That's what "being human" means in this song. There's very little sweetness and compassion going on at all. Listen again. :)

A lot of people commented that this song was produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis of Flyte Tyme Productions but what no one has mentioned is that the song was already written by them when Human League came in to lay down the vocals. The woman's lines weren't added until the next day because the woman that was sleeping with one of the male singers complained about there not being any part for them. So Terry told them to come back the next day and he had the woman's line written and ready to record.

I don't think yall caught it, but the songs lyrics were about him apologizing for cheating, and the spoken word on her part was apologizing for the same thing. Thus leading to the title of the song. "I'm only human, born to make mistakes". That was the premise of the song.

@MorrisB1971 2 жыл бұрын

This song was about how he cheated to not feel alone in her absence. Some comfort to ease his pain and being honest with her but at the same time she in return admits she did the same thing while they were taking a break from each other too. Such a gentle but song of forgiveness and longing and realizing afterwards you got clarity and now know you really need and want each other for life. Just a great song and the harmonies and airy production. Just heaven to the ears and senses. Produced by the legendary producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis

One of the many hits that are part of the "Minneapolis Sound," which influenced SOOOOO MUCH of the music of the 80s. This was another song produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (members of the group, The Time), who, along with Prince, impacted that whole decade of music via song production. They were also responsible for ALL of Janet Jackson's albums, Bobby Brown's hits during the 80s and early 90's, New Edition's albums when they added Johnny Gill, Johnny Gill's album production, a few of Mary J Blige's albums, and lesser known pop artists (but ones who were very stong with R&B songs of the day) like Cherelle, Alexander O'Neil, and others I've probably forgotten about. If you look up the number of songs they and Prince produced during that Era, you'd probably be shocked -- "I feel for You" by Chaka Khan, for instance, is a Prince song.

If you want an 80s gem that will let you groove and move. I have the perfect song. It’s not possible to sit still when listening to this song. Young MC “ Bust A Move”…I dare you not to groove. The beat will get you.

You said, "If you really listen to the lyrics it's a sweet song" Did you not catch that they cheated on each other? This lyric says it all. "The tears I cry aren’t tears of pain, they’re only to hide my guilt and shame, I forgive you, now I ask the same of you, while we were apart, I was human too."

Human League were one of the first electronic New Wave bands to hit big in America. This is from the album Crash, produced by Janet Jackson's super producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Check out Love is All That Matters from the same album. Other songs to check out: Fascination, Love Action, The Lebanon (my favorite), Heart Like a Wheel, and The Things That Dreams Are Made of. Great, great music!

BTW, this song was produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, the same duo who produced Janet Jackson, SOS Band and many other famous artists plus they were apart of the group The Time which had Morris Day.

Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley. What an incredible combo.

This is my favorite song of theirs which is an epic song in my opinion. They formed in 1977 and still perform to this day. The lead Phillip Oakey who is now 68 has an amazing voice along with the two females are an awesome trio.

This is a hidden gem of Human League. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were the songwriters of many hits in pop, R&B as well.

Ahhh the 80's, so many good memories! This song was a huge hit here in Brazil. Produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, these guys are hit makers with an unmistakable sound, they signed great songs for The S.O.S. Band, Change, Alexander O'Neal, Cherrelle, Cheryl Lynn, Force M D.'s, New Edition, Janet Jackson. and many others. I suggest you guys to try Herb Alpert - Making Love In The Rain (featuring Lisa Keith and Janet Jackson), you won't be disappointed. See ya!

The male singer asked the two girls one day when he met them if they wanted to go on tour with them and the rest is history they have been with The Human League every since.

The Human League are still touring in Europe, though Philip is the only one in the lineup who has been going the whole 45 years! A more modern, blues rock song called Human was released 5 yrs ago by Rag 'n' Bone Man. It won Song of the Year in 2017, plus International Song of the Year. It is very different and very, very moving. You'd love it.

The League still comes to the States once in a great while. I saw them in Vegas about four or five years ago. Small venue, but it was a great show. No one in that audience was under 40. It was awesome.

This song is a long way from the other one you reacted to. That's that "Jam & Lewis" sound. I think this group had been gone for a while and they hooked up with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and made sort of a comeback. Jam and Lewis are outstanding producers and if you have a good ear, you can recognize their sound with a lot of artists.

@nettricegaskins1871 2 жыл бұрын

This song propelled producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis into the pop universe. In fact, Prince kicked them out of the band The Time for moonlighting and making songs like this possible. You can hear their trademark sound in Janet Jackson's hit songs, as well.

I absolutely loved the human league in the 80’s, they had some real bangers. Their debut album “Dare” was full of cracking tunes. Phil oakey’s voice was unique and I have to admit that I had a bit of a crush on him 😍 Some other 🔥80s hits I’m sure you’d love: Temptation-Heaven 17, (FF) Ride on time-Black box, Sign your name-Terence Trent D’Arby, Rocket-Herbie Hancock, 19-Paul Hardcastle, (FF) The only way is up-Yazz and the plastic population, Dancing on the ceiling-Lionel Richie, (FF) Funky town-Lipps Inc, Maneater- Hall and Oates, (FF) Mickey-Toni Basil, to name but, a few. Keep doing what you’re doing, you are awesome 🥰💜🌈🙏🏻 Ps female Friday (FF)

I think this is one of the greatest songs out of the 80s! it was written and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. If you don't know made Janet Jackson the queen a pop that she is. I don't think they could have got a better band to perform this song. A guilt-stricken man that decided to stray while he was apart from his love. Just the music alone is very emotional.
