Welcome to your Thumpin’ Thursday edition of the Laptop Sessions! I bring you yet another song from the Wallflowers, and one that not everyone is going to catch.
The song is “Empire in My Mind”, which is a bonus track from their album “Red Letter Days”. It is a solidly written song as well. While simple as well, it remains a favorite of mine.
The Laptop Sessions continue the trek through 2008 for a Session a day! Stay tuned for my next video on Sunday, and then my next edition of Original Wednesday, where you will get to hear a world premiere from my upcoming album!
I hope you are enjoying the Laptop Sessions!
Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, Jeff’s acoustic cover song music videos are no longer on YouTube, but we decided to keep his cover song blog posts up. We figured these music blog entries would be good for posterity’s sake and because Jeff always gave such insightful posts each Session. We hope to see Jeff’s impressive catalog of acoustic rock songs here on the Laptop Sessions cover songs and original music blog again in the future. But, for now, please make sure to check-out hundreds of other acoustic cover songs from all of your favorite bands here on the Laptop Sessions music blog!
You know something, you’re half-right.
The title of the song is correct, however upon further investigation the lyrics do go “Empire in My Mind”.
I guess I equated the title to what I was hearing. Good factoid – going to edit my Youtube description now.
Jeff,
Isn’t it “Empire IN My Mind”?
Great job, either way- I’ve always liked this song.
Actually, I just went on Amazon:

They have it as “in”, too. It was the theme song for some show for a while- might be worth checking which one. I only wanted to post this so people could find it, in case it is the wrong title.

“Empire in My Mind” was the theme song for “The Guardian” on CBS (it ended a few years ago). Wikipedia has more info.
As a side note, great song Jeff! I have to start recording more Wallflowers tunes before you get all the good ones! 🙂
