Queensrÿche - Empire

Summer is for many the best time of the year. So in the next few days will Werock further enhance the experience, the glorious summer situations with a fitting soundtrack to them. So its time for some great Rock music to prepare for Midsummer. Tune Of The Day will follow this event and chose a tune from one of the 5 Werock-authors (Robert, Jonte, Martin, Fredrik and me). Check up the article here! (In Swedish)

We start today, and there is hardly any better way to start than with a big holiday?

Imagine the perfect day. The sun is exactly enough strong, the wind cools without interfering. In the background you can hear people murmur, but it does not bother you, you've found your place. On the bridge, with water lapping beneath you. In the hammock, that swung back and forth. On the beach, with waves as background symphony. It is, quite simply, the perfect opportunity to enjoy music through headphones. Maybe close your eyes for a moment and just slip away. Get Werock-authors' favorite spot for a lazy summer day, and what is appropriate music to listen to.

Todays tune is "Empire" with Queensrÿche and what did Martin say about this.

"Empire" makes me huge good mood! Although I also adore "Operation: Mindcrime" but "Empire" breathe so much more enthusiasm than the masterpiece of mental manipulation and brainwashing. Songs by "Jet City Woman", "Empire", "Resistance", "Silent Lucidity" and "Hand On Heart" makes me both calm and excited at the same time and gives what is typically easy-listening: moderately easy listening, yet full enough to keep you interested and not to fall a sleep in the sun bed.



The tune is appearing on their 1990 album Empire. The lyrical content of the song warns of a foreboding and unstoppable "Empire" of drug trafficking within the United States and its related crimes, that will inevitably lead to the breakdown of civility in American society. "Can you feel it coming?"
