| Human No descriptionCommentsLynell Ficklin says... The question is (of course) "Are we human or ...". The first time I really listened to the song, (a) I played it about ten times in a row, (b) every time I played it I could hardly keep from weeping, and (c) I immediately thought of Jackson Brown's "For A Dancer". Please listen to that song in conjunction with this one (the version on the album Western Wall by Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris blows me away). So, the answer. When we are born, we are human. When we die we are dancer. And in between we may be either, both, or neither, depending on who we are, what we have become. Posted on March 15, 2011 Bertram Jester says... A Great driving beat, gets to you and brings you along in this journey into "human" behavior. If you don't know or understand the lyrics, I can't help you. It goes much deeper than the surface. Posted on March 15, 2011 Asa Preast says... Day & Age is just great! All the songs on this album are worth listening and at least for me... everytime there's a new album from The Killers I first get to think it won't be as good as the previous one but once you listen to it 3 times you notice it is as good or even better! Posted on March 16, 2011 Jesus Dunshie says... There have been a lot of comments on this song, a lot of criticism. The song is slightly bizarre, because it is basically a dance beat wrapped around a song that is disparaging, or at least questioning, dancers. This is probably the most cynical lyric I have ever run across, and it probably makes the most sense if you view it as representing Hunter Thompson, the journalist who created Gonzo Journalism. The song runs through soul and love and devotion, grace, virtue, good. Wave goodbye? I think a lot of the reviewers who panned this song were looking for what they always tend to see in music, which is not enough. Maybe they were confused by the form, the beat, and figured the lyrics had to be stupid. I don't know if the lyrics are profound, but they are interesting and the song as a whole is quite brilliant. Certainly compared to Viva la Vida,this is a catchy song that has a little harder edge. As a former resident of Las Vegas, there is a Vegas quality to the song, big and glitzy but pretty hard at the core. Well, the song works. The arrangement is great, the vocal is very solid, reflecting the tone of the song which is, obviously, enigmatic. What's a band supposed to do? These guys aren't philosophers, but are they totally lacking in any ideas? Even if there is just an impression of an idea, it's a good song. Posted on March 16, 2011 Nora Folks says... this is one of 2008' best records...if not THE best.. The killer keep improving and making better and better music... BTW, is Human or Dancer(not denser, nor dancers... ;) Posted on March 18, 2011 Adalberto Klimko says... We are dancing humans, no?Listen on your zune or ipod, will have those feet moving. Posted on March 19, 2011 Rowena Papasergi says... I've always been a huge fan of The Killers, but Human is the song that really made me love them. It's incredible song, with insightful and meaningful lyrics. We need more songs like these in modern music Posted on March 20, 2011 Sol Oehler says... The Killers' latest hit,"Human",evokes the bygone disco days. One can imagine the spinning mirrorball,the Afros,the cheesy disaster movies. While Battlestar Galactica fans are wondering who's a Cylon and who's not,The Killers sing about the meaning of being human. There's an innocent joy to it. Am I human,or am I dancer? Posted on March 20, 2011 Nathaniel Elmblad says... You get what you expect from this band.Certainly not early REM but solid. Posted on March 24, 2011 Andres Batzer says... "Human" is the latest single release from The Killers. The song has a driving beat, a melody with a retro-70s feel, and lyrics that have several layers of meaning. Listening to the song for the first time a person might get the impression that "Human" is a fun song with a nonsensical melody that's got a great rhythm to dance to. However, there is much more to the song and it touches closer to the soul than a typical pop song. Not only that, but the chorus of the song was inspired by a quote from Hunter S. Thompson. Not bad for a four-minute ditty recorded in one night. Posted on March 26, 2011 Leave a Comment |
