William Joseph- Standing the Storm
“The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.” -Unknown

Skillet: Comatose
Are we in a dream state?
“…when you look at the artwork for the record, it’s got this boy kind of staring up to the side in a kind of mesmerized position and when you open up the artwork you see that he’s kind of looking at this jumbled mass of electronics, tvs, computers, and equipment. And it’s basically saying that yeah, we’ve become this technological based monster and communication’s easier, more ways to communicate than we’ve ever had before… but yet we’re feeling more alone as the year goes by because we’re not really reaching out to other people. And there is a social, kind of conscious, message to the record of making the world a better place and looking around saying, ‘What can you do to make a difference in this world?’ To bring hope to people who don’t have hope? People that are feeling lonely… that you would bring them hope. Loving people that might hate you. So that’s kind of what Comatose is about - it’s a very broad message but it’s kind of a wake up call, you know? Come out of all that selfishness and all the things that we think the world has to offer that, in the end, do not satisfy. And wake up out of that state and rise above it.”

3 Doors Down: Citizen Soldier
This is one of those songs that makes you feel patriotic and for many causes them to contemplate, if but for a moment, serving our country by joining the military. Thank you to all the citizen soldiers who help protect our freedoms.

Recognize the heroes in your life and take every opportunity to thank them for the support and help they provide you…I am not talking about your favorite athlete or celebrity, I am talking about those people in your life that are actively and proactively working to make your life that much happier.

William Joseph: Piano Fantasy
The word fantasy is most often referred to as a term in psychology as a “mental apprehension of an object of perception; the faculty by which this is performed” and further as “the fact or habit of deluding oneself by imaginary perceptions or reminiscences” or “a day-dream arising from conscious or unconscious wishes or attitudes.” These definitions present an obstacle between reality and desire, and define fantasy as the mediator. ”Fantasy” and its many derivations originate in the Greek word, ‘phantasia,’ which literally means “to make visible.” Conflicting definitions arise from the varying modern uses of the word fantasy and its counterpart, phantasy, which is derived from the German word ‘phantasie’ (meaning imagination, in the sense of “the world of imagination, its contents and the creative activity which animates it”) (Laplance, 314). -Anna Brenner (The University of Chicago)
This piano song by William Joseph truly is “a day-dream arising from conscious or unconscious wishes or attitudes”!
