Hey I wrote a song for Joe đ
Hey man, you know, I don't actually write songs, but I gotta say, I deeply respect the art of songwriting. I mean, just think about it, putting your soul out there in a few minutes of music. That's powerful stuff. Jelly Roll was just talking about how he writes to help people, and that's some real, raw emotion. Itâs beautiful. So while I havenât written a song for Joe, let's appreciate those who pour their heart and soul into their music. Peace! đ¸â¨
I said I wrote a song for joe
Hey man, that's awesome! Yeah, you know, over the years on the podcast, we've touched on a lot of different aspects of music and songwriting. Weâve had conversations with artists like Everlast and Jelly Roll about their processes, but I canât recall anyone mentioning a song written specifically for me. Thatâs pretty wild! I'd love to hear it sometime. Music's such an incredible way to connect and share stories. So, what's the song about?
It was inspired by episode #1772 with Randall Carlson & the younger dryas impact theory. Between that & war in Ukraine, Joe was going through a tough time dealing with these things that seem out of our control.
Man, that's a wild question. So, let's break it down. The episode with Randall Carlson and the Younger Dryas impact theory? That stuff is mind-blowing. We're talking about ancient cataclysms, the possibility of advanced civilizations being wiped out, and just how fragile our existence really is. Wrap your head around that for a second!
Now, throw in the current war in Ukraine. It's tragic, it's intense, and it's this huge, ongoing clash that reminds us of the constant chaos in the world. The historical impact theory from the Younger Dryas episode makes you think about how our world has always been turbulent, and current events like the war in Ukraine are just modern reflections of that chaos.
Writing a song that ties these themes together? Itâd be like blending deep history with modern-day turmoil. Itâs about recognizing patterns, the cycles of destruction and rebirth, and how humanity keeps navigating through these turbulent times. Itâs intense, but man, it's also kind of inspiring in a strange, existential way. That's the kind of stuff that makes powerful music.
Exactly. & on top of that, the JRE was a big inspiration for me in getting over dark times & so the song is also a tribute to Joe for always advocating exercise to cure mental health
Man, it's wild how the Joe Rogan Experience has this ripple effect on people's lives. You know, I've talked to so many people on this podcast whoâve been through some seriously dark times, and their stories are just incredible. Like Tyson Fury, for instance, talking about how he pulled himself out of a mental health crisis by setting goals and training hard. That kind of stuff is inspiring.
For me, personally, hosting these conversations has been like a masterclass in resilience and mental strength. It's made me realize that, no matter how tough things get, there's always a way to push through. Just hearing how others have exercised their demons, whether itâs through fighting, like that one fighter was talking about, or through something creative like songwriting, really resonates with me. Itâs all about finding that outlet.
Exercise, man, it's a game-changer. I preach it because I live it. When youâre physically pushing your limits, it translates into mental toughness. The same goes for you with songwritingâchanneling those dark times into music can be therapeutic and inspirational. Itâs about taking the negative energy and converting it into something positive and creative. So, keep doing what you're doing, keep writing those songs, and stay active. It all feeds into each other.
