When rock does more than just its rebellious nature, it overcomes all, pushing you out of your comfort zone. This is exactly how Jeremy Ryan captivates you with a standout rock track Smile & Wave.
Smile & Wave begins with infectious guitar riffs that dominate, and it does not take too long to settle and stick to your ears. His vocals cut through air not only with grit, but with ringing honesty. I love how it does more than just lighting a matchstick, it manages to keep a fire burn within you. Maybe it’s the fact that it was crafted and born out of the artist’s personal experience and journey as it resonates so well. It instantly reminded me of Linkin Park and Imagine Dragons from its overall vibes.
The track charges forward without looking back, not dropping any care as its recurring lyric. Every single word sung feels intentional and not too in your face. The part “I’m picking up my face today to look around and smile and wave,” is the sound of overcoming self-doubt. The shift from rhythm and melody on the bridge added more depth to the track. Like it’s leaving all worries and doubts to pursue something greater – like dreams, passions, and goals.
Jeremy Ryan’s Smile & Wave is just a single track from his growing discography, and it has a great balance between reflective lyrics and brilliant musicality. Check out his latest works and follow his socials!
