Joseph's solo project released an EP entitled No Phun Intended. The EP was recorded in Joseph's senior year of high school, from 2007–2008, in his basement. The song "Save", off the release, was redone and released as a free download for a time on Twenty One Pilots' official website before it was then pulled.
In 2010, Joseph was featured in the song "Live" by the Christian rapper Jocef, with two other rappers (Juda and Alon). The song is the opening track to Jocef's debut album, In Search Of: L.O.V.E. The track was co-written by Tyler Joseph and Joseph Langston (who is Jocef). Jocef eventually returned the favor a year later by being featured on the song "Be Concerned" off Twenty One Pilots' 2011 Regional at Best.
In 2011, Joseph was also the lead star in Five14 Church's three episode mockumentary entitled "The (moderately inspiring tale of the) Longboard Rodeo Tango". According to the mockumentary, Joseph was an intern at the church at the time.
In 2012, Joseph was featured in an internet-use awareness video entitled "Where are you?" by Mark C. Eshleman (producer of many of Twenty One Pilots' music videos) for an annual contest put on by Trend Micro called What's Your Story? The room used in the video is the same room in which the original music video for "House of Gold" was filmed.
On December 24, 2013, Christmas Eve, Tyler Joseph participated and sang "O come, O come, Emmanuel" at Five14 Church's Christmas With the Stars in New Albany, Ohio. The official video of the performance was uploaded to YouTube on February 14, 2014. He also performed a magic segment with the church's host & emcee David McCreary for the show. Joseph has also contributed to a few tracks for Five14 Church's worship albums.
Between the years of No Phun Intended and Twenty One Pilots' rise to fame with their third studio album "Blurryface" the clique expanded the search for Tyler's 'lost' songs from his first production. In mid-2018 (day 361 of the Twenty One Pilots hiatus) 2 new tracks surfaced, one titled "Going Down" from No Phun Intended, and the other untitled but known as "Track 07", suspected to be a demo from 2011-2012 era.

Falling Too
Tyler Joseph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So confident in life, so right
But then I found you were afraid
And that means life is not okay
I wonder what's inside your mind
And if there's anything to find
I hope that you awake some day
I will sing for you a song
Tell me if you think that's wrong
If I let you know I'm here
'cause I am falling down
I would laugh away the pain
Did you know I'd run all day
Just to maybe hear you say
That you are falling too
I know you are afraid of many things
But you need to let go
If you want to sing a praise
I will sing for you a song
Tell me if you think that's wrong
If I let you know I'm here
'cause I am falling down
I would laugh away the pain
Did you know I'd run all day
Just to maybe hear you say
That you are falling too
I will sing for you
I will sing for you
The song "Falling Too" by Tyler Joseph speaks about an individual who appears to be confident and content with their life but is actually scared and struggling. The persona of the song talks about hoping to uncover what's going on in the individual's head, and that they will awaken from this state of denial and realize that everything is not alright. The song expresses a sense of empathy, with the persona acknowledging their own struggles and using music as a way to connect with the troubled individual.
The song's chorus "I will sing for you a song, tell me if you think that's wrong, if I let you know I'm here 'cause I am falling down" emphasizes the idea that music can be a powerful tool for healing and creating a human connection. The persona also acknowledges that they are not perfect, as they experience their own pain, but they find comfort in having someone else who might be falling and struggling just as they are.
Overall, "Falling Too" is a song that celebrates the power of music in creating an emotional bond, bringing individuals together despite their struggles, and validating the emotions that come with the ups and downs of life.

It's past midnight.
I've known about this song for a long time, ever since I heard about No Phun Intended.
I'm finally making myself listen to it.
This is the last song that I am aware of by twenty one pilots or Tyler Joseph. I've heard every song on every album, the rest of this album, I've heard songs that Tyler was featured in years ago, I've heard Two and I Need Something and unnamed demo tracks.
I've heard it all.
Except this.
I don't want to lose the sense of excitement, of amazement, the realization that at least someone in this world understands. That feeling that only comes to me when I listen to a song by Tyler Joseph for the first time. I don't want to lose that beautifulness forever. Listening to a song by Tyler Joseph for the first time is magical.
This time, the magic will be bittersweet.
This time, the magic will be final.
@mecklevonheinsburgh4648
I listened to every song on Trench first,
Then I listened to every song on Self-Titled,
Then Vessel,
Then RAB,
Then Blurryface
And I said to myself, I'VE DONE IT! I've listened to every TOP song out there.
And then I saw Drown in my suggested videos list.
@gdizzlefosho5205
It is my firm belief that Tyler is the greatest song writer of all time.
