"Joe Huettner makes the world a better place" - Jess Blasko, Ithaca, New York Originally from a small farm in South Central Pennsylvania, JOE HUETTNER's pursuits in music led him to the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where he plans to major in Songwriting. “I don't think people want to hear about sadness all the time, and that seems to be a majority of the songs on the radio now,” says Huettner. “I want to get some happiness out there, but without sacrificing musical quality. However, if a sad song is written, I won't hesitate to let people hear it. Unless it sucks." As well as Songwriting, Joe's interests include playing the electric bass, reading up on Roman history, and being a diehard fan of the Boston Red Sox.

Story behind the song
"I found myself giving a lot of advice to people, and these people were usually not interested in it. Sure, they'd ask me 'Joe, what do I do?' However, what I suggested to them, which was usually the most honest and straightforward path, was not at all what they were prepared to do. So I wrote this song to vent my frustrations." - J.G.H.
Lyrics
I'm tired Tired of being the answer Tired of all these people asking me what they should do When nobody seems to listen They all want the answers, but they reject them when they're true Well, I think that it's time to make the world a little fair Something's got to go to make it easier to bear Let's get rid of honesty, so truth no longer hurts No one really needs it anyway It's easy Easy to live without it Imagine all the couples who now can break up on the phone Or the ones who think they know the future They can go on pretending that they'll never be alone With truth out of the way, we all can shamelessly survive Without it, we're in heaven living in a world of lies And if you find an honest man, just laugh and turn away I'm sure he's probably lying anyway Chorus: It's the answer for the generation, And it's come out just in time A whole new mindset floods the nation And now we've got nothing to hide Remember To always wear a smile Even if you feel like there's no reason you should live And if once in a while You feel like your world is crashing down around you Just take all of your feelings, put them in a little ball Swallow them, make sure you don't remember them at all With all you've got to do, you can't let pain get in the way I speak the truth friends, lying's here to stay (Chorus)
