About the Song
As the world entered lockdowns and the new concept of social distancing began to permeate the collective conscious, this song was born as an anthem expressing the yearning for deep connection to source and to each other. Inspired in large part by Hamid’s own health challenges and isolation at home during this time, the song expresses a universal truth: we need each other more than ever. It was also a reminder of the simple beauties of being human, consumed at times with a range of emotions, and learning to savor each experience whether joyful or painful.
As the song culminates in the chant of Jai Ma Durga, invoking the Divine Mother, it becomes a chorus to George Floyd’s cries to his mother as he was being suffocated by police, and an acknowledgment of our collective suffocation.
The Greatest Mystery is that which we cannot put into words, but which we all feel, especially in the most trying of times.
