From The Artist : Upon creating my new song, “No Joke,” I contemplated the new age concept of polar opposites, and light vs. dark. During recording, I let the music take me to a proper state of mind and set the mood. I found myself in the mindframe of living in a world where we are constantly battling against the dark side of ourselves. There’s no rewind or reset button in this incarnation. It’s up to us to make our best life.
