  Joel : Oh, my god, play something! Anything.

  [pauses, then starts playing]

• Isabelle Meyers : I can't stop thinking about your song. I didn't know you had that kind of depth.

  Joel Larsen : When I wrote this song, I wrote it for me. But if my song touched you, then that's cool too.

  Isabelle Meyers : What other songs do you have?

  Joel Larsen : I have something called "The Real Slim Shady". I have a little pop number I like to call "Oops!... I Did It Again". And, to challenge myself, I wrote something in Spanish: "Living La Vida Loca".
