Jim Waneka’s “I Want To Quit” Is A Springsteen-like, 70’s Rocker

Confronting Frustrations That Make Us ‘Want to Get on My Bike and Ride’

 

Release: March 11, 2022 

Muscle Shoals, AL – The emotive, soaring rocker “I Want to Quit” from Jim Waneka directly taps into the fear, anger, and frustrations so many of us face today. But this song’s character does more than just stew about it, he jumps on his motorcycle and blasts through the countryside until he regains himself.

Waneka continues to stretch Country-Americana musical style boundaries by channeling Bruce Springsteen-like emotive truths and life lessons in this multi-tempo rocker. Starting with Jim’s acoustic guitar intro that slowly builds with accompanying B3 organ, an electric guitar signals the pulse-pounding crescendos, briefly falls back to earth with virtuoso instrumental interludes, only to launch another driving, upward climax. The prolonged close is another extended instrumental foray, evoking 70s-era groundbreaking jams.

Jim said of this new song, “We all face times when nothing is going right, feeling like you just want to quit and get to a different place. I felt that a few months ago but thankfully was able to channel that energy into a song, showing we can overcome the negativity, fear and anger that can lead us to bad decisions. Ride it out, get to a good place so you can think clearly, and above all don’t give up!” The song’s lyrics tell the story, and the changing tempo sets the feeling for our protagonist’s journey of rediscovery, an explosive motorcycle ride that cuts away his fears and anger. As he once again finds himself, the calming tempo and final instrumental jam signal the all-clear.
