STAND UP
Posted: 10/8/2013
This is a song by Joel, called “Stand Up.” He played his electric and acoustic guitar, wrote and sang this song. He wrote it to have an acoustic intro with an electric rock chorus in order to create a “call to action” to those who are being bullied and feel scared.
Joel was picked on because he is smaller than those in his class and has long hair and likes Rock n Roll and the arts. He came home telling his mom and dad about how this group was picking on him, making fun of him and making him feel bad about himself. His mom and dad said to him “why don’t you write a song about it and tell them.” He takes solace in being criticized by focusing on his music and acting, and believes that he can truly make a difference with his music and acting.
