1) Wayne is an Americana quintet from Birmingham, Alabama made up of Rodney Reaves - vocals and guitar, Michael Swann - guitar and vocals, Kevin Harrison - guitar and vocals, his twin Keith Harrison - bass and vocals, and Jonathan Hornsby - drums and percussion. In the late nineties, they released their first LP, Music on Plastic, independently. This record garnered the attention of local customers of Laser's Edge in Homewood, radio DJ and A&R guy Scott Register, and eventually the Aware compilation put out by Columbia Records, one of which included their song "Letterbox".
The band was shortly picked up by upstart indie label TVT - Default, Sevendust, Southern Culture on the Skids - and soon the single "Whisper" hit Modern Rock radio with a relatively warm reception. Around this time Music on Plastic was rereleased with enhanced packaging and a slightly different track list featuring the additions of "Be This Way," "With Regards," and "Temporary," but conspicuously missing fan favorite "Noose" from the indie pressing. The release was critically acclaimed, conjuring comparisons to Coldplay and R.E.M.
Major label touring forced Keith and Kevin to leave the band and focus on their pre-health studies. They were replaced by Justin Johnson on bass and Rusty Smithson on guitar for the touring band. Highlights of the TVT era include a stint on the short lived Andy Roddick Show on TBS, whereupon the band performed "Whisper" and "Shooting at the Stars" in addition to cooking and playing tennis with the host.
In the early 00s the band amicably ceased performing. They recently reunited for a sold-out show at the WorkPlay Theatre in July of 2008. No word as of yet on whether they plan any more shows in the future.
Keith and Kevin Harrison currently perform regionally as Volant. They have released an ep and plan to step it up further when Keith finishes medical school.
2) WAYNE was one-album project of David Wayne, frontman of METAL CHURCH. Disbanded after Wayne’s death on May 10, 2005.
3) Wayne is also the name of a singer songwriter who release an album called "At Last" which is now regarded as a classic of outsider music.
4) Wayne is a metal band from Cantabria (north of Spain). They have a very peculiar vision of metal, and their music reflects it. They are influenced by a huge range of bands. Their first album was titled "Eve Of Your Revolution" and at the moment are recording their second LP, which will be released by the end of the year, the title: 'The Moon Effect'. This is hoy they describe their sound: "Will Haven meets Foo Fighters".
5) Wayne, most times Wayne Santana (Dark Violo earlier) is the stage name of Umberto Violo, Italian (t)rapper of the trap collective Dark Polo Gang along with Dark Pyrex, Tony Effe and Dark Side.
In 2015 "Succo Di Zenzero" is published, a solo project that includes featurings with Enzo Dong, Sfera Ebbasta and other fellow members of the Dark Polo Gang.

Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you still say i can't wait until and you're still dreaming
I guess some things never die and the ones that do make you cry
And that one little sparkle in your eye is what keeps you going on and on
When you smile is it just for the lights
And when you pray does it come from deep inside
Did today look good when you went to bed last night
So don't let them make your head spin
Throw out a line and pull your soul in
Call your mother and tell her that you're fine
When you hurt there's always a reason why
But grief and pain are only passers by
So make sure tomorrow looks good before you sleep tonight
Don't ever let them bring you down
Try not to let them make you frown
'Cause in the morning when the light shines in
You know today you might win
Wayne's song "Drop D" is a poignant reflection on the ephemeral nature of time and the way that memories and dreams can help us continue to persevere even when life's hurdles seem insurmountable. The opening lines of the song set the tone for this introspective tone, emphasizing the fact that there are always more things to look forward to no matter how many days have passed us by. Yet despite this hopeful sentiment, the song acknowledges that not all things are meant to last forever. Some things we lose, and when we do, it can feel like our world comes crashing down around us. But throughout all of life's hardships, the song emphasizes the importance of holding onto that one "little sparkle" that keeps us going.
As the song progresses, Wayne encourages listeners not to let life's twists and turns get the best of them. Whether it's the unexpected twists and turns of each new day or the harsh words of people who may not understand us, the song urges us to keep moving forward and to keep our spirits high. We must remember that every day is a new day, filled with new opportunities and new chances to chase our dreams. By staying connected to the people we love, remembering the good times, and always looking forward towards the future, we can weather any storm.
Overall, Wayne's lyrics offer a powerful and uplifting message about the importance of perseverance, hope, and resilience in the face of life's challenges. By acknowledging the ways in which we all struggle and by offering a hand of support and encouragement, the song reminds us that we are never alone, and that together, we can face even the toughest of challenges.
Line by Line Meaning
The days have passed when there weren't enough days before them to say remember when
The excess of time has made it such that there are no longer any days which we can recollect
But you still say i can't wait until and you're still dreaming
Despite this, you maintain anticipation for the future and continue to desire fulfillment of your aspirations
I guess some things never die and the ones that do make you cry
Certain experiences have a lasting impact, whereas others may evoke painful, emotional responses
And that one little sparkle in your eye is what keeps you going on and on
The optimistic glimmer in your eyes serves as a driving force for your perseverance and resiliency
When you smile is it just for the lights
Do you only feign happiness for the benefit of others or are you truly content?
And when you pray does it come from deep inside
Is your spiritual devotion genuine and sincere or merely superficial?
Did today look good when you went to bed last night
Were you content with the events of the day before going to sleep?
Every morning starts with a sunrise and no fair warning for what might pass your eyes
The start of each day is unpredictable and can yield unexpected events or outcomes
So don't let them make your head spin
Don't allow these circumstances to overwhelm or confuse you
Throw out a line and pull your soul in
Anchor yourself and stay grounded amidst the chaos
Call your mother and tell her that you're fine
Check in with your loved ones and assure them of your well-being
When you hurt there's always a reason why
Pain and suffering typically stem from a discernible cause
But grief and pain are only passers by
However, these negative emotions are merely temporary and will eventually subside
So make sure tomorrow looks good before you sleep tonight
Take proactive measures to ensure your future is bright and positive
Don't ever let them bring you down
Don't allow external factors or individuals to impact your emotional state in a negative way
Try not to let them make you frown
Avoid exhibiting any negative or pessimistic attitude in response to these challenges
'Cause in the morning when the light shines in
Because each new day presents new opportunities and possibilities
You know today you might win
You have a chance to achieve success or attain your goals

They were amazing. I was a Budweiser rep when they performed one of their last concerts... We were a sponsor at that particular festival. What happened to them was because of a bad record deal. I was hoping they would come back from it but they never did. They were even more amazing live. I hope they are all doing well:)
Brandon Butler
Quite possibly the best band to have ever come out of Birmingham, Alabama...and there have been many. We miss you, Wayne.

Brandon Butler I kept looking for years hoping they'd release more music. Bought "Music on Plastic" back on Bomb Records and then again when they signed with TVT. It still remains one of my desert island albums.
Love Is Noise
Great band! Too bad they disappeared....they need to come back!
AvKermit
I know this video was posted a long time ago. But my uncle was the drummer and I never got to see them play cause I was too little to see them.
prp2
That's awesome! I'm glad you came across this. Tell your uncle that "Music on Plastic" is still one of my desert island albums all these years later. Great stuff!
Wade Colvert
If they ever were to get together and release music under their own record label there are def tons of us out there who would back them up and new ears to listen!
