Emmy the Great – Where Is My Mind?
I’ve lost track of exactly how many versions of Where Is My Mind I have at this point. It seems to be one of those staple cover songs that everyone has to have a go at sometime. With that in mind, here is Emmy the Great’s version, recorded live for a BBC Radio 1 session. I think. Maybe it was for somewhere else. My feelings on Emmy’s music itself varies from week to week, and I seem to like about half of her songs but can’t stand the other half. I’m not sure exactly where this one falls. It’s all acoustic with layered vocals, something Nada Surf attempted with their version if I recall correctly. It’s not bad by a long shot, but it’s not blowing me away either. Still, it’s always enjoyable to hear alternative versions of songs.
it’s totally a staple for all bands but this one is def up there. The Breeders should do a cover of it. Frank Black would cry.
