The Human Condition

Mindy 🐝's Picks

You know when you have too many broken hearts and it's hard to to be vulnerable and courageous again to let yourself fall in love again - looking for the right person that never comes and you wonder why - hmmmm - this song is about that dilemma! 

I wanted to write a classical song - I wanted it about love but recalled my experience in my early years where I was afraid to commit, to fall and trust again.

Thanks AI for helping me land this track to this point reasonably quickly!  The song was butchered at the end so I needed to do some edit and restructure on the layers by splitting the stems and extending the song. A great demo for now for I do say so myself - it moved me. 

There is a hint of an extension of the love theme from my previous music video Once Upon A View I released on Youtube with an 1899 Cinderella Silent Film I was able to use! "The shoe must fit" :) 

Serve Love Lyrics

Upon a view at sunrise 
What lies ahead for you? 
Can there be love this time 
Waiting just for you?

I see again hesitation in those eyes 
Heels dug into grass brown stained 
What must lie on the other side
To defer again to another day?

Courage could not come soon enough 
But will it come at all?
You half-heartedly signed up for love 
With no stomach for the fall

Fall for love not because you are weak 
Fall for love because you are strong 
Fall for love not for the favours 
Fall for love because you serve love

Love has a lot to give 
But the shoe must also fit 
Love will refuse to stay 
It will indeed pull away
From the foolish takers 
The broken deniers 
Who sadly turn lovers 
Into runners for cover 

Courage could not come soon enough 
It won’t have to come soon
If you fool heartedly signed up 
To play lovers like fools

Fall for love not because you are weak 
Fall for love because you are strong 
Fall for love not for the favours 
Fall for love because we serve love

(Ah ahhhhhhhhhhh)
Serve, serve for love
(Ah ahhhhhhhhhhh)
Fall to serve love 

Upon a view to shine (shine) 
What be your kind? (the kind)
For the torch bearer (does know)
The light of truth fires up the passion 
oooooooh, ahhhhhhh

I see contemplation in your eyes 
Beneath stirring feet, you rise 
Committed to loving ways 
For much better days (better days)
The story goes, you wised up 
Bold tales of breaking down walls
That you full heartedly signed up 
To take the lead and light the way

(Ah ahhhhhhhhhhh)
Serve, serve for love
(Ah ahhhhhhhhhhh)
Fall to serve love 

(c) George Helou

Serve Love

This represents my story about how I was in a war zone at 5 years of age - a bomb exploded across an intersection from our apartment where I was standing on the balcony. I witnessed a young girl pass away from it - I was too young if there is any age to confront such horror. 

Many experiences starting with this one made me run from my dreams. I share how I managed to outgrow my fear. Many people relate to this story because we are all on that mission to overcome our fears, traumas and conditioning. 

Here I Am Lyrics 

Where to start? 
Maybe right from the start 
Burned in my soul 
An explosion mark 
A tail of smoke
Big boom, hurry run!
Running, running
Where are you mum?

Shockwaves blew 5 years 
Of innocence away 
Saw evil killing 
Boys and girls in its way
Realisation that 
Faceless monsters exist
Raise that guard 
For the stones and sticks

Upon me and around me
So much to do 
Stay in your shell kid
They’re in a bad mood
Park your dreams
Wish your wishes away
Trust once in yourself 
And they’ll make you pay

Where am I going? 
Who should I be?
Can I exist 
Beyond here?
This fear’s too heavy
For my knees
Can’t keep running
From who to be

Was too busy to find me
Too busy to find me
But here I am, here I am 
Got lost in the grinding
It sadly defined me 
But here I am, here I am
I feel so alive, 
This me I can’t hide
Here I am, here I am
Here I ammmmmmm!  

What a nice quiet kid
They’re so eager to say
Does what he’s told
He must be okay
Loyal to the one goal
To simply assimilate 
Camouflaged like vanilla
What a fate 

Must please them 
So they’ll accept you 
Be invisible 
So they can’t reject you
Put your hands down
Kill the attention
Before you fail
Avoid their detection

What’s this place 
That pushes me down?
Where does it come from? 
Why does it come?
Who are these creatures
Waiting in shadows?
Time to call their bluff
Hey! Come take me, awayyyyyy! 

Woooooaaaaahhhhhhhh!
Come take me, awayyyyy! 
Woooooaaaaahhhhhhhh!

Where did they go? 
I surrendered to their power
Are they that gutless?
Or was I the conductor?
Of their power 
To keep me from myself 
To keep me being 
Anything but myself

Where was I going? 
What to be?
Time to exist 
Beyond here
The fear was heavy
For my knees
Gotta stop running
From who to be

Was too busy to find me
Too busy to find me
But here I am, here I am 
Got lost in the grinding
It sadly defined me 
But here I am, here I am
I feel so alive, 
This me I can’t hide
Here I am, here I am
Here I ammmmmmm!

Where next?
This is a brand-new start
Creating from my soul 
Leave legacy marks
Precious trails 
Off memories and fun
Flowing, flowing
From heart to mind

Where next?
This is a brand-new start
Creating from my soul 
Leave legacy marks
Precious trails 
Off memories and fun
Flowing, flowing
This is my time

Here I Am

The rapid evolution of AI and all tech is clashing with the definition of what it means to be an artist, to create and to deliver meaningful value to ourselves and each other. 

This song calls out for a humbling to embrace the opportunities, temper the judgement and to allow new dynamics of expression and allow the adventure of where it lands, how it continues to evolve for a new balance of a sustainable value exchange. I see creativity and artistry to become a part of each human's way to express their purpose and emotion. 

The tech is far from perfect and may never truly get there, but it does deliver a platform that is truly spectacular and only keeps getting better. This song was frustrating because I could not get production with AI to avoid over-production and what I consider unnecessary layers of sounds. At least this is a kick ass demo for a future version cleaner and more refined. 

Joy Waves Lyrics 

You want the best for me 
So, I flow for you to see
In my proudest moments 
You’re neither felt or keen  
To express in the present 
How you experienced me 
Left hanging for timely attention
Left joy, joined the confusion 

I look closely and I see
A person caught in fear 
Incapable of creating 
Fearing the exposing
Embarrassing mistakes 
Costly trembling takes 
Evidence for the fail 
Reasons to quickly bail 

All good for some 
All bad for others 
But who knows?
Who knows?
Follow your heart 
Let passion drive you 
And let truth do  
The heavy lifting 

Flow for your purpose 
Stay true to your service 
Keep finding ways
To ride the joy waves  

Just ride the joy waves 
Ride (ride them high)
Just ride the joy waves 
Ride them high (Real high) 

Between black ’n white worlds 
Be petty or be understanding 
Driven by the desire to serve  
How do I balance the dividing?
Exit its fear while holding on 
To the pained eyes that roll 
Grasping for significance 
With perfection insistence 

All good for some 
All bad for others 
But who knows?
Who knows?
Follow your heart 
Let passion drive you 
And let truth do  
The heavy lifting 

Flow for your purpose 
Stay true to your service 
Keep finding ways
To ride the joy waves  

Just ride the joy waves 
Ride (ride them high)
Just ride the joy waves 
Ride them high (Real high)

I look closely and I see
A person caught in fear 
Incapable of a new race 
Competing for space 
Troubled by a new face
Costly hesitation takes 
Complacency centre stage
In a cloak ’n dagger game

All good for some 
All bad for others 
But who knows?
Who knows?
Follow your heart 
Let passion drive you 
And let truth do  
The heavy lifting 

Flow for your purpose 
Stay true to your service 
Keep finding ways
To ride the joy waves  

Just ride the joy waves 
Ride (ride them high)
Just ride the joy waves 
Ride them high (Real high)

Those flexing creative prestige 
Frowning at unconventional ways 
That surf the waves of innovation 
Creating light speed exhilaration 
Worried to lose what they don’t have 
Yet right here, right now, it’s 
All at our fingertips 

All good for some 
All bad for others 
But who knows?
Who knows?
Follow your heart 
Let passion drive you 
And let truth do  
The heavy lifting 

Flow for your purpose 
Stay true to your service 
Keep finding ways
To ride the joy waves  

Just ride the joy waves 
Ride (ride them high)
Just ride the joy waves 
Ride them high (Real high)  

The fans motivate  
The haters motivate  
The true creators 
Respect the balance  

Just ride the joy waves 
Ride (ride them high)
Just ride the joy waves 
Ride them high (Real high)

Just ride the joy waves 
Ride (ride them high)
Just ride the joy waves 
Ride them high (Real high)

Joy Waves

Soul Bell Lyrics   

To reach me is not easy
I’m busy being tough
Too busy trying too hard
To be what? Never enough 

Who’s the authority of my approval? 
Who’s ordained with perfect vision? 
Who’s threatening my removal
On this hoop jumping mission?

In a battle with this crazy world 
Is a cruel fight with who exactly?
Must deal with my judgement hurl
That inner deep unsatisfactory

I’m not allowed to look there
I can never have the time
Flaws and failure if I dare
Is the only thing I’ll find.

Yet I exist, I persist,
So confusing, so deluding
Dividing myself from divine right
Busy excusing and exuding

Lies, lies, lies about 
Self, self, self
Cry, cry, deny all
Help, help, help
Lies, lies, lies about
Self, self self
Can’t deny, it’s time
To ring my soul bell!  

Time for my fervour
What must be true?
Can’t look any further
Than my creation in view

What God-Universe is in me?
How truly loving must it be?
Would it choose my absence?
Or am I an eternal substance?
 
I am taking a risk on the latter
Just be me, I already matter
No longer trapped in roles
with self defeating goals

The lies, lies, lies now end
Truth does finally set me free
To view all with the omni lens
Precious artists and artworks in progress

Soul Bell

We wish for all our young to find their strength and voice through the challenges of their teens. 

Your Voice Lyrics   

Crying eyes, hard shut 
You still found my thumb 
And squeezed it firmly 
The start of our story
That moment you were born 
A miracle to our world
That day I had sworn
To protect you, baby girl

Yet, I noticed very early 
You were a cautious one 
I fished, throwing burley 
As you climbed rocks for fun
I said and did nothing 
Knowing you’d be fine 
Standing between gull and fish 
You protected our dinner dish 

We thought we protected you 
You did conquer cliffs 
But there was more to do 
Dealing with sociopaths 
Should have seen them coming
Conditioned for the shunning
You were their bait 
They maimed your faith 

A fate we had to change 
Unfitting for a heart so pure 
We were too slow to chase 
Ideas lodged to endure
We watched the pain set in 
Taking over your life force 
Our tools unable to get in
Trampled on a dark course  

Too precious for lies 
To be deceived like this 
Too resilient and wise 
To be kept down like this
Finding your substance 
Without losing your kindness
A new song to sing 
Ending the lonely silence  

You found your voice 
Strong and sweet 
You found your voice
To cool the heat  
You found your voice 
To make your presence felt 
A voice that now leads  
Hearts to melt 

You had to realise 
All on your own 
That breaking free 
Is not done alone 
Though the choice 
Was to be made by you  
Making a difference 
Starts with you 

Too precious for lies 
To be deceived like this 
Too resilient and wise 
To be kept down like this
Finding your substance 
Without losing your kindness
A new song to sing 
Ending the lonely silence  

You found your voice 
Strong and sweet 
You found your voice
To cool the heat  
You found your voice 
To make your presence felt 
A voice that leads  
Hearts to melt 

What a platform
You now enjoy 
In great form
Finding your joy
Taking your ups
With your downs 
Building self-love 
So much found 

Too precious for lies 
To be deceived like this 
Too resilient and wise 
To be kept down like this
Finding your substance 
Without losing your kindness
A new song to sing 
Ending the lonely silence  

You found your voice 
Strong and sweet 
You found your voice
To cool the heat  
You found your voice 
To make your presence felt 
A voice that leads  
Hearts to melt

Sweet, sweet voice 
Strong ‘n carefree 
Sweet, sweet voice 
Knowing how to be  
Sweet, sweet voice 
Standing tall 
Sweet, sweet voice 
Handling it all 
In great company

Your Voice

Not many people can avoid the struggle of heartbreak and trying to save a relationship while becoming resolved that it needs to end. There are at least 2 sides to every story, but in my experience working with countless people trying to move on, that it is not easy.The breakup - make up cycle can go on for years until for many, that day arrives. That day when you know, enough is enough and it is truly the end. You do not want to cut and run in relationships without trying to work things out - but there is also the other side of the extreme, which is overcooking and drifting into numbness. 

Wet Blurry Bright Lights Lyrics 

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on 
Moving on for good

They tried to warn me 
You were no good
They didn't see 
The parts of you I could 
So many glimpses 
Of what could have been
The second eye opened
To finally see 

You couldn’t even measure up 
To your own expectations 
You knew how to seal your fate
With those lame justifications
With so much fear, so much doubt
My world was spinning as I walked out

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on 
Moving on for good 

So much love 
When you were in the mood 
Hysterical laughter 
Aching bellies, after
I hope you miss me 
Like I think you should 
I did so much for you 
But you made it win-lose

You couldn’t even measure up 
To your own expectations 
You knew how to seal your fate
With those lame justifications
With so much fear, so much doubt
My world was spinning as I walked out

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on 
Moving on for good 

I feel different now 
Like its really it this time
It was that look
When I caught my eyes
In the mirror 
Too numb from the hurt  
From too many lies  
Too many times, burnt 

I tried to change you 
Thought you wanted to 
I gave way too much 
But giving was a rush 
That spoiled you rotten
Now I’ve removed the cotton
And removed myself 
Soon, you’ll be long forgotten 

You couldn’t even measure up 
To your own expectations 
You knew how to seal your fate
With those lame justifications
With so much fear, so much doubt
My world was spinning as I walked out

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on, moving on
Moving on for good 

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on, moving on
Moving on for good

Wet Blurry Bright Lights

So, I don't really know when I started these lyrics, but I looked at a rough incomplete draft and shaped it into a new direction quickly and here is what it became. 

We Are The Light Lyrics   

I thought learning 
What others know 
Was just accepting 
How things go 
And what’s been true 
Who am I to think 
I can offer the new? 
To fall ’n be kicked

Where is the light?
Is it within me? 
Within you?
Is that true?

Who’s going to shine our light?
Other than we? (Other than we)
Who's going to shine our light 
Other than me (’n you?)
’n shine it through 
Shine that light
(We are the light)
Shine that light
(We are the light)

Mental thoughts scatter
In the dark 
Seeking salvation 
Need logic for a mark 
Confusion reigns 
Curtain call’s the pain
Of nothing done 
For another day

Where is the light?
Is it within me? 
Within you?
It must be 
(We’re no fools)

Who’s going to shine our light?
Other than we? (Other than we)
Who's going to shine our light 
Other than me (’n you?)
’n shine it through 
Shine that light
(We are the light)
Shine that light
(We are the light)

Divided against each other 
Killed off the peace-keeping lover 
Origin lost of the oracle mother 
Falling down the moral ladder
Acting like it doesn't matter 
Go on, write me a letter 
That things will get better 
That we will get better

Because what’s the point
Of all of this? 
Trying hard to not be dissed 
Waiting on waves 
To ride joy and bliss
Performing desperately 
For a hit and miss
Time to flick (Flick that switch)

And turn on the light
The one within me
The one within you
For we must live 
(A greater rule)

Time to shine our light
Shine as we (Shine and see)
Time to shine our light
Shine as we (Shine and see)
Shine it through 
Shine that light
(We are the light)
Shine that light
Light

We Are The Light

It does make me wish Prince could have sung this one :) 

Just Like That Lyrics (Chill Out Remix) Version 

It’s a long, long story
This human affair
The mother of experiments 
But we came - we dared
To be told we’re soul-less 
What a scare 
Drowned in the hubbub 
Of ideological despair

It all got really weird
When divinity got lost
Ask where we’re from 
What’s been the cost? 
How did we lose ourselves
By dilly dally distraction 
While others busy profiting 
From our self destruction

It’s the end of the line
For these preachy types
Who dictated reality
Every data byte
Can they fade away? (Fade away) 
Maybe we need a coup d’état
Trojan horse of the truth-class arrives 
Data noise ambushed and rejected (Ha!)

And just like that
The world was changed
Billions distilling
The knowing rain 
Every view - not the same
Each new view - now in play 
Just like that (Just like that) 
Just like that (Just like that)
You wanna play?

Imagine, imagine
A reality making sense
Where whatever’s happening
Appears through your lens
Where what works - stays 
Where, your value - pays 
What matters - builds 
What doesn’t - falls away

Its the end of the line
For these controlling types
Who choose what we see 
Decide the hype 
Too many data bytes
Overwhelmed the senses 
Cooked emotions 
Until meaning got resurrected 
(as data perfected)

And just like that
The world was changed
Billions distilling
The knowing rain 
Every view - not the same
Each new view - now in play 
Just like that (Just like that) 
Just like that (Just like that)
You wanna play?

A choice belongs 
Where it rarely did 
To look much deeper 
And blow the lid
On motion that hurts 
Catching the causes 
Synchronize motion 
For higher purpose

Look at that commotion
I wonder why it is 
Let me turn my attention 
To what's clocking it 
I trust the patterns 
That gift me my lessons 
It’s my data trace 
That now guides the way

We are over the line 
From the leachy types
Who dictated reality
Every data byte
Soon they will 
Work it out
How a switch was flicked 
And the pure and simple flowed out

To see how just like that
The world just changed
How billions of us
Began to better value exchange 
Where every view has a say 
Where diverse views parade
Just like that (Just like that) 
Just like that (Just like that) 

Come on now
Let’s play (Let’s Play!)
Come on now
Let’s play (Let’s Play!)
Come on now
Let’s play (Let’s Play!)
Come on now
Let’s play (Let’s Play!) 
Let’s play (Let’s Play!) 
Let's play

Just Like That (Chill Out Remix)

These lyrics came out real quick - like 15 minutes quick. The feeling was strong and within 12 hours somebody I had a meeting with says out of the blue, totally random, "This is my last lifetime - I am going home" - I smiled - just coincidences hey? :) 

I Wanna Be Lyrics 

It doesn’t matter what they say
It doesn’t  matter what they do 
When you’re clear  
What motivates you 

So when the critics come 
And lay it on thick and strong 
Can you love yourself 
Even if you’re damn wrong 
Can we go home 
Where we matter more 
More than what we get right 
Where we know and feel 
We belong to it all 

I wanna be 
In that knowing too
I wanna feel it
Long and lasting too
I wanna be 
In that knowing 
I wanna feel it
Long and lasting 

Oooh yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, 
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah 

When you’ve been lost 
For way too long 
And question 
Where you belong 
When obstacles pile up 
Get heavy on the chest 
Can you love yourself 
While sinking in the mess? 

Can we go home 
Where we matter more 
More than what we get right 
Where we know and feel 
We belong to it all 

I wanna be 
In that knowing too
I wanna feel it
Long and lasting too
I wanna be 
In that knowing 
I wanna feel it
Long and lasting 

Oooh yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, 
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah 

We are going (Going)
Somewhere else (Else) 
It’s not far away 
It’s a state of birth 
Not of bodies born  
But where dimensions dawn
Unseen to the seen 
The invention of tension 
Of a separation from love 
A separation from self 
That caused the longing 
Like nothing else 
Nothing else 

Can we go home 
Where we matter more 
More than what we get right 
Where we know and feel 
We belong to it all 

I wanna be 
In that knowing too
Sometimes I glimpse it
In me and you 
I wanna be 
In that knowing 
Until it becomes
Long and lasting 

Oooh yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, 
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah 

It doesn’t matter what they say
It doesn’t  matter what they do 
When you are clear about 
What motivates you 
So when the critics come 
And lay it on thick and strong 
Can you love yourself 
Even if you’re damn wrong 
I think so (Do you think so?)
Oooh yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, 
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah 

I Wanna Be

The best news ever, but why it is so hard to receive - eh?

Divine Lyrics 

Let me flex 
My lyrical skill 
Weave in words 
That flow and thrill 
On a higher trip 
Where hearts do fill 
With rhyme ’n rhythm
So you can’t stay still  

But will I rant 
About something deep?
Where ‘aha’ moments  
Wake the dead from sleep 
It ain’t easy to do 
So maybe I won’t 
I’d rather play
Than rattle bones 

Yet I still say it 
To spray it far and wide 
Influence the masses 
Who lie and hide 
But why do I bother? 
You want me to tell?
One more shot to help
Buy what I sell 

It’s the worst kept secret 
This divinity thing 
We search all over 
But rarely within 
It’s the worst kept secret
This endless you 
Fully loaded   
To fill big shoes    
The more you go in 
The more you’ll find 
Like I told you 
You’re indeed divine 
(Indeed divine) 
Indeed divine 

You’re too tired?
Too old, too young?
Swing the excuses 
Claim you’re dumb  
Am I picking on you?
Do you want me too?
Are you sick of your life
And need a breakthrough?

‘Cause I can crack 
Your shell wide open 
Expose the rot 
Where you’re broken
So you can see 
It’s an inside job 
Where all your worth 
Has been robbed 

So again I will say it 
May it enter your soul
Influence your being
To get outta that hole 
But why do I bother? 
Why did I tell?
One more round of shots
To buy what I sell 

It’s the worst kept secret 
This divinity thing 
We search all over 
But rarely within 
It’s the worst kept secret
This endless you 
Fully loaded   
To fill big shoes   
The more you go in 
The more you’ll find 
Like I told you 
You’re indeed divine 
(Indeed divine) 
Indeed divine

Your turn to join me 
Crack open the shells 
Let’s spread that message 
So life ends well 
Help those kids 
In adult bodies 
Following nasty masters 
We’re ending the folly 

So let’s say it 
May it enter their soul
Influence their being
To get outta that hole 
But why do we bother? 
Why did we tell?
Hold the rounds 
You must sell well 

It’s the worst kept secret 
This divinity thing 
We search all over 
But rarely within 
It’s the worst kept secret
This endless you 
Fully loaded   
To fill big shoes   
The more you go in 
The more you’ll find 
Like I told you 
You’re indeed divine 
(Indeed divine) 
Indeed divine 
(Indeed divine )  
Divine, divine
Divine

I create music as a hobby and as a therapy and provide workshops for others to do that too, using AI to help produce tracks. I also create empowerment systems to help people at scale increase their confidence and resilience by engaging their adaptive nature and work towards living a purposeful life. While all my song lyrics are written by me, and some tracks come from my personal compositions including instrumentals that I add lyrics to, I use AI to merge these with songs I share with you here. It really makes you realise how important your own words are in a song. And if you had not noticed from many of my tracks, my favourite Artist is Prince - I was fortunate enough to have spend time with him on stage in 2003 singing Get Wild, while he stood beside me.
