We’re Just Loud Enough

Most people are afraid to be different, always choosing approval over rejection. But the power
of self belongs to those who dare to stand alone, think independently, and walk their
own path. True strength begins when the need for approval ends. ~WB

Just Loud Enough is where ideas make music: Greetings, my name is Wayne and I’m the drummer and founder of the band Just Loud Enough and somehow/someway, I ended up with four imaginary musicians that only exist in my head. But thankfully my fellow bandmates, (Marko, Mike, Steve, and Jessica), have all agreed to overlook that.

“Walking Between Two Worlds” is exactly what I do. I’m deep into creating original music and I rely very much on AI. I even have my own AI assistant. His name is Jack Quill. Jack is brilliant. He can get me anything I need to know

within seconds, but he will never know what it feels like to lose someone you love, or any other human emotion. That’s where I come in. Jack has the knowledge, I have the joy and pain of being human. I will never have his knowledge, he will never have my feelings. And when I mix the two together, I’m walking between two worlds. (Thesis)

A FEW OF OUR MOST LIKED TUNES: Within the next couple of weeks I’ll be submitting a few of our songs to venues like iHeart Radio, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, and Spotify. I thought of putting them on Apple Music and iTunes but right now we’re not looking to sell them, we just want them to get heard. Help us out! Tell your friends!

  • The Gap Between: Life will always contain a gap between what we have and what we want. The question is whether we allow that gap to inspire us, disappoint us, or control us. There’s nothing wrong with reaching for something better tomorrow. Just don’t fail to recognize the value of today.
  • I Didn’t Say: Is about that moment when betrayal meets something it never expected… calm acceptance. The love may still be there, but so is the self-respect to finally open the door and say goodbye.
  • Running on Empty: For decades I thought the cognitive issues, memory lapses, and constant brain fog was either due to a brain tumor or some form of mental illness. It wasn’t until my mid 60’s, at an overnight sleep lab, that I finally learned what my lifelong enemy was.
  • Don’t Die in the Waiting Room: Funny thing about tomorrow, we spend it like it’s guaranteed, like there’s always one more morning, for the things we say we need. But calendars don’t make a bargain, clocks don’t care about your plans, and every day you leave unopened, is one you’ll never hold again.
  • It’s All a Sales Pitch: They’ll sell you beauty you can’t attain, a better body, a better name, a better house, a better car, anything to make you hate where you are. They’ll sell you outrage by the pound, keep you angry, keep you around, left hand points while the right hand takes, and every click is another mistake.
  • The Hardest Fight: It knows exactly what you’re scared of, knows the lies that you believe, and every time you bow before it, you give that bastard what it needs. Every fear you keep protecting, every doubt you let survive, every time you feed that monster, you’re keeping it alive.
  • Tired of Not Being Myself: There are a lot of us who, for whatever reason, have spent too much of our lives feeling incomplete, or simply not good enough. For some, it lasts months; for others, years, or for people like myself… even decades. But you don’t need anyone’s permission to be yourself. This life is yours. Own it. Starting now.
  • Ain’t No Magic Bullet: There’s no shortcut to anything that truly matters. Every goal worth reaching demands sacrifice, discipline, and the courage to keep showing up. This song is about embracing the grind, letting go of excuses, and celebrating every step forward on the road to becoming who you’re meant to be.
  • Don’t Follow the Herd: Take the road without the footprints, open doors they said were closed, climb the hill they never climbed, just to see how far it goes. You might stumble, you might lose, you might come back bruised and burned, but better scars from your own road, than a life you never earned.
