1) Wayne is an Americana quinte… Read Full Bio ↴There are five artists called Wayne:
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 ↴
Use it anywhere you please
I'm not going to fight it out
All the decoration that is getting such attention
Lacks a little gravity to me
But no offence
Call me if you need me
You can find me even when there's no
One else around
Temporary is what it is
But I've got different blood
When you hear a whip do you
Focus from the fear of a little pain
Always worked and never fed
Scars can always tell a story
But it just ends up in vain
If you get scarred again the same way
Call me
I don't know when this was new
Only new to me
Wayne's song "Temporary" appears to be a musing on the nature of existence, relationships and personal identity. The song opens with a rather self-effacing statement, suggesting that most of the lyrics are "filler" that can be used "anywhere you please". This lack of attachment to the words suggests a sense of detachment and transience in the singer's life. They are not "going to fight it out", suggesting that they are resigned to the way things are, perhaps even to the impermanence of life itself. The "decoration" that others may find important, the singer finds lacking in "a little gravity".
But despite this sense of detachment, the singer still offers themselves as a supportive figure. They urge the listener to "call me if you need me", suggesting that their detachment is not absolute; they still want to be there for others. But, they also suggest that they are different from the majority, that they have "different blood", adding an air of mystery to their character. The final lines of the first verse suggest that the singer is a loner, but that you can always find them if you need them.
The second verse suggests a darker side to the singer's personality. The line "When you hear a whip do you focus from the fear of a little pain" implies that they may have experienced abuse or violence in the past. However, they may not have been entirely powerless, as they suggest that "scars can always tell a story". There is a certain level of detachment, even from their own past, as they suggest that such experiences may "just end up in vain". Despite this, they still offer their support and urge the listener to "call me" if they are hurt in the same way.
Overall, "Temporary" presents a complex and somewhat contradictory character. They are detached and transitory, yet still offer themselves as a support to others. They have experienced pain in the past, but seem to view it as almost inevitable. The song suggests a sense of impermanence and uncertainty, but also an underlying resilience and hope.
