  • 96 are only aliens

  • So they both cheated on each other? :O

  • I didn't know Nicholas Cage could sing!

  • the girls in this video look like the women painted by Patrick Nagel.

  • Totally unbelievable - brings back tons of memories from the 80's.!!

  • Awesome song, love the drums used to mark the rythm, kinda depeche mode, or phil collins ;P One of the best 80's songs.

  • My favorite line from this has always been "While you were gone...I was human too!"

  • Loved the 80s music, the bold looks, make up and hair styles

    All of it was so divers and original

    Sadly nowadays it rather all blend.

    mind you the 80s fashion are making a come back :-)

    with any luck the music hair style and make up will follow :-)

  • Saw them LIVE in Montreal ,VERY late 80's, TINY venue (Theatre St. Denis ) & very surprisingly, "HUMAN " was THE Killer trak of the night!!! TINY space (+/- 3000 ) = PERFECT SOUND & "HUMAN " has THE DEEPEST " SUSTAINED " BASS-LINE E.V.E.R. !!!( "unSUSTAINED " is MANU KATCHE's "HELLO YOU " ; check it out !!!

  • kinda sounds like New Edition - Can You Stand The Rain

  • nostalgia is a great thing...back in the day most of my friends and i thought stuff like that to be just some small time crap that mtv forced on us...now, i love the early and mid-80s...that was some pretty great pop music

  • Thumbs up if you are living in the year 2011

  • Hermosa cancion, me evoca muy bellos recuerdos, con la magia que tiene la musica.Gracias Human League y joyd por subirla.

  • 名曲です

  • Cooooool

  • I dont know why the music in the 80s was so perfect, for me was the goden decade for the music, to day we only have noise.

  • @citroneto not quite, most of the music in the US was awesome, but there's still exeptions in pop (not US pop) today.

  • LINDO

  • LINDO LINDO LINDO VIVA ANOS 80 MORRO DE SAUDADES DESSE TEMPO QUE NÃO VOLTA MAIS SÓ AQUI NO YOU TUBE AINDA BEM QUE EXISTE ESSE SITE UMA DAS MAIORES MARAVILHAS DA INTERNET ANDERLAN 5536 RJ

  • I'm an alien

  • Five made a perform of this song. Original is better, but this song is so perfect.

  • 80's when good music, singers and lyrics ended.......  so sad

  • 80's better by far......................

  • @pyeman90 Make that the best. ;)

  • Mmmm nostalgia. I find myself revisiting those emotions I experienced over 20 years ago: When the fuck are the Pixies going to start? Unlike some, I still need to be a Debaser.

  • We're only human man, born to make mistakes, ones of inhumanity, hostility, evil, no compassion etc it could have been a utopia, great gifts we have, great gifts.

    Much love

  • How many times do I listen to this and think of the times when life could have been so different for me and her, she is so near yet so far and I will always love her regardless of what happens in life.

  • SUPER!!! PURE NOSTALGIE!!

  • pufffff recordar es vivir desde bogota colombia

  • Oh... How can I get back those teenage years where everything was so simple and yet....so heartbreaking!

  • @SodaSt88 Yep, I wonder that all the time...

  • another great song from a great decade

  • This song reminds me of my trip to France. Heard it in the way there. Beautifull :)

  • Howard Jones, along with The Human League and Belinda Carlisle will visit Smart Araneta Coliseum in Manila, The Philippines to perform on Oct 10, 2011.

  • @Supersweetguy Wow Philippines! I wish i could be there to watch these great artists..I miss 80's music..

  • Thumbs up if your still lovin Human League in 2011

  • hahah 80s emos,30 second to mars,mcr take note.lol

  • Excelente versión.

  • non capite 1 minchia

  • Well what can I say the Best of British written all over this track!! It is a fantastic song and so many people can relate to the lyrics in more than one context so yes whatever place you are in or leaving this song can be applied to the circumstances relating to love and the issues it brings to the interface of life.

  • @sduroch the sound is more american than british as it's produced by jimmy jam and terry lewis who were the american equivalent of stock/aitken/waterman (only better) back in the 80's. Your right about the song though

  • ahhh I just love the beginning music to this. what 80s memories. I used to get this group mixed up with the Spoons lol for awhile. Early Alzheimer's disease I guess. I know I know Human League are British and the Spoons are Canadian. I love them both:)!

  • Oh dear, this is a decent illustration of how formulaic pop had become by the mid-80s...

  • love this kind of music... i made a remix with this song

  • Susan just looks outstandingly beautiful, OMG, I go weak at the knees every time I see this video

  • the days of a full head of hair to play with and make or break

    an oufit...god I miss that

  • THE BEST SONG, WE ARE HUMAN AND MAKE MISTAKES . HO SI!!

  • What a great song= evokes emotion and passion

  • written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis if my memory serves, listen to the keys and the drum parts, you could almost imagine Janet Jackson or Alex O Neil singing this, absolutely beautiful song.

  • Comment removed

  • Dare was an incredible break through album for them.it probably pointed the new romantics in the right direction.Class.

  • I'm 26, and I am jealous of the people who are older than me, and also who are younger. Older because they experienced the ''good times'' and of the younger because they can relive the good times again, re create it. I'm a complex case lol!! I guess I just feel so ''in the middle''

  • @GibbyGibbyGibb Everyone's in the middle. I'm 46, so, I'm part baby boomer, part generation x??? I'm not sure! ha ha!!! This song definitely brings back memories of homework all-nighters, when in nursing college.

  • @GibbyGibbyGibb Don't be jealous.With this music you can live good times always

  • we are weak,normal to the persons are sinners and we have the freedom to do it but it depends upon us.be GOD FEARING...

  • Nostalgia Bomb!

  • I cheated on my wife, but then I played her this song and she understood. Thanks Human League!

  • @TheLifeDegenerator did your wife say : "i was human too"

  • To Zamigirl right on girly!

  • year i left school.

    its like my teacher said, embrace it because you will miss it when you grow up.

    too true......

  • 95 people who dislike this are not Human :P

  • 94 Aliens dislike this :D

  • Bons tempos!

  • To 44thepistol- trust me you don't have to be born in a certain era to "feel the decace. I wasn't born in Chopins time or when the operas Carmen or Madame

    Butterfly were written. Yet I can feel the music in my heart and soul. Music

    is timeless. It can reach across centuries just like Shakespeares plays can resonate

    past timelines and become West Side story. Why? Because it''s being human. Let your mind always embrace yesterday-today and tommorow.

  • i was born on 89 and i love 80's! eventhough i didnt actually "feel" the decade of 80's, the songs of the great decade is still in me hehe

  • @44thepistol the last son of the 80's =)

  • Excelente Musica y Video. siempre la escuchaba en Lima 80´s.

  • if i had to name one of my top 80's memories, this would be up there !

  • LOS 80´S LA MEJOR EPOCA DE MI VIDA

  • I love this song and video. I wish there are more songs like this one! It's simply....beautiful!

  • human

     are born to make mistakes!!!

  • Absolutely fantastic!!

  • Jam & Lewis at their best

  • Jam & Lewis at their best

  • so good.. i really meant that.. i love this song... memories... yet listen to it, its still a great song, stood the test of time.. CLASS....

  • This song is first song of foreign country, melody is good,now do not fade away, GOOD SONG, When age 10.

  • Essas músicas me remetem á JOVEM PAN.

    Onde á noite eram só clássicos.

    Good times. Só MUSICÃOOOO.

  • Good music *-*

  • @Francozilla Sentiments SO agreed.

    Together with "Love is All That Matters" Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis have never given performers such beautiful music,

    True genius'...or geniiiiii?

  • Essa musíca é muito bonita mesmo...sou do Brasil especificamente de Brasília...e gosto muito dela...me lembra uma época muito boa em minha vida.

    Parabéns!!!

  • In terms of musical quality, inovation, boldness and madness, there´s NO decade at the 20th century better than the marvelous 80s... Why it happened at that special moment in time, is something open to a long debate. But the fact is: It DID happened ! And I was lucky enought to be there, live, see and hear it all...

  • I really love this song, sometimes I feel like crying when I hear this ..

    Even though I love this song, I never wanted someone to sing this beautiful song to me .. err, never !!

    I love the synchronization of the instruments, don't know if I used the right term, but they are used all at the same time and yet its sooooo good ..

  • Nice song. We've all been in that position before, where we've made a stupid mistake and are paying for it since.

  • @TheConcertMac yeah,i feel for you as well.i WAS in that same situation before and yet im still paying from that mistake ive done til now..so much regrets... if only i can TURN BACK THE CLOCK (w/c became my other related favorite song that ive liked ever since it happened.. ) ....( T-T)

  • @TheConcertMac yeah,i feel for you as well.ive been to that situation before ,and just like you-im still paying for that stupidity ive done...so much regrets....so many persons been hurt....if only i could TURN BACK THE CLOCK (w/c became my favorite song since then ) ..... T-T

  • romantica......

  • Essa música me traz belas recordações do Rio de Janeiro...

  • this music knows no barrier nor distance.....I am from Poland and when they played this song on the radio we still had an iron curtain.... Music was the only thing that travelled so easily from West to East Block.

  • 91 people must be subhuman.

  • Best song from The Human League in my opionion :-D. Really love this!

  • What a great band. Many good songs came from the Human League. Thank you.

  • tnis song takes me back.... and the gorgous joanne them eyes......

  • Wonderful

  • im not human 0.o

  • MUSIC OF THE 80s ? It was the time when music had its identity.

  • Still sounds as lovely as the first time I heard it on the radio. 80's... the best bands ever!!!

  • This group are the nuts. Seen them live and they are pure class. I get sick of people slagging off the two girls saying they are just bimbo's. If you heard them sing live you would know just how talented they are. Music of today compared to great 80's music is just a joke.

  • Many will criticise the fashions of the early eighties but as a time to be young it was fantastic.

    New Romanticism was special. It was, at least partially, inspired by the Romantic movement of the early 19th Century - hence some of the clothes and hair styles. The 19thC Romantics believed in, and searched for, more than just the humdrum of the world that they lived in, hence their draw to Mesmerism and his theories of magnetic fluid.

    How many of us are not looking for something more even now?

  • The melody the music the message, whats their not to like.I loved the 80's.

  • my childhood song brings back a nostalgic feeling

  • que temaso de los ochenta lo mejor saludos desde santiago de chile, ochentas forever.

  • amazing song!!!!

  • How could anyone compare these with anyone else today? Forget it, they are/were unique.

  • In the 80s natural talent was the best presentation, no massive internet, no media cels.

  • I wish, the time could stand still. Nearly 30 years is this song "young". Let me say: MY best time in music. The 80s and 90s....what for memories....

  • They weren't funny videos, they were in another decade and I got to say them videos may not have the technology of the new ones but they have class! and not women showing their titties and arses off or men looking rather ''weird'' instead of elegant, that's my opinion

  • Always liked the stark contrast of the tenderness of the song and the dark sexiness of the singer...Steven Segal-ish. Beautiful work by the Human League all around here.

  • Great song!!! But the 80´s music videos are very funny!

  • @cmaisa In what sense are the 80's videos funny?

  • @cmaisa they are not funny. They look old-fashioned now and lack good fashion sense, but the 80s was a very original decade. They did not copy any previous decades like it has been going on since the 90s. The music of the 80s was great too.

  • they dont have to be fun, they are not clowns, they are musicians, and their clothing is only a matter of aesthetics and they taught to a lot of bands and since that time there was nothing new ....

  • @sherlika - True. The vocalist was also trying to look like Rachael (Sean Young) from the movie Blade Runner. Sweet irony isn't it? She was a robot and this song, Human.

  • @sherlika Well said. It is true. I remember growing up in the 80s and being told my music sucked compared to the Beatles and Stones and Zepplin. Now the next big generation is suffering under similar delusions. The peril of being from a small but genius generation. Can anything today compare with the Smiths??

  • I wish a time machine for christmas...

  • Oh to go back to the freedom of the 80's...always had money in my pocket, a smile on my face and lived for Friday night.

  • we love you so the the human leauge cant wait till your album comes out in 2011 called credo i cant wait till i get the album xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Nadolig Llawen o Gymru.

    Merry Xmas from Wales.

  • I was 19 years old in 1980, and every time I hear this song it takes me back to that part of my life. I'm now coming up to 50 years old but, I'm still in my 20's when I hear 80's music. That will explain why I am on You Tube regularly for this "Great escape".

  • @awareman1 I so agree with your comments about the 80's check out my page for more tunes of the decade!

  • I looooove this song!!!! GOOD TIMES ! :D I WAS CHILD

  • The sound of the romantic 80´s that cán´t be a copy of no other!!

  • JJ & TL Production-Great!

  • Fantastic Human

  • Why is it, that whenever I listen to this song, I feel oh so good? Every single time, without fail. Thank you Human League and Joyd.

  • perfect song!!!!!!! =D

  • amazing 80 s i love this nice remembers

  • TIMELESS CLASSIC, POETIC, WORK OF ART....

    Music like THIS make me feel so alive!

    The 80's.... WONDERFUL DECADE in music!

  • The Human League made the 80s memorable. Your music will always be played everytime we remember the 80s.

  • Awww, this is the cutest thing I've seen,lol... it takes away the fact that it's about him cheating,lol..

    So cute, I love the innocence of it all... :0)

  • 9 days till i see them in norwich cant friggin wait :| :D <3

  • @ThatAdzDude While you're there kick the Canaries up the butt for me & tell them to start winning.... & enjoy the concert.... Maybe they come to Australia? Ask them from me to come here.. thanks.

  • Mind - bogglingly brilliant.

  • One of my faves by HL apart from Love Action (1981). I was 5 turning 6 when I first heard that one. And that was at a Skating Rink.! Long live the 80s.

  • I love people, who make, and LOVE art, like these lads do. Great job.

  • peep my song.. im only human.. its in my video's

  • youtube.com/watch?v=0ZaCkhAKyW­o

  • i appreciate this song now more!- than i did in the 80s as a teen!-luv it

  • He looks a bit like Colin Farrel - what's his name....jokley

    Cool tune though and video.

  • @davesmith20092009 Phil Oakley. What are you saying, Jokley? Is that an insult?

  • @Supersweetguy No actually. It just goes with oakley. People who can't afford real Oakley sunglasses tend to either get a cheap pair of anything or a pair of 'jokeleys' - basically, fake oakleys. It just sounds funny.

  • Today's music eminem,kid cudi,taio cruz,akon

  • Miracle Goodnight and myself are in love .. all over again .. with Phil .. drool drool

  • This info for Human League fans!  The new song is called Night People!

  • Sheffield's finest

  • he is so hot...

  • :,( GREAT SONG

  • hit track 

  • i am crying...

  • Maybe it is me :(

  • Loved this song as a kid

  • 2:48 What? You slut!

  • jam and lewis creation of course!

  • peep my profile. thanks

  • MikeSkills. human remix.. tell me what u think its 2010

  • Perfect pop/R&B/slow song for Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam to have the Human League cross over to US markets. Human League stated at the time that they wanted to be like the SOS band. It didn't work in the long run, but this was a great start. Great song. And a great video too.

  • @forbesmh And nobody dos a better slow jam than the SOS band

  • @forbesmh This is almost indistinguishable from the SOS band apart from Oakey's very distinctive vocals. This just might be The Human League's best ever track. I never would have thought I would end up thinking/saying this when it was in the charts all those years ago. Despite the Jam and Lewis production job sounding somewhat dated, (particularly in the drum department) the strength of the melody overrides all other considerations for me.

  • great song....

    remembers me so many things back in the 80´s...

    the girl next door i loved and knew she never would be mine... used to hear this music and think of her ....lolol

    but seriously: great stuff... long live the 80´s

  • Great song! Oh and aboverim nailed it..

  • THIS IS MUSIC

  • THE 80S ROCKS!!!

  • FOREVER IN MY HEART HUMAN LEAGUE AND JIMMY JAM AND TERRY LEWIS FOR THIS TRUE CLASSIC FOR ALL TIME

  • I watched my baby sister wear leg-wharmers- And I did a talent show as Michael Jackson in the thriller jacket and all that.. I won ..I DID BILLIE JEAN AND FLIPPED THE SCRIP.....

  • best times no doubt about it.

  • 90 retards prefer Justin Bieber.

  • @TEMCTZCARA You have my pitty :(

  • the 80's music is the best that can exist

    if you're not happy with that, so do not hit Human League-Human on your keyboard...

  • OMG Phil Oakey was HOT!!

  • amen to both comments

  • 3:26

    Born to make mistakes
