Days of the New(Travis Meeks)-Empty Pocket

Tuning is C# G# C# C# G# C# and my favorite tuning made by Travis. One of my favorite songs from Travis Meeks such a powerful song and i love it. I noticed its not on youtube so i thought i would share it. Enjoy

[@johncarter7226]

underappreciated artist. Those who relate are diehard fans. we all have demons we battle.

[@shanedugas1767]

John Carter yes sir

[@shawnayers2914]

I've beaten my demons... but I still can't play/write music like this. lol.

[@willardguardsue5928]

It's much easier fighting off demons with Jesus christ ! Doing it by yourself usually just leads to drinking smoking just numbing yourself witch is not beating them. Do it with christ and you will truly win

[@santoshbhattarai2635]

Average people listen to average music that plays on radio.. I'm glad I listen to Travis Meeks music on KZbin, doesn't make me special but I know I listen to better music.

[@RHINOSAUR]

Such a gut-wrenching chord progression. Meeks digs SO deep it hurts.

[@joannemckann7948]

Whenever I listen to DOTN or Travis’ solo work, I want to be fully present. You don’t just listen, you experience it.

[@highervolt]

Joanne McKann very well and perfectly said

[@JohnWilliams-dk9wd]

Darkness doesn’t always make sense. He wades through beautifully.

[@RHINOSAUR]

So well said, my friend.

[@JoseGutierrez-if9ig]

I’m hurting inside

[@DansandoaTV]

i am hurting inside.. but you like to pay to watch me die, so don't fill me in on your secrets because i'm doing with my own, i've got a empty empty pocket so go back home, go back home...

[@thecrow3970]

He is talking to the crowd aka the fans or people in the crowd. This song is hits so hard and raw with emotion. The guitar playing, the lyrics the emotion put into this is just masterful. Ain't many people walking the earth that can put their voice and acoustic guitar to work like Travis does. 1 of a kind Genius

[@tigmasterkev9140]

I've been playing guitar almost half my life. This guy's skills are like 2 lifetimes above me. Unbelievably amazing

[@elru3n]

El mejor tema que he oído en mi vida

[@johncarter7226]

Addictions produce the best music!

[@kevinfehlinger6191]

Yeah but it takes you friend down a whole. Just wait it will happen

[@kenairockband]

You mistake addiction for pain

[@tigmasterkev9140]

@@kenairockband an addiction is very painful

[@unETHical_detailer]

No fucken lie

[@jimmyfalk]

Thanks! 15 year fan whose spent hours going through bootlegs over the years and never heard it

[@MrSawdoff1100]

Travis has a shit load of music never released and its better than any of his previous albums, too bad he doesn't want any of it posted or i would post what i have.

[@MrSawdoff1100]

This song is from around 2005 and its just Travis and his guitar.

[@cgore420]

I'm not even trying to be an ass but why in the world would it be "got an empty package", when song is called empty pocket.

[@bayo8743]

​@@cgore420just tell him to change it bruh

[@MustObeyTheRules]

“Step down, go back home!” Top 3 Meeks song for me

[@vinceledesma369]

Been listening to Travis for 23 fucking years oh was young drug attic then now I’m an old drug attic… A lot of us hide it well but with Travis it just pours out of him

[@thecrow3970]

Same man been listing for a long time and battling drugs for 17 years on and off. Travis just pours out his soul in his music and i can relate to him in so many ways. Except for the god like talent he possess.

[@santoshbhattarai2635]

Simply the best, that's Travis Meek!!!! We need another album!!

[@austinb.willis5978]

Def one of my favorites

[@jmac88022]

We love ya Travis

[@jorgemidencearauz1232]

I had this track in my iPOD, oh man! It brings some good stuff.

[@tinfoilhatter]

hey! when's the last time travis granted anyone an interview, and was there ever a good one? he seems like the kind of guy who just doesn't enjoy that sort of thing- that's my impression, but he's great! i wonder if he knows how much he's really admired and loved and all

[@Ashcroftsacademy]

Any chance I can get all the unreleased songs on a cd or something? Massive travis Meeks fan!

[@madaicchick90srocked17]

Me too,,, I already bought all that was for sell, I need any new stuff he has!

[@CunningCondor]

[@MrSawdoff1100]

[@love2chiefs]

[@memersondelight8940]

[@lisa.com3525]

I love you travis.

[@darkelf9984]

Lyrics?

[@mattyhinkley3492]

Travis is a sick guitarist, lyrics are dope.. all around an amazing artist.. open your mind and listen. I've had the opportunity to hang with him a couple times.. zero ego just a cool cat... As being a recovering drug addict I can relate to the pain, it's unavoidable at some point.. take that pain and channel bit Through the guitar and the lyrics.. LISTEN!!!

[@georgeharman7177]

Thanks trav

[@lordbayla6847]

The first time i heard "Enemy" and the huge guitar ending to "Enemy" i had a musical orgasm. I ache for more guitar 🎸 heroics from Travis.
