"Why am I on Earth" can relate to a lot of people who ask that same question
each day. Jim
Vilandre does well as the voice for millions of people who wonder what their
purpose is.
"Why am I on Earth" has a catchy melody and has the potential to be the next hit
on the
contemporary Christian charts.

Jim Vilandre's "World of Uncertainties" paints a good picture of the world
around us and the challenges we face in trying to improve the world. It's a
good song with honest words.

"When Love Rules Your Heart" has a radio-friendly sound with heartfelt lyrics.
The song speaks of the power of love and it's nicely done.

The message in "The Ideal World" is real and thoughtful and the message is
brought to life with a scenic melody. The song has a nice style reflective of
Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying".
