keep me even if you try
Out of love, out of love, you know, out of love
I'm falling out of love with you
