This is the title song from our debut album (also called “In My Mind”, duh). It's probably the most experimental track on the album, featuring spoken rather than sung vocals.

I wrote this for my band, but for now this is the acoustic demo with just me. I recorded the guitar part twice, and then sang one take on the vox on top. It is raw, but certainly functional as a demo.

I'd be lying if I said this entire track wasn't sparked by the opening audio clip. It really made me think about the ways some people create their own enjoyment. Cool.

Original working title was something like, "And after six years I finally understood why they sing in the streets here, and could go home." It's sort of about anonymity in the modern city. If that sounds pretentious, that's because it is.
