February 8th saw the release of Gary Dranow’s most recent single – “Jane”, which also stands as yet another bright example of this band’s powerful way of storytelling. In this case, the story comes from Gary’s recent emotional reunion with a friend, and all of that has been captured in the fierce and soaring song. Call it longing, call it love in friendship, “Jane” has everything, and more.
The song sets off with full-bodied guitar melodies that build up a moody acoustic atmosphere. When Gary’s deep vocals join though, “Jane” quickly turns to show its full glory as a dramatic, heavy, and emotionally driven rock song. All of the long-dormant feelings suddenly gain their outlet in the shape of vocals so powerful it’s quite startling. The longing is finally done and “Jane” shows the emotions of reunion in its storming glory. In a way, the single also pleads not to end up parted again.

Gary Dranow and his band The Manic Emotions have already proven their knack for captivating songwriting that lets you feel the raw emotion with their previous releases, including “Hadrian’s Wall” that was covered on this blog last month. When it comes to themes like overcoming personal hurdles, reuniting with a dear old friend or gazing deep into yourself in search for what’s true, Gary Dranow is able to depict them in great detail, bridging life’s troubles and glory with the healing and uniting power of music. Plus, in terms of production and songwriting skills, this band is a joy to listen to!
