Lyrics:
In crowded rooms, my spirit retreats,
To a hidden realm where I find peace.
Behind a mask, I play the part,
An extrovert with an introverted heart.
Caught in the tide of social waves,
Seeking the solitude, my spirit craves.
A paradox, this dual state,
An introvert in an extroverted fate.

Among the laughs, I hear my mind,
Whispering truths I can't confide.
Beneath the surface, deep inside,
A quiet place where I reside.

Behind bright eyes, a storm is concealed,
A private world, thoughts unrevealed.
In every smile, a silent plea,
To find a space where I can be free.
Embracing crowds, yet feeling lost,
The cost of blending in, such a cost.
To be unseen, to fade from view,
A hidden life that's always true.
In every moment, I remain,
A dual being, joy and pain.
An introvert, extroverted show,
A secret self that few will know.

A dance of masks, a practiced grace
Yet longing for a quiet space
To fit the mold yet not belong
An echo lost in its own song
Conversations flow, laughter rings
Yet deep within a different tune sings

Among the laughs, I hear my mind,
Whispering truths I can't confide.
Beneath the surface, deep inside,
A quiet place where I reside.
Only I.
It's Complicated.

The Introverted Extrovert (It's Complicated)

The Introverted Extrovert (It’s Complicated)

Welcome back to The Not Old Better Show! Today’s episode is for anyone who has ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or misunderstood simply because they weren’t the loudest voice in the room. If that sounds familiar, you’re in for something truly special.

Our guest is Joanna Rawbone, the inspiring founder of Flourishing Introverts, who is on a mission to empower introverts—especially midlife and older adults—to own their strengths, step into their power, and embrace their quiet brilliance. Joanna doesn’t just talk the talk; she’s a living example of what it means to thrive as an introvert in a world that often favors extroverts.

At 65, Joanna is proof that it’s never too late to follow your passions. From her work helping individuals rediscover their value to challenging organizations stuck in an extrovert bias, Joanna’s insights are truly life-changing. She has even graced the TEDx stage—yes, as an introvert—to amplify her message of inclusion and empowerment.

In this episode, we’ll dive into Joanna’s entrepreneurial journey and the challenges she’s faced as a woman in midlife. We’ll explore her vision to impact one million introverts worldwide and hear practical advice for anyone looking to embrace their quieter side and thrive in their careers, relationships, and personal lives. Joanna shares invaluable insights into how introverts can reclaim their confidence, manage their energy, and step into their power, proving that quiet strength is just as powerful as the loudest voice in the room.

Whether you’re an introvert yourself or you love someone who is, this conversation is a celebration of the value that introverts bring to the world. Joanna is here to show us that aging and introversion are not limitations but opportunities to thrive, pursue passions, and make a meaningful difference.

Album Synopsis:
Artist: Paul Louis Villani 
Release Titles: 2025 1.0, 2025 The Internationals, 2025 2.0 
Release Date: 2025 

Overview: 

The 2025 trilogy is my reckoning with the past and an uncompromising embrace of the future. Three albums—2025 1.0, 2025 The Internationals, and 2025 2.0 - will stand as a testament to my unrelenting need to create, even as I distance myself from the human chaos that once defined my musical career. Spanning up to 50 works, this monumental release splits into three distinct identities while maintaining their cohesion as a singular artistic statement. 

Background: 

Mid 2021, everything changed for me. The band dynamic that had dictated my creativity for decades was gone, leaving behind a hollow, venomous resentment for the compromises and burdens I had carried. For nearly 40 years, I was always the one: the one with the reliable car, the one funding the studio time when others came up short, the one dealing with the egos of unreliable bandmates. That grind left scars that are still raw. 

When I finally walked away from bands and the pitiful Australian Music Industry (unless you’re drinking with or taking drugs with the right people you have no chance), I thought I was done. But music and creativity doesn’t just let go. By 2024, 20 tracks were ready for vocals, and then floodgates unexpectedly opened. Even as I resented the relentless drive to create, stealing my sleep and dragging me back into long hours of recording, I couldn’t stop. Yet this time, it was on my terms. No live performances. No face-to-face collaboration. No compromises. 

Challenges and Resilience: 

My refusal to collaborate in person isn’t stubbornness; it’s survival. The toxicity of past experiences pushed me to sever ties with the traditional music-making process. Nearly four decades of dragging bandmates and their baggage through every stage of creation left me bitter and done with humanity’s role in music. I don’t mince words about it: "I’m fucking over it. I’ll never share a rehearsal room, stage, or studio with anyone ever again." 

But out of this anger, a new way of working emerged—a way that fueled my creativity without reopening old wounds. Texts and emails with Mauro Elias, the album’s vocalist, brought refreshing simplicity. Mauro’s immense talent and organic approach to crafting melodies proved to me that music doesn’t require the chaos of human proximity. 

Looking Forward: 

Is this the end? I want to believe it is, but I’m no Nostradamus. The future looms large, with artificial intelligence already playing a role in the visual components of 2025. While AI hasn’t yet touched the music, lyrics, or vocals, I see its potential. AI could eliminate human messiness from music production entirely, something I entirely welcome. If anything can convince me to keep going, it’s the idea of embracing a future where creation no longer hinges on human involvement. 

For now, 2025 isn’t just a trilogy of releases; it’s my statement. It’s my defiance. It’s my refusal to let the weight of the past crush my urge to create. And whether it’s my swan song or the start of something new, 2025 is a raw, unfiltered declaration of who I am, what I’ve endured, and where I refuse to go back to.
