The Jeff Michael Band - Empty Lives

"I have come to this angry town. My friends have gone, they've all left and gone to their jobs, to their rooms, to their empty, empty lives." The weather cooled down today, but only because of a tropical storm. Good for us because we get some rain, but how horrible for others who have to deal with the aftermath of a storm. We are thankful for the rain, but at whose expense? “We all dream of this happy place where we all live in harmony” sings the narrator. The song is sneaky – I turned it up to hear the intriguing sounds and wham! – got smacked in the old eartaster by a wall of sound. Sneaky punch. Sorta like a tropical storm in my head. Many enjoyable flavors in the track – some smart psychedelic keyboard work, fun rock guitar licks, lots of smashing drums. What will we do with our empty lives? “What does it matter?” Well, this eartaster will while his away listening to some great music. Thanks! The Jeff Michael Band
