Joe Palen (age 49) has been writing songs since he was a teenager, but waited until 2008 to record his debut CD "Subject To Change". At one point, he considered naming his debut "It's Never Too Late" (because that's one of the messages he hopes to spread as he tours the world with his music). He settled on "Subject To Change" after finding that title in a note he'd written to himself 17 years earlier (along with some sketches used as the basis of the final CD artwork).
Though heavily influenced by The Beatles (and after spending years trying to sound like other people), Joe has managed to find his own unique voice.
His songs display a variety of sounds and emotions, resulting from a personal journey that started in his teens (when he wrote his first songs), carried him through his coffeehouse years, and have finally brought him to the release of this solo debut CD. Joe and his co-producer (Andy Machin, BigRock Studios) have kept the sound as close to a live acoustic performance as possible, intentionally steering away from the temptation to over-produce. The only two instruments on this CD are a guitar and a voice (both played by Joe).
Joe is an almost-native Californian (his family moved to Chula Vista from Milwaukee, Wisconsin when he was six), former linebacker for the USC Trojans (Fight On!), and is currently living in the San Diego area with his two daughters (Autumn and Jordan).

The world is round The rain comes but once a week The globe where we all live, In our blue skies above Looking for what we all do want, The spirit of peace and love
Wanting that baby in our arms to hold Watching a friendship grow From birth to days of old As the tears roll down When all is not good And we smile when The sun does come again
Seeking angels, In pastures of green, Weeping children, And, Hunger pains to cry We look to God, In prayers of forgiveness In asking ourselves, why
The world is round This globe where we all live, Under blue skies of grey cloud We fight wars, and we fight to be proud We feed the hungry, we defend the poor, Then we look to the heavens, And ask for more
Wanting that baby in our arms to hold, Not wishing for a babies tears to cry As the tears roll down When all is not good And we smile when The sun does come again
Seeking angels, In pastures of green, Weeping children, And, Hunger pains to cry We look to God, In prayers of forgiveness In asking ourselves, why
As the tears roll down When all is not good And we smile when The sun does come again
The world is round This globe where we all live We feed the hungry, we defend the poor, Then we look to the heavens, And ask for more
As the tears roll down When all is not good And we smile when The sun does come again We smile, when we know Tomorrow will reign
I say that life is not what we live I say that love has lost its taste I say that being famous or being normal is the same thing the main thing is be yourself! I say be afraid to speak, write and communicate will be the animal as it already is beyond us! I say live and let live, turn off the TV, make love with someone you love for hours and hours, greets and helps those in need I say that those who exploit and pretends to be another heart attack and then changes it deserves! I say that we must always be ourselves!, in the most ugly things to understand .... understand?
