Q: Since you talk mostly English when you are not in Sweden did it ever happen to you to struggle to remember a word in Swedish when you get home, or when you talk to your family? It happens to me sometimes to not be able to think of a word in my own language, but I know it in English, which is weird given that I rarely speak English :)

2024-01-16 10:11:44 +0000 UTCJoel Q:Has music from before your youth played an influence in your current tastes in music, or are you fluid in regards to influence? As in being fluid by using music as an extension of emotions that words fail to express. That is how I listen. Thank you ✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂

2024-01-15 18:04:51 +0000 UTCQ: How long does it take you to get over jet-lag where you start to fear normal? And which way is harder to get over?

2024-01-12 12:35:14 +0000 UTCIr's never too late! I suppose it's just like anything else you learn later on in life. I mean, I've worked I'm Opticians for 14 years and now I'm going to University to study Criminology and Forensics. I'm 38 and have a very old brain- my memory and ability to retain information is awful! I find brain training apps help. 5-10 mins a day doing little memory/arithmetic games. I'd definiteky recommend downloading a couple of these along with the Simply Piano or other learning apps and just give it a go xx

2024-01-12 08:17:28 +0000 UTCI did wonder this too xx
Hayley
2024-01-12 08:16:07 +0000 UTCThanks for the update! Hope you and your family are okay. I hear it has been really cold in North Europe ☃️🥶 Q: do you relax more in Sweden because you are with family or is it because your work and live in the same house in LA? So did you find some ideas to relax more when you are back in LA?
Annelies
2024-01-12 05:06:14 +0000 UTCThnks for update🤍 Q: What do you think about the Ariana Grande’s new song, “Yes,and?” Do you like it? Hope you’re having a great time in sweden. 😘

2024-01-11 23:55:31 +0000 UTCMy wrap top 5 is all signing class sings too, that was disappointing 👀 but #6 was So Selfish :)

2024-01-11 22:37:24 +0000 UTCYou are so funny Joel, that laugh really cheers me up 😂 Q: Would you consider doing a 'YIAY' style video, where you sing about the week/month before news in an entertaining way? A bit like your old meme songs, finding the funny bits out of mundane news?? You could ask the Reddit/discord members to submit ideas for your team to pick the best of the week/month.

2024-01-11 22:32:29 +0000 UTCQ: would you call yourself more of a rational or emotional person? And what of those two is it easier for you to deal with? P.S. thanks for the updates

2024-01-11 21:06:56 +0000 UTCQ: Your lovely smile makes my day. 💜 You mentioned about inviting people for interviews and do songwriting together. Is/Are there anyone that you've always wanted to collaborate with but just didn't have the chance to?

2024-01-11 20:09:48 +0000 UTCQ: what do you do at the gym?

2024-01-11 19:09:52 +0000 UTCBeing back in Sweden and relaxing has really suited you Joel, you seem more at ease and back to your naturally chaotic self 😊 Q: Back to the random questions this week, did you have a drum kit before you started lessons? Looking into getting mini agent of chaos drum lessons because he enjoys music, got great rhythm and an abundance of excess energy to burn 🤣
Jen 🦙
2024-01-11 19:09:03 +0000 UTCQ: How often do you get angry and how do you deal with it? Just had a discussion with friends and thought I'd ask for your experience.
Cas
2024-01-11 18:58:00 +0000 UTCQ: Do you get to see the northern lights from where you live in Sweden? If so, is it something to always be in awe of each time or is it just something common? I live in a tropical country and we don’t even have snow 😅. The idea of getting to see the northern lights casually from your backyard sounds like a dream.

2024-01-11 18:56:27 +0000 UTCQ: what the most afraid you have ever been? Like getting lost as a kid, or hitting a patch of ice driving, or almost accidentally doxxing yourself on a live stream? Any close calls during the extreme sports stuff? I almost drowned in a pool once showing someone you could blow bubbles and it would make you sink then had trouble getting back to the surface.

2024-01-11 18:51:22 +0000 UTCReally good question, I have been wondering the same thing, since it would be nice to learn to play an instrument 🙂
JustSomeJK
2024-01-11 18:50:14 +0000 UTCNice to hear from u like always 🙂 Thanks for answering my question 😊 Mmm cinnamon buns, those are so good! 😋 I had the same issue with snacks and weight, so I made the same resolution as u about sugar, so no buns or rolls 🥲. I hope u haven't had bad cravings or headaches or anything after quitting sugar 🙂 I really hope u allow yourself some treats on your birthday though, one needs to enjoy life too 🙂 I'm glad to hear that u are bringing back the team, not because u couldn't do any of it yourself just as well, we all know u can (even made cool stick dudes yourself 😁), but so that u don't kill yourself with work ❤️ I hope u have a great time there in Sweden 😊💙 Q: I really liked the way u made the TOP 10 Songs are shocking video, is that the concept u are thinking of using on the upcoming commentary videos 🙂?
JustSomeJK
2024-01-11 18:47:11 +0000 UTCThanks Melissa, i haven't heard of it so will look it up. I think I'll buy a really cheap keyboard and see how i get on. I had a couple of strokes in lockdown that have affected my left hand so it will be frustrating i think 🤷🏻♀️

2024-01-11 18:00:49 +0000 UTCI love it when Joel and Daniel play their pianos in their videos!! So, I guess you could say that they’ve inspired me to want to buy one and learn how to play it. And I’m 46, btw. an old boomer, for sure!! Have you thought about the app “Simply Piano”?! I love singing…and always have, I have the “Simply Sing” app.

2024-01-11 17:54:36 +0000 UTCHi Joel. Seems like a good plan to work more with the team. Q: do you ever sing or play together with your family or friends just for fun🎶🎶
Elli
2024-01-11 17:53:01 +0000 UTCThank you for the song recommendations. Q: Do you have a source of inspiration for writing the songs that maybe aren't directly from your own experience?
Nina L
2024-01-11 17:51:07 +0000 UTCQ: do you think there is an age limitation on learning an instrument and music theory? I wanted to learn piano as a child but my mum couldn't afford it, I'm 38 now and I'm wondering if it's too late realistically.
Snoodle
2024-01-11 17:46:40 +0000 UTCQ: Your studio in Sweden…where’s your “pling plong table”?! Also, you mentioned bringing Jiva back as an editor and a new editor…have you talked to Joshua Fish about possibly coming back?! Or Martin?! You might not want to have a huge team back, right away…I was just wondering about familiar faces/editors?! Your new video format is fun to watch, and I like the idea of being able to vote for a favorite song…but also, I love all of your songs for different reasons…it’s really hard to choose. 😁🥹🥺
