“Behind the Smile” is a hauntingly honest ballad that peels back the layers of public bravado to reveal the quiet ache of hidden sorrow. With vivid storytelling and emotional depth, the song explores the contrast between outward joy and inner turmoil—capturing the silent battles fought behind laughter and the masks we wear. Through evocative lyrics and a soulful melody, it speaks to anyone who’s ever felt alone in a crowd, offering a powerful reminder that sometimes the brightest smiles hide the deepest pain.

John Simon is a multi-talented writer, songwriter, and creative entrepreneur based in Guthrie, Oklahoma. After spending 23 years behind the wheel as a dedicated truck driver, John's life took a turn when health concerns forced him off the road. Rather than slowing down, he shifted gears—channeling his grit, heart, and storytelling instincts into writing books and music that celebrate rural life, personal freedom, and the spirit of Americana.

He is the founder of Simon Music and Okie Radio, platforms that amplify original songs and stories rooted in tradition, humor, and emotional depth. Whether he's crafting heartfelt ballads, playful animal adventures, or patriotic anthems, John's work resonates with audiences who appreciate authenticity and a good story well told.

John lives with his family in Guthrie, where he's surrounded by the love of his loyal Pitbull, Rona, and the inspiration of Oklahoma's wide skies and close-knit community. His creative journey is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and the power of storytelling to connect, heal, and uplift.
