This Human Condition is back with ‘Normal’ an electronic Calypso (Calypso-tronica) inspired track that makes you smile from start to finish, the message being it’s ok not to be normal. With it's infectious brass and soothing carefree vibe it makes you think of sunshine and tropical beaches. If you could capture sunshine into a song then Normal has it by the bucket load, almost like they have captured electronic sunshine in a shot of Rum.
lyrics
My job is killing me, I don’t wanna be
stuck in the routine, of a big machine
days seem to hurry by, i’m wasting time
boredom is the highlight of my life, my life
I don’t wanna be normal
i don’t want a normal life
Do you wanna be normal?
Do you want the normal life?
Who wants to be normal?
Who wants the normal life?
Well not me that’s for sure
I’m not always feeling strong
but i got to keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on
keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on
keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on
keep on, be strong, keep on keeping on
My thoughts become deranged
in truth i am to blame
euphoria needs me
i escape to a fantasy
like a bug eyed loon
lost in space
I’m gonna be braver
i’m gonna be aresol
I’m gonna go wild
Spray myself in gold
I’m gonna be shameless
walking through my fear
i’m gonna let go, let go
and have the perfect year!

Normal people are crazy
Monotony won’t save me
from the pack mentality
non-conforming anikey
celebrate diversity
individuality
free your mind and you will see
normal people are crazy!
I don’t wanna be normal
i don’t want a normal life
Do you wanna be normal?
Do you want the normal life?
Who wants to be normal?
Who wants the normal life?
Well not me that’s for sure
but i got to keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on
keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on
keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on
Keep on, be strong, keep on keeping on
who want to be normal
well not me, that’s for sure
