We asked Google how many new songs per day are uploaded to the internet. We were stunned to learn the answer is nearly 100,000 songs. No wonder musicians and songwriters can find it difficult to find an audience for their music. That's why we want to thank EVERYONE who takes the time to listen to Empire Adrift songs!! Thank you, we appreciate you!!

This is a song we wrote and recorded in 2015, and has only been on Soundcloud until now. The song is quite different from most of our music, and we hope you like it. It features Eric Lawson on acoustic guitar, and Jim Ed Smith on drums & vocals.
