Today (March 31), singer/songwriter and author Phil Joel releases a live video recording of “Better Than I Found It,” which can be viewed below. The recording was filmed live in New Zealand at New Zealand’s Festival One. The track is the lead track from Joel’s latest project which was written, recorded, and produced entirely by Joel in his home studio during quarantine.
“The idea of all of us taking responsibility for caring for our fellow human beings, our nation, and our planet has really been at the forefront of my mind over the last couple of years, so recording these songs now felt like perfect timing,” says Joel. “Right now, we’re all being forced to think about the future and what kind of world we want to live in, not just for ourselves and our children, but for our neighbors and their children and grandchildren. It’s a time to ask big questions about where we are and how we got here. But more importantly, it’s about who we want to be as we move into this new, delicate future. I tried to explore these questions and reflect the challenges they pose, while also presenting hope for a better tomorrow.”
Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Phil Joel came to the UNITED STATES Joel first joined one of Christian music’s most iconic groups in 1994, Newsboys.
