Fan Comments, “What a beautiful song, it will become a number one”
With only two songs yet released, Jim Waneka has easily surpassed the quarter-million listens mark in just over two months, a surprisingly quick timeframe for a new artist to achieve that number. “I Ride Alone” https://ffm.to/iridealone dropped July 30th and “A Different Man” https://ffm.to/adifferentman followed on August 28th.
Fan comments show a deep appreciation for the heartfelt stories Jim tells, along with Johnny Cash-like vocals and veteran musicianship on the songs. Jim’s life experiences, growing up in middle America and building a construction business, have molded his relatable songs, telling stories listeners can immediately identify with. This has resulted in a dedicated, growing following, shown by the steadily increasing number of listens.
“A Different Man” Honors Our Veterans
Honoring all our Veterans is Jim’s stirring and profound tribute song, “A Different Man.” It is the story of a soldier returning home from combat in Afghanistan, and his struggles leaving the battlefield behind. Both timeless and timely, “A Different Man” shares lasting truths, and that truth is reflected in the opening line, “He came back from serving his country a different man.” Jim noted the song came to him in a dream, “brought to me by the spirit of my uncle, a World War II paratrooper shot seven times, losing his hand.”
Fan comments: “I’m a former soldier and don’t weep out easily, but dude, that got me… an absolute share.” “WOW…great song, it really hits home at this time in our country.” “This old Navy Vet has something in his eyes. When I came home (from duty) the first thing my young wife said was, ‘you sure have changed.’ I will never forget her words.”
“I Ride Alone” Is a Fun Ride, But It is Also Deep
Embedded in the fun of this smoking-hot, danceable rocker one might be surprised to find profound lyrics dealing with one of life’s eternal challenges. In “I Ride Alone” we find a man struggling for redemption from unspoken deeds, knowing that to do so he must “ride alone, from my past.” It is the difficult road to a redemptive path and a better life.
Fan comments: “You’ll like this one!” “Wow! This is awesome!!!” “Sounds amazing!!!”
