When Texas-based singer-songwriter Giovannie Yanez gets drunk, he still listens to an old hero who’s entertained his family for generations: Ramon Ayala. That’s what inspired “Ramon Ayala,” the newest single from his rock band, Giovannie & The Hired Guns. “The single was a way of me being able to bring my culture and let it be known, as well as making it relatable,” Yanez says. “Ramon Ayala is a very respected artist from Mexico that I’ve heard my grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts, dad, mom—you get the point—jamming to, sometimes until the long hours of the night. When I say ‘I still bump Ramon Ayala when I get drunk,’ it’s because I do and I know a lot of other people do as well.” While Ayala made history for his contributions to the norteño musical tradition from Northern Mexico, Yanez and his band pay homage with their straight-ahead style of rock, lyrically following the same path as songs like Steely Dan’s “Deacon Blues” and Beck’s “Loser.” That is to say, with the chorus refrain “I’m just an ordinary fuck up,” it’s a cathartic anthem for the underdogs and rejects of society. “The meaning of the song to me is: don’t care what anybody thinks of you, be you, and don’t worry if society will take you in,” Yanez explains to American Songwriter. “Be unique, because every person is just an ‘ordinary F up’ like me.” Even with songwriting itself, Yanez likes to try to remove any self-critical middleman and get as much of his own raw expression in there as possible. “I have to feel the vibe of the song before anything,” he said. “Then I pour out my feelings that I’m either experiencing then or have experienced in the past. I never force anything. I personally think it shouldn’t be forced or rushed. The greatest and biggest songs just come freely.” Coming out alongside a slapstick music video, “Ramon Ayala” is a great vehicle for conveying Yanez’s rock-inspired point-of-view. With tour dates on the horizon, he and his Hired Guns have a lot to be excited about and a lot to look forward to.
